LET US BE NOT ONLY THANKFUL BUT
 LOYAL TO GOD.
 We live in the light of divine revc- lation. The monday Sun of 1900 years of the progress of the Gospel of the Son of God shines upon us, beating bach with the sword of the Spirit of Truth the dark shadows of ignorance and sin which still finger over the face of thi. fair earth. Since God is our Father in heaven, the children of men must every where be brethren and mutual helpers in solving the deep, perplcxing problems of Chis earth-life.
 The grand characteristic of the SpiIit of Christ is that it not only inspires and promotes all good, but that 1t makes all the real blessings of life common to all. The Gospel makes common cause for all the sons of men, everywhere. Nc sooner do we begin to love God with all our hearts and minds than we find our. selves interested in the welfare of ouI neighbOrs. The love of the Father means the love of all the Fathers child ren also. The love of God means the love of all good to all men. The missi [ to Christ is joy, peace and goodwill tc all the children of men, over all this sr cursed world.
 And so the power of the gospel be comes divine inspiration in the s0cia and business world. It promotes the brotherhood of man, and opens new doors of intercourse between strange nations; it enlarges the commerce ol the world and develops the natural re , sources of the earth; 1t awakens the in. i ventive genius of men that the subtle mysterious forces of nature may bt subdued and applied to the wants of tht people ;-it tends to make the cOndfrionl ' of life free and equal, and distributes the benefits of enterprise and inventions making common the choicest and bes the earth can give' rr .e- ..ar ...''.'" a. 2 HBlesaing the cotter and the crown, .. 8 sweetenfng worn LaBor's bitter cup;

For your Protection. Catarrh Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow severe pain in
the head,,a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.
