An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made
with each of three different kinds of baking powder—
cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum—and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of time.
The relative percental of the food digested is
shown as follows:

These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
-to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges-
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.
OUR WEEKLY SERMON
by Rev. J. F, Lawlis at the First Methodist Church, Sun*
day Night, March 16, 1913.
ACTS 20: 35
is more blessed to give than to^God;
-It
receive.” Our Lord opened Hi* miu-
ttilery on the Mount with an octave or
beantitudes. Eight times He lifted
Ills hand* in benediction above the
head* cf the chosen twelve and said
"blessed." The classes named are the
“poor In spirit,” “they that morurn,"
“the meek,” "they which hunger and
thirst after righteousness,” "the mer
cifui,” "the pure in heart,” “the peace
maker," they which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake.” And now a
ninth beautitude. It 1* the best of all.
•’Blessed are the givers, for it is more
blessed to give than to receive.”
Learn the beautitude of bentflcience.
You will not find this scripture in
any one of the four gospels. Paul
alone records It. It Is most likely one
of the unwritten sayins of the Master
It was embalmed in the memory and
often upon the lips of those who
heard Him speak it at fitting times.
How characteristic it was of the
Savior, who was God’s “unspeakable
gift.” and whose life and death of
eacrifice and service were the peer
less impersonation of supreme bem-
liclence to a lost world. Christ ex-
perienced and illustrated the ninth
beautitude. The Good Shepherd
counted It all Joy when God the Fath-
er Almighty permitted him to give
his life for the sheep.
But has receiving no beautitude?
I philanthropy; it is to commune with
it is to engage in the holiest ex-
uese of uplifting fthd transporting
worship; it is to revel in the luxury
and art of doing good.
We are to give that our expanding
souls, infilled with the breath of hea-
the charity
rowed tomb. And yet
it aii. "Who for the Joy that was set ]
before Him, endured the cross and;
despised the shame.
‘Give of your best to the Master,
Give of the strength of your youth
Throw your souls fresh, glowing
ardor,
Into the battle for truth.
Jesus has set the example^
Dauntless was He, young and brave.'
Give Him your loyal devotion,
Give Him the best that you have.
Give your best to the Master,
Naught else is worthy His love.
He gave Himself for your ransom,
Ga ve up His glory above.
Laid down His life without a murmur,
You from sin's ruin to save.
Give Him your heart's adoration
Give Him the best that you have.
Oil rr.y brethren, we are not our
| own. We have been bought with a
fearful price. And if we would be
like the buyer we must be givers.
Again we must give if we would be
God like. Some one said we ought to
change the refrain, “Holy, Holy Holy’’
to ‘ Helpful, Helpful, Helpful is the
Lord God Almighty,” and that is good
theology. God lives to bless the uni-
verse. God's glory Is His goodness.
His name is love. His chief charac-
teristic is moral excellency and this
is such that He could not remain un-
moved until He had exhausted
the resources of heaven to reconcile
man to himself. Amateur theologians
are wont to say that when man by a
wilful transgression sinned, he for-
feited ail his claim on God and God
could have retired from the scene
and 1st man suiter the consequences
of his sin. Only a very young preach-
er should be excused for preaching
such a doctrine. The moral excel-
lency of God's character Is such that
He could not retire from the scene
and leave man helpless and hopeless.
Speaking after the manner of men.
we look upon the six days of creation
as being very busy days. But if I may
be allowed to so speak of the Su-
preme One, God's cays of creation
were not His busiest days. His bus-
iest days have been since the fall of
man. He has organized all the forces
in heaven and earth and with one
concerted action directed by Jesus
Christ, He is endeavoring to draw

costs something to be good. It is as

Angels are givers. Year- ago par-
ents used to teach their children to
sing, "1 want to be an Angel and with
the Angels stand.” I am not sure
they knew what they were about.
Anelology was misty in their minds.
Suppose they had sad to their chil-
dren, Angels are givers. Now substi-
tute the word giver for Angel and
sing. M want to be an Angel and with
the Angels stand.” Angels indeed arc
givers and we could add all givers are j country, and the world

This was what Paul felt when he
said: “I a mdebtor to the Greek and
to the Barbarians, to the wise and to
the universe.” This is what our boys
and girls feel when they leave good
homes in a Christian civilization and
go across the sea to their brothers
and sisters in heathen slavery. They
realize that it is more blessed to give
than to receive. Salvation which
sums up^in

people had been trained to give the
tenth, this would have brought into
the treasury of the church fifty mil-
lion dollars. And what could we
have done with that? W’e could have

easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, than for a rich man
to enter into the Kingdom ofGod.

