WORK BEFORE BREAK FAST

1i’ you were to ask a farmer what he thought about work before breakfast, he would laugh and tall Wu that he had n half day's work 6011c before breakfast.

vvever, to the average city man it is really a question. At [If-ii- tflry camp, the commanding officer wished to know why so many men (Doubt-ill)! ten percent) dropped out 0i the work or drill parade before ‘breakfast. ileuggest that he try the expel-lim- entof a piece. of bread and some thin coffee to each man immediately 11l>0n coming on parade in the llitlrilging. That could be about 6 A. ‘M. The men then worked uni-ll 7.30 A.-M. and got ready for break- fast iit 8 A.M. It worked like a charm. not a single man fainlc-il or dropped out 01 iiuriide.

Why? Well. the stomach and all the digestive apparatus have a 800d long rest throughout the night and are ready ionbusiness lll the morning. Further the fuel supply food-which supplies energy needs lenlshing. Your body heat is lower by from one to two degrees iin the morning than it is later in the day. Your body is not warmed to its work as it were. Then willi- out any fuel whatever you try to Wtliiik. Fafntness ensucs in a grout many cases.

Most men can take a- few minutes exercise in the morning before breakfast; that is a good time to itake it, but very few can do any “rolonged work before breakfast. There are exceptions of course.

Athletes in training, bicyclists. fighters, wrestlers and so forth almost invariably take a little bread and ivziter, or perhaps milk before they do their curly morning road work. The expression “ii stays the stomach" is an absolute fact.

"No brawiletrs" putting ‘not qullrr some over wone’ in the margin. Leviticus X 9 has notliinll to do with the subject in haiul. ii wzi an injunction 0h the Leviites only, and it rested on them only when they were functioning in the tent of meeting; or as Ezekel says ‘ln the inner court." The text reads ‘Drink no wine nor strong drink. thou nor thy eons with thee, when‘ ye go iluto the tent of meeting.‘ The Lord's Supper was not institut- ed in the ‘inner court‘ and Jesus never functioned as a Lrevlte. But cannot the moet hasty reader see that if this text apples to our Christian Communion. we have no nigh-t to use any wine! Tile text expressly forbids ‘wine and strong drink’. If Proli-lbitlonist is a com- municant ‘he _i.s bound by this text to ioueh the wine from him and to take the bread only. I‘ The reasoning of Prohiblilonfst on the wihtrof Cane in Galilee is most tortuous. He admits iin his letter of the 18th that it was the good wine that made people drunk at banquets-‘too drunk‘ he says ‘to know the difference’ between the good fermented wine and the ‘poor stuff’. This is what the ‘ruler’ expected to find, mark yon, even at a Jewish marriage. Hence his surpiilae.
