MIR WRIGHT ANSWERED.

Had the dear brother who wrote in the last issue of THE BEE of ''The faith cure craze," been himself touched by the Blessed Master, in healing, he would not have condemned those who like trusting children came to this Great Physician, because they saw in His Word, "Is any sick among you, let him call for the elders of the church, ,and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, 5 but would rather have exclaimed with the "man who was blind from his birth, 3 "One thing know, that whereas I was blind, now 1 see.''
 There are too many precious witness es today, and their number is daily in creasing, who dare to believe God and have received according to their faith and are now joyfully praising Him, and serving with strong bodies after years of suffering, to doubt for a moment that Jesus Christ is ''the same yesterday to- day and forever" And they can but speak the things they do hear and know" We cannot be silent, for God bids HIS speak as his representatives.
 l have known personally many who have been healed of cancer and other fearful maladies, who will echo this. I must give little personal experience. A few years ago I was physical wreck Rheumatism heart disease and other troubles were fast wearing me into the grave. Earthly physicians had dcne all they could, sometimes staying with me through the night during a severe at tack with my heart. Once I asked one of them, "Am dying?' receiving the reply, ''While there is life there is hope" They at last pronounced the dread word ''incurable.''
 In my distress called upon the Lord, and He heard me. That night He came and touched me and since that time 1 have been hardly conscious of that organ, so perfect has been it's workings. All pain instantly left me, and from that day my health has been almost perfect And yet must be honest before God 1 cannot walk. I wanted this done at the same time, but God saw there was a work to be done in my soul, and bade me patiently wait. But I no more doubt He will finish the work so glori- ously begun than I do that He has said 'Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name will do it."-[Lizzie s. Turney.

Fears
Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin ; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
SANITY; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts Of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
