An Old Story.

The old story of Prometheus is a
parable. Prometheus was on terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them
he stole fire, and gave it to men. For
this sin he was bound to the rocks of
Mount Caucasus, and vultures were
set upon him. They only ate his liver.
This grew again as fast as it was pecked
away. Are his sufferings to be
imagined?
Take modern Interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating the mis-
chief lies. The stomach is overtasked,
the bowels become clogged, they cam
not dispose of the food that is given
them. The impurities back up on the
liver. Then come the vultures-the
torments of diseased liver. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
more than equal to the vultures of dys-
pepsia and its kindred diseases There
is no more need of suffering from dys-
pepsia than there is of hanging ones
self. Sold by all medicine dealers the
world over.

Sunday School Missionary Work.

During the first six months of this
work, from March LIST to September lst,
1896, there have been 20 schools Or
ganized I'll in Howard and 8 i'm Win
neshiek) into which have been gathered
70 teachers and 625 scholars.
Visited Is other schools containing
1l6 teachers and 1902 scholars. AS
sisted in 8 conventions, delivered Is
addresses, visited ia families, travelled
5000 miles, and written nearly 400
letters.
To our personal knowledge only of
these schools would have been or
gained but for this missionary effort.
Important and fruitful as Denomi-
national work is, there are many COM
munities which could not be reached
on any but these Union lines. Some
of the best results of this work is the
blessing of many homes and leading of
individuals to Christ, which cannot be
estimated in figures.
For every $l.O0 given to this work a
child is brought into the Sunday
School. Your help is needed to carry
on this work. Contributions may be
sent to M. r. Ling, Cresco, G. r.
