Tho Old Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases Supplnntcd by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.
the old methods of treating piles by
ligature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods of dilatation, besides causing
intense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makeshifts as far as a cure is con-
cerned.
The liver is responsible for nearly eys
cry case Of piles and the mistake has
been made of treating piles as purely
local disease. Such is not the case, how
ever, and the success of the new treat
ment known as the Pyramid Pile Cure
has demonstrated it,
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve
or ointment. but a snppository which is
applied at night and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts both
as a local and q constitutional treat
ment. and in cases of many years
standing this treatment has been effect

Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit
ness TO the inestimable value of the

suits from few weeks treatment with
the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains oDiates or CO.

or mineral poison whatever

GAVE A CANDLE TALK.
Novel Way Rev. DR.. Pierce Illus
trated Truths Of His Sermon
in Penn Avenue Church.

Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce. d. D., pas
tor Of the Penn Avenue Baptist church,
gave an exceedingly interesting and
very ingenious object sermon last
night, taking as his topic, Shining
Truth" The sermon was illustrated
throughout with candles.
In beginning his remarks. the doc
tor stated that he was under Obliga-
tions to Spurgeon. the great English
preacher, for the inspiration both for
his candle talks" as he calls them.
and for his illustrated sermons. He
neer and greatest exeinplifier of oh
ject preaching.
He took two texts for his sermon,
Luke, xi3G, "The bright shining Of a
candle doth give thee light" and
Matt, v:l6, LIE: your light so shine
before men that they may see your
good works and glorify your Father
which Ia in heaven"
DR.. Pierce first took two unlighted
candles typifying two lives not yet
lighted with the spirit of God. He
placed their wicks together with no
result, showing, as he explained that
neither OF such lives can help the
other. He then lit one Of the candles
with a match or "a light from with
out" as he expressed it. and then lit
the second candle with this. drawing
the lesson that every one should try
to light up other lives when theirs
had been lighted up with the spirit of
God.
Another lesson he drew from the
lighted candle was that it got right
down to business as soon as 1t had
been lit and kept burning right along
in what he termed striking contrast
to some Of our modern Christians who
sit sometimes for Ave years before
they think OF letting Gods spirit work
within them"
DR.. Pierce spoke OF selhshness and
OF how 30 many Christians live for
themselves and themselves only. The
result Of such living he illustrated by
placing . wooden box over one OF the
lighted candles. representing the house
In which such people dwell When this
box had been removed the fame Of
the candle was extinguished. Just as
that persons light will 60 out
Another forceful illustration was that
of the way q broken. wrecked life
can be saved. This was typified by a
broken and dirty candle. which the
speaker picked from the floor When
the light OF another candle in another
life had touched It IL fiared up bright
ly and blazed as strongly as the 9TH
ers, showing that 1t only needs the
softening influence of Christian life
to bring back many of the stray sheep
on the highways OF life.
These are but a very few of the
many illustrations drawn from can
dies by DR.. Pierce and the congrega-
tiop realised when he had finished that.

WEEK OF SPECIAL DEvoT1oNs.
Remarks Concerning It Made by
Rev. G. M. Gifin, d. d.

Rev. @. M. Gifan, d. d.
Rev. G. NJ. Giftin started in the week
Of special devotions. recommended by
the bishops OF the Methodist Episcopal
church, in the Elm Park church yes
terday, with all the intensity which
could be demanded by the most urgent
necessity. Yesterday morning he
spoke earnestly Of the great call made.
and announced that i'm view of the
really wonderful trumpet call made TO
the church, that he felt the sermon
he had prepared on the subject was
far too feeble in comparison with thu
appeal to be delivered and he there
fore proposed to read the great docu-
ment. as he was certain many of the
congregation had not seen it.
Accordingly he read the now famous
paper, signed by Bishops Fowler,
Joyce and Ninde. and which everyone
familiar with the superb oratorical
diction Of Bishop c. II. Fowler recog-
nizes as his own. 1t was heard with
the deepest interest and in it's devo-
tional feeling and eloquent intensity
could not but appeal to every listener,
More especially it referred to the
spiritual power OF old which worldll-
ness In the church is crowding out.
In connection with the call made for
a week Of fasting and prayer. begin
ming with March 25. DR.. CHM said
that the daily service would be held
every evening, Saturday excepted, and
he urged the faithful attendance Of all
members Of the congregation. As re-
CARDS the fasting recommended he re.
marked that no doubt many people
who not only went to excess in eating,
but In everything else they did. would
be far better for little abstinence;
there were others who. by reason Oe
delicacy Of constitution. should be ex.
empt from such a duty.
He believed that II everyone gave up
some thing to which he was accus-
toned or which he did. the refraining
from which meant self denial. the sac
rihce thus made would be all that the
Lord or the bishops required.

GRATEFUL TO THEM,

Rev. Jones added that he was crate.
ful for the many kindnesses received

Rev. d. d. Hopkins. pas tor of the
First Welsh Baptist church, was the
second speaker, and after congratu.
iating the pastor and people, said thu
OBJECT OF the people in building the
tabernacle was to show that God was
IN the work. A Christian must be
Christ-like in character motive, prin-
ciple and everyday life In order to
succeed. We are in need of an out
pouring OF the Holy Spirit on this con-
tineEt, but I am afraid that there Is
100 much Of that "undefined some
thing in the people called selfishness.
We must help others to love Christ.
The weak point in the church todav
is the lack of sincerity. The Chris.
tian life is not real enough. This is
a place to worship God. and tine peo-
pie should not worship the building
thousands believe today that unless
they 90 to certain places they cannot
worship God. but Jesus settled that
question for all time when he said
we cannot worship unless In spirit and
