From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ. RANK, No. 2,354
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,

lief from utter discouragement. She
says:
al never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia r. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doctorcd for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So il went on
until last October, felt something
terrible creeping over me, ] knew not
what. but kept getting worse i can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought would lose nv
mind. No one knows what endured.
81 continued this way until the last
Of February, when l saw in paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetn-
BILE Compound. 1 determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman. and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine"

Rev. II. w. Van Schoick former
pastor of the Simpson Methodist Epis-
copal church, occupied the pulpit last
evening, and was greeted by an audi
ence that completely filled all the
available space in the edihce. 1t is
twenty-five years since the Rev. Mr..
Van Schoick first came to this city,
and after spending three years at
Simpson church he went to the Provi-
dence church. and after three years
service there, returned here for anoth-
er term.
During the sixteen years that he has
been away from the church he has
never forgotten the many kindnesses
shown him, and his popularity was
demonstrated in the reception he re-
Ccived last evening. 1t took the form
of an ovation. The pastor Rev. j. Il.
Sweet read the scripture lesson and
Rev. Harmed offered prayer.
Rev. Mr.. Van Schoick took his text
from the ffty-seCond chapter of
Isaiah, and the seventh verse. "How
beautiful Are the Feet of Him That
Iringeth Good Tidings." The message
applied to everyone, he said, but there
is largely prevailing habit among
people of getting morbid and looking
upon the dark sides of life. Many are
too anXiouS to bring evil instead OF
good reports This is largely the re-.
suit of our environments and educa-
tion. childhood. the most beautiful
study in the world is brought up in
fear. and good illustration of this is
given in Eugene Fields poem Seeing
Things at Night" Some foolish nurse
or Parent put these ideas into the
"hilds mind.
We arc growing up in an atmosphere
nf superstition, the speaker thought,
instead of believing what the Lord
said. that everything WAS made beau
tifUl." The spirit of men is needed in
the church who will go out and preach
the gospel. The time viii come, he
said. when the nation will cease To- he

world has seen Gods hand in cuba.
