What a beautiful bridge between
old age and childhood is religion.
How intutively the child begins
with prayer and worship on entering
life, and how intutively, on quitting
life, the old man turns back to pray
er and worship, putting himself
again side by side with the infant,''
remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, in
his "Strange Story"
ayes, but between it's distant
abutments the bridge of life has
many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash
and roar in wrath and desolation.
Prayer and worship alone do not
sustain these. Natures solid rocks
must lie mistaken beneath, and HUI
man art and skill must rear and
solidify the structure overhead
Gods Will is best exemplifed in the
laws He has made for the creatures
whom He has placed under their
control. Neither the child's trust
full 'Our Father" nor the old mans
''Forget me not in the midst of mine
infirmities," will alter this by the
weight Of a single grain.
Science and art first-then faith
and prayer-is the order Of Heaven
itself. Divinity heals through it's
agents, and those agents are the
discoveries of man not the vague
announcements of prophets or seers.
Is life burden to you? Does time
drag? Is your power to cope with
life's problem and duties Weakened
You are not we'll. Your blood is
sluggish and tainted, perhaps; OF
some important organ is torpid or
overworked. This fact may have
taken the form Of dyspepsia, rhen-
matism, govt, malaria, pains in the
stoAmch, chronic headache, or any
of a dozen other ills. Pmker's
Tonic will invigorate you, as fresh
air invigorates those who have been
shut up in damp, fetid cells. 1t is
powerful, pure, delicious. scientific,

arch Of the bridge of life.

terday by the Republicans, it was
freely admitted by Kellogg and
others that there was no chance

thing that could be done would be
to capture some more seats in the

OPENING THE FoUNTAINs.-In
numberless bulbs beneath the skin
is secreted the liquid substance
which gives the hair it's texture,
color and gloss. When this secre-
ton stops, the hair begins at once
to become dry, lustreless, brittle
and gray. Is that the condition Of
your hair? If SO, apply Parker's
Hair Balsam at once. 1t will re-
store the color, gloss and life by
