And when the snmmons shall come for you to cross the valley of the shadow of death, may the way be light and may you enter and dwell forever In that Heavenly country where sorrow and heartaches are un known but where joy and peace relsrns forever more.

The earth Is full of sin and harm, -Bide with me. ....... A Jewel In you Saviors crown." " The soul of little Mary Neal. Infant child of Rev. and Mrs. F. M. Sham burger went to Heaven July 8th,1906. Just one year old. In that short .year,- the precious babe brightened the home of our beloved pastor and made glad the hearts about her. By her bright smile and cunning ways she endeared herself to us all, We loved the child and when sickness came, we hoped she would be restor ed to health, but a wise father took her. "His will be done." "Alone unto' our Father's will, . Our thought hath reconciled, That He who love exceedeth ours; Hath taken home His child." "Fold her, Oh! Father. In thine arms And let her hence forth be, A messenger of love between Our human hearts and Thee." Our Sunday School Is in deepest sympathy with the sorrowing family therefore be It resolved: 1st. That we bow in submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. 2nd. That we - sympathize with bereaved family and pray that God will comfort them in their sorrow. 3rd.

Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patnt medicines 'con taining itij-urious ingredients as "broadly published in some journals of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly been of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject, It has. in a considerable measure, resulted in the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus pected of containing the injurioip ingre dients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ao. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., "took time by the forelock," as It were, and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi cines are composed. Thus he has com pletely forestalled all harping critics and all optosition .that might otherwise bo urged against his medicines, because they are now of known composition. Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these' medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain auy narcotics or injurious agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants foand growing in the' depths of our American forests and of well recoHuized curative virtues.'". Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly objuc tionable from its tendency to produce a craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em ploys chemically pure, triple - refiniid glycerine, which of itself is a valuable remedy in many cases of chronic diseases, being a superior demulcent, antiseptic, antiferment and supporting nutritive. It enhances the curative action of the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery," in all bron chial, throat and lung affections attended with severe coughs. As will be seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer son Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of Cincinnati ; Ellingwood, of Chicago ; Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand as leaders in their several schools of practice, the foregoing agents are the very best ingredients that Dr. Pierce could have chosen to make up his fa mous " Discovery " for the cure of not only bronchial, throat and lung affec tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all its various forms wherever located.
