lCOyTINUEO,I


In this connection it must be stated
that the spiritual life Of Southport was
Of a primitive description. The small
implanted church at the Cape, above
which hung diminutive bell, was the
only place. of worship, and to this every
other Sunday came minister from the
mainland, 1t was furnished with long
wooden settees and a small cottage or
gan graced the platform, upon which
an antique desk did duty as pulpit and
storage place for hymn books. Four
wall bracket lamps lighted this room
for evening service. and their usually
smoky chimneys lent depressing eff
feet to all eyhortation. Mandy Oaks
presided at the organ and turned Cos
pei hymns into wheeZy and rather long
drawn out melodies Most Of the audi
ence tried to chase the tunes along and
imagined they were singing. which per-
haps is all that is necessary. On the
Sundays between the minister's visits
only evening services were held and ev-
cry Thursday evening prayer meet
ing. 1t Was on these latter occasions
that Deacon Oaks was in conspicuous
evidence. The Widow Leach, poor
unfortunate woman who had seen bet
ter days and in whose poverty stricken
life religion was the only consolation,
was also prominent, and her testimony,
unvarying in tenor as the tunes played
by Mandy. helped to fill out the serv-
ice.

at church. as he had originally con-
tributed his share when that edifice
was built. his lack of piety was for

what they profess, and so it was in

weakened and broken down by reason Of
the terrible curse of Catarrh This dis.
case is inhammatory in its nature and is
very liable to affect the membranes and
tissues of any vital organ or part of the
system and produce results which cause
a lifetime Of suffering and regret
Men of science and students of medi-
cine have tried in vain for years to find
positive cure, but it has remained for
one living IN our own generation to fin
ally discover what he claims to be a Ger.
tain remedy for Catarrh of any organ of
the body. His claims are vouched for
by the words of hundreds of people whose
honesty cannot be doubted people who
have suffered for years and tried every
other known re N edy without avail:
people who had not faith at first but
were finally cured and convinced of the
wonderful power of this new discovery
in medical science
The famous physician to whom the
credit belongs for this wonderful devel-
opment and addition to twentieth-cent-
ury science is DIR. j. A. TOMAS, ooS
Fredericksen Bldg, South Bend, Ind.
He will send anyone who is suffering from
Catarrh free treatment TO prove the
merits and wonderful curative properties
of this new discovery. Readers are re-
quested to describe their case when writ.
ing to the doctor for the Free Treatment.
If you have any other disease, pain or
affection besides Catarrh, write the doctor
about it and he will send free treatment
tor that also at the same time he sends
you the Free Treatment for Catayrb,
