GREATER BLESSINGS.

By Mrs. D. A. Fitch

THE world should waken to the fact that some steps must be taken to increase physical powers and prolong life. The whole human family has plunged deeper and deeper into sin, until so thoroughly benumbed by such abuses they do not realize that there is within the grasp a better earthly life, and eternal possibilities not beyond the reach. Degraded and paralyzed as we have become, there is yet provided for us glorious things if we will but ask for them. Heaven is full of blessings for each of us if we will but reach up and take them.

There are earthly blessings to be had as cheaply. The Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., publishes a large number of bulletins containing information needed by farmers, housekeepers, cooks, and all are free for the asking. Who would be so foolish as to refuse to ask, fearing he might bankrupt the government?

Just so our heavenly Dispenser of blessings stands ready to give many things that will help His children. And we need not fear that He is not able to grant all we ask. As in the case of the Department of Agriculture, He will not compel acceptance, yet He is true to His word. No one need fear a failure of the promised supplies, for giving does not impoverish, nor withholding enrich, Heaven's supply house.
