On behalf OF the Womans Christian

OF its press depart ment desire to express
cordial appreciate ion Of your valuable ser
vice in advancing the cause OF total alb

express our deep regret that number OF

certain preparations for making root
beer.
The pledge of the Woman's Christian
temperance union is against the use OF
and traffic in "all distilled, |ermented and
malt liquors" The chemist has taught
Us hat the fermentation OF sugar, yeast
and water produces alcohol.
In the manufacture OF root beer there is
the fermentation OF these substances,
favored with the herb extracts; there
must, therefore, be alcohol in it, varying
in quantity according to the length of
time it stands before using. Analyses of
the drink by unprejudiced and we'll
qualified and equipped analysts, have
shown that the proportion is often larger
than in malt beers, which no religious or
literary periodical would in these days Of
temperance enlightenment think of ad-

insidious foe OF temperance, kindling

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Topic for the Week Beginning June
3O-Comment by Rev. 5. II. Doyle.
TopIc.-Faith IN God; what 1t Is; what 10
does.-Heb. XII, II, $40; XII, /,
In the close of the preceding chapter
Paul's great watchword, The just
shall live by faith" has. been quoted,
and to prove that faith is the true prin-
ciple of life long and brilliant array
Of holy men and women Of old are cited,
and their wonderful achievements by
faith are recalled.
The writer, however, introduces this
array of witnesses by defining faith, or
more particularly by giving descrip-
ton of faith, for, while virtually def
milton, yet these words are not i'll the
strict logical form of one. The faith re-
ferred to is not saving faith in Christ.
but is general belief or faith in God
Two statements are made here de-
scriptive of faith. First, it is the sub
stance or assurance of things hoped for.
1t makes the things hoped for in the fu-
ture real to US in the present 1t IS a lay
ing hold of the future in the midst OF
the present, of the eternal in the midst
Of time Second, faith is said to be the
evidence or the test of things not seen
In the physical world we believe because
we see; in the spiritual world we see be-
cause we believe The Bible has well
been called the eyeglaSs of faith, for 1t
is through it that faith sees, and faith
itself is the eye by which we pierce the
veil of the future and are convinced of
the realities of the things that do not
yet appear. Such faith, one that makes
the future as real as the present, though
in a different way, is one of the best
lifts that God can give to US. When we
Nwhat it does, we will believe this to
/true.
Faith in God explains the origin Of
CHS present world (verse 81 Human the
Iories concerning the origin Of the uni
verse are mere conJectures, eternal ex-
istence of matter, the making Of what
is seen by what now appears Will not
satisfy human reason But faith tells Us
that an all wise. all powerful, self ex
istent, eternal God has made the UNI
verse by simple edlct Of His will
"By faith we understand that the worlds
have been framed by the word Of God. =
Thus faith relieves US Of the greatest
mysteries in the universe.
Faith in God furnishes Us with the
true principle Of life (verses Al, 32-4o)-
What was the ruling, acting, living
principle of this long list Of ancient
worthless who 'subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness, etc: 1t was
faith By faith all these things We're
done. Faith is still the only true prin-
ciple Of life.
Faith unites Us to Jesus Christ This
is saving faith xii, /, p. Christ is the
author and perfector of our faith, and
by beginning and completing faith in US
Christ unites US forever to Himself.
Have we such faith in God:

A PRAYER.

pray the prayer of Plato old.
God make thee beautiful within,
And let thine eyes the good behold
In everything save sin!
Imagination held in check
To serve, not rule, thy poised mind.
Thy reason, at the frown or beck
OF conscience, loose or bind.
No dreamer thou, but real all,
Strong manhood browning vigorou:
youth.
Life made by duty epical
And rhythmic with the truth.

Our Creed.

Our creed is not what we have thought,
but what our Lord has told US. The
true creed must come down from above
and not out from within. Make your
creed simply and broadly from out of
the revelation of God, and you may keep
it to the end.-Phillips Brooks.

FORT DOUGLAS NOTES.

Brass is the coin of the military
realm.
Company c has returned from it's
tour of duty at the reservoir.
Company E, the Texas trophy COM
pany, is in camp in the canyon.
The work on the reservoir is progress
ing very we'll considering the number
of men employed.
1t is said that Sergeant Granlee will
be sent to Fort Leavenworth. That
point is considered a much easier sta
ton than Alcatraz Island, Cal.
The order for the practice march
may be withheld after all on account of
the active duty in the canyon. The
work there is to be finished some time
in October.
A good sized crowd was disappointed
that the band did not give the regular
open air concert on Wednesday even
ing. They were at the tabernacle. The
concert was given last night at the
usual hour, from to $50.
Honorably discharged soldiers may
now re-enlist at any military post in
the United States for any regiment in
the army.
Reports on the new rifle are salts

ure of merit in craftsmanship is looked
for next year when the new firing regu-
lations will be in operation

Soldiers of good character, who have
aVailed themselves of the benfits of the
three year law and received their dis
charge, may re-enlist the day after ex-
piration of the three years and three
months. Formerly they had to wait
two months before they could "take
on" again.
Lieutenant Brainburst, as popularity
considered in a certain relation, is pro
bono publico.
Recruit Cantdrill is tickled to death
at the prospect of the practice march
being postponed indefinitely.
Everything done in the army is ac-
complished by music. They get up
with the stirring notes of revielle,

Nervousness

Is really only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full Of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
yersally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition OF the blood
which causes Nervousness.
It is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you are
taking preparation which only qutets
your nerves! tits like trying to drown
your sorrows in the flowing bowl.
They are sure to return, e7a.fold DorSe.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
DEADENING or QUIETNG your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. Ii you take such articles
you are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be REAC-
TON which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee line to the state Of
health, purify your blood and cure
