Sound
Doctrine
By REV. J. H. RALSTON, D. D.
Secretary of Correspondence Department,
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago
TEXT—But speak thou the things which
become sound doctrine.—Tlt.us 2;L
One of the M-producta of the world
war is the seriousness with respect to
many things that
" 1 heretofore were
treated very flip
/ ! , .;|i pantly. There has
i .. fyMm been a certain
Mi dilettantism In nl
f " most every sphere
of human activ
i Ity, hut now man
~ 3 ls driven by t^le
very necessity of
I>is be,n s and sur *
roundings, to cco
a like dilettant
ism? lias It not been a com
mon thing to have men say, “It
makes no difference what a man be
lieves so he acts right?” Such an ex
pression is common to the person who
has practically no religious profession,
but many in the churches of Jesus
Christ are saying, “Oh, we don’t care 1
One minister is as good as another.
We are under obligation to believe
one man as well as another.” Has not
that position been taken to such an
extent that the sense of discrimination
as to the minister’s message has be
come deadened or lost? A distin
guished American pastor said not long
ago that he was preaching in the
Highlands of Scotland and he found
himself attacked at the close of his ser
mon as to the squaring of his teaching
with the Bible and with the standards
of the Scottish church. Is it not a rare
thing to have a minister criticized be
cause he Is not sound or orthodox?
How a minister is dressed how he
speaks, what are his mannerisms? are
universal subjects of remark, but rare
ly is it asked, “Is he sound in doc
trine?” Many at once become incensed
If you suggest such a thing as un
soundness In doctrine, and today a
large proportion of these are professed
Christians and liberal supporters of
Christian work. It Is pleading for
tolerance to the suggestion that what
Is taght by the minister or teacher
should be sound that prompts what Is
said hereafter.
The text was written by the Apostle
Paul and In the short letter from
which it Is taken Paul speaks some
five times about this soundness. An
examination of the different verses
shows that the word translated sound
ns an adjective means primarily
healthful or health-giving. What we
note of the trend of Paul’s mind guid
ed by the Holy Spirit ns found la his
writings in the two epistles to Timothy
and the one from which this text Is
taken, leads to no confusion as to his
desire to purify Christian doctrine or
teaching. He warns us, too, of “Many
unruly and vain talkers and deceivers
whose months must be stopped, teach
ing things which they ought not.” Writ
ing about the same to Timothy he
spoke of the time when “Men will not
endure sound doctrine, but will heap
to themselves teachers having itching
ears, and they shall turn away their
ears from the truth and shall be
turned unto fables.” Doctrine Is sim
ply teaching of any kind. It may be
profound or superficial, right or wrong,
pleasing or disturbing.
Now, what is sound doctrine or
teaching? There must be some cri
terion or judgment. The suggestion of
the Apostle Paul la his initial way
gives one of these. This preaching
must be health-giving, and as to spir
itual doctrine, that would mean that It
must be health-giving spiritually.
In the first place, the teaching
should be simple, never causing a
doubt in the minds of the hearers as
to the Intent of the teacher. In his
first letter to the Corinthians Paul, re
ferring to the man who speaks for God,
gives warning that his speech must not
be like a trumpet that gives an uncer
tain sound. Far better is It that a man
Is at once recognized as speaking
against the truth than that he is so un
certain In his message that the needy
soul does not know whether there Is
anything In the speech for him or not.
The indeflniteness of much of the re
ligious teaching of today is a promi
nent characteristic of It. Jesus Christ
was never misunderstood as to man’s
belief and life. The message of
“Billy” Sunday, or Gypsy Smith, is not
misunderstood.
In the second place the message
should be sound in the sense that it is
in accordance with the accepted belief
of the Christian centuries. There
have been alterations from the truth
at practically every point, yet the ag
gregate of Christian belief Is trust
worthy and cannot be misunderstood.
The confusion of the present day is
universally acknowledged, but fifty
years ago this confusion did not exist
-—it was orthodoxy or heterodoxy.
The thirty-nine articles of the Church
of England, the Westminster Confes
sion and standards, the Lutheran Cate
chisms and the doctrinal statements of
many independent communions, are
thoroughly trustworthy, and if adhered
to, no uncertain sound is given.
The Godless philosophy of today, un
questionably finding Its hatching place
In the German universities and theo
logical schools, and the theology of
the flood of fiction and other more seri
ous literature that has swept over the
land, has fallen altogether Into ruin in
the light of the present war.
Red-blooded and thinking men are
driven to the necessity of conceding
that possibly Moses and David and
Isaiah and Ezekiel and Jesus and Paul
were right in their teachings, and they
are asking for those teachings. The
acceptance of the proposition that the
Bible is the Word of God, Infallible in
its records, and supreme in authority.
Is the need of the day and is the only
guaranty of the soundness of doctrine.
Trouble's Beginning.
Let ns not try to manage our little
troubles by ourselves, lest greater
ones spring out of them. Little trou
bles are like little seed, they are small
enough In themselves, but they are
capable of producing great and Im
portant results. The oak is the pro
puce of the acorp, the tangled brier
comes from a seed on which no thorn
Is to be seen; the Christian, who will
manage his little troubles by himself,
will soon find that he must manage
{much greater ones than he bargained
for at first

