than it. Aside from the returns from a

one the citizens of Owosso are never asked
to pay their money for the support of the

gives value for value received. At present

before swallowing The result was he

which we're never intended to be eaten
They become costive, have bad COM

that Hosietter's Stomach Bitters cures

Corunna Avenue M. e. Church.

The morning subject at the Corunna
Avenue M. e. church was taken from
the failure of the Israelites to enter
the promised land because discouraged
by the adverse report of the ten spies.
AS the beauty OF picture depends
upon it's background SO the defeat of
unbelief may serve to magnify the
victory of faith.
The Israelites had reached the
border OF the land which they had long
looked forward to as their inheritance.
They knew that Jehovah had been
true to them thus far, but they dared
not trust him for the future. They
preferred to take report of men.
Twelve spies were sent and all agreed
that the land was everything which
God had represented it to be. But ten
Of them left God s promise Of guidance
and help out Of the account and their
report discouraged the people, and
their murmurings excluded them from
the promised inheritance. This defeat
OF unbelief calls our attention to the
victory of faith.
In the evening Rev. Fred Strong
preached an earnest sermon to large
and appreciative audience. This even
ing Rev. Linford Kirby will preach,
and Evangelist Jackson will arrive in
time to conduct the service tomorrow
