dOn'topen your mouth when older peo-

George acted up to orders. The host

No answer. "Wil you have some as

Mines eyes have seen the glory OF the
coming of the Lord;
He Is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes Of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of His terrible, swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watchfres Of
hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in
the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by
the dim and Aarlng lamps;
His day is marching on.
l have read fiery gospel, writ in
FURNISHED rows of steel,
"As We deal with My contemners, so
with We My grace shall deal;
Let the hero born of woman crush
the serpent with his heel"
Since God is marching on.
He sounded forth trumpet that shall
never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men
before His Judgment seat,
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him;
be jubiliant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that trans
figures you and me.
As he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Liver
Trouble

When the yellow flag Of quarantine
ishoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek issallow
and the clear white Of the eye is dyed
safron-there is danger. 1t is liver
trouble. The liver is one of the most i'm.
portant organs Of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs Of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use Of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.

until a few months since, when, by
the Military Works bill, sum Of
f1,349,OO0 was appropriated for the
purchase of Salisbury plain, for the
laying out of new ranges for the
magazine rife, and, lastly, for the
completion Of series of defensive
positions, including works for the
mounting of medium-sized guns upon
the chain of heights surrounding the
metropolis. Practically the first tive
items will require about million Of
the above sum, so that only about
100000 will be available for defensi-
BILE positions. But several works for
the mounting of medium-sized guns
are already completed or in progress.

the Weald, on the chalk range in the
vicinity of Dorking, on the hills near
Berkhamsted and in several other

with six-inch breech-loaders, some in
empacements with disappearing
mountings. 1t is however, UNDER

The Worlds Trouble.

The conditions are already setting

Of Israel and are destined to lead all

ago thusly: ii will make thee the
head and not the tail. Thou shaltlbe
above and not beneath. All the ma
tons of earth shalt see that thou art
called by the Lord and they shall be
afraid of thee"
This is His statement made to the
Twelve Tribes of Israel. Remember
that the descendants of one son,
named Judah, are the Jews OF today.
All the other tribes are not Jews.
They are the Anglo-Saxons 'of today.

at our half-brothers, the Jews, how
they have no government of their
own and yet they actually govern all
nations by holding the money strings,
while we, the Lost Ten Tribes, do the

Of our monster guns whose roar scares
all the people of earth so that they
are afraid of us-just as the promise
Of God said they should be. This is
why England is now talking of form

Ten Tribes of Israel and must stand
together. We are actually entering
into the period of turmoil whether
people believe itor not Thirty years
of upheavals with intervals of quiet
between acts. New entanglements
will arise. All old "fads' will be cut
down. Kings, queens and potentates
have in their Threats Jumps as big as
walnuts. They are scared. They
see their foundations tottering. The

troll the nations Of earth by holding
