With his bill, taps our window and bcgs for our

| SAhBAIH MEMORIAL SEltNlCEs'
The day was exceptionally fine. The
largo audience room of the Baptist
church was completely filled, London
derry's beauty and chiyalry We're there.
The members of Hooker Post, in uni
form, bearing the stars and stripes; the
Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons
of Veterans, took their places IN n body,
Inside the chanccl was fine display of
flowers, tastefully arranged. The
choir, with Mrs. Dr., Wood at the on
gan, filled the church with their melody,
and quiet spirit of devotion pcrvaded
the atmosphere of the church. The
Pastor, Rev. o. p. Fuller, announced
rs his text:
"rhou therefore endure hardness, as 4 good
soldier of Jesus Christ" II Tim, II, 5.
The pastor prcfaccd his remarks by
saying that he was not there to recall
the bitter strife of the past, nor TO give
expression to patriotic feelings; nor,
yet to eulogize the soldier. These more
properly belonged to the orator of to-
morrow. His subject would be the
Christian soldier. The text had a mill
tary ring to it. There was great SINH
larity between the soldier of Jesus
Christ and he who battled Cor his coun-
try. Both are enlisted men; both fol-
lowed their leader; both are obcdient
to all the requirements of their leader;
both are required TO be vigilant-faith-
full sentinels of duty. There was Il
difference as to what they had to con-
tend with. While the union soldier
had only men to meet, the Christian
soldier had whoever and whatever OPP
posed his progress toward Heaven.
Beside, the Devil, he must meet and
conquer all things, including the gurril-
las that besct life in the form of insidi-
ous habits. These were more to be
dreaded than the open enemy, and to
overcome them, eternal vigilance was
the price. The Christian soldier has a
leader that never lost q battle, and the
school house and all the blessings of a
high civilization followed the army of
the Lord. The Christian soldier will
win victories for others and crown of
glory for himself, triumphing over all
his enemies. All are arrayed on one
side or the other. They either wear
the blue or the gray. He sounded the
battle cry, as a recruitny officers, and
appealed to all to muster under the
right leader, to wear the right badge
to fall in! The points in the address
were ably illustrated by argument and
story and was listcnedt to with wrapped
attention.

able measure of commercial freedom is

Col Morrison of Illinois says: "The
attitude OF the majority party in the house
this winter towards the tariff question
should be that which will best secure
such reduction that the tariff will yield all
the revenue we need and no more, with
out removing the internal revenue tax on
tobacco and liquors"
Roger Q. Mills of Texas says; "The
Democratic party ought and will push
the fight this winter for reduction of
the tariff. The people engaged in this
fight are enlisted for the war"
A. j. Warner of Ohio says: 81 think
the majority party should favor tariff
on all products in the production of which
there Is competition between this and
other countries sufficient to cover in cost
of production under which the produc-
ton is carried on. have been pleading
with the leaders of my party to assume a
more aggressive policy"
IL. II Hyatt of Indiana says: az saw
soon after the Inauguration OF President
Cleveland that his policy was going to
run in the same channel with the Repub-
ican policy. They are identical on the
finance, on the tariff and on the land
questions. Clevelaud's policy is IN OPP
position to any regulation OF railroad
freights, and in word is sim.
pie sub-lctting of Republication under
Democratic colors. With such policy
the great mass of people have become
disguised and thousands OF Democrats to
my knowledge have voted the Republican
ticket to manifest their dIsapprobation OF
his suicidal policy"
Martin B. Foran of Ohio believes in q
just, fair and reasonable revision and
modification of the tariff, keeping always
in view Incidental protection as we'll as

THE HOME in DANGER.
some Serious Evils thnt are mcn-
ncing the Most valuable
Institution iu the Land.

Fow people realize the value Of home
until they are deprived Of II. II is spot
upon which centres all the hes. thoughts,
best emotions, aud best lie Of tho land IL
is the inspiration for the father in the hard
est duties Of life; the hope Of the mother in
her many trials aud inhr1nities, and The one
spot in Which the child can be trained to
noble manhood or womanhood. But how
often it IL over-sladowed by dark cloud.
Too often is dwelling place Of misery
instead Of q home Of happiness.
Whom the father comes home weary and
careworn at night, exhausted in body,
aud nervous from the strain that bias been
brought upon him when he realizes his
sturdy manhood IS departing under the iniiu-
ence Of some mysterious trouble when he
feels day by day, that pain is coming upon
him. then the dark shadow rises to obscure
the sunlight from the home. Or again,
when tho mother feels a sense Of weakness,
mysterious bearing down, and growing in
frnlty which she cannot avoid when she
sees Der skin growing sallow and her youth
departing, II is the coming on of cloud
that may be inky in its bacltness. At such
times MS these the best friend to the home,
is that which will build up restore, aud
bring back wasted energy and life This
must not be accomplished however by using
unnatural stimulhnts or questionable drugs,
but by observing the laws Of nature, and as
sisting these laws to truly perform their mis-
sions. TO this most desirable end, nothing has
ever been found which can in any way equal
Yolina Cordial which is attracting so much
attention throughout the land, and is really
working n revolution in human strength and
happiness.
There are thousands OF men and women
in America to-day, who were in far more
pitiable condition than that above de-
scribed that have been rescued, rejuyenated
and II stored TO their families, so that they
are help rather than burden to the home.
We could instance numerous cases, which
would prove this assertion, among them n
very prominent one in Charleston sc. but it
Is not required, and we look for grand results
in the great increase Of health, strength aud
happiness from the people of this country
from the uso in the family Of Volina Cordial.
