Carter Helm Jones Speaks Upon Character Moulding. (From daily November 7.) A cola is the starting point at more than half of the fatal illnesses from November to May. A cold is the first chapter in the history of every case of consumption.

A cold is the first stags of chronic catarrh, the most loathsoms and stubborn of diseases. A cold is thi legitimate parent of a large family of diseases, such as bronchitis, pleurisy, pneunionifi, and quinsy. To neglect a cold is almost suicide. To fail to pro. vide against this well-nigh inevitable evil is dangerous negligence'.

Pe-ru-no is a safeguard as a preventive, a specific as a cure for all cases of catarrh, acute and chronic. coughs, colds, consump. tion, etc. Every family should bs provided with a copy of be Family Physician No. 2, a complete guide tc prevent and cure winter diseases.

Carter Helm Jones preach. ed last night. upon the "moulding of character." He said, that the most awful word in the language of huin-'. is the word "destiny." 18 hen it is used one seems to be in the presenoe of the "eternal bigness," as a great writer has expressed it. "Who makes weaves the tangled web and woof of fate but ourselves.

There is a belief in the minds of most ta men that God silat the last upon his great all-powerful throne. and as the great masses, as it human souls, MARCH UP BEFORE HIM says to some go up to the eternal brignt. nears and peace and to others go down to the blackness aud infamy. The speaker said that such was not his belief, be did not think that men were mere puppets that whose moving cords were dangled by the hands of a cruel infinity who knccked them down or put them up act-unlit to his pleasure or caprice. He I elleved that it was just as the bible has expretsed it, each goes to his own place a liar who shoots out into eternity with a lie upon his lips goes directly to the place where liars are, a drunkard to the place where drunkards are, a seducer to the place where seducers are, EACH To HIS OWN PLACE.

The pure and good go as naturally to bright halls of everlasting purity and peace as do the wicked to the reverse. Each to his place. He said he was tired of the manner In which the immoral and the debauched of all sorts have come to be talked about as though they were suffering from a disease. Whose fault is it but 'their own? Who carelessly, deliberately and calmly took the first drink or wagered the first bet, or took the first step toward Immorality, but the bloated, half-crazed wretches themselves? He then traced the manner in which a child at school commences weaving the skein of his or her character with his or her good and evil motives, until at last the DESTINY IS FASHIONED. Who is to blame for the state of the soul at last, not God nor the public, but the individual who is alone interested in the fate or destiny of that soul.

In closing he said: I can see how men can by nice and sceptical reasoning doubt the existence of a heaven, but I can not see for a moment how any one can doubt the existence of a If there was no hell men would make one for themselves.

Dr. it Sutherland preached yesterday morning at the tiecond Presbyterian church upon the ludividuality which permeates the whole doctrine of christianity and the influence which 1 this characteristic has had in the tram- ing of the laws of the modern nation- "The people," he said, "no longer belong to the nation, as was the ease lu Christ's time, but the nation to the "the citizens of a republic have no rulers, strictly speaking, but are them- selves the rulers. This places the responsibility of good or bad govern. meat upon the shoulders of the Judi- 1 vidual citizen. 1 "It is the habit of many in this nation of great corporations, great interests and everything great, to regard themselves as of very little iroportance IN POLITICAL AFFAIRS.

"These have come to regard themselves as but part of a gigantic machine which can very well do without them altogether and these have fallen in to the mistaken idea that it Is of no use to vote, as their ballot, so they say, will neither help or hinder the general result. "This is entirely wrong, as every voter in a republic is a sovereign, so it becomes the duty of every sovereign to let their will be known. "It matters not whether you are on the winning or the losing side your vote is not lost if you have, in casting It, expressed YOUR HONEST CONVICTIONS concerning the questions at 'MIS In the election. The responsibility of the government is shifted from your shoulders to others the moment your ballot has been deposited. "There is a tendency in all 'republics for men to form themselves into parties with the idea that they are owned by the party without regard to the principles width the particular party to which they pledge their choose to advocate for the candidates that party puts forth; this is not right.

"I' have heard men boast proudly that they never for twenty past years have ever scratched a party ticket That is all very well, but does it show a logical understanding of the underlying principle of a republican form of government, which is independence? "It would be. quite right to have voted the straight ticket of your party each time for twenty years if all of the men on your party's ticket were GOOD MEN AND TRUE. "It is possible that they were all good men and true and capable of representing good men and true, but it is not probable. Every American citizens should on the day of election Tote according to his convictions, irrespective of race, party or anything but his conception of the right and wrong of the matters at WWI "We have often, as now, men on our political tickets lofty of stature, sun. crowned and godlike, who are pure and high in private thinking and public action.

Let us not stone our prophets." Dr. Sutherland said that it was not his business to point out as to which particular party has a THE RIGHT OR THE WRONG of the present situation, but it was to arouse the conscience of christians as to their duty to God and man. He dwelt very earnestly upon the need of patriotism in a great nation such as this, calling it a God-given passion which has pointed as with the finger of God to the progress of civilization. His able address was listened to with profound attention by the large congregation. After the sermon had been concluded the choir raised the national hymn, "America," and the congregation Joined in the patriotic anthem much vigor and expression.

The feeling of enthusiasm which the sermon had created was Magnetic and was given magnificent expression in the volume of melody which was given forth by the rendition of "America."

After a man has been examined he is given instructions as to the part of athletic work which will most conduce to a symmetrical and healthy develop. ment and is thus often saved from the danger of injuring his physical structure by work that would be to hisactual detriment instead of improvement Thus far the classes have only bees put through very light PREPARATORY MOVEMENT, the reason being that the instructor desired to become acquainted with the men so that he could them according to development. The classes are generally put through a short drill with Indian clubs or bells and are then instructed in some of the simple movements on the bar and horse.
