WHEN THE IIEART^TOPS.
Telling of Ills experiments with a
pew sort of respirator, a New York
physician asserts that hearts which
had ceased to pulsate for twenty-three
minutes have been made to beat anew.
It bus been thought tljat when the
heart stops beating life Is dead. It no
longer sends the vital fluid circulating
through the body. Respiration and
other functions cease.
Hut now come the modern surgeons.
With hands of wizardry they reach
Into the cardiac cavity and set the
heart to beating again. Unless actual
death of the tissues has supervened,
life may come back to the body.
That Is bodily resurrection. But—
Suppose the figurative heart, the
center of Ihe mental organism, stops
heating. In other words, suppose the
hope which animates the human being
seems to die. Can it be Set to going
•gain ?
Just when the death of hope comes
■o one can tell. Probably never.
Go niriong the sodden “down and
onts” of the big cities, lined up per
haps in the "bread line," and bold out
to them the prospect of a resurrection
of their worldly fortunes. You will
see the eye lighten and the back
straighten.
Hope Is not dead even there, you sea
Pass Into the house of wealth where
sorrow visibly expressed tells of
loved one taken away by death. Speak
ns the Master spoke of the sure resnr
rectlon, and, If yon speak In such wise
as to carry conviction to the heart,
hope will be rekindled in the mournful
breast.
There ntso hope has not died.
In fact, the physical restoration of
the heart to Its functions Is a miracle
not greater than the reawakening of
hope. As the physician of the body
may bring It back from the very brink
of the grave, so may the physician of
the soul. If properly equipped, restore
Its life.
Go to your Bible to read the word*
of Him who said:
"Come unto Me, all ye that labor nnd
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.’*
Is not that rest the reawakening of
the hope of the heurt?

Talks

OTHERS AND YOURSELf.
"lie not angry that you cannot make
others what you wish them to be, since
you cannot itiako yourself what you
wish to l>e.”
Words of wisdom from Thomas s
Kempis, the churchman of the fifteenth
century, who wrote n “little book”
that Is still rend and is accounted
among the world's great storehouses
of wisdom.
How soothingly his words full on the
oar of the person Impatient with iu
ferlorlty and wrongdoing!
la*t us try to analyze them.
First, “lie not angry that you can
not make others what you wish them
to be.”
Some of us have wished that we
could remold the world nearer to the
heart’s desire, ns Omar Khayyam says,
aud many of us have desired to work a
change In those about us.
When we are embittered by their
opposition or infuriated by their stu
pidity. what would we not give to l>e
able to make them what we wish
them to he! How easy it would he if
we could only make them see things us
we view them or convince them that
we are in the right nnd they are in the
wrong 1
So certain are we of ourselves!
There is the self confidence that Is
good, for it leuds strength to the arm
and keenness to the brain in doing the
work that must be done. Such Is the
self reliance that is founded ou the
strong rock of consciousness of right.
No storms of opposition should be per
mitted to shake it.
lint there is also the seif confidence
which is mistaken and which is merely
stubbornness in the wrong. That Is
the spirit which makes us wish to
make others what we want them to
be. heedless of our own shortcomings.
For is it not true that we cannot
make ourselves what we wish to be?
We know well what we should like
to lie. but we permit our limitations
to liar tlie way. We know, for exam
ple. that the attainment of a certain
oud requires the exercise of Industry
nnd unremitting effort, but we go In
our old, slothful, unavailing way—un
til the golden time of opportunity Is no
more.
We see the light of righteousness
and willfully blind ourselves to It
That ts the weakness of our human na
ture.
We should not be angry, therefore,
because we cannot remodel the world
and Its conditions and our neighbors
to suit ourselves, since in our hearts
we know that It Is hard to bring our
selves to make progress toward the
goal of perfection which lies before

least one dreaded disease that
science has i>eon able to cure in all
its slanges, and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure i- the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
eonstifcntioual treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cuie is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitutation and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi
