To Give is to Receive.

We must bless if we would receive a
blessing. We must pour the water
from the cup if we would have it filled
again. Life is an exchange of boun-
ties, transfer from one hand TO an
other. Earth gives her portion to the
flowers, they send their fragrance unto
man and man gathers them, decks the
path of friendship and makes heart
sweeter with their rich fragrance. The
sky is mellower for the passing cloud
that lowers beneath it. The cloud re-
ceives its glory from the orb of day.
All things are tributary to one another.
The glow worm lights travellers path;
the pebble turns the tide. Rills fill
the river; rivers send their vapor forth
again to fill the rill. If love flows
our soul unto our neighbors, something
must be dislodged within with breath.
1t may be envy, pride or hate-what
matter-or it may be sweetest strain
of gratitude that will gladden. some
ear, though not our own. We are but
workers, but not like earthly laborers
waiting for our pay. 1t comes in Gods
time and always at the needed mo-
ment. Keep the ways in motion. Roll
the ball of love heavenward. 1t will
strike many hearts and gather &C
clera,ed speed. Pass the cup around
Bid the thirsty, drink, for dust
will gather on the cup that stand:
unmoved, and the water it holds will
become unfit for our own or another's
Use

Too
Much Knife !

The use of the surgeons knife is be-
coming SO general, resulting fatally
i'll such a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
most daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock of an operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means Of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing to the knife, and if such state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be general uprising against such meas
ures. It is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know Of their error, and though a
precious life is given up, the pubic is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiserf
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease is
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circu1a-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat Of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. SIS.
is the most powerful blood remedy made,
and is the only cure for cancer.

TO submit to an operation, is to volun-
tarily endanger ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpo1e, is a wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is we'll known all over the
state. Under date of January goth, 1896,
he writes; "About three years ago, there
came under my left eye little b1otch
about the size of a small pea. It grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
it must be cut out. This I would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., I
determined to give that medicine a trial,
aud after had taken it few DAYS, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving
small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway Words
are inadequate to express my gratitude to
the great blood purifier, S. S. S., and
write this hoping that itmay bethe means
of leading other sufferers to cure"
Cancer is not incurable, but tie only
means of curing it is to rid the blood Of
the disease. SIS. never fails to do
this, but it is the only remedy to be re-
lied upon. 1t is guaranteed purely
vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease of the blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alarm,
ing conditions that the doctors think an
operation necessary. Scrofu1a, for in
stance, often diseases the glands of the
neck to such an extent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
relief. This is also grave error, as the
disease is in the blood and real blood
remedy is the only cure.
An operation never did cure blood
disease. Beware of the knife!

The loafer never blames the right
man for his bad luck.
Our friends may leave US, bu, God
Will still be very close.
There are many people who have
more religion than love.
TO those who know Gods voice he
is always telling his love.
We are walking with the devil when
ever we are in bad company.
If your work seems hard you can
make it easy by doing it for Christ.
1t is only the man who is faithful to
God who.is true friend to himself.
To bring out the very best that God
has put in us, the motive must be love.
Many a rose-lined path is full OF

that he does not live compels himself

Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowcd wealth
OF large red fIcckles and first-rate health.

Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
The sweet song died and vague unrest
And sort of terror filled her breast
A fear that She hardly dared to own,
For what if a wheel should strike stone.
The Judge scorched swiftly down the road
Just then he heard his tire explode!
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple tree to await the mad.
And he asked her if she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly Jump,
And in less than a minute produced
pump.
She blushed as she gave it and looking
down
At her feet once hid by a trailing gown.
Then said the Judge as he pumped away,
