No one doubts that DIR. sage's Catarrh
Remedy really cures Catarrh, whether
the disease be recent or of long standing.
because the makers of it clinch their
faith in it with $500 guarantee, which
isn'ta mere newspaper guarantee, but
is one that is 'ion call lin arnoment.
That moment Is when you prove that
its makers can't cure you. The reason
for their faith is this: DIR. Sage'e
remedy has proved itself the right cure
for ninety-ninc out of one hundred cases
of eatarrh in the head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association can af-
ford to take the risk of you being the
one hundredth.
The only question is-are you willing
to make the test, if the makers are will
ing to take the risk? If so, the rest il
easy. You pay your druggist so cent.
and the trial begins. If you're wanting
the $500 you'll get something better--c

with Superintendent Mitch.
ell demonstrates that everything IS
progressing rapidly toward the compile
ton of one of the best exhibit ever held
in the state. Mr.. Mitchell says that he
intends dividing the floor of the floral
into rs many spaces as there are florists
who wish to exhibit, and let them draw
for their choice of plat on which TO place
their flowers. From indications at
present there will be more county ex-
hibits than ever before. Mr.. Morgan is
kept constantly busy with collecting
grain, grass, wool, ETC., and Mr.. Sargent
has been placed in charge OF the horti-
cultural collection. It was found that
the west gallery was too warm, so that
the horticultural display will be trans
ferred to the eastern gallery where the
green fruits will keep better. This will
throw allthe carriage and similar ex-
| hibits on the west side. The building
| Will be thrown open probably about the
25th of August il all arrangements can
be made that visitors and strangers pas:
sing through the city car view the fine
horticultural exhibit.
One of the finest exhibits will be the
wool. There are already something
like 100 heeces on hand, OF which w. FL.
| Wythycomb of Hilisboro sends ten
AIarino and ten Cotswold. d. g. Stew
art sends seventeen fleeces, Ladd & Go.
ten, Mr.. Chas. E. Ladd sends in three
fleeces, one buck weighing twenty-five
and 'one-half pounds, and two ewes each
weighing eighteen and one-half pounds.
Mr.. r. Scott, of Milwaukee and others
expect to send in fleeces. One Of the
most encouraging features of this wool
exhibit ii the fact that it is all full
blood. The feeces, or rather pelts, fur
nished by G. E.,Ladd will be thoroughly
washed, combed and mounted.
The exposition officials will act on Q
suggestion that the produce shown here
will be carefully preserved and forward
ed to the worlds fair, at Chicago. I'm
der these circumstances it behoovei
every farmer to exert himself and sene
something to the exposition.

Confirmation at Trinity Church.

Bishop Williams visited Trinity parish, Thursday, May l2 and administered the rite of confirmation to nine persons, two in private. In spite of the unfavorable weather, a large congregation was pres ent at the service at o'clock. Rev O. O. Wright assisted in the service and the bishop preached from l Corinthians, TX, 26, II therefore so run, not as un- certainly; so fight not as one that beateth the air." The sermon was in the bishops usual clear and torcible style and was descriptive of the Christ ian life in the light of St. Paul's favorite figures of the race and the battle. Sue steadfastness and reality. The dangers from other methods were pointed out. Some begin with much enthusiasm, but do not hold out for long. Their first ef- forts are the result of much feeling and deep emotions, but it does not last. Christians of this kind are always start ing, but not progressing; ever begin ming, but never advancing. This is not a healthy condition, but rather like a fever fit one day and chill the next. Others, again, are continually paying more attention to the manner of their running than to the work directly before them. This endangers them. Others, still, enter in the race, but they reject or ignore the rules and conditions by which they are expected to be governed. This comes out among Christian people in the rejection of the ordinances of religion like baptism, confirmation and Holy Communion. These, in Holy Scripture, are made equally binding with the moral law, so that no man has any right to ignore or reject one any more than an- other. These positive ordinances are Gods way of providing for our spiritual welfare, just as the laws of health govern our physical well being. But the Christian life is also battle and a very real one. It is not against unreal foes. There is something very real in the powers of the world, the flesh and the devil. And there must be no unreality in our cOntending against them. It is
 
 our own duties to do and our own temp ations to resist. These ideas of the Christian life as race and battle are wonderfully exemplified in the life of the apostle St. Paul himself. When he wrote the text, he stood midway in his apostolic course. He looked back through all his wonderful experience since he was stricken to the earth on that memorable journey to Damascus and he looked forward to d continuance of similar contests. His life had thus far been race and d fight-he had been steadfast in his running and real in his fighting. Some years later, he lies in his dungeon cell and, when about to be led forth to meet his death, he writes his last letter to St. Timothy, in which he says, as he looks back upon his clos ing career, II have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, have kept the faith" Here againis the experience to the Christian life, both as a race and battle and here, in his case, it at length is the race well run and the fight fought out. But, over and above all this, as that which was the source of q Il his strength and the ground of all his success, comes the climax of his utter auce s.I have keDt the faithF
