THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But
many people cannot afford to rest
indefinitely. Worse still, the very
knowledge that they cannot, serious
ly interferes with the best use of the
rest they have. Too often going to
the doctor means that the patient
shall stop short, while cares and
duties and expenses continue, 49,
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.
Drs. Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen Treatment presents an easy
way out of the dilemma; it has done
so for more than a score of years
aud for more than three score thous-
and people, The agent used is the
Compound Oxygen. The method
puts it where it will do the most good
in the lungs. The treatment nei-
ther interferes with business nor
pleasure, This simple thing has
made muItitudes of rundown, over
worked. nervous and sick people as
good as new. For further particu-
lars send for book of 200 pages sent

ening through all EUROPE, wid-
ening through America, wlden-
ing throurh the 1913 years that have
gone since he died, widening through
the earth. widening through the great
future, until at last the accumulated
influence Of his baleful teachings ana
dissolute life will beat against his dis
mayed spirit, and at that moment IL
will be enough to make the black hair
OF eternal darkness turn white with
horror. No one can tell how that bad
mans influence girdled the earth Save
the one who is seated on the circle OF
the earth. the Lord Almighty.
Gods Omnipotent Mercy.
"Well. now" say some, this IN
some respects is a very glad theory
and In others a very bad one. We
would like to have the good we have
ever done come back to us, but tho
thought that all the sins we have ever
committed will come back to us, nils
us with alright" My brother, I have
to tell you God can break that circle
and will do SO at your call. I can
bring twenty passages Of Scripture to
prove that when God for Christ's sake
1orglves a man the sins Of his past
life never come back. The wheel may
roll on and IN, but you take your
position behind the cross, and the
wheel strikes the cross and Is shatter-
ed forever. The sins fly OF from the
circle INT fall at right angles with
complete oblivion. Forgiven! For
given! The meanest thing a man can
do Is. after some difficulty has been
settled. to bring it up again, and God
will not do anything like that. Gods
memory is mighty enough to hold all
the events of the ages, but there is one
thing that Is sure to slip his memory,
one thing he is sure to forget, and that
Is pardoned transgressions. How do I
know 1t? I will prove it. "Their sins
and their %iniquities 1 will remember
no more" Blessed is he whose tran.
gression is forgiven"
But every circumference must have
a center. and what is the center Of this
heavenly circumference? Christ-his
all the glory. his all the praise, his all
the crowns, all heaven wreathed into
a garland round about him. Take OF
the imperial sandal from his foot and
behold the scar Of the spike. Lift the
coronet Of dominion from his brow
and see where was the liberation Of
the briers. Come closer, all heaven
Narrow the circle around his great
heart. o Christ. the Savior, o Christ!
tho man. o Christ, the God, keep thy
throne forever, seated on the circle Of
the earth. seated on the circle o1
heaven!
On Christ, the solid rock. T stand;
All other ground is shifting sand.