HAD THRIFT STAMP IN SIGHT
Boy Was by No Means Idling, Though
He Did Not Appear Indus
triously Engaged.
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
told the story at a dinner party as
an illustration of the old saying that
appearances are sometimes deceiving.
One afternoon a woman was walking
through a suburban village when she
noticed a small hoy leaning on a gate
in front of one of the residences. The
boy’s attitude did not betray any great
ambition.
“I am surprised to see you stand
ing here, my little man.” said the
woman kindly. “Why do you idle
away your time on such a beautiful
afternoon?”
“I am not idling,” defensively de
clared the boy. “I am working for
a Thrift stamp.”
“Working for a Thrift stamp?”
wonderingly responded the woman,
who couldn't see any signs of labor.
“Yes, ma’am,” returned the boy.
“Mr. Smith is sitting on the veranda
with sister, and he told me that he
would give me the price of a stamp if
I would watch for father.” —Philadel-

Get New Kidneys!
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when
they fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of apnetite; indiges
tion: irritation, or even stone in the blad
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright’s disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and
save vourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original Haarlem Oil vour
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
if it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.

British Visitor Has Sworn Off
Mint Juleps.
,
According to His Story He Had an !
Idea It Was a "Soft Drink,” and
His Disillusionment Was
Complete.
Lieut. Hector MacQuarrle, whose
book, “Over Here,” was recently pub
lished, had an experience with nn
American beverage that surprised him.
While waiting for a midnight train a
a Philadelphia hotel on a hot night, I
became thirsty and sought the cafe,
where he told the waiter to bring him
a large iced drink and suggested or
angeade. The waiter mentioned mint
julep. “The drink was unfamiliar,”
says the lieutenant, “but It sounded
good and American people make the
most wonderful soft drinks in the
world. The very word ‘mint’ suggest
ed coolness, and the fragrant smell of
1 the upper river at Cambridge on a
summer’s day came back to ray mind
1 ns I sat behind a large column in the
; cafe. Hence, I said: ‘Eight OI Bring
me a mint julep.’ He did, curse him 1
1 With a large chicken sandwich, it ar
' rived. The glass was all frosted,
filled with mushy ice, while a dainty
little bunch of green mint, with its
stems piercing the ice, floated on the
top. I was more thirsty than hungry,
and I was very hungry.
“t“drank~the Julep at once. It was
delicious. For a soft drink the effect
was decidedly interesting. My first
sensation was a nice singing, advanc
ing sound in my head. I felt myself
to be drifting along a smooth stream
with overhanging willows and masses
’ of mint growing on the banks. I felt
1 that delightful sensation that one feels
1 when a tooth has been removed with
1 the aid of gas and one is just return
ing to consciousness.
“This pleasing feeling continued for
a little while and then I could see the
1 paneled walls of the room, and I heard
1 what seemed a still, small voice talk
ing in extremely bad French to the
waiter who answered in what must
have been good French. The voice
' using the bad French was very famil
iar and then I realized that it was my
own. I promptly switched to Eng
lish, but the voice was still far dis
tant. Finally, full consciousness re
returned, also a realization of the situ
ation. Then the voice in the distance
said: ‘Walter, your d mint julep
has gone to my head and I must catch
a train in exactly half an hour.’ The
waiter’s voice expressed sorrow and
suggested much water and mote sand
wiches. I drank water and I ate sand
wiches, and the vision of Mr. Pick
wick in the wheelbarrow came upon
me with full force. I was thankful
that in spite of all I could see my
watch, but if the waiter had not been
firm I should have missed my train.
The water and the sandwiches were
successful. . A faint knowledge of
Christian Science picked up from my
chief In New York helped me, and
in a perfectly stately manner I walked
out of the hotel and along the road
and caught my train.
“I would advise all foreigners ar
riving in America,” Lieutenant Mac-
Quarrie concludes, “to avoid mint Ju
leps. It was extremely pleasant, al
most delightful, but a mint Julep taken
several hours after a meal when one
drinks but little at any time, is ex
tremely potent. I have been told
since that Just after a meal a mint
Julep is comparatively harmless, and
that it Is not a soft drink. Frank
ly, I will never touch one again as
long as I live. There are too many
possibilities in its icy depths.”
Something to Worry About.
As if we haven’t already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living I And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the Innermost re
cesses of his pocketbook day before
pay, are Intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They—some of
them—believe the sun is going to ex
plode. One of them, writing in Pop
ular Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre
dicts its finish as the leading figure
in our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 03,000,000 miles
from each side, thus giving its hot
center 186,000,000 miles less of room.
So you see the sun’s center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the
three-room apartment couple when vis
iting relatives begin their summer va
cation drives. —Syracuse Journal.

