NATURE NEVER GIVES UP.

A phrase from a recent naagahine
article is so suggestive and so fu ll
of fncourugehieut tbut It seems
w o rthw h ile to make it tbs text fo r
one o f our small sermons, says
W om an’s Home Com|wniot<. The
phrase is: “ N ature n e v e r gives
. up.” You may w ith profit say this
over carefully and thoughtfully
and let Its fa ll meaning com* to
you: “N atu re never gives op.”
N atu re is on t i e side of health,
and sanity, and eonseqdest happt-
ness. H ard as y o u r case may be.
the g re a t M other is fighting the
b a ttle w ith you. Has disease got
Into your bones 1 N ature has m ar­
shaled her forces to combat It,
and w ith marvelous ¿Strategy has
set engiues to work which are en­
deavoring to circumvent the en­
emy. N atu re is working in con
junction w ith the physician and
yourself.
T hat is a thought
which ought to cheer you. Y’ou
have been imprudent, ixisslbly—
have done and ie ft undone. You
have taken such ilRsare of your
God-given body th a t your friends
have set yon down aa hopeless or
worse.
You have told yourself
th a t there is no hope fo r you. Na
to re bus not given you up.
Hhe
wants you tc live and work and bo
healthy sn<L happy and in the
event of your neglect of yourself,
she Is s till fighting fo r you. Bite
.has no inoral icfaa in doing thio.
Rhe Just doiw It. Perhaps you fie
serve to be given op. Many of us
do, it sometimes seems. But Nn
ta re is blind to th a t. O f course,
•b e is not ail-powerttjJ. She can
be overcome. She fails often.
B ut you w ifi do w ell to remember
th a t in every case while there la
a spark of life le ft, «1» is trying.
Let th a t tlionght brace you. Buck
up, and give Na ture stfme help.

could carry the analogy in to the
m oral world as well. j>o jo u not

Dut the children were not sick and
they d.d not know di wouragemsnt;
Christmas nad always brought Its gifts
before, why should It fail now f So
U e two girls hang up their stocking,
and the brother put his booh-atrap on
the front douT-knub.
Of course the gifts came When la
all (heir live« had their mother ever
failed them? The se a l moraiag the
book-strap held fttllo k h "Course o f

few little sea shUla long treasured by
the mother, an a r.U rie l flower and a
false curl, relies a t a fashion of Mrs.
W illard's youuger days.
Poor, pathetic gifts they sound to
us, but to the happy. fteslthy-hearted
little trio they were all that could bo
desired, eaie the Youth’s Companion.
