4 PEOPLE OF FEW WORDS.

'Iet your speech be yea. yea. and nay.
nav" saws the Good Book FOR who
soever ls more than these cometh OF
evil" The shakers abide by the spirit OF
this rule. Their words are few simple.
sincere and direct. They waste no en-
orgy I'm idle talk: they use IL in thinking
and doing. And whatever they do they
do with their might. They are content
with nothing short OF the essence and
principle OF the things they Investigate
They take mains and are patient. And
thus the doors or many strange truths
omen IN them. In this way they discov-
cred what may almost he called the unity
Of disease. A venerable Shaker says OF
IL. at is said that one mans meat Is
another mans poison. That is but half
the truth. ANY mans meat Is any mans
poison. under certain conditions. II the
grain never got further than the hopper
we should never have bread: and II bread
never got further than tho stomach We
should never have strength. When the
stomach IS torpid helpless and inflamed
tho food lies I'm 1t and rots. This fermen-
tation produces poisons which may and
often do disorder every other organ and
function Of the body. This is Indigestion
or dyspepsia with many symptoms and
DISCUSSES. Cure IL and you cure nine
tenths Of your complaints" These words
were uttered many years ago. Since then
they have found a remedy. now known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. II is made
from medicinal plants cultivated by them.
II Is a food and digests other foods.
Taken while eating It rests the stomach
and nourishes the system. The pain and
distresses Of dyspepsia disappear before
II. II prevents fermentation and soon re-
stores full power 10 the digestion. II sue
ceeds IN the worst cases. n Is worthy the
name Of the people. whose name II bears.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-From a dispatch
received by the Times-Herald II devei-
ope5 that President McKinley's Thanks
| giving was spoiled by curious episode.
| The dispatch says:
In the morning the president, his
brother, Abner Mckinley, Mrs. Smith
of Cleveland, and Miss Barber OF Can
| ton, walked to the Metropolitan Metho-
! dist church, and here the mos. stirring
incident Of the presidents day occurred.
| The minister, Rev. DR.. Johnston, who
has acquired distinction by reason OF
being the presidents pastor" pract-
c3liy took his text from the presidents
Thanksgiving proclamation Holding in
his hand an official copy OF the paper,
certified as true and accurate 5y the
secretary of state, Dr.. Johnston preach
ed prosperity. and produced figures oD-
tsined from the treasury department to
prove that prosperity was on hand. De
parting, however. from this pleasing
and timely topic at an unfortunate mo-
ment, he plunged into discussion OF
sectaTianism, and before he had finish
ed his remarks on this delicate subject
said s5netAing thai certainly cd not

The blundering minister uttered only

they were words that viii travel long

Mr.. Mckinley dislikes IT is this Presi-
| dent Mckinley has all his life been a
stickier for the strictest of proprieties
in the pulpit He abhors politics or a
semblance Of politics there. When ne
decided upon the Metropolitan NJ. E.
church az a place OF worship for him
SELF and family ne did 50 because the
pastor was recommended to him as
man Of sense and discretion.
DR.. Johnston announced a text from
the twentieth verse of the 147th Psalm:
"He hath not dealth 50 with any na-
ton" He then described the piety and
wisdom that moved a president in pro
claiming a day OF thanksgiving. He
said this piety and wisdom promised
good things for the nation. 1t is evil
dence, he said, when the ruler Of sew
enty millions OF people calls upon them
to pause in the midst Of their LABOR and
devote themselves TO prayer and thanks
giving that the C1ristion spirit prevails
In thel and. DR.. Johnston dwelt on the
fact that in this day the nation finds
gladness in worship and family reunion,
while in The old Saxon Gays drunken
ness and excess were the chief pleasures
cf a national feast.
"On this day everyone should pause"
the pastor said, and recount the oene-
fits bestowed upon MIN during the year"
Proceeding then to the subject OF the
national prosperity, which was the chief
burden OF his sermon, DR.. Johnston said
mat the Hight OF better days was snin-
ing, and mat though 1t would take time
to recover from four years OF distress,
We were gaining and prosperity Is here.
Il should not be forgotten. ne said, that |
times ara st1ll hard. but not a. hard as
they have been. and from this recovery |
OF four years OF distress, he added, the
people should thank their God.
IL the Jews were Gods people in the
Did days" ne said, 1--WE are surely His
people row.

;lry department 70 prove thai prosperity
