Oh, what a glorious state of things

another minute make better universe.

and for the creation of that he only

Doctors Can't

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid Of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. g. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause OF the disease and forces it
from the system.

Value of Divine Friendship.

How refreshing is human friendship,
and true friends, what priceless treas
uresl When sickness comes and trouble
comes and death comes, we send for our
friends first Of ALL and their appearance
in our doorway in any crisis is re-en-
forcement, and when they have enter
ed, we say, "Now it is all rightW Oh,
what would we do without personal
friends. business friends, family friends!
But we want something mightier
than human friendship in the great
exigencies. When Jonathan Edwards,
in his final hour, had given the last
goodby to all his earthly friends, he
turned on his pillow and closed his
eyes, confidently saying, "Now where
is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never
failing Friend?" Yes, admire human
friendship as seen in the case of David
and Jonathan, Of Paul and Onesiphorus,
of Herder and Goethe, Of Goldsmith
and Reynolds, of Beaumont and Fletch-
er, of Crowley and Harvey, of Erasmus
and Thomas More, of Leasing and Men
delssohn, of Lady Churchill and Prin-
cess Anne, of Orestes and Pylades, each
requesting that himself might take the
point of the dagger, so the other might
be spared; Of Epaminondas and Pelopi-
das. who locked their shields in battle,
determined to die together, but the
grandest, the mightiest, the tenderest

would only hurl you into heaven.
If God is your friend, you cannot 90
out of the world too quickly or sudden
~ so far as your own happiness is con-
cerned. There were two Christians who
entered heaven. The one was standing
at a window in perfect health, watch
ing a shower and the lightning in
stantly slew him. but the lightning did
not flash down the sky as swiftly as his
spirit flashed upward. The Christian
man who died on the same day next
door had been for a year or two failing
in health, and for the last three months
had suffered from a disease that made
the nights sleepless and the days an
anguish. Do you not really think that
the case Of the one who went instantly
was more desirable than the one who
entered the shining gate through long
lane Of insomnia and congestion? In
the one case il was like your standing
YEARLY at a door, knocking and wait
ing and wondering if it will ever open,
and knocking and waiting again, while
in the other case it was a swinging
open Of the door at the first touch OF
your knuckle. Give your friendship to
God and have Gods friendship for you,
and even the worst accident will be a
victory.

who one day in conversation told him

incredulous Englishman repaired to the

pass, which he gravely related on his
return to England. The summons Of

Within a year the United States has
got about Sl4O,0OO,O00 in gold from
other lands, and exchange continues in
our favor. That more gold is said to be
because OF the large sale Of American
securities by European holders, these
sales settling the great balances in favor
Of our merchants. These securities thus
dumped upon our markets the bankers
and big money men take uE and hold.
This explains the increase of loans by
the New York banks of from $685., ,000,-
900 on October to t667 900, 900 on
October 29, an increase Of loans OF S32.
100000. As an eastern paper says, this
expansion shows that New York has
been loaning on larger scale to Euro
pean purchasers Of American exports,
1t may perhaps be called paying Ameri'
can debts held by foreigners.
The backs in Europe have lost about
800 coo. 600 OF which the Imperial
bank of Russia has lost s68, ,OOO. 900, and
the bank Of France the most Of the
