A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
II notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. Aman of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of. tPeruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that SO great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

The Debt of Love.

DR.. Newell Dwight Hills says regard
ing Gods love for His children and the
debt we owe to the influence of that
love: mo words can describe Christ's
enthusiasm for Gods children, for
whom He had fitted up a world SO
beautiful as this. Standing upon the
corner of the street. He watched the
multitude go surging by, clothed in
rags, faces wan and gaunt, scared with
passion and sin, broken-hearted and
disappointed; and watching. His heart
was moved with compassion and He
stretched out hands Of loving help.
STOPPING, He took the little child in His
arms, and in that moment His love hung
above the babe as once the star hung
above His own Manager. With eyes filled
with all-comprehending and all-com-
forting love. He sought for the prodigal
who had made his life a waste and a
desolation as others seek for a diamond
lost in the rubbish. With infinite hope
and winsome love He gazed upon the
publican and the pfodigal, as some
miner stands in the gorge that is rich
with treasures of gold that lie just be-
meath the surface. And the common
people owe their rise in happiness chief
ly to is attitude, teachings and iniu-
ence."

AN EXPERT.
He n Confidential Clerkship
Because He Could BE Very
Confidential.

Secretary Shaw says that shortly after he
assumed his duties as head OF the treasury
department he was called upon by an old
gentleman from his own state of Iowa. who
wanted an appointment as confidential clerk
to one OF the assistant. secretaries OF thatd de-
partment.
In spite Of the fact that | was very busy
at tie time says Mr.. Shaw, Il gave the
Iowan the better part Of an hour, for he was
as pleasant and entertaining an old chap as
one could meet-brigat, clipper and witty
On account of his age, the secretary felt
that ne could not comply with the request.
So, gently but firmly, De informed him that
he did not see his way clear to give him the
appointment. This did not dampen the old
gentleman's spirit in the least.
Now, sir said he, "as feel myself pecu-
liarly well qualified TO fill one of these con-
fdential clerkships, | hope that you will con-
slider my application further"
Then, wagging his mead most impressively,
he added earnestly:
"Oh, sir, | could be so CONFIDENTIAL"

opposition and has won it's way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timidity which
SO many people have felt about giving en-
~dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that SO many men of national
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
Of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on it's own merits.
Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives SO many notable and unique en-
dorsements.

Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. Oak, Dec. 1.-Two years
ago Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher Of this place
suffered a great deal with a dizziness in her
mead. She was cured of this by a remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and has not been

Shortly afterwards she had a bad bilious
attack and for this she used Diamond Dim
ner Pills and was completely cured in a
short time.
In January, 1903, she had an attack Of
Sciatlca of which she says:
Il was almost helpless with the S~ciatica,

Pills and Diamond DinnerPills had done for
me before, | commenced a treatment of
these medicines and in three weeks ] was
completely restored to health. l have
great faith in these medicines for they have
been of so much benefit to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in
Barnes County, having made a great many
splendid cures of S%ciatica, Rheumatism and

THE suffering of the disciple of Jesus
! Christ for the sake of the Gospel is
fulfllment of prophecy. Over and over
again Jesus told His followers that they
should suffer persecution. IF they have
prosecuted Me, they will also prosecute
you. The servant is not greater than
his Lord" And how the storm of perse-
cution has ragged about the church of
Jesus Christ! The prison and the stake;
torture and death; %hardships and suffer-
ings, have marked the pathway of the
Gospel through the world. The early
church felt the fiery trial and bitterest
opposition, until the religion of Jesus
Christ was p~opularized by the Roman
emperor. Then came a new persecution
to the true disciples of Christ from with

WITH sublime contempt he utterly
w ignores those who had so cruelty
tortured his body and sees only Jesus.
He knows that nothing can harm him
and no one lay hand upon him, except as
his Master permits, and save as it shall
be to His glory and the advancement of
the Gospel. Therefore when the Jews
beat him, he sees Jesus and rejoices in
Him; when the rods of the heather fall
upon him, he knows each stroke will
make the light of Jesus shine brighter
and farther into the darkness; when he
is stoned, he rises up to bless; when he
is imprisoned, he sings. for Jesus is with
him. The marks in his body were the
marks of the Lord Jesus-not those of
the raging mobs at Jerusalem, at Lystra,
at Ephesus. at Thessalonica; not those
of the magistrate and jailor at Philippi.
1t was Jesus, his Master and Lord. mark
ing his body for the furtherance of the
blessed Gospel which he preached. Each
stroke, each trial and hardship deepened
the proof of his discipleship. 1t was full
fllment of the promise and prophecy of
Jesus; it was proof of Divine favor; it
was the evidence of fellowship with
Him; it was the making complete of the
sufferings of Christ.

A ND persecution is the evidence of
n Divine fellowship-fellowship in
His suffering. The only way you
really car know and understand the
pain of your friend who has undergone
an operation is to feel the cut of the
surgeons knife yourself. There is a
fellowship between your friend and
the one lying on the cot next to his at
the hospital that you and he cannot en-
JOY unless you, too. have suffered SIM
ilarly. Here is a mother bowed in
grief over the loss of her little one.
Her friend comes in to speak the word
of comfort, bat she herself has never
known such sorrow. Something is
lacking to make her sympathy COM
plete. But here comes a mother whose
little one has gone and left the heart
and the home oesolate. She sits in
silence by the side of the weeping
mother. The pressure of her hand is
felt. No word is spoken, but they both
understand. There is a fellowship of
suffering and each is comforted by the
thought that the other knows and I'M
derstands. We are entering the sacred
| precincts of the inmost heart when we
speak of the fellowship of suffering,
! we are treading on sacred ground, and
| believe that every n of the marks
in Paul's body brought him nearer to
his blessed Lord and his Lord nearer
to him. In his letter to the Philip
plans he says: 81 count all things
but loss, for the excellency of the
knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:
for whom | have suffered the loss of
all things. and do count them but
dung, that l may win Christ, :.
and that l may know Him, and the
power of His resurrection, and the fell
lowship of His sufferings, being made
comfortable unto His death" He
longed to suffer that he might come
to know something of what Christ had
suffered for him. AS he felt the
scourging he could know something of
the pain Jesus suffered at the cruel
hands of Pilates soldiers. AS the
hatred and scorn of his enemies were
heaped upon him he could know some
thing of the ignominy and shame
which Jesus had borne for him. Every
scar on his body made the fellowship
| Of his Lord closer and dearer. Do you
want to begin to know something of
what Jesus has suffered for you?
You must begin to suffer for Him.

THE soldier bearr with honor the scars
l which he has won in battle. The
empty sleeve or trouser leg, the dis
figured face and form through which the
shot and shell have plowed their ugly
burrows, are eloquent tribute to the serv-
ice which has been rendered. The soldier
is proud of that empty sleeve, OF that bull
let wound. Paul, too, was proud OF his
scars. but it was with no spirit of boast
fitness that he pointed to the cruel evil
dences in his body CT his warfare in the
Gospel. He was proud of them and calls
attention to them because they were the
visible evidences of the presence OF the
Lord Jesus in his life. In the same
breath with which he declared that he
bore in his body the marks of the Lord
Jesus" he had exclaimed: God for
bid that | should glory saw in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christi" and it was
because those marks were an expression
in his life of the cross and sufferings Of
Jesus that he gloried. To him it was one
of the proofs of his discipleship. AS in
those days the slave was branded with
the mark or initials of his owner, so
was Paul. 1t was his pride to count him.