Removing a Broken Caster.
A broken caster may be withdrawn

of the washer is supported by a block
of wood, or leather, while a claw ham
mer, or “jimmy,” is used to pry out the

permitted to sit In the assembly, but
with flie increase In population It was
found necessary to limit the number,
although there was still no legal re
striction on the number of delegates

They tell us,” said Mr. Bllnksome, ]
“that we nil have a tiger In us, that we
are all of us savages under our skin; i
kept from revealing our true natures
only by the restraining force of cus
tom and the law, J
“In a general way I have always be
lieved this to be true, and yet I have
always supposed there must be ex
ceptions. You take, for Instance, a
certain mild-mannered neighbor of
ours whom we have known for many
years, u man in all circumstances kind,
gentle, forbearing; seeing good in
everyone and willing to make excuses
for everybody. There was one person
who I knew had no tiger.
“Our mild-mannered neighbor drop
ped in to see us yesterday, Just after
I had read something in the paper,
and I picked the paper up again and
read this thing to him. It was an
account of something that the Ger
mans had just done.
“It was a circumstantial, careful, ex
act and apparently truthful statement,
and yet the thing described was some
thing so contrary to all civilized
usages that it seemed incredible, and I
said to him:
“ ‘You don’t believe that, do you?’
“At that our mild-mannered neigh
bor fired up. Fired up? He flamed
up.
“ ‘Believe it?’ he said. T believe
every word of it,’ and then he pro
ceeded to tell me what he would do
to the Germans if he could.
“Had he a tiger in him? Well!
“So now I am Inclined to think that
we all have a tiger in us, that there
is no exception; only with some of
us it takes one thing and with some
another thing to make the tiger

Why Torpedoed Ships Sink.
The committee appointed by the
Council of the Institution of Naval Ar
chitecture to inquire into the effects of
explosions of mines and torpedoes
upon the structure of merchant ships
find that there are three principal
causes of loss. First, the existence of
a forward reserve bunker partitioned
off from the cargo hold by a non-wa
tertight bulkhead. A second cause of
loss is the failure to close the water
tight door in the engine room bulk
head leading to the shaft tunnel. A
third danger lies in the main drain
pipes, leading from the bilge pumps to
the different compartments, and pass
ing through all watertight bulkheads,
which are generally fractured in tor
pedoed compartments. There should
be non-return valves on the end of
these pipes. The committee recom
mends that bulkheads should be pro
tected as far as possible from flying
splinters, at least temporarily, by using
timber or other suitable material as a
splinter-screen. —Scientific American.

Woman Champion Maker of Flies.
The title of world’s champion arti
ficial fly maker is proudly claimed for
Miss Alice Sherwiu Coleman of New
York, who for more than a decade has
been making flies for anglers. Some
idea of her reputation among the dis
ciples of Izaak Walton may be gath
ered from the fact that she and her
assistants make $400,000 worth of flies
for fishing enthusiasts every' year.
Miss Coleman makes 300 different
varieties of flies regularly summer
and winter, special orders bringing the
number up to 1,500 varieties altogether;
for such is Miss Coleman’s reputation
that exacting fishermen in the wilds
of America sometimes catch strange
flies that hover over particular streams
and send them alive in a ventilated
bottle so that she may study and re
produce them accurately.

Don’t Be Afraid •
of Your Meals
Take “Eatonic” and Laugh At
Stomach Troubles
H. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered a sure,
safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach’s sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest it in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured if you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment It enters the stom
ach. It immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en
ables the food to pass from the stom
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con
dition, and thus prevents the forma
tion of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause a bloated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your
FOOD REPEAT.
EATONIC enables you to eat your

“No. Animals have no souls.”

Where in Western Canada you can buy at from
sls to S3O per acre good farm land that will raise
■MHHW 20 to 45 bushels to the acre of $2 wheat its
easy to figure the profits. Many Western Canadian
farmers (scores of them from the U. S.) have paid for their land from a
single crop. Such an opportunity for 100% profit on labor and investment
is worth investigation.
Canada extends to you a hearty invitation to settle on her

Courage Is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring Is the best time to
take stock of one’s condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
50 years ago Is still safe and sane be
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot
ic. It Is made up of Blood root. Gold
en Seal root, Oregon Grape root.
Queen’s root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark —extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by Dr. Pierce
In ready-to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as Dr.

druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for a vial to Dr.

Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What Is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for a while, such as
Anuric (double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. It was first
discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
trial package by sending ten cents to

In-every home ready for use after ev

aid you naturally to easily digest

Japanese Women Red Cross Workers,
“Few Americans realize how much
Japan has done during this war for
the Red Cross,” says the foreign press
bureau of the woman’s committee of
the council of defense. “Her Red
Cross membership far exceeded ours
in the early days of the war; and sho
maintained hospitals In England,
France and Russia for a whole year,
just as we did. Like our own, these
hospitals had to be given up for a
time for lack of funds. After this, how
ever, Japan subscribed and sent a mil
lion dollars to the wounded of the
allies, to be divided pro rata among
them.”
