The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work Of demon within a man.
ANY one who has had an attack of sciatic
or inAammatory rheumatism will agree
that the inhiction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimo'
ny to the truth of this statement. One
application relieves the pain, and this
Quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale by

Katie Greever.

Katie Greever, daughter of j. II
Greeyer and granddaughter of Rev. J. J
! Greever, deceased, was born February
10Th, 1888, died May 10th, 1900. A short
sentence and yet between those words
"born" and "died," is contained the his
tory of her sweet, young life. She suf'
fered about week from an attack OF scar
etifever, and, although several physicians
and many friends did all in their power to
relieve her, she had to succumb to that
dreadful disease. The grief of the par
ents must be great in the loss Of such an
obedient, afftctionate daughter. Their
Heavenly Father has given them the
spirit of resignation to His will, and they
say with Job, "The Lord gave and the
Lord hath taken away, blessed be the
name of the Lord" l have no set phrase
Of eulogy for her, but wish to give express
sion to fragmentsry thoughts, which have
presented themselves to my mind when
considering her death. Here was quiet,
uneventful life and only her nearest ac'
quaintances really knew her.
Ruskin has said "The best women
are indeed necessarily the most difficult
to know, they are recognized chiefly in
the happiness of their families, they are
only to be OWNED, not discerned, ty the
sti anger and sometimes seem almost help
less except in their homes" 1t ID these
quiet lives, to duty wed, which prove such
factors in influencing the world.
1t is not the great things occasionally
done, but the little every day duties faith
fully performed, which make the home
happy and through that the nation
Would that we could realize the power Of
silent influence, which, like the fragrance
of the modest violet, is difused on all
around.
"Do not make use of extraordinary OPP
portunities for good actions, but make
use of common situations.
"Do what you can,
Not what you cannot,
Not what you think ought to be done,
Not what you would like to do if you
had more time,
Not what somebody else thinks you
ought to do,
At an early age she was confirmed In
the Lutheran Church in which she had
been baptized in infancy. She was not
simply member of the church, but her
life proved the sincerity of her profession.
The night before her death she sang in a
sweet, clear voice, "What friend we
have in Jesus" and we have the assur-
ance that this Friend, who sticketh closer
than brother, was with her to the end,
and that He bore her safely over the dark
river of death to the mansions of Glory
We say "death" but Jesus saith, "She
seepeth."
When the sky was irradiated with the
setting sun she was called home. Just as
the sun set in the west and was lost from
our view for the night, yet rose again IN
renewed brilliancy in the morning, 80
we may confidently expect her glorious
resurrection, for Jesus Christ has become
the first fruits of them that slept.
"For the Lord himself shall descend
from Heaven with shout, with the voice
of an archangel and with the trump Of
God, and the dead in Christ shall rise
first. Then we which are alive and dC
remain shall be caught up together VIII
them in the clouds to meet the Lord II
the air and so shall we ever be with the
Lord. Wherefore comfort one another
with these words"

out Foundatlon-Relief Of Mafe-

hon-Baden.Powell to be
Major General.

London, May 21.-The Associated
Press is able to say that no message from
President Kruger, direct or indirect, has
recently been received by Lord Salisbury
or by any department of the British gov
eminent; nor, it may be added, is any
communication from him dealing with the
question of the cessation of hostilities ex'
pected by them in the immediate future.
The proximity of peace, according to the
government point of view, will remain a
matter of military progress. How soon
the latter may bring about the former is
still too supposititious for a serious fore
cast on the part of any government official.
The consensus of opinion as cleaned by
the Associated Press at the government
offices is that the Boer delegates will ex'
haust every effort in the United States be-
fore President Kruger sues directly, though
Lord Salisbury himself does not believe
that the delegates will accomplish much
in America.
1t is announced that Colonel Baden
Powell will be made major general.
Mafeking was actually relieved by Col
onel B. I. Mahon, who served in the
Dongola aud Nile expeditions With Gen
eral Kitchener.
A dispatch from Kroonstad dated Sun
day, May 20, says British convoy on itf
way to Lindley was attacked by the Boers

NORTHERN METHoDIsTs TO FAST.
Their Decreasing Numbers COmpar-
ed With the Southern Church.


ed With the Southern Church.
The recent action of the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, who, owing
to the declining membership of their
church, have set apart a week of fasting
and prayer, beginning to-day, in the hope
and confident expectation that God will
quicken the life of the members and the
awakened interest will overcome this de-
Ginning membership, is attracting wide
spread attention.
Rev. Ed F. Cook of this city was asked
If the same conditions that had prompted
this action on the part of the leaders OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church obtain in
the ranks of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. He said that they did not;
that the most recent statistical tables of
comparative church membership gives the
Methodist Episcopal Church a decrease of
nine ministers and 2l,731 members while
the Methodist Episcopal South, shows a
gain of twenty-seven ministers and in
creased membership of 1900. Comment
ing on the situation, Mr.. Cook said that
statistics were at best not always reliable
and that on such matters as those of the
relative strength of denominations their
increase and decrease, the figures of any
one year could not be implicitly believed
that such matters should be dealt with
In the statistics of decades.
Referring to the small increase of his
own denomination in comparison with
former years, Mr.. Cook said that 1t could
be accounted for in many ways. Among
the first and most probable of the causes
for the comparatively small showing of
recent years is the care with which the
records Of church membership are now
kept Whereas in former years the names
of former members might be carried on
the rolls of a church for many months
after the member had moved away from
the community or ceased in attending to
his church duties. Within the last few
years these things have been corrected
with the result that though the records
of many of the churches show decided
loss in numbers those names that are on
the list represent bona fde members.
Another reason for the decreasing men,
bership is the fact that the country dis
tricts which the the strongholds of Meth
odism are rapidly being thnned out by
the influx to the city Of the younger men,
hers of the families TO which the church
would naturally look for converts. In
the cities these persons are less approach
able, being subject 10 the influence Of
other denominations as well as the anti
church going tendencies Of city life as
COMPARED with that of the country. stu
anorher cause of the lessening acquisitions
"a the ranks in recent years is the raising
Of the standard of membership which has
gradually been going on in the South for
the last foH years. The church is no
longer willing 10 accept into its folds peo-
ME who cannot or will not conform their
lives 10 its standard.

WILLS SHOULD BE TRAINED.
Miss Baclxus' Talk tn Mothers and
Teachers About Children.

Miss Martha G.. Backus' talk to moth
ers and teachers yesterday morning was
was on the proposition that "Wil is the
power of selective attention, and attention
is involuntary in early life"
"a child's will power" Miss Backus
said. sis very weak, as the will, more than
almost any power of the mind, develops
bv training A so-caled willful child is
often a child who is so willess that he is
unable to do what is required of him, be-
cause he cannot make the effort to con-
centrate his attention. We have daily in
our stream of consciousness as prof.
James puts it, hundreds of objects com
ing up to claim our attention. 1t stands
to reason that We cannot attend to them
all. so a mature mind put will to work and
selects from these the objects one wishes
to fix in ones mind. By objects, of course,
are meant ideas as well as sense impress
sions.
Now a childs will is unframed and
therefore weak, and his attention is held
simply by the attractiveness of the object.

/ cause he feels it. to be right. Always give
the child a choice, If their is any choice,
in the matter; this does away with much
of the difficulty of discipline.
Would you rather stay at the table and
not disturb any ones work or go sit by
vourself? is a question that often averts
any form of punishment. Character is
only a perfectly trained will and comes
from a succession of choices. small and
great. which we are making all our lives.
