D. a. Strong Will BE
Able to Preach.
HIS EXPERIENCE ONE OF
UNUSUAL INTEREST.

For the good of humanity and the
praise Of God, Mr.. D. A. Strong. OF
South Manchester, Conn, tells his re-
markable experience. He is native
OF Connecticut, and had been preach-
ing the gospel and teaching through.
out that State for thirty years, until
about six years ago, when his health
became SO poor that he had to give up
both. He was advised to try outdoor
work, and went to live on little farm
in South Manchester. He says: "a
few weeks ago had no faith in any
medicine Or in any doctor. Ny trouble
was said to be epilepsy, but I have
always thought that indigestion, to-
gether with constipation, were the
causes of all my suffering, for in my
family there has never been case of
epilepsy or fits of any kind.
"About five years ago, while eating
breakfast, was suddenly taken with
faintness. My head fell back, and I
was carried unconscious to my room
and put to bed. This continued at
intervals, until had about given up
hope. tried everything, at least
everything that was recommended to
me, and aside from the kind dealings
of loving Heavenly Father, received
no help. even tried electricity. but
in spite of it all / was not able to
leave the house, and it seemed al
though must give up entir =.
Zone day, my wife, not ng the
Puritana advertisement, called my
attention to it. AS it seemed to meet
my case, ! concluded to try it. did
so, and firmly believe that God sent
me Puritana, for it has performed
wonders.
To-day am working in the field.
and can eat and sleep as of old
am convinced that In a short time
shall be able once more to preach
Gods word, which has been my de-
sire ever since my affection.
~ wish to add that there is no
medicine in the world that I would
take to-day outside Of Puritana.

Oh, ah -I-ah beg pardon, Miss

AS was Eayiag, don't recall that you

But I suppose it needed something like

THE BoeRs.
They Are Pastoral People. and, Though
Simple. Are suspictons.

IHey are PASTORAL ReopHes and. Though
Simple. Are Suspicious.
The Beers are pastoral rather than an
agricultural people. They count their
wealth by the mum Der of their horses. their
oxen and their sheep. During the dry sea-
son, between April and October the Roers
"trek' with their hocks and herds To the
outlying farms in the bush veldt. where
they find abundant pasturage for their
stock and protection for their families
against the biting cold of the high yeldt
1t may be matter Of surprise to some to
learn that large mum bers of cattle are often
found frozen to death on the highlands of
the Transvaal. have myself found some
90 head of oxen lying dead in the snow
just outside the kraal, whsre they had heen
abandoned by their herds The Boer has
very few wants beyond what his farm can
supply. His purchases usually consist Of
coffee, sugar, -four, saddlery, guns, rifles,
ammunition, matches, orookery, cooking
utensils, some clothing and little gin.
He does not thegafore require to cultivate
more than ten or dozen acres out of his
farm, which consists of some G, 1000 acres
or more. 1t is not probable that he has
improved much in this respect il one may
judge from the cost OF most of the neces-
saries of life at the present time in the
Transvaal.
My personal experience of the Doors of
South Africa extends from 1877 to 1882
three Of these years being spent in the
TransyaaL From observations since and
from information received from residents
I am led to think that the Boer is much
the same as he was 20 years ago. The ris-
ing generation is better educated than Ii
was formerly, and there is little doubt that
it has become a necessity for them to &C.
quire our language, much as their fathers
may object to such qualification. The
Boer Is an extremely suspicious person and
is always on the alert against being
"1unked." So distrustful were they Of
the banking institutions that many Of

ticklish things to pack, but when one
understands just how to do it, are less

paper or laoes or other soft material, put
one crown inside of another, pressing IN
