Marks of the Combat.

1t is prosperity that kills and trouble
that saves. While the Israelites We're
on the march, amid great privations
and hardships, they behaved we'll. After
awhile they prayed for meat. and the
Sly darkened with a great flock OF
quails, and these quails fell i'll large
multitudes all about them, and the Is
raelites ate and ate and stuffed them
selves until they died. Oh, my friends,
it is not hardship or trial or starvation
that Injuries the soul, but abundant sup
DIV. 1t is not the vulture Of trouble
that eats up the Christians life; it is
the quails, it is the quails! You will
yet find ous that your midnight wrestle
by the brook Jabbok is with an angel
of God, come down to bless and ave.
Learn again that while u wrestling
with trouble may be triumphant we
must expect that it will leave its mark
upon us. Jacob prevailed, but the angel
touched him, and his thigh bone sprang
from it's socket, and the good man Went
nmping on his way. We must carry
through this world the mark OF the
combat. What plowed those premature
wrinkles in your face? What whitened
your hair before it was time for frost:
What silenced forever so much OF the

You need not be surprised that those

Do not be out of patience with those
who com not out Of their dependency.
They may triumph over their loss, and
yet their gait shall tell you that they
have been trouble touched. Are We
stoics that we can, unmoved, see our
cradle rifed Of the bright eyes and the
sweet lips? Can we stand ulmoved and
see our gardens Of earthly delight up
rooted? Will Jesus, who wept himself,
be angry with US if we pour u tears

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dltion of the mucous lining of the
sGustacnian Tube. When this tube
gets inf1amed you have rumbling
eound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
