Action of Nay Aug Mission.

The Nay Aug Falls mission of the
Penn Avenue Baptist church, mourning
the sudden death of its beloved superin-
tendent, Hon. Lemuel Amerman, which
occurred on oct. T. 1897, directs this tribute
to be entered upon the minutes of the
mission and a copy sent to the family.
When the mission was founded he was
chosen by the church as it's first superin-
tendent. This position he held when he
died. He was maturing plans which in
sured the early completion of a chapel
for the use of the school. These plans he
has left for us to complete. We have rec
ognized in him the attributes of success
full leadership. He knew how to draw all
classes and conditions of men up towards
the high level he himself occupied For
all he had ever genial smile and pleas
ant word. The children reverenced him
and through his example were taught to
reverence the Christ he served. The
youth loved him and by his counsel formed
higher conceptions of life. Those of ma
turer years feel more deeply if possible
the loss of our leader. The energy with
which he grasped the work was character
istic of the man. Having put his hand to
the plough his look was ever forward
one week ago he inspired every one to
renewed persistent effort toward the con-
summation of our plans for erecting a
new chapel. Yesterday his loved ones
gathered in the home on the hlllslope ana
he was borne away to the Forest Hill"
TO the aged father, the widow and the
orphans we extend our sincere sympathy
and consolation. We are sad with them
today. We can only point them where
we ourselves took-to the Nazarene as the
strong protector through the valley and
in the shadow. May the Holy Spirit be
with them through all the coming days;
may the everlasting arms be round about
them to strengthen and safely keep them
may the love of friends be constant and
true bringing comfort and cheer as time
moves swiftly on toward the end of life.

1t seems to you that that
tickling, hacking cough is all
in the throat. But your doc
tor will tell you that this SEN
sation is often deceiving. The
cough is often the signal of
deeper trouble in the bron-
chial tubes or in the lung
tissue itself. These inhamed
membranes can only be
healed by treating the system.
For all lung troubles, espe-
cially in the earlier stages, no
remedy equals Scott's Emul-
sion of Cod-liver Oil. Its
special power is in healing
the inAamed tissues of the
lungs.

WHAT is YOUR TRADE Z
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

1t is well known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain occupations than
in others. That each occupation has
its attendant physical weakness. En-
gineers, railroad men and similar oc-
cupations suffer mostly from kidney
troubles and men who are often eX-
posed to the weather suffer from rheu-
matism, while clerks and professional
men, in fact the army of people whose
business keeps them indoors, are often
times great sufferers from piles and
constipation. In this connection the
following letter is of interest TO people
whose occupation will not allow suf-
ficient outdoor exercise.
Mr.. A. f. Calhoun. notary public
and jeweler and matchmaker, Circle
Vile, w. Va, writes as follows:
| had been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three years ago l saw the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
il.
I was badly afflicted when I got
them. but after only two applications
the piles disappeared and from that
day to this / have never felt a symp-
tom of the disease
1 feel that 1 cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison,
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sole by druggists at 90 cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
tc
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market and it's reputa-
tion as a safe and radical cure has
only resulted from the personal recon-
mendation of people who have been
cured of this distressing ailment.
Send to Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich,
for valuable little book on cause and
cure of piles.
