knew the Author of all life, laid him
on Elisha's bed and sent quickly tor

Carmel with Gehazi his servant.
When Elisha saw her coming he ask
ed. us it we'll with thee? Is it we'll
with thy husband? Is it well with
tbv child?" How firm must have
been this woman trust in the God OF
Abraham, as she replied, 1T is well. "
Then Elisha sent his servant say
ing, "Gird up thy loins, and take my
staff in thine hand and go thy way; II
thou meet any man, salute him not;
and if any man salute thee, answer
him not again; and lay my staff upon
the face of the child" But the moth
er whose perception quickened by her
faith. had not confidence in this serv-
ant refused to leave Elisha. GehaM
returned to Elisha after a truitless
errand saying, The child is not
awaked." Then Elisha went into his
room where the child lay on his bed,
and shut the door on every one and
praved unto the Lord. Then he
stretched himself upon the child and
the boys flesh became warm, then
after walking in the house to and fro,
he stretched himself again upon the
child, and the boy sneezed seven
times and opened his eyes. And the
grateful mother received her child re-
stored to life.

Farmers Break the Buggy Monopoly,

It is claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance OF the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other
states, SEARS, RoEBUoK q Co. of Chica-
90, have got the price of open bug-I
gies down to $16.5O; Top Buggies
22.75; Top surries, s4875 and upwards
and thew are shipping them in immense
numbers direct to farmers in every state.
They send an immense Buggy Catalogue
free, postpaid, to any one who asks for
IL. This certainly is big victory for
the famers, but a severe blow to the car
riace manufacturers and dealers. IL

Elisha had helped a widow to pay a
great debt and save her son from
bondage, in this way: With nothing
in the house but a pot OF oil, he told
her to borrow many empty vessels OF
her neighbors, and fill them with the
oil, and sell it, and pay the debt, and
live on the balance The oil lasted,
by miracle, as long as there was any
vessel to hold it, and then stayed.
Then Elisha went to Shunom, and
made his home with family whose
child while in the field with his father
among the reapers, must have been
sunstruck, as he cried, "My head, my
head"
And the child was carried to his
mother, and sat on her lap till noon
