AN ANTECEDENT OF FAITH
First, 1 think we might notice that
there was in the centurion's heart a
great want. This is always the ante
cedent OF true faith. for faith is not
merely an intellectual matter; the affec-
lions are also involved. and / do not
believe that any man can exercise saw
ing faith in Christ until he really and
deeply feels a need OF Him.
Another antecedent OF faith is know
ledge sufficient 10 form a rational basis
on which to establish its intellectual
foundation. This centurion had felt the
want. he knew Of Christ's ability to help
him. and now he does next what We
would most naturally expect-he goes to
those who he thought would have infiu-
encs with the Master. and asks them to
help him. And. then. impelied by the ur-
gency OF his need. he goes himself and
seeks q personal interview with Christ.
So the seeker after Christ to-day should
ask for the prayers and counsel Of God s
people, and, above all should seek n
personal interview with the Saviour, for
then. and only then. may be expect to
receive the blessing which he needs.
Notice. also, the great humility OF this
seeker. Faith Is not like the sunfiower.
rearing its head on high; but, rather.
like the violet, blooming modestly ia the
valley.
.sThe centurion took Jesus at His word.
and when he, arrived at home he found
everything Just as the Master had prom
ised him II would be. So. brethren.
believe that when we at last arrive at
home. we shall ind sweet fulfiIment or all
the promises that We cherish so fondly."

WLKEsBARRE, Pa. Dec. l6.-A tragedy
occurred in this city yesterday which is
wrapped in more or less mystery. Last
June j. II. Keithline, n widower, adver-
tised for a housekeeper. Morris Pope and
his wife answered the advertisement, and
n contract was entered into, and the Popes
were installed in keithline's home Mrs
Pope acted as housekeeper, and her hus-
band paid his board. So far as known all
parties got along peacefully. Yesterday
while Keithline was seated in the dining
room reading newspaper Pope came into
the room, pulled II revolver and fired a
bullet into Keithlne's head. Thinking
he had killed him, Pope ran up stairs into
his own room and fired bullet into his
head. He died instantly. The doctors
think Keithline will recover

CANTON, o., Dec. 16.-When Major Nc
Kinley goes to Chicago, as he expects to
do this week, starting tomorrow, NO
special arrangements for travelling will
be made and in all probability he will oc-
cupy berth in one of the regular trains
leaving here during the early evening.
The object of the trip is to join Mrs Nc
Kinley for few days visit. 1t is also be-
lieved that Major Mckinley desires some
diversion and rest from the routine of his
life In Canton, tho better to prepare for
the drafting of his inaugural address, to
which ho is now giving some attention.
This document, it is now believed, will
be well under way towards completion be-
fore the work of forming cabinet takes
more tangible form.

IT CAN'T BE DONE.
No one Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can Be Cured Unless the
stomach is First Made Strong
and Vigorous

and Vigorous.
This is plain because every organ in the
body depends ON the stomach for its nourish-
ment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are made
from the food which the stomach converts to
our use.
How useless to treat disease with this, that
and the other remedy and neglect the most
important Of ALL the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of Indigestion are
sour risings, bad taste in the mouth, gas in
stomach and bowels palpitation, all.gone
feeling, aintuess, headaches constipation
later comes loss of flesh, consumption, liver
and heart troubles, kidney diseases nervous
prostration. all of which are the indirect re-
suit of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it a practice to take after each
meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing it to dissolve in the mouth and thus
mingle with the saliva and enter the stomach
in the most natural way. These Tablets are
highly recommended by DR.. Jonnson because
they are composed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essence which assist the
stomach in digesting all wholesome food be-
fore it has time to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at 80 cents,
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases and
