LESSON THOUGHTS.
Love is the best gift because without it
all the rest are worthless; while, having
this gift, it will inspire all the rest.
Our knowledge is limited and our in
sight into truth is incomplete, but our
love may be entire; indeed, unless we
love with the whole heart this gilt loses
it's value with God.
Love is what we are; gifts, what we
have. We are loving; we have kno Wedge.
Love implies character. Gifts do not.
SELECTIONS.
Our God is love; and all his saints
His image bear below;
The heart with love to God inspired,
With love to man will glow
Teach us to love each other, Lord,
AS we are loved by thee;
None who are truly born by God
Can live in enmity
An ocean steamer pressing in the face
OF wind and wave is an inspiring sight.
Where is the power that imp,ls it? We
find it far below the decks, in the throb-
bling engine. So christian has his i'm
polling power within, in christian love.
Love is the secret of christianity, the
inspiration of character, the motive that
leads to the sacrifices the trials, and the
trumphs of the gospel.
Light is something more than the sum
of all its ingredit nts-a glowing, daz-
cling, tremulous h.r. And love is some
thing more than all its elements-a pal
pitating, quiverng, sensitive, living thing.
By synthesis OF all the virtues men can
make virtue, they cannot make love.
1t is not the deed we do,
Though the deed. be never so fair,
But the love that the dear Lord looketh for
Hidden with holy care
In the heart of the deed so fair.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Blest be the tie that binds
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove.
Is the cruise of comfort failing!
1t passeth kno Wedge, that dear love OF thine
More love to thee, y Christ
Search me, O Lord, and try this heart OF mine

DIR. Miles Nervine Did
Relieve and Cure.

"The doctor tried but couldn't relieve me"
is phrase commonly met with in the letters
we receive from grateful patients. The
reason is plain: The doctor tries to cure the
symptom and neglects the disease, In all
cases of chronic headache, nervousness,
weakness, general debility, dizzy spells, loss
of appetite inability to sleep, lack OF energy
loss of flesh, lack of interest, morbid tend
encies hysteria, the disease is a nervous dis
order and some means must be taken to
strengthen and restore the nervous system.
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is performing
wonders every day and will cure you as 1t
has thousands of others. Read how quickly
it acted in the follow ng case:
"a few years ago I was greatly troubled
with nervousness and indigestion. While at

The departure of Rev. Whit. will

that the loss to the church here by
their departure will be gain to the
