What We Eat

In other words, the hourisbment

be carried by tie blood to all
PARTS of the body. We believe the
reason for the great benefit
which 50 many people derive
from Hoods SarSaparllla lies in
the fact that this medicine gives
good digestion and makes pure,
rich blood. It restores the func-

THE SERMON.
! have selected this text as bear
ing upon the name by which this
chercL!S known. The title "Chnrch
of the Advent" cal refer to tie adj
vent OF but one Being, that of opr
Blessed Lord; aud when the word
is spoken 1t recalls to rs not only
His first humble advent upon this
earth, but also looks forward to
His glorious second coming in
great power andsmajeSty.
Ga the Ascension morning Jesus
led His disciples out OF Jerusalem
to little hill over against the
viilage of Bethany. He told these
eager disciples as they gathered
close about Him. that Trey should
be His witnesses both in Serussl-
EN-, and In all Judea, and Samaria,
and unto the utterlnost parts of the
earth" witnessing was to be
their life work. These few men
were to be the nucleus from which
the church should bud aud grow.
They were 10 proclaim the FIRST adj
vent of their Lord, His lowly birth
and humble life, His blessed
passion and precious death, His
mighty resurrection and glorious
ascension" Even as He spoke,
their Lord Twas taken up AID a
cloud received Hin ouSaS their
sight. While they were still gaz-
ing upward. two men stood by
them III wEits apparel; which also
said: 'Ye men of Galilee, why
stand We looking iuto heaveni
This JeSuS which was received up
froih yoa into heaven, shall 50
come in like manner as We 1beheld
H:m going into heaven. " What
4 Joy aud comfort this assurance
must have been so these devoted
men-their beloved Master would
return again in ike manner aB Ee
had been taken. This proclamation
of the second advent Of Jesus be
come an important part of the
apostles preaching, As we'll as the
facts OF His earthly life and re-
;urrectiun *** For these great
truths, this church stands, aud the
very title it bears indicates that
they Will be upheld. = -

a brief retrospect may be of IN
terest Snd pr6ft Gu this anniver-
sary occasion. Yonr church is
nearing the half century mark OF
It's organization. en- the 18th. Of
April, 1851, the parish of the
Church of the Advent in Browns
vile was formally organized and
a vestry elected, SO next year you
may celebrate the Semi-centenuisl
of the founding Of this church
During the forty-nine years of the
church's history it has suffered
most through difficulty to secrre
rectors. - The shortness of
the rector>hIp OF many Of your
ministers has been due also to ma
avojdabie causes. Some, after
short stay, were compelled TO leave
because OF the illness of themselves
or Soue memher CT their family.
others were removed i;y death.
Had it not been fer the proximity
of the Z. S. army post at ~.
Brown, and tie active cooperation
of officers AMI chaplains stationed
there, you would have bsen with
out n rector more often than was
actually he ease, and there is
strong possibility that the church
in which yoa IRE nov seated would
not be celebrating the 23rd. anal
versary Of its conservation today.
Three of the twelve rectors who
have been in charge Of this parish
were army chaplains. The first Of
the three. Rev. Elijah Onion, was
in charge the original church
bnilding was destroyed by the
tornado of 1861. Rev. J. c Lavar-
ty followed Mr. Guiou, and it vas
during his rectorShip and partly
through his efforts that this pres
ent building was erected. He sup

II was just stepping off the street

was telling story, when met a

"But what in the world is two

"Now you're too hard for me. l
don't know where it started, but in the
good old times of case type and hand
presses it was the common expression
used to designate woman in print

composing rooms. I'll tell you how l

as everybody knows, is provided with
hicks on the side, SO that the type
settlers don't have to look at the face Of
the type to know how to throw it in
the stick Far back in prehistoric
days the type had only one nick, but
later two hicks became the style, and
30 years ago two hicks was the usual
thing. But there came improvements
in typemaking, and It was discovered
that three or four hicks on the side of
the type made it easier for the printer
to handle, and so the three or four
nicked type came into style and the
two nicked type went into disuse and
bad repute. Printers despised the two
nicked type. About that time women
got a foothold In the printing Offices
They were not regarded with favor by
the old time printers. The women and
the two nicked type were in about the
same category In the esteem of the old
typo, and it was very natural that he
should come to express both by the
same words. They both became two
nickers,' and the expression has be-
come traditional in printshops. MEM

Over and Over.

Mr.. William Hawley Smith, in bis
"Walks and Talks" tells Of remark
made by an Irish friend which might
be applicable in many cases:
He used to be very fond Of hearing
the bishop preach and always went to
service when that dignitary held forth
l met him on the street one Sunday
when knew the bishop was preaching
and asked him why he wasn't in bis
pew, to which he replied:
''Troth, don't go to hear the bishop
ony more"
"Why, what's the matter?" said
"You haven't gone back on good
man, have your
NO." he answered, "but it's the
truth I'm tellin you, when you've heard
the bishop half dozen times all after
that Is variations
