Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering
or fastened the breaking up of the constitution
than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, OF
sight, of hearing, the human voice, the mind
one or more or sometimes all, yield to its de
structive influence. The poison it distributes
throughout the system attacks every vital force,
and breas up the most robust of constitutions.
ignored, because but little understood, by most
physicians, impotently assailed by quacks and
charlatans, those snffering from it have little
hope to be relieved OF it this side of the grave.
1t is time, then, that the popular treatment of
shis terrible disease by remedies within the
reach of all passed into hands at once compe-
tent and trustworthy. The new and hitherto
unified method adopted by DR.. Sanford in the
preparation of his RADICAL CURE has won the
hearty approval of thousands. 1t is instanta-
neous in affordins relief in all head colds,
sneezing, snuf1iing and obstrueted breathing,
and rapidly removes the most oppressive symp-
toms, clearing the head, sweetening the breath,
restoring the senses of smell, taste and hearing,
and neutraliZing the constitutional tendency TO
the disease towards the lungs, liver and kidney.
SANFoRD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one bot
tie of the RADICAL CURE one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and IMPROVED INHALER; price, 81.

The Kingdom Near.

There are periods in the life of
every unconverted persons that may
be r, garded as crises. Light is am
pie; circumstances are propitions ;
tue acknowledgment of need is frank
ly made; friends with radiant faces
exclaim, ''He is near the kingdom -
voices celestial are waiting to rejoice
ov.r the final decision of a soul.
One thing now is only necessary
full, immediate surrender of all to
God. This done, and that soul
passes from mere intellectual dem
onstration to joyful heart-persua-
sion from sober ref ction to con-
viction SO deep that all the future
will be changed thereby. That one
step suJmission-is very short. The
kingd m of God is just at hand. At
such an eventful crisis the whole an-
gelic universe may well look down
with anxious expectancy, ready to
bear the glad tidings throughout the
rea ms of bliss.
1t is precisely thus in the subse-
quent Christian life. There are spec
ial times of re-awakenil g for all
God's people, pivotal points of mo-
mentous interest upon which higher
or lower religious character is made
to hinge. At these periods our de-
ficiencies and weaknesses, hitherto
disregarded, perhaps are fully dis
closed by the Holy Spirit. The pro-
cess is painful, hut is alt gether
necessary to entire restoration. The
most perfect knowledge of ourselves
leads to that unaffected contriteness
which is pleasing to God, and an in
creasing view of purity deepens our
desire to seek after it.
D how profoundly serious are these
moments of re-awakening One step
in either direction nearer to God or
fut Their away from Him-affects not
only the present, but also the life
beyond. Jesus is near. The Holy
Spirit waits, with infinite tenderness,
to perform his work of enlightenment
in that soul. The providential ar
rangements for that soul, as we must
believe, are made and are carried
forward with the design in view of
bringing in a new era of full sal
walton. The kingdom of perfect
love is near, is just at hand. Rejoice,
therefore. Lift up thy heart. Call
upon Him while he is near. Claim,
o soul, thy long-sought rest. With
frmness of purpose make this thy
song.

A Glance Backward.

How the world has changed during
the past century! In no sense is
this more strikingly apparent than
in the realm of morals and religion.
We will say nothing of America :;
she can testify for herself. Let us
see the effects of the gospel in for
eign lands. When missionary work
was just beginning in India, Henry
Martyr said: eff l ever see Hin
doc converted to Jesus Oh list, shall
see something more nearly APPROACH
ing the resurrection of the dead than
i have ever SEEN" To-day sees
100000 native Christians in that
same land.
1t was two hundred and thirty
four years after the landing of the
Mayfiower before the ports of Japan
were opened, even to commerce,
during which time to profess Chris
tlanity there would cost a man his
life. Now over $50 congregations
embracing $4,000 converts observe
the rite of Christian worship in the
Island empire.
Fifty years ago the French gov
ernor of the Isle of Bourbon told the
missionaries that they might as W., IL
attemp to make oxen Christians as
the Malagasy. Now there are a
thousand Christian churches in the
South seas, and Madagascar is a
Christian nation.
For three thousand years there
existed but three versions of the
Bible. To-day it may be read in
$50 of the 5000 tongues that are
spoken. There are to-day one hun
dred and fifty-fve million more Bibles
in human hands than at the opening of
the century.
Facts make astounding revelations.
The Church will take the world for
Christ. The coming century will
witness greater marvels than the
past.
