DIR. SIMMONS
On the Sin of Unbelief at the First Bap
 tist Church.

On the Sin of Unbelief at the First Bap-
 tist Church.
 At the revival services al the First Baptist church last night Dr. Simmons preached a most impressive and forceful sermon on unbelef.
 Unbelef is the parent sin, and from 1t all others have their being. Unbelief caused .he fall of man; prevented the world from being saved in the ark with Noah; caused the wanderings of the Jews in the, wilderness, and caused the perse- cution and crucifxion of our Lord Jesus Christ. In a simple clear, and yet forci- ble way repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ" was presented as the only way to eternal life. The world, because of unbelief, is in rebellion against God. Jesus came into the world to reconcile the world to God. The simplicity of Gods plan as well as rebel lion in the heart of man causes mary to hesitate to accept il.
 After the sermon strong eXhortation and appeal was made to all unbelivers to repent and accept Christ now. Several ca nle forward for church membership. Many others came to profess their faith in Christ, while still many more cams forward and asked the prayers of the church.
 Dr. Simomns announced that the sub ject for tonight's services would be either ,"The. Second Coming of Christ" or As surance" N-'

 A Week of Prayer.

A week of prayer for the observance Of the Lords Day-April to II. 1897.
 For nineteen years a week of prayer has been observed for the preservation of the Sabbath. The necessity for such prayer presses upon us with increasing energy. Therefore, the undersigned, in behalf of the society we represent, invite all who love the Holy Day to devote April to Il, inclusive, as a season or special prayer.
 l. That God will bestow such influences of the Holy Spirit as shall quicken the consciences of all Christians, that they may give more earnest heed to hlS com mand to hallow the Sabbath in their homes and in public by refraining rom such acts as will tend to weaken regaru for the Lords Day. ,-
 ?. That He will lead Christians to obey the important part of the fourth com mandmernt: Thou nor thy man servaHt, nor thy maid servant, nor the stranger, and to understand that it is greater sin to require another 70 do wrong than to do it ourselves; and that no one obeys Gsd fully in this command until he has done all in his power to secure for those i'm his employ an opportunity for the en- joyr1ent of Sabbath rest and worship.
 3. Thea He will lead to victory all who are striving to enforce the laws against the open saloon cn the Sabbath, and sucl amusements as disturb the peace ana eN'-' - MRS. K. E. STOWE, Superintendent of Sababth Observance
 Department, State w. c. T. U.

Few of them have been told that these things arc of the past. Pain and danger are no longer necessary. Blythe regular use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion during the expectant period safety, comfort and health are assured for both mother and child
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is for the cure of all diseases distinctly feminine, and for the invigoratiou of already healthy organs in time of unusual strain. It pro- notes regularity and relieves periodical pains and discomforts. It has saved the lives of thousands of women, as their own testimony proves Taken from among thou sands like it is this letter which tells what one woman has experienced
 ". K. Malcolm, Esq? of kuobel, Clay O., Ark. writes: i've believe in the merits of Dr Pierce's family medicines. My wife was troubled with female weakness, and two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, together with the Golden Medical Discovery cured her. During the pe- Discovery and for perhaps four months pre- vious to the birth of our child she also took the Favoritc Prescription These medicines, it seemed, strengthened her entire system, and childbirth to her was very easy-being attended with very little pain. Our baby Ruth is r3 months old and she mas never been sick a day, not so much as had the collie, she is hearty and stout and pretty as picture pretty because she is healthy, and we very much blame Dr. .Pierces fam fly medicines for it. We keep Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the Favorite Prescription and the Pellets in our home and use them. We have been married most three years and have called physician into my family but one time single trip at birth of our baby"