paid all our preachers comfortable | "They that will be rich fall into temp-
salaries, built all the churches and
parsonages; we could have enterprts-
ed in one year, splendidly equipped
ail our schools, endowed our beneva-
lem Institutions, and doubled our mis-
sionary forces at home and abroad.
But as it was by enormous pilling
and tugging we were able to secure
for all these purposes a little less
than thirteen million. And we spent
nearly all this on ourselves. Of the
amount raised comparatively few of
our members bore the blunt of the
burden, while a large per cent of the
members were allowed to go free. 1
believe the greatest work before the
church of today is to train the mem-
bership in systematic giving—that
they may know it is more blessed to
give than to receive. The Methodist
church has always placed supreme
emphasis upon spirituality. The man
who could pray the loudest and shout
the loudesv has been accorded a place
of honor. But we have passed into a
commercial age, the most tremend-
ous commercial age the world has
ever known, into an age of business
and the church man is called upon to
show his faith by ht* works. A man
may pray from the rivers to the ends
of the earth and shout till he shakes
the shingles and if he does not bear
his part of the burden he is discount-
ed and ought to be. Many of our peo-
ple have an aversion t.o hearing a ser-
mon on stewardship or giving, and
this has lead many a preacher to
strtiit thfr'lmportant subject. PReaBb-
ers who have had conviction and
back bone enough to venture on a
subject so vital to the health and dur-
ation of the church have been re-
quested to preach a feeling sermon
and not spoil the meeting with a mon-
ey talk: Sometimes they say, “just
preach the scriptures and say nothing
of money and your salary will be
looked after and this has kept many
a young preacher and old ones too
from preaching a gospel the church
Is very much in need of. Many of our
people who have not studied the word
of God on this subject will be sur-
prised to learn that tne bible Is fuller
on the subject of money than it is on

oftener than it does of regeneration
or the new birth. Not that God puts
more emphasis on money than on re-
generation, but because God saw that
man needed the emphasis here more
than there. These are the people
who insist on a revival as the one
cure for every ailment of the church.
I insist on a revival too, but I insist
on a revival of systematic giving.
This is the key that will unlock the
door to the fountain of grace. I in-
sist therefore, on a return to bible
methods. 1 insist on us meetiag our
obligations by adopting a plan of sys-
tematic giving. God's kingdom is not
bankrupt, and His servants were nev-
er intended to be beggars. My plea
is that we give because God has giv-
en. If we would do this the church of
God would be the most solvent insti-j
tution on earth. The throw in meth
od has all but made the church an in- f
stitution or organized pauperism ask-
By this method the church!
will never. be able to meet the de-;
tnands upon her. And these demands;
God’s world anti God's word are
twin revelatons,, and teach the same
doctrine. Nature is a transcript of
the divine character. Survey it and
see how the sun. the moon, and the
stars do not withhold but emit their
light and heat. The clouds empty
themselves of the showers, the rivers
pour themselves into the sea. The
tilled soil repays the husbandman and
fallen man alone produces the only
note of discord in all this swelling
tatlon and a snare, ana into many
foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drowned men in des'ruction and per-
dition” Give, for it is more blessed
to give than to receive. Grow in the
grace of giving, otherwise you must
shrivel under the curse of a ceaseless
receiving. The sea of Galilee is clear,
sweet, pure water. Its surface is
flecked with a fisher's fleet .which
draws life and joy from its wtcers.
The dead sea on the other hand is
salty and without life, its shores are
blasted and barren. But why the dif-
ference between these two historic
waters? The Dead sea receives but
never gives so It is little better
than a cess pool. Galilee is generous.
Galilee is but the expanding river Jor-
don pouring forth ai! its inflow that
its stream may sing a song of health
and happiness to the regions beyond.
Someone has said:
'There is a sea which day by day
Receives the rippling rills
And streams which trom the wells of
God
Or springs from the cedared hills;
But what it thus receives it gives
With glad unsparing hand,
And a stream more wide with a deep-
er tide,
Passes out to a lower land.
But does it lose by giving? Nay,
its shores and beauty see
The life and health and bounteous
wealth
Of the sea of Galilee.
