Time-Its Value.

Time is a precious gift. Tell its
value if you can. But, like the most
common blessings of our daily life
the air We breathe and the water we
drink-by its constant enjoyment it
often becomes least appreciated.
There will come a moment, we may
not know just when, we may not
know just how soon-it may be to-.
morrow, it may be next year-there
will come a moment when life will
find itself hastily shaking off the gar
ment of mortality to put on the gar
ments of immortality, and the soul
that has been sleeping on in flattered
security will wake up only to offer
worlds for one more day and fail to
buy it.
Time is Gods own gift to man
Time affords opportunities for get
ting good and doing good. These
opportunities improved make the
soul rich on earth and glorious
through all eternity. But these op-
portunities not improved leave the
soul to feed on the husks of vanity
here, and then thrust it down to
waste away amid the cravings of an
everlasting want beyond the grave.
Time is that little space allotted to
man through which he may pass up
to be the companion of angels and
his Creator, God; or through which
he may 60 down to the regions Of
darkness. the abode of spirits lost.
Time is like An hour glass filed with
golden grains of sand. As each
sparkling mite falls through. it may
add one hour to a noble Christian
life here and glorious Immortality
in heaven; or it may subtract one
hour from the little space that sepa.
rates between a life of sin on earth
and the torments of that hell "where
the worm dieth not and the FIRE is
not quenched."
The first great reason why we
should redeem the time is that in
our lives We may honor God because
He is our Creator; because He is our
Redeemer; and because it is our
highest honor to honor Him.
We should redeem the time that
We may bless humanity. We who
are on the earth to-day are living in
the midst of active stirring times.
We look out over this glorious coun-
try Of ours, where there is intelli-
gence, light, knowledge and free.
dom; where blessings heavenly and
divine have been so bountifully be-
slowed; and We cannot but thank
God for this land Of liberty; and fol-
the peace and unity and iar-reachine
prosperity that now smile upon il.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and graz dmothers never
thought of using anything else for indi
sgestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard of appendicitis. nerv-
Gus prosration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undIgested food,
regulate The action OF the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the sys-
tenn, and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need a few doses OF

The grip has surprised the doctors

it Is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either a fatal onset of

an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is proven

morning. The warships in the harbor
were manned and dressed. The sun
shone brightly, and the crowds were

filing the terraces and ramparts COM
manding a view Of the harbor. The
approach of the Ophir was heralded
when she was still Is miles distant
by salute from a fotilla of 10 tor

to meet her. She entered the harbor
amid salvos of artillery from st. An

After receiving the officials, the

that the new trust is unfavorable to

This agitation will be along the
line of compelling the corporation to
restrict it's Minnesota operations to
what it may do in New Jersey, where
1t was formed. Its railways to the ore
regions would not be allowed under
its ownership in New Jersey, but they
