What God Gives a Boy.

A body to live in and keep clean

A pair of hands to use for himself

A pair of lips to keep pure and I'M

A pair of ears to hear the music of

the tempter says, or to what dishonors
God or his mother.
A pair of eyes to see the beautiful,

A mind to remember, and reason

Look Out For Breakers.

The New York Sun editorially
says:
"If November should find Cuba
still in the throes of devastation by
her present tyrants, without some
positive and promising sign OF sympa-
thy having been shown by the Ameri-
can Government, then there will be
no power to restrain the American
people from declaring Themselves uu-
mistakably upon the Cuban question
by voting against the Government.
This strain of toleratlng the continued
inhumanities in Cuba is too great to
be endured six months longer with
out revolt. And we are confident
that no citizen of this country is him
self more conscious of this sentiment
than William Mckinley"

rThe Silver Cross.l

There is no word in the English
language that so beautifully describes
the christians death as the sweet
German expression, "Hiemgang."
"Homegoin" it is, indeed, for one who
enters the palace of the King as heir
beloved, son or daughter of the Fa-
Their. But for her whom the woman
hood, yes, and the manhood of chris
tendon mourns today, the word is
true in an unusual sense. For the
sake of the homeless Miss Willard be-
came a wanderer, that through her
offorts "the whole world might be
made more homelike." She who
never knew the touch of childish
hands that were her very own. made
straight the paths for "the little
feet, the little feet a-coming. Know
ing the depths of mother-love only
from blessed oneness with her own
beloved mother, she has been the chief
exponent and strongest factor of the
society whose best definition is found
in her own words, "organized mother
love-" for God and Home and Ma
tive Land" it has wrought, under her
guidance, but it has not stopped
there. It's leader was too farasighted
and too broad-minded for the limits-
tons OF one small section of the world.
To her we owe the larger conception,
the expansion of thought and effort,
as of motto, till it became, "For God
and Home and Every Land"
What the Womsn's Christian Tenn
perance Union owes to Miss Willard
other pens, at other times, will try to
tell. Gracious and loving tribute of
the womanhood of the world will be
laid at her feet. They who, as COM
rades and brothers, have stood shout
der to shoulder with her in many a
mighty struggle, will march with
unified drums and arms reversed,
paying her warriors honors. But
the swe . est tribute will come from
homes that but for her would have
been no homes, from the little chill
dren whose happy lives are safe and
sheltered because of what she has
done. ....

which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhosa accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, We sent for a

for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera

and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
