THE SEEKING CHRIST
REV. sTEwART M,ouEEN's srDJECT
 yESTERDAY MORNING.
sBehsld, I stand at the Deer and Kneck,1 Was His Text, TsksA
 iron Revelations.

At the Church of the Holy Comforter yesterday, the Rector. Rev. stewart Mo. Queen, spoke on the seeking Christ. his texts being first from Revelation. "Bc- hold, I stand at the door and knock" and second from St. Luke, The Son ef Man ts come to seek.
 Mir. Mcqueen said:
 .Thess words of Holy Scripture bring before us our Savior as the seeking Christ--Iiis permanent position towards humanity. towards us for whom He God, with divinity stamped upon us as the children of the Most High. and not as children of Satan. as children of light and not as children of dark ness. Christ here makes proclamation to all mankind everywhere and always: ''Behold. I stand at the door and kn6ckr The Son of Man is come to seek that which is lost"
 Realise who 1t Is that stands at the door. the door of our lives. our hearts. It is One that loves us with leve which knows no limit. no discourage ment. no abatement: love not regu- lated by our worth. but by our deeds. 1t is One whose arms of mercy and pity are every stretched forth from the Cross of Cavalry fin transcendent com passion and sympathy for us. His brethren. 5ofnt-hefrs with Him tt heavenly places, radiant with beauty and efulgent with light. It Is One who left His glorious station beside the Eternal Father, and. coming to earth. endured all manner of shame and hu- initiation, finally being crucified upon the cross that He might draw all men unto Himself. 1t is One who stands forth amid every generation of men. His loving invitation-with infinite yearning and tenderuess-sounding fin the ears of laboring and wearied hu. manity, Come unto Me and I will give you rest"
 Think where 1t is He procIaims: '.Be- hold. I stand at the door and knock" How suggestive the word door Note its two-fold quality. It is something which at once shuts in and shuts out. 1t shuts in the person on one side, and shuts out the person on the other side. Christ stands at the door. on the out Bide. that is. and knows. This is one phase of His dealings with us, yitaily Important. and one which we need to realise in all its bearings. For vas, numbers of persons who have a vague, half-formed, sentimental desire, admi !. ration. for Christ. vainly imagine that as sufficiert to open the door. But not SO; therefore, they are tempted to

THAT CAMP PAY.
Some Trouble With Pay Rolls For The

The money that is to be paid by the United States government for servic- es of the National Guard of this State while in camp recently at CVerton, near Birmingham has not yet been paid.

 Again, Christ is to us a seeking Christ because of our personality which He respects in all His dealings with us. Hence, His constant appeals to our reason, our will, our conscience. Now. personality is an essential part of us as beings made in the image of God. It is inherent, ingrained. inborn. We alone among the millions of living creatures have personality. There fore, when the Seeking Christ says Behold stand at the door and knock ed," it is to a personality He ad- addresses Himself. That is. He ap- peals to that quality of ours which in- dividualizes and differentiates us from every other human being. We alone, of all creatures, can say T." We alone are able to separate ourselves in thought from everybody else in the universe. We alone, with God Him. self. possess personality Indeed, only God and man are personal And so Christ comes to us as the Seeking Christ. Let us throw wide the door of our hearts and lives and bid Him enter. enter as the Savior for whom we look for salvation as the King to whom we owe obedience, as the High Priest who ever hveth to make inter- cession for us, as Gods well-beloved Son who will pronounce at the general resurrection in the last day to all who love and fear Him. saying: Come ye blessed children of My Father, receive the Kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world"

The first clubs were study clubs
all clubs are in some degree stud,
clubs, the culture idea having
been the most tenacious. The
early club, and the parlor club Of
today, would frequently devote a
season to the study of one book,

economics or epoch in history.
Their study may not have been
either profound or judioiously
chosen, but the woman herself
really believed in it, and was being
as studious as she could be easily.

did not bring ponderous dignity

STOP THAT COUGH!
Colds Lead to Catarr-Catarrh Leads to Consumption.

Miss Iillia, OF Illinois, started out
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took q course of Peruna before IL was
too late. She had caught sevaral colds,
then cough developed. She took all
sorts of cough medicines, until, as she
puts II, III sickened at the sightof them"
In four weeks Peruna had cured her Of
her catsrrh and her system was entirely
rid of It.
This is what Peruna Is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has . similar
experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption IL
catching cold. The next step is failure
to cure 1t promptly. The third step 10
the edevelopmentofe of eatarrh, which grad.
ually becomes chronic. The fourth step,
the catarrh begins to spread from the
head to the throat. The fifth step, the
caterrh spreads to the bronchial tubes
and lungs. 1t then becomes consump-
ton in its first stage.
At any time during the progress of tho
catarrh, from the first onset Of the cold
to its final settlement in the lungs, Pc
runa can be relied upon to stop the dis
ease. 1t cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become thoroughly
developed, many cases have found In
Peruna permanent cure. After they
have been given up by physicians 70 die
Of consumption Peruna has cured thems
| We have hundreds OF testimonials
that declare these facts In the most
enthusiastic language.
US. Senator John NJ. Thurston, from
Nebraska, writes the following letter
from Washington, D. O., under date Of
April 8, 1901:
az have used Peruna at various times
during the past year or two with most
satisfactory results.
att entirely relieved me from an irri-
tating cough, the result Of excessive
effort in tho Presidential campaign, and
I am firm believer In its efficacy In
any such trouhle.n---Jno. M. Thurston.
To take quieting medicines to stop
cough is absurd and harmful. Theonly
way to stop cough permanently and
without doing more injury than good is
to cure tho catarrh, which Is exactly
what Peruna does. It cures tho catarrh
Of the bronchial tubes and the cough
ceases.
At the slightest appearance of cough
a bottle OF Peruna should be taken
according to directions. One bottle In
the beginning viii do more than half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
II you do not derive prompt and sa.is-
factory results from the use OF Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving .
full statement Of your case, and he win
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
