out in its glory at the end of an things.
"Since the church is Christ's, no man

that there must be union. This is I'M

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach CT Motherhood is the
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.

Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing q mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is q source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight
remedy which iEsures to them i'm
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to bearing.
Such remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is O
scientific liniment--and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This Won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need Mothers Friend The
little book, Before Baby is Born"
telling all about it. and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit 20 all expectant mothers, and
will be sent free to any address upon
application to the Bradtield Regulator
Company, Atlanta, Ga.

Sunday was great day with the con-
gregation of Trinity Methodist church III
entering their handsome new house ~
worship. As stated, the congregation
was disappointed in getting the services
OF Bishop Gambler, but the sermons and
talks yesterday convinced every one that
the day was great success, neyefthe-
less.
The first service held in the new church
was a young mems prayer meeting, after
which came the regular morning service
at II o'clock, Rev. Frank Silcr, the pas
tor, conducting the exercises. The ser
vice was opened by singing the DoXolo-
gy. the whole congregation participating.
Then followed the hymn, Il Love Thy
Kingdom Lord" followed by prayer by
the pastor.
The text was taken from Matthew 10Th
chanter. 18th verse: ''And ! say unto
three, thou art Tcter, and on this rock
will | build my church and the gates or
he'll shall not prevail against 1t. linen
followed the sermon by the pastor,
synopsis of which is here given:
