Show ESS Life A at Christmas Vision way to the Lord and complained how Death had led away part of his workers. And the Lord sent a great white angel unto the remainder and forbade them, through the angel, to hearken unto Death until they could serve Life no longer. For the Lord knew that the stern dominion of Life must be, for the sake of the men be hoped to complete. Cut only a few, a very few, of the children of men obeyed the angel Let Death but pass the tollers, and her beauty was so great they continued to desert their posts and follow after her. Then Life cried unto the Lord with a great voice: "Death seduces my servants!" And the Lord said: "Deal with Death as thou wilt." Therefore Life seized on Death and cut away her perfumed locks, and put on her a painted mask, most hideous to behold. And he sealed the Hps of Death, saying, "Be thou dumb, and be thou no longer known as a woman." With this he cast over Death's won derful form a black mantle, like a pall, and on it Life painted: "This Is the King of Terrors." Then he sent Death forth, and thereafter whenever she came near the workers they fled from her and cried aloud unto Life: "Matters not how hard thy tasks, oh dear Life, If thou wilt but save us from this frightful Death!" And Life said unto the Lord: "Have I not done well?" And he answered in exceeding sorrow: "Needs must thy work on Death stand. And this because of the weakness of men who were seduced by her beauty and who heeded not my angel's voice. Yet very differently had I planned for my people. For in the beginning I set the loveliness of Death plainly before them, that they might endure their tasks happily, knowing how sweet the end would be. But they have defeated my wisdom. On their own beads be it!" And Life went his way, satisfied. Thereafter, when a child or man became useless to him he cast it into the arms of Death, because its task was finished. And the soul of Death sang to the soul of the mortal given her, though her Hps were dumb, and she blessed it with an infinite blessing and bore it away. But the toilers mourned greatly that Death should have dominion over one of their number, and they turned the more desperately to Life, who smiled sternly and was content HE DID HIS BEST.

It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Defore I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was In very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was In danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "Hut I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast, although it kept me constantly ill, until I tried Postum.
