"They | afterwards found out how it happened, and repaired the engines, and no lives were lost." ~ Very true, but wait a moment. Because you never go to sea, do yon think the sudden destruction of a stops engine has no lesson teionl How shortsighted men are! Did you ever lie onyour bed at home, or on a cot m the hospital, helpless as a log? What ailed you? Some disease. What is disease 1 It is an accident to your yital machinery. What do the doctors > fry to do for you? To •'cure you. Yes, of course. Suppose we say repair i you ; it comes to the Bauie thin?, for we kept alive and going by^certain.organs or engines inside the body. When they are out of order and work cadly, we are ill; when they stop, we die. Do you see the force of the illustration ?

He should laugh, play, cry, kick, and take nrtwe of things. My mother was bothered about it, and fia w the doctor, who said it was owing to the sluggish state of my Uver.
