A ONE-lIINUTE SERMON.

Thomas Huxley, the great doubter,
once attempted to attack the doctrine
! of Infinite Wisdom by declaring that ii
| the regulation of the weather were plac-
! ed in the hands of a joint high commls-
sion, the world would be a much more
comfortable dwelling place. On its face
this looked like wise saying, ana there
were people who accepted 1T as true.
But, as a matter of fact, Huxley was
wrong-HuXley the man whose praln
at that time was greater than the brain
of any other living man.
The rainy day has its mission and SO
have the storm, the flood, the tornado
and the lightning. 1t there were an
endless succession of perfect days man
kind would degenerate. There would be
10 need to lay up stores for the rainy
day, there would be no need to work Tor
a house and home, there would De no
incentive whatever to useful efforts.
The human animal is built very much
like a mule. He needs adversely to make
him worthy of life. The Schoolboy must
be disciplined, the grown man must pc
battered by misfortune. The tornado
which lifts mans house and bangs 1t
to pieces teaches him to fortlfy hlmself
against the tornadoes of the future
Man, in order to deserve having the
IN" made capital letter, must meet
misfortune. He must be stricken, pat-
tered, dubbed, tortured, attacked from
the rear. He must encounterlnJustlce,
tyranny, oppression. And he must be
comforted through it all by the know
ledge that the Eand which gives INN
blow will follow it with a caress, that
the glorious blue sky is behind the c.oud
and the Storm Herald.

an impression got into the minds OF
men that his selection was an lndlcatlon
that the machine intended him TOT
Governor Hills successor. He surprls-
ed the convention with his forensic
ability when he nominated Charles +.

the same season gave additional proof
that speechmaking was among his ac-

nomination of Gov. Hill.

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

With mans limited abilities he may
not comprehend the watch over every
sparrow that falls to the ground, but
lie has some knowledge OF the wise pro.
visions for everything that follows and
obeys the divine laws of nature. The
trees rounded growth protects it from
injury that might come to sharp corners;
it's buds are shielded in their infancy
by soft and coddling folds such as no
millionaire baby can ever enjoy; the
tiny wren is Heavens ward during
winters cold and is guided to some
coy, hidden spot i'll which to build its
home.
And to man, who alone fails to obey
divine laws, there is granted knowl-
edge of the sublimest fact in all the
scheme of creation-that God is love"
In pity and in love He bends His ear
to hear the heart-throbs Of sin-stricken,
suffering man, who in faith and hope
NAV lift his vision above decay and
death and see the sunlight of Gods
eternal love shining upon the domeS
and turrets of the Eternal City.
This is greater than church or creed.
1t banishes the brutality of fire and
birthstone. 1t appeals to the only
qualities in man that can make him
happy here or hereafter.
1t illumines the pathway and llghtens
the burden; it puts sweetness INTO our
words and songs in our hearts. 1t en-
abes us to see that in this grim world
there is much that is good and much
that is beautiful and sends us happier on
the way.-Baltimore Herald.

CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
nd of this poisonous acid which produces The
irritations, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without

cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and

He has many friends in this town who

William T. Cobb was born in Rock
land. July %, 1857. His father, Francis
Cobb. was one of the chief builders OF
Rockland's lime industry, settling there
when he was 16 years old. After grad
Mating from BoWdoin College Mr.. Cobb
studied two years at the universities OF
Ie;psic and Berlin. Returning to this
country he spent year i'll the Harvard
law school, entered the law office OF
Rice & Hall at Rockland, and was adj
mitted to the Knox County bar in 1891.
His father wished him to engage III

manufacture of lime, the building OF

iirm was known as Cobb, Wight & Co.,
and with it he remained until 1885
when he allied himself with the Cobt
Lime Corporation, which undertook the
shipment of lime on broad scale.
He was conspicuously identified, with
other business men, in the organization

Nearly all railroad men are subjected to
two kinds of trouble-rheumatism and
kidney diseases. Being out in all kinds
of weather, with little protection from
rain, sleet or snow, their blood quickly
becomes thin, and rheumatic aches take
possession of the body. Statistics show
that larger percentage of Bright's dis
ease victims are among trainmen than
any other class. The humanitarian work
of'Blood Wine" in curing hesestubborn
diseases, has called forth statements of
gratitude from all over the country. Mr..
Dan A. Metzel, of POP South Eighth ST.,
Terra Haute, Ind, an engineer, says:
"For some years was greatly troubled with

There is only one way to cure rheuma-
