PAGE TWO. MONDAY MTf-, THE CAPITAL JOURNAL JfST ONE OF SAiEM'S Sunday Sermons By Ke. J. R. Bock St. Joseph's Church Public Forum As a text is given: "15y the Grace ef God, I am hat I am." 1 Cor. XV, u. We ere taught in oar theology that "Grace Is a supernatural aid or gift from God." We also know that grace may be actual or transient, and ha bitual or sanctifying. Actual or tran sient grace is the supernatural en lightenment of the understanding and inspiration of the will to shun evil and to do 'good. While habitual er Sanctifying grace is' that quality which makes the soul holy and pleat lag to Ged. Habitual grace is the re sult of cooperation with actual grace. We are aware of the fact that a large class of people scoff-at the idea of grace and in fact of the teachings of Christianity generally. And would fain do away with all Christian teach ing. They remind Us of the- eld hhih who went to a menagerie for the first time, and beholding a giraffe eating from the top of a nearby tree, examined the animal carefully and then exclaimed "There ain't no slch animal." He had never seen it before, " therefore it did not exist and was a fake. , So, often times it is with those who oppose Christianity and Christian edu cation. They have never experienced its influence, have observed It only superficially or not at all. and come to the conclusion that it is a fit sub ject for the fanatics and insane. And when we speak of graoe, they cry most loudly, "There ain't no sich an imal." Perhaps one of the best examples of actual as well as habitual grace is given to us in the fourth book of ' Kings, where we read a most interest ing account of how Naaman was cur ed of the dread disease of leprosy. It runs briefly as follows: Naaman was a great general In the army of the king of Syria. He had been in strumental In freeing Syria and was therefore looked up to and made much of. lie was also rich, and being a favorite with the king was a man of great Importance. But Naaman was afflicted with the dread disease leprosy, and above all his desires was that of being freed from the horrible disease. Among the captives taken by the Syrians was a little maid who- was given to IS'na tnan's wife to wait upon her. This little maid, learning of Naman'a lep rosy, Mild, "t)h If he might only see the prophet in Israel, ha would be cured." Her faith was so great that it finally had Its effect on Naaman and at length he went to his king and fihknl fur a letter to the king of Israel In order that he might meet the prophet of Syria and receive treatment. When Naaman came to the king of Israel, the king was frightened and angry. He thought the king of Syria meant to use the Inability of the prophet to cure Naaman u an exetiHo for war." But the prophet Eli eus sent word to tho king of Israel to send Niinmnn to him. Nnnman went and was told to go wash in the river Jordan seven times. At first Naaman was indignant. Were not the rivers Abana and Phar phnr of Damascus as good If not hot ter than tho river .lordan? Why should this insignificant phophet wnd Mm I he great Naaman such word? Could he not at least come mill see him, But Nanman'a servants pre vailed upon him to at least try the bathing, and at length ho conceded to their wishes, nnd lo, Naaman was completely cured. No sooner hiul this miracle of ac tual grace come to Nnamnn than he iiaile it habitual by cooperating with it. He-decided-at once abandon the worship of idols and a religion which was so hollow and useless, and would henceforth cast his lot with those who believed in the true God. . Thus we have exemplified grace in ' its two forms; actual, - which prompted Naaman to seek help, and habitual which caused him to continue in the cooperation anil in God's true service. The oftener we coperate with actual grace, the strong er does habitual grace grow within us. There are religions which would teach that there are no such things. That sickness and all the other trials of lite are but figments of the mind and do not really exist. That there is no evil and a multitude of absurdit ies. But every one who has his right mind knows better. And if he has the grace of God he will see clearly that these very trials of life are intended by God for him to learn his way to eternal life. So if we wish 1 say with St. Paul. "By the grace of God I am what I ami" and "His grace in me has not been- void," we must coperate with actual grace until it becomes habit ual, and we shall learn, In spite of the sophisms of the world that God is eternal, that He alone Is to be desir ed, and that all that Is sent to us. if accepted at His hands, will become, as 8t. Augustine says, "A ladder whereby we may reach the s,kies."

Plato remarked tha't "it is experi ence that causes our life to move for ward by the knowledge we acquire, while want of experience subjects us to the effects of change." A little be fore That, about the year 430 B. C or two thousand years ago, Sophocles re marked that "theee is no- greater ill khan anarchy; it destroys cities, lays houses in ruins, and in the contest of the spear, breaks the ranks; but disci pline saves those who obey commana."j We have had some ten thousand years experience with anarchy, but we do not seem to have "moved our lives forward" In handling It,' The deporta tion of" droves of reds "may have a salutary effect on those left, behind, but it is more apt to make martyrs of them. And nothing is quite so costly to a government as martyrs. It might be worth-trying Ho eure some of the things that make unrest and before making any more loans to foreign government! to build-battle ships and organize .standing armies with, to devote some of these billions to the cure of conditions right here at home. -- .

They should be treated just as surface inflammations, such as burns or bruises, are treated that is, the medication should be applied directly - to the in flamed parts. But medication cannot be applied directly to the air passages and lungs except in the form of vapors that can be inhaled, and until the discovery of Vick's VapoRub, there was no efficient, economical method of supplying these vapors. VICK'S VapoRub is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist, L. Richardson, who found a way to combine the standard, time-tested reme diesMenthol, Camphor, Turpentine, Eucdyptua, Thyme, Juniper, etc. in salve form, so that when Vicks is applied to the body, these ingredients are vaporized by the body heat These vapors, in haled with each breath all night long, cany the medication direct to the affected parts. At the same time.Vicks is absorbed through and stimulate! the skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion. Spasmodic Croup and Children's Cold Vicks is particularly recommended to mothers with small children. It is externally applied and, therefore, can be used often and freely with'perfect safety. Let the children run out-doors, even in Winter, and get their needed fresh air and exercise, and simply apply alittte Vicks over the throat and chest at the first sign of a cold, covering with a hot flannel cloth. For spasmodic croup, rub Vicks freely over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is ' relieved. One application is commonly sufficient, and , an application at bed time usually prevents a night attack. Deep Cbett Coidt, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Coughi For inflammation oi the respiratory organs where there . is tightness or soreness, Vicks should be rubbed well over the throat and chest until the skin is red; then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. The bed clothing should.be arranged in the form of a funnel, so that the vapors-arising may be freely inhaled. - In scveru cases, hot, wet cloths should first be applied over the .throat and chest to open the pores of the slrn be fore applying Vicks. If the cough is annoying, small portions of Vicks, the aiie of a pea, can be swallowed every few hours. 7 )fe 1 1 , Head Cold, Asthma, Catarrh, Hay Fever For these troubles, Vicks can be melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled, or a little applied up the nostrils and snuffed back into the air passages.
