Tt Fit the Crime.


She ate some mixed pickles

And the very same day,

They occasioned much anguish inside her.

Who, then, can decide? Not we,
cert alsiy. We sre sure OF that. We
have already made SO many mis-
takes that pe t-aunUt trust our own
Judgment Experience has taught
us hat what We desired most was
v nat W. needed least. aud what we
avoided was the one thing necessary.
Such matters, then, must be left to
the Lord, and resignedly left to Him.
Ii is not = f. to demand anything of
Him on the ground that we know
what il good tor US better than He
does. Such an attitude is fruitful OF
harm and destroys the whole essence
and efficacy OF prayer. Your priyl-
i'ge Is TO express your wishes, which
1t II perfectly proper for Nou to do,
and then, With tue calm confidence
which a pure religion affords, to add
TO your petition. Not my will, bus
thine be done" Then, and then
only, you possess the true spirit of
prayer Then you are child in the
al ms of Father
Not the bending Of the knees ia
necessary, but the bending of the
heart.
God does not listen because you
assume a certain physical attitude
wren You address Him, but because
your soul calls upon Him. Position
il not hing, words are nOthing-soul
is everything.
A man can pray without opening
his lips, and it is possible to utter a
great many words and yet not make
Il prayer.
Ask tor all you think you need,
then cheerfully take whatever He
grants, even if it be a denial of your
request.
Il Col gave men all they ask for
the world would not be worth living
in and souls would not be worth
saving.
What the Lord sends "a a substi
tute Tor hat which you have prayed
for is the best thing YOU can have.
His knowledge is TO be trusted as
we'll as His love, and YOU are not the
best Judge of what is needful.
Thy will be done" is the only part
Of a prayer which renders it effective.

A Novel Idea.

1t is free, and deeply interests every
body who has aches or pains, or who Is
weak and sickly. Anyone can learn the
surest and quickest means to get strong
and we'll by accepting that splendid free
offer of the great specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, DR.. Greene,
of 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He
has established a system of letter CORES
pondence through which all sick and
suffering people can learn exactly what
ails them, and how to get we'll, without
expense and without leaving their homes
All they have to do is to write to the
Doctor, stating each symptom from which
they are suffering, and he will answer
their letter. explaining their case thorough
ly, telling just what the trouble is and
greatest care and attention to every
letter, and tells the cause of each symp-
tom SO plainly that patients understand
instantly just what ails them. And all
this costs nothing. 1t is splendid oppor-
tunity for those who cannot afford the
time or expense ito go to the city. DIR.
Greene makes a speciality of curing

PortI and Fraternity.

The Portland Fraternity is Il home in
has always maintained most loyal and
generous attitude, and the board of
directors take pleasure in reporting to
the public the future outlook of the
work. The association has purchased the
ST. John Smith property, corner of Spring
and Oak streets, now known as
g Fraternity House, There will be no
radical changes in the character of the
work, but it is hoped the dwelling house
plan will bring helpers associated with
the Fraternity into somewhat more vital
and friendly relations with those less
favored in worldly conditions and will
help to bring about the sense of inter-
dependence and need of one another
which should enlist amongst all classes.
ssTo offer the people of Portland and
vicinity, especially the young people, a
place of pleasant resort, where they may
be surrounded by wholesome and elevat-
ing influences, is still the Fraternity S
object and the House will be opened as
early in November. as possible, for
educational and social purposes. The
spacious parlors with an open wood fire
will be the gathering place of teachers
and pupils; the reading room will be
open every evening till $50 o'clock and
on Sunday afternoon. Details will be
announced later. The work is entirely
nom sectarian With the best of moral
teaching there is no intention of influence
ing the church interests of any denomi-
nation. Indeed the work is supplementary
to all other good work, but interferes
with none. In addition to church and
school there is a real need of a cheerful
home centre, for companionship and i'm
provement generally. The well-to-do have
their social, political and athletic associa-
lions, and many opportunities for delight
full recreation. The Fraternity's modest
home hopes to furnish amusement and
good cheer, together with the moro solid
class work for young people to whom
such happy influences are not easily
accessible. The directors bespeak the CO.
operation of all interested in such aims.
With twenty five years of useful life back
of it, they feel that in adapting the asso-
citation to new conditions and trying to
become part of progressive and onward
movement, there is a wide field for action
and they realize that to develope this
field the assistance Of both old friends
and new will be urgently required.

There is no medicine so often needed in
every home and so admirably adapted to
the purposes for which it is intended, as
Chamberain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member OF the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quoted. The
severe pain of burn or scaid promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before inflammation sets in, which in
sures cure in about one-th1rd OF the
time otherwise required. Cuts and bruis-
es should receive immediate treatment
before the parts become swollen, which
can only be done when Pain Balm is kept
at hand. A sore throat may be cured be-
fore it becomes serious. A troublesome
corn may be removed by applying it
twice day for week or two A lame
back may be cured and several days Of
valuable time saved or pain in side or
chest relieved without paying doctor S
bill. Procure a 30 cent bottle at once
