Catarrh is
Not Incur able

But it can not be cured by sprays,
washes and inhaling mixtures which
reach only the surface. The disease is
in the blood, and can only be reached
through the blood S. s. S. is the only
remedy which can have any effect upon
Catarrh; it cures the disease perma-
nently and forever rids the system of
every trace of the vile complaint.

above the broken birds and they took
wing and went singing ~heavenward.
OF course that is a fable mons b
Icelanders. But IL is not a fable that
we are dust. and that, the hand Of di-
vine grace waved over US once, we go
singing toward the skies.
/ wish, my friends, that we could
live in a higher atmosphere. If a
mans whole life object is to make dol
lars. he will be running against those
who are making dollars. II his whole
object is to get applause, he will run
against those who are seeking ap-
plause. But if he rises higher than
that he will moi be interrupted in his
flight heavenward. Why does that
flock of birds, floating up against the
blue sky Sc high that you can hardly
see them. not change its course for
spire or tower? They are above all
distractions. So We would not have
so often to change our Christian
course if we lived in a higher atmos-
phere nearer Christ, nearer the throne
Of God.
REFUSE NOT.
Oh, We who have been washed in the
blood of Christ, we who have been loos-
ed from the hyssop branch, start heav-
inward. 1t may be to some of you a
long flight. Temptations may dispute
your way, storms of bereavement and
trouble may strike your soul, but God
will see you through. Build not on the
earth. Set your affections on things in
heaven, not on things on earth. This
is a perishing world. Its flowers fade,
Its fountains dry up. Its promises
cheat. Set your affections upon Christ
and heaven. l rejoice. my dea breth-
rem and sister in Christ, that the fight
will after awhile be ended. Not al
way beaten of the storm. Not always
going on weary wings. There is a
warm dOvecOt of eternal rest where we
shall find a place of comfort. TO the
everlasting joy Of our souls. Oh. they
are going up all the time-going up
from this church-going up from all
everlasting joy Of Our souls. Oh, they
the families and from all the churches
of the land-the weary dove seeking
rest in a dovecot. Oh, that in that
good land We m a all meet when our
trial are all over We cannot get into
the glorious presence of our departed
ones unless we have been cleansed in
the same blood that washed their sins
away. 1 know this is true of all who
have gone in, that they were plunged
in the blood, nat they were Embossed
from the hySSOp~ branch. Then they
went singing into glory. See that We
refuse not him that Speaketh, for if
they escaped not who refuse him that
spake on earth, how much more shall
not we. escape if we turn away from
him hat ~speaketh from heaven?
