A Faithful and Successful Pastor.

The Ohio Baptist state paper-Journal
and Messenger under date of July 20,
1900. speaks of Rev. Franks. Lyons pas
torate in Cleveland, as follows:
On Sunday, the Goth inst, Rev. F. s.
Lyon, pastor of the Cedar Avenue Church,
will preach his farewell sermon, closing
faithful and successful pastorate of
about eight and half years. The ordi.
nance Of baptism will also be administer
ed 10 number of converts. Pastor Lyon
came from Tiffin, O., in April, 1892. At
that time the church had reached crisis
in it's history, and it required great cour-
age to face future full Of uncertainty.
Under circumstances peculiarly delicate
and trying he proved his tact and wisdom
and won the love and esteem OF wide
circle, reaching far beyond the limits of
his own church. The years that are past
have been years Of earnest toll and full of
trial, but of substantial growth and de-
velopment as well for both pastor and
people. Pastor Lyon has been promi-
nent in Cleveland and in the Cleveland
Association. 1t is worthy of note that
his call to larger field at Owosso, Mich,
came in the most natural and unthougbt
OF way. The pastor and his family will
go out from US with deep and earnest
wishes for their welfare and with loving

Ghosts would frighten many people who

could be magnified to size In proportion to
its deadliness it would show like giant
python, or firebreathing dragon. The one
fact to remember is that the germ is power
less to harm the body when the blood is
pure. 1t is far easier to keep the germ out
than to drive it out after 1t obtains hold In
the system. DIR. Pierces Golden Medical

LILIES.

Lilies white lilies, ye calm my soul,
For the waters are wild and the billows roll,
And love and trust have drifted away
Like the distant sail on the breast Of the bay.
In a moment more twill have driftcd from sight
And be hidden away in the waste Of night
And then ye came with your pure sweet gaze,
With your dainty, winsome, loving ways,
And crept like dear dream into my heart
could not bear to send thee apart,
For the fragrance that floats on your balmy
breath
To ne whispers "peace," though the world calls
II death.
