The Garments of Praise.
Short Arrows.

Short Arrows.
Happy are those whose names sug-
gest gladness and brightness, whose
presence acts as sunshine wherever
they may move. Even those who
are not joyful by nature may become
thankful and bright by grace, and
recommend religion by putting away
murmurings, complaints and irrita-
bility. The Bible urges us. Forget
not all his benefits. If we think
about our mercies, our reservations,
our deliverances, and more about the
hope that is set before us, depression
will be cured and the spirit of heavi-
ness will be replaced by the garments
of praise.

That is what many man feels like saying
when he sees some member of his family re.
stored to health after long and wasting
illness. In many households there are per.
sons who seem to be fading out of life slow

lack of vital force. The blood seems to be
blood only in color. There is often a dry,
hand cough. Night brings no refreshing
sleep. The cheek grows thin and pale.

A Weather Forecast.

st. Louis, Nov. 26.-Rev. Irl r.
Hicks makes the following meteoro-
logical forecasts for December in the
Word and Works:
"The Venus disturbance is central
on Dec. 4 and will intensity the
storms of the first December period,
which, under normal condition,
would be from about the I'd to the
18th. The presence of extra disturb
ing causes, however, call for a con-
tinuance of perturbed weather over
the reactionary days, the Sth and 9th.
Extremes of temperature in rapid,
phenomenal succession, is marked
characteristic of the Venus distur-
bance-hence thestorm periods during
its dominance are almost sure to begin
abnOrmaly warm and eliminate in
sudden and extreme cold.
'The second storm period for De-
cember begins about the 18th and
runs to the 18th. Count on some
full~groWn winter storms about the
18th to 18th. There will be rain and
much snow, followed promptly by
extremely cold days. The reaction
airy movements about the 10 and Goth
will most likely be merged into the
general sOlstitial disturbances, with a
decided tendency to a higher tenn
perature about those days.
"A Vulcan disturbance is central
on Christmas day, A higher tenn
perature than the days immediately
preceding is apt to be on its way
from the west to the east, attended
by storms Of rain and snow. Many
parts of the country will be covered
with snow, and have cold, frosty
weather during the holidays. There
is a Mecural disturbance on the last
day of December, which is also a day
of reactionary storms at this time OF
year. The prospects are good that
nature will put up her winter festOons
in exchanging December for January
and that we shall slip from the one
into the other on a sea of ice.,n

The first symptoms of Group is hoarseness.
