Dear Sir: You are q maker 80 are we.

We know what it is, how it acts, what
it does, how it lives, and how long-the

able.
1t is fair that we take the risk Of it
every way; but we ought not to riak any
use or abuse of it.
Can't draw the line. We are dealing
with strangers. We are strangers to
them as they are strangers to Us.
We want to be trusted by them. We
trust them first; that's the way to get
trusted. We trust them to paint with a
fair degree of common paint-knowledge
and care. We expect to be trusted to
furnish paint as good as paint can be, and
to last as long as paint can.
If you do your business that way, you
are fellow with US and one of thou.

A few mean men in the courye of 9
year will abuse our trust and put us tt

soon die from Pneumonia, but she begged
for DR. Kings New Discovery, saying it
had more than cree saved her life, and
had cured her of Consumption. After
three small doses she slept easily all
night, and its further use completely
cured her." This marvellous medicine is

GENUINE SURPRISE.
A SOCIAL EVENT ON BOTSFORD HILL

A select party of friends and neighbors
gathered at the home of Mrs Edwin Il.
Hook OF Botsford Hill, making 1t the
scene of pleasant festivity and kindly
feeling on the evening of September 10.
The occasion was the celebration of a
unique surprise on her esteemed friend,
Miss Elizabeth Burgmeyer of Brooklyn,
N. Y, who has been spending a short
vacation with her friend and schoolmate,
Mrs Hook, and who is about to return to
her home in the city. The surprise was
carried out, with the assistance of Mr. and
Mrs Hook, by two of the many friend
which Miss Burgmeyer has made during
her stay here. To know her is to be her
friend, and anyone seeing that pleasant
company there assembled would say that
she was blessed with many who appre-
ciated her quiet, though kind and at
tractive ways. There we're about 20
couples present, many OF whom regretted
Miss Burgmeyer's returning to the city.
They had come In the name of a friend

grown stronger as each evening passed
in their friends pleasant company and to
wish her continued life health and pros

music was furnished by the we'll known
Peck orchestra. The party broke up
with the short morning hours and all
departed with kind wishes for her in
whose honor the gathering and festivi-
ties were made. Although it did not rain
very hard it is quite evident that many
of the young men were very deeply
Meyered before returning from the
party. T*x*

The Bible is said to be an old book. 1t
is thought by many that it has no sppli-
cation to the affairs of to-day. "Sunday
school politics" is slurring term, az
much as to say that Sunday schools and
politics ought to keep as far apart as
possible, and that it ought always to be
remembered that the man who goes into
politics Is man who knows little about
what is taught in the Sunday school.
Let US see whether the Bible has lost its
force in regard't to matters of to-day. 1
quote from the Book of Exodus, one of
the Oldest books in all literature: "Thou
shall provide out of all the people able
men, such as fear God, men of truth,
hating covetousness, and place such over
them, to be rulers of thou sands,
and rulers Of hundreds, and rulers of
fifties, and rulers of tens.'' My friende,
the thousands and the hundreds are in
the big cities over there; the fifties and
the tens are in the country villages here.
The spirit Of lawles sness is there and the
spirit OF lawlessness is here. I believe
along the line for law against that spirit,
wherever it exists and under whatever
form, which would set aside the forms
OF law to do whatever seems good to the
Individual or the crowd or the corpora.
ton TOR their own personal advantage.
believe the time has for the pulpit every
where to stand for law as against the
rule Of the gangand the mob. God speed
the day, even in this little community Of
ours, when the welfare of the citizens shall
not be discussed amid the gibberi sh of
the saloons as thing of the smallest
worth, when it shall be our proudest aim
to have able men, such az fear God, men
OF truth, hating covetousness, to rule ov-
or US. To this end it is the duty of every
one here, who cares whit what bis home
shall be and what his land shall be, to
give his vote and use his liz fl uence, no
matter how small that be, till that result,
most devoutly to be prayed for, is
brought about. This is not bringing pol
itics into religion or religion into poll.
tics; tits seeking first the Kingdom of
God and it's Righteousness. Democracy
is the government of the people and by
the people. Democracy is search on
the part of all the people to ind the laws
OF God and to interpret them. In this
country, then, in this ancient Common
wealth of ours, it is the bounden duty of
every one-the minister makes no excep-
tion-to reverence law and uphold law
against all law-breakers, not because law
comes from few, an oligarchy nor from
a special favored class, an aristocracy,
nor from one in great authority, king,
nor even from majority in democracy,
because the law goes forth from
Zion and the word of the Lord from Je-
rusalem, because law, rightly interpreted,
is the voice of God.
