«O, Lor’, Hit ’Im Again!”

In the early days of Methodism in Scotland, a certain congregation, where there was but one rich man, desired to build a new chapel. A church meeting was held. The old rich Scotchman rose and said: ‘‘Brethren, we dlnna need a new chapel; I’ll give *55 for repairs.” just then a bit of plaster falling from the ceiling hit him on the head. Looking up and seeing how bad it was, he said: “Brethren, its worse thon 1 thoucht; I’ll make it 50 pun’.” “Oh, Lord,” exclaimed a devoted brother on a back seat, “hit im again!” There are many human tabernacles which are in sore need of radical building over, but we putter and fuss and repair in spots without satisfactory results. It is only when we are personally alarmed at the real danger that we act independently and do the right thing. Then it is that we most keenly regret because we did not sooner use our Judgment, follow the advice born of the experience of others, and jump away from our perils. Thousands of persons who will read this paragraph are in abject misery to-day, when they might be in a satisfactory condition. They are weak, lifeless, full of odd aches and pains, and every year they know th?y are getting worse, even though the best doctors are patching them in spots. The origin of these aches and pains is the kidneys and liver, and if they would build these all over new with Warner’s safe cure, as millions have done, and cease investing their money in miserably unsuccessful. patch work. they would be well and happy, and would bless the day when the Lord “hit ’em’'and indicated the common-sense course for them to pursue.—London Press.
