THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
READING FOR THE QUIET HOUR
WHEN THE SOUL INVITES ITSELF.


Poem: A Faith Song, by Ernest G. Welles
ley-Wesley-There is Nothing So On
lovely as a Selfish, Isolated Life-Th
Necessity Of Inter-Dependence.
My path He knows, one step aside
My feet shall never stray.
His voice / hear who is my guide,
| follow in His way.
And as l step where He doth lead,
Supply doth He my every need;
He keeps me day by day.
Ny path He knows; each step is bright
With love and light divine;
By faith walk /, and not by sight,
| on His arm recline;
Sustained am !; by His great might
He guards me in the darkest night;
He whispers, Thou art Mine"
My path He knows, my heart must sing;
No foe my life shall fear.
Each hour to me rich joys doth bring,
Since He, my Lord, is near.
He will not suffer me to fall;
On Him in every doubt / call,
He never fails to hear.
My path He knows; do not see
One step before I tread;
But sure am it safe must be
To follow where I'm led.
Some day, but when do not know,
Some day my Lord will surely show
How senseless human dread.

the wife who had struggled by his side as
brave wives do in hours of darkness, came
over and flung her arms round the man and
the little child on his breast, and said,
"John, / am left" And the old grand
mother got up from her armchair by the
fire and tottered over and as in days gone
by before worry and care were born, said,
"Son, and the Lord and all His promises
are left" my God, forgive me-" ex-

The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlaln's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack of Influenza (grip), and II has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been full
ly proven In many thousands Of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger Is apprehended

there is fever and difficulty in breath

made his way to the locomotive. He
found the crews unconscious, but sue
ceeded in starting the air pump and re-
leasing the air brakes. He then backed
the train to the west end of the tun-
mel, it being all down grade, and ran 1t
TO the switch at the tunnel entrance.
The conductor. brakeman and two
women passengers were still uncon-
scious when the train passed thru Wen

But for Abbotts heroic action all on the
train might have perished The tunnel
is two miles long and has caused much
