at Cairo, Ills, is engaged in its manu-
facture. John Jones Of Phenix, a. T.,
devotes his entire time to the manufac-
ture Of rattlesnake oil, for which he
gets 81 pound, the purchaser to pay
express charges. Snake oil is reputed to
be valuable for rheumatism. He comes
to the city occasionally to work up
trade.
Skunk oil is in considerable demand,
also for rheumatism. The skunk oil IS
obtained from the skunk farms, where
the animals are bred for their skins.
Belief in these remedies is often found
among American born people.
In all parts Of the city there is
good trade in Glove powders, the pur-
chasers usually being Of the servant girl
class.
"When girl comes in after 'lo7e
powders, said drug clerk on North
State street who often has occasion to
fill such orders, "I give her little sug-
ar of milk, which is absolutely innocu-
GUS, if she wants it for herself, and tell
her to take two doses day. If she
wants it for her fellow she usually
asks for the magic drug in the shape OF
candy. In that case I give her some
worm lozenges. The drugs must give
satisfaction, for the orders are fre-
uuently reflled. "-Chicago Tribune.

know from experience that Chamberlain =

that is claimed for it. as on two occasions
it stopped excruciating pains und possibly
saved us from an untimely grave We

GURLEY-MEMoRIAL.

Beautiful DecoraftOns and q Large
Audience Marked the Service.
At the Gurley Memorial Presbyterian
Church the artistic hand of the decorator
had changed the gothic architecture OF the
edifice into a charming wilderness of flags
and streamers.

vocation, the interior was crowded, fully
five hundred people beiI Ig present. After

and Mr.. H. L. Murdock, Rev. James L.

absent Mr.. Murdock and Mrs. Hatfield

Edmonston rendered abide With Me-" A
quartet composed OF Miss Mae Edmonston,
Mrs Hallifleld, and Messrs. Pearson and
Hoover, sang to Miss Nellie Sacrey's ac-
Compartment on the organ.
Mr.. Harry A. Klnparts, OF New York city,
conducted "a quiet hour OF devotion, and
the evening closed with benediction by
Rev. J. r. verbrycke, who directed the
program.
The address at Gurley was delivered by
Rev r. Dyott Of Newark, n. j., who
spoke in part, as follows:
"Christian Endeavorers and church mem.
bers in general may be divided into three
classes. First, there is large class
composed of all who are below the average.
Whatever may be their peculiar expression
OF Christian life 10 its entirety, it is not
80 perfect in quality as the life of others.
1.-THE second class is made of the average
Christians. Their life is not So variable,
their excellencics are not so spasmodic,
the evidences of success in Christian work
are not SO few; they are better, perhaps,
than the majority Of Christians, but prac-
teal, applied Christianity everywhere is
not the Inaip issue with them.
The morning times., 1896-07-09

sionary, Live more with Christ, catch
more OF His spirit; for the spirit OF Christ
is the spirit of missions, aud the nearer we
get to Him the more intensely missionary
we shall bcconie.' Says Christ, our Lord
and Master: GO we into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every creature. And
behold send the promise OF my father
upon you; but tarry ye in the city Of
Jerusalem until ye be endowed with power
from on high
This endowment OF power is the Script
ural means for deepening the spiritual
life-the Holy Spirit is life and tie origin
of all life. At creations dawn He brooded
over this new world and from Him came
the vitalizing energy that brought life
universal to this fair world of ours. 1t is
in the great redemptive scheme that we
see in the fullest light the greatness
of the work assigned to the Holy
Spirit. We do not know who selected this
very important subject for these opening
addresses at this great Christian Endeavor
convention. but we know that no more i'm
portant or vital subject could have been
suggested
The morning times., 1896-07-09
part:

part:
Il thank God for this great convention.
For twelve months we have felt the mighty
heart beat of the great gathering at Boston,
and have looked toward this with hope
and prayer that it might prove mightier
still. The Christian EDdeavor forces are
Gods recruiting army for the spiritual con-
quest OF the world. As in Palestine, once
a year the children Of Abraham gathered
TO Jerusalem, the capital OF the country,
that they might stand before God and re-
ceive new visions OF possibility and new
messages OF duty, So we the ne W children
OF the covenant, are gathered herein Wash
ingtoD, the capital of our country. This
is the passover feast for the young people
Of the world. By as much as this country
and the sister countries about US arc greater
than Palestine, as our mountains tower
above her foot hills, our great plains throw
their ripeniDg harvests beyond her valleys;
as our cities throb with power and flash
with glory undreamed Of IN Palestine, SO
should this gathering receive such sh overs
Of blessing and strength as never fell on
the people gathered Oh the sacred hills
of Zion and Moriah.''
The morning times., 1896-07-09

was Rev. William Justin Harsha, D. D.,
New York city. He is an eloquent speaker
and in part his sermon follows:
'The keynote of the convention is to be
struck tonight from forty-four individual
harps in twenty-five different churches.
That keynote is infinitely sweet and inspir-
Ing. 1t awoke an echo in my heart at
once and wooed me to Washington. Who
would not be glad to have a part in the
blessed thought and work of Deepening
the spiritual life?'
1.-The best way know of to deepen the
spiritual life is to dredge the river-bed
through which God promises to set allow
the full and satisfying currents of His life
and His peace. There are three important
words which we should consider carefully:
'.If we are to dredge the river we must
