The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column.

WE have to-day to meet our readers with

merry Christmas" Once more the day is
at hand on which all C~hristendom com

nation. Most appropriately is it every

crowning festival of the year. Young and
old alike look forward to the Christmas

Christmas Will prove to be so to all our
readers, and particularly so to all the young
folks of these Islands, in whom we are to

Whilst our social observance of Christmas
Day is appropriately one of pure rejoicing,
it is nevertheless impossible to forget the
deep lessons of Divine Love that are taught
us by the event which we thus celebrate.
Though we give up such n day as this to
merriment and festivity, life is, for all of
us who have fully entered upon it, full of
care and anxiety full of error and the veXa-
ton of spirit which is errors reward; full Of
thought fur the morrow and of trouble for
the day. The balm for all these carking
things comes to us through hat 'Sun of
Righteousness" which arose "with healing
