rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back TO healthy SSndition will
the aches and pains cease.

The design itself is inconceivably

"The MANIAC on HANDLING"

"What a large number of shoppers
there are who never seem satisfied
with seeing a thing, but must needs
hold it, turn it upside down, inside
out as the case may be-" said woman
yesterday. "It Is women, not men,
who are given to this bad habit of
handling. A man will walk through
long asles of goods temptingly dis.
played and never venture to touch
them. Not so with women. Nothing
semes to escape their too eager hands
1t makes no difference whether they
intend to purchase or not, they never
seem able to resist the temptation to
hold these things in their hands. Silks,
satins, laces, china, glass, jewels, all
are one to them. The frailest, dainti-
est most perishable suffer alike. How
often must the heart Of the guardian
of these beautiful things quake with
fear. Fancy the condition of dainty
gown, piece of lace, delicate bit Of
silk that has been fingered by hun
dreds of not too cleanly gloved hands.
"It Is not only the shops that suffer"
she continued, "but the homes of the
friends of these maniacs on handling.
How often it is with sigh of relief
that host or hostess sees guests de-
part thankful at heart that some rare
article of vertu has come out whole

corded it. 1t Is q wise mother who

Lesson Thoughts.
Nothing can withstand the almighty
power of the Kingdom of God; even
the very gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
When Gods kingdom shall have
come In Its completeness, his shall be
the universal and only rule just as
the individual heart cannot have two
masters, the kingdom of God will
drive out everywhere the service of
mammon.
Gods kingdom Is an everlasting
kingdom, no changing monarchs, no
revised laws, for both are perfect and
eternal.
Selections.
1t has long been the boast of the
English people that the sun never sets
on the British empire. It may now
be said, with great rejoicing, that the
sun never sets on the kingdom of God
on the earth. So great were the tri-
umphs of the cross during the nine
teenth century, that Jesus reigns, in

the sun does his successive Journeys
run."-B. II. Brain.
Surely this of all times is not the
time to disbelieve in foreign missions;
surely he who despairs of the power
of the gospel to convert the world
to-day, despairs of the noontide just
when the sunrise is breaking out Of
twilight on the earth.-Phillips
Brooks.
The kingdom of God is not a mush-
room. springing up in night, we may
repoice If it is even a century plant,
blooming at the end of a hundred
years. But the promises of God can
not fail; all that he has spoken con-
cerning the triumphs of the gospel
must come to pass; and 1t Is for us
to labor on in the kingdom and pa
tience of Jesus Christ.--A j. Gordon,
