Must Walk to North Pole.

For years have we struggled to reach
the north pole by ship. Through hard
ship and danger brave explorers have en-
deavorcd to reach the coveted spot. The
fact that the Pole is still a mystery
points to the conclusion that our method
was wrong, and lends credcnce 10 the re-
cent uttcrdncc Of a learned scientist that
we must abandon ship, copy the Esqui-
mos customs and walk to the pole. The
same cOmmonscnse reasons should be
applied to health. There is only one road
to recovery for sufferers from stomach
disorders. and that is through IIosjctter's
Stomach Bittcrs. If you have tried to
cure indigestion. constipation. dyspepsia.
liver or kidney trouble without it, YOU
have simply been on the wrong track
The Bitters will cure you.

FERVENT PRAYER.
The Topic Forclbly Presented BY
EvansenIist Brewer at the Baptist
Church.

There was good sized audience IN
the Baptist church last evening at tht
first meeting under the direction Of
Evangelist Brewer. After a bfiei
prayer and praise service led by the
pastor, the Evangelist sung very
sweetly, 'Pll go where you want me
to 60" and then spoke on the subject
Of "Fervent, Effective Prayer" This
is prayer that prevails with God and
avails for man. The disciples Of
Jesus came to him and said, lord,
teach us to pray" and Jesus taught
them the great lessons OF fervent, eff
fective prayer; secret prayer so often
neglected; formulated prayer as taught
in the disciples model prayer, gener-
ally known as the Lords prayer; I'M
fortunate prayer as illustrated by the
friend at midnight; and believing
prayer in which faith precedes sight.
The hindrances to prayer are iniQuity
in the heart, selishness In the. pur.
pose, and an unforgiving spirit. This
is the. barest outline of sermon that
was most flttingly illustrated by RET
ngious history and experience.
Mr. Brewer is a young man of fine
presence, profound conviction and elo-
quent speech; and is thoroughly con-
secrated to the work of the gospel min
istry He will give Bible readings dur
ing the entire series of meetings at
O'Clock p. m. of the following days:
Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday; and will preach at 7:45 every
evening except Saturday evening. His
subject this evening will be, mo Diff
Everybody is invited to
