81 FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward u
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event of married life! The young
wife who is to become a mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon hei
breast and latterly she shall hear It Lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear Of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipetes her joyfulness.
Thousands of women hsve learned
by experience that there II absolutely
no necessity for the ~sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use Of Mothers Friend"-bDcien-
tific liniment-for q few weefs before
the trying hour, expectant ma N can
SO prepare themselves for de final
hour that the pain and suffering Of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
It is safely passed through with com.
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such a remedy ; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing Of the dan.
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth.
er's Friend is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman

ready to believe that the New Tesla
ment is from the heart of Christ, but
how about the Old Testament? Why
do you believe that?" 1 believe the Old
Testament because the prophecies fore
told events hundreds and thousands of
years ahead-events which afterward
took place. How far can you see
ahead? Two thousand years? Can
you see ahead a hundred years? Can
you see ahead five minutes? No, no.
Human prophecy amounts to nothing.
Here these old prophets stood thou
sands of years back, and they foretold
events which came accurately true far
on in the future centuries. Suppose I
should stand here and say to you,
twenty-five hundred and sixty years
from now, three miles n a half from
the city Of Moscow, there will be an ad-
vent, and it will be in a certain family,
and it will be amid certain surround
ingS." 1t would make no impression
upon you because you know I cannot
foresee a thousand years or one year or
one minute, and I n M tell what is
going to transpire in a and far away.
But that is what these old prophets did.
PROPHECIES FULFILLED.
You must remember tina Tyre and
Babylon and Nineveh were in full pomp
and splendor when these prophecies,
these old prophecies, said they would be
destroyed. Those cities had architec-
ture that make the houses of modern
cities perfectly Insignificant. Yet these
old prophets walked right through
those magnificent streets and said:
This has all got to come down. This
Is all going to be leveled."

tnese cities today and say, There will
