THE MISSION AT ST. MARY's
{ HURCH.-'rhe church was crowded
{" ain last night, many being unable to
obtain seats. Promptly at 7:50 o'clock
Rev. Timothy V. Mention, G. S. P, as
cended TO the platform and gave a
brief exposition of the article of the
Apostles Creed, "The Holy Catholic
Church, the Communion OF Saints.n
The second part of the Rosary, the five
sorrowful mysteries, were then said
and Rev. Elias II. Younan, G. S. P,
preached the sermon from I Timothy,
", "lf any man have not care of
his own, and especially of those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith
and is worse than an infidel." His
subject was "The Christian Family"
He spoke of the relations of young
persons with each other before and af-
ter marriage; of the proper education
OF the children; of the care necessary
to keep their hearts pure and their con-
duct irreproachable; of the dangers
which beset them; and of the means
necessary for avoiding those dangers;
treating those very delicate subjects
with consummate skill, SO as to strike
at the roots of vice, yet give no offense
to the most sensitive soul. His pic
lures of the greatness of the family re-
lation and its glory when it was pre-
served as God willed it to be were
truly eloquent. Tonight Father You.
nan will preach upon "Hell," SUBJ
iect on which he is said to preach most
effectively.

character, and it is said he isl just as like

How to Treat Il Wife.
From Pacific Health Journal.l

First, get q wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not,
therefore, carry to your home cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less mag
uitude, may be hard fer her to bear.
A kind word, a tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. To this we would add
always keep a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the
best and is sure to be needed sooner or
later. Your wife will then know you
really care for her and wish to protect
her health. For sale by L. Stabler &
Co., druggists.
