Never Stop.

This was the subject on which
Evangelist Moore spoke last night.
night. On account of the rain the
audience was smaller than usual.
Mr.. Moore chose for his text,
"This one thing do, forgetting the
things that are behind and reaching
forth to those things that are
before, press toward the mark for
the prize" After a few lessons
drawn from the lite of Paul he
likened the Christian life to a race;
he said that those who enter the
race must do so lawfully and that
our besething sin must be laid aside;
their we must run patiently
Perservingly and energetically in
order to win the prize. This diff
ference existed however that in
ancient race-course they run in
a circle and only limited number
could win.
In the Christian race, we run in
the straight and narrow way, and
all who persevere to the end will be
rewarded.
Tonight Mr., Moore will discuss

Pursued by a Demon.

How many suicides, think yoN,
reader, have been committed by
persons driven distraught and
hunted to their doom by the demon
of chronic i'll health? Countless. For
instance, we know, do we not, that
hypochondriasis is a monomania-a
sort of minor madness produced by
chronic dyspepsia? Again, insomnia,
or sleeplessness, often a result of
the same cause, eliminates in a
arrangement of the reasoning
faculties. 1t is, therefore, of
momentous consequence to prevent
the arrival of disease at its chronic
phase, when it daily and nightly
scourges the sufferer to danger
ously uncertain goal No medicine
known to science, as a means Of
arresting the maladies to which it is
adapted, exists equal to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, Among these
complaints are chronic Indigestion
and insomnia, kidney and rheumatic
ailments, constipation and liver
trouble. Appetite is improved by
the Bitters, the blood tertilized,
and bodily substance and vigor IN
creased by it.

general average of musical comedy
