It is .said of John Wesley that he
once said to Mistress Wesley: “Why
do you tell that child the same thing
over and over again?” “John We.s-
ley, because once telling is not
enough.” It is for tbi.= same reason
that you are told again and again
that chamberlain’s cough Remedy
cures colds and grip; that it coun
teracts any tendency of these dis
ease to result in pneumonia, and
that it is pleasant and safe to take.

good deeds are better than real es
state deeds—some ot the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a helping

it.” Most men appreciate a kind
word and encouragement more than
substantial help. There are persons
in tbis community who might trath-
fully say: “My good friendn cheer
