All understand that this water
trip is unusually safe on account
of the placid waters of the Pacific
and to most people is a healthy
undertaking. Mr.. Clemow gain
ed many pounds in weight from
the mines to Challis; although in
bad health on leaving he was

Water in the Murchison dist
rict is fairly good for use without
purification, but all in the Cool
gardie district for a great dis
tance is salt. 1t is obtained in
both parts by digging from 3 to
25 feet.
This description might excite
the hopes of some to leave their
homes and start for a region
where gold is found SO abundant
ly, but the advice of Mr.. G. we
are satisfied, after his long ex-
perience, would be: That it is
not advisable for persons to make
the venture if they have not got
sufficient means to support them
selves for at least one year.
Miners wages are 800 per week,
but there are thousands who are
unable to find employment.

view her on the subject and get the true facts.
Mrs. Mclaughlin said she had been afflicted
with rheumatism for about twenty years, and
was at times unable to rise from her chair. Her
suffering was intense, and she was sometimes
driven nearly wild with the agonizing pain. VI
late she had also been troubled with indigestion
and her health had become greatly undermined.
She was almost discouraged. being. uoable to
get relief either from the doctors or through the
numerous remedies which she tried. Mrs.
Mclaughlin had often read of the cures effected
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
but, after her many failures to obtain relief
dence that anything would help her. She con.
tinued to grow worse from day to day and had
given up all hope OF ever being restored to
health: One day Mrs; Mclaughlin SPOKE OF

been entirely used she noticed quite animprove-

HERE AND HEREAFTER.

If our words are to move men like
an electric battery, we must be satu-
rated with the love of the Lord Jesus.
--tR. S. Macarthur, d. ID.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit is
to be filled with power. 1t is to be
uplifted, relieved, vitalized, 50 that all
life and every word becomes an effec-
tuai ministry of the gospel. We all
know it. There is power in those
whom the Spirit possesses, and in them
onlv-not the power of rhetoric or
learning or brilliancy, but the spell
which binds souls. Nv. X. Nicoll.
We are in touch with the Invisible
every hour; in His hand our breath is,
and His are all our ways. We talk
with Him when we pray. This is the
holy secret of our prayer. We have but
to believe to see this secret not neces
sarily to understand it, only to know
that this is its mysterious quality,
its matchless splendor, in order to feel
the need and to recongize the worth OF
daily prayer. II Rollin A. Sawyer, ID.
ID.
Did it ever occur to you that il you
do not hear Gods answer to prayer il
may be not because He is dumb, but
because you are deaf: not because He
has no answer to give, but because
you have not been listening for it that
you might hear what that answer was!
We are SO busy with our service, SC
busy with our work, and sometimes
so busy with our praying, that it does
not occur to us to stop our own talk
ing and listen if God has some answer
to give to us, with Hthe still small
voice : to be passive, to be quiet; to
do nothing, say nothing, in some true
sense think nothing, simply to be re-
ceptive and waiting for the voice.
"Wait thou on God, says the Psalmist
and again wait thou on God. ~ Ly-
