ter trying other medicines for what
seemed to be a very obstinate cough
in our two children we tried DR..
Kings New Discovery and at the
end of two days the cough entirely
left them. We will not be without

that it cures where all other rene

the wounded man holding On with the
little strength he has left, ever and anon
looking down at the good Samaritan
and saying: "You are very kind. had
no right to expect this thing Of Sa-
maritan when I am an Israelite. You
are very kind to walk and let me ride. "
Now they have come up to the tav-
ern. The Samaritan, with the help of
the landlord, assists the sick and wound
ed man to dismount and puts him to
bed. The Bible says the Samaritan staid
all night. In the morning, suppose,
the Samaritan went in to look how his
patient was and ask him how he passed
the night. Then he comes out-the
Samaritan comes out and says to the
landlord: "Here is money to pay that
mans board, and if his convalescence
is not as rapid as hope for, charge the
whole thing to me. Good morning, all. "
He gets ON the beast and says, "Go
along, you beast, but go slowly, for
those bandits sweeping through the
land may have left somebody else
wounded and half dead" Sympathy!
Christian sympathy! How many such
men as that would it take to warm the
cold world up? Famine in Zarepthath.
Everything dried up. There is widow
with son and no food except hand
ful Of meal She is gathering sticks to
kindle a fro to cook the handful of
meal Then she is going to wrap her
arms around her boy and die. Here
comes Elijah. His two black servants,
the ravens, have got tired waiting on
him. He asks that woman for food.
Now, that handful CT meal is to be di-
vided into three parts. Before, it was
to be divided into two parts. Now, size
says to Elijah, "Come in and sit down
at this solemn table and take third Of
the last morsel." How many women
like that would it take to warm the
cold world up?
Warming the World.
Recently an engineer in the south
west, on locomotive, saw train COM
ing with which he must collide. He re-
solved to stand at his post and slow up
the train until the last minute, for
there were passengers behind. The en-
gineer said to the fireman: Jump! One
man is enough on this engine! Jump"
The fireman jumped and was saved.
The crash came. The engineer died at
his post. How many men like that en-
eineer would it take to warm this cold
world up? A vessel struck on rocky
island. The passengers and the crew
were without food, and a sailor had a
shellfsh under his coat. He was saving
it fer his last morsel. He heard little
child cry TO ber mother: "Oh, mother, l
am SO hungry; give me something to
eat. I am so hungry - The sailor took
the shellfish from under his coat and
said: "Herel Take that" How many
men like that sailor would it take to
warm the cold world up? Xerxes, fee
ing from, his enemy, got on board a
boat. A great many Persians leaped in
to the same boat and the boat was sink
ing. Some one said, care You not will
ing to make sacrifice for your king?"
and the majority Of those who were in
the boat leaped overheard and drowned
to save their king. How many men like
that would it take to warm up this cold
world? Elizabeth Fry went into the
horrors of Newgate prison, and she
turned the imprecation and the obsceni-
ty and the filth into prayer and repent
ance and reformed life. The sisters of
charity, in 1868, OH northern and south
ern battlefelds, came to boys in blue
and gray while they were bleeding to
death. The black bonnet with the sides
pinned back and the white bandage on
the brow may not have answered all
the demands Of elegant taste, but you
could not persuade that soldier dying
1000 miles from home that it was any
thing but an angel that looked him in
the face. Oh, with CHEEKY look, with
helpful word, with kind action, try to
make the world warm!
Count that day lost whose low descending sun
Views from thy hand no generous action done
Christ's Sympathy.
1t was his strong sympathy that
brought Christ from a warm heaven to
a cold world. The land where he dwelt
had serene sky, balsamic atmosphere,
tropical luxuriance. No storm blasts IN
heaven. No chill fountains. On cold
December night Christ stepped out of
warm heaven into the worlds frigidity.
TIE Thermometer in Palestine never
drops below zero, but December is a
cherries month, and the rasturage is
very poor Gu the hilltops. Christ stepped
out of warm heaven into the cold
world that cold December night. The
worlds reception was cold. The surf Of
bestormed Galilee was cold. Joseph's
sepulcher was cold. Christ came, the
great warmer, to warm the earth, and all
Christendom today feels the glow. He
will keep cn warming the earth until
the tropic will drive away the arctic
and the antarctic. He gave an intima-
tiou of what he was going to do when
he broke up the funeral at the gate Of
Main and turned it into reunion festi-
val, and when with his warm lips he
melted the Galilean hurricane and stood
on the deck and stamped his foot, cry
ing, "Silence!" and the waves crouch
ed and the tempests folded their wings.
Oh, it was this Christ who warmed
