: The SecoBtl: Temptation, f
The nearest approach to the
temptation of Christ by the devil
that the world has ever seen per
haps, is pictured in the diabolical
proposal of Satan's strongest
agent in' the jrorld, ; the liquor"
power to" Christ's servants, the
ministers of the gospel, in a letter
sent to all preachers throughout
the country a few days ago. It
takes these men of God up on the
mountan, as it were, "shows
them all the kingdoms of the
world, and asks them to join wit.h
the liquor power in taking and
holding these kingdoms for Satan
This letter sets forth the most
sacreligious and blasphemers
views of the attitude of God and
Christ toward this vile, damning
stuff that iscaosing such untold
misery'and woe on earth and that
is dragging so many millions of
souls to" an-eWnal hell. These
emissaries of the devil have the
bold effrontery to ask God's min
isters fo join with them in perpet
uating this awfnl curse on the
human race a "National Model
Restriction License." The pro
posal is too disgusting, too horri
ble to considet.for a moment.
There is one thing, however, it
hoped this preposterous offer
will accomplish, and that is to 6tt
he Ceri3tian people of our land
thinking. When the Saviour was
ed up into tne mountains his
Arch-enemy knew that he was
very weak from fasting. Is it not
very probable that this enemy of
souls, through his emissaries, sees
the week condition of the church
oday sees how so many of hat
ministers hesitate to tackle this
hydra-headed monster, liquor
sees how so many, many of her
members ally themselves with the
iquof power and fight for perpt-4
nation of this damnable traffic
see how her press stands almost
silent, utteriug scarcely a word
against this evil? Christians, it
it any wonder these emissaries of
Satan are bold? 0, that the
church might put off its lethargy
might purge its membership
and bestir itself to fight this great
est ot all evils 1 O that her mem-

Reputation Priceless
"Good name in man or woman is the immediate jewel
of tho soul." That is the proposition concerning repu
tation as applied to human beings. But inanimate
creation has reputation behind and it is either good
or.bad.
Gowan's Pneumonia Cure has been long enough before
the people to secure a rating in the world's agency for
reputation and- that rating is Al.
It has made good. It has proven all its claims. It has
never disappointed. It does all that is claimed for it,
and the-claim is that It CURES anything where inflam
mation is the seat of the-trouble. Pneumonia, Appen
dicitis, Croup, Colds, Coughs INFLAMMATION does
those things, and Gowan's puts it on the go. Being
external it is as safe ast is certain. ' Keep it in the
house. -

Since 1894 I have been afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea. About six
months ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water
with the most wonderful and satisfactory results. For three or four years
past I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to
church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension having lost almost
entirely the control of my Jhowela ; but now I am happy to state that, after
using about a half dozen bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, not
having used any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly
recommend your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea. ,
