UNION SUNDAY SCHOOL
PICNIC TO THE DELLS

There has been some little talk OF a
Union Sunday School picnic
uniting the different Sabbath schools
of this city and getting rates from one
of our numerous railroad companies
that will not be prohibitary to large
attendance. 1t is supposed that every
child or Sunday school scholar in
Grand Rapids is entitled to at least
one days outing in the year and it is
difficult to comprehend how that day
could be spent to more pleasure and
profit than trip to the Dells. A
special train can be secured from the
ST. Paul railroad company leaving our
city any time when we may see lit.
say at I a. M, and returning from
Kilbourn whenever we wish. BY
leaving there at 5 p. m. the train
would reach Grand Rapids at or.S:30.
There is no part of the state that
would afford children and parents
better days outing than the Dells
of the Wisconsin.
The time was and not so many years
ago when it would be useless to talk
union even for single day with the
Sabbath school of our city, but that
day has gone by and we are really
living in a age of unions
Surprising we think and talk it
over.

The Other Fellows Opinion.

There was time when everybody
thought the earth was fat. 1t was
public opinion. But the earth was
just as round then as it is today. PUP
lie opinion could not fatten it the SIX
teenth part of an inch.
Alas. the average human being is
not SO fortunate. Public opinion can
and does fatten him as if he We. e
wax in its hands.
But now and then some man stands
up in his boots and refuses TO be
fattened. He does not wish to be
just like everybody else. He seeks to
rise above the dead level of things.
Public opinion resents his imperti-
hence and tries to flatten him. 1t
calls him dreamer, a doctrnair,
crank. But he will not down. By
and by others see the principle for
which he stands, and a few take their
stand with him. And then the crowd
follows and the maligned crank of
yesterday becomes the honored leader
of today.
In he intellectual growth of the
world it is too much to expect that
the multitude will keep up with the
leaders of thought Whenever the
leaders permit the crowd to catch up
with them, we. may know that the
leaders are not advancing very rapidly
The overwhelming error of mankind
is that it thinks everyone is wrong
who differs from its way OF thinking
1t is narrow where it means to be wise.
The man who would teach us new
truths is the man who we would
destroy.
Ii We have little in us we can see
but little in the other fellow. Emer-
son says that if you take trip to
Europe and bring much home with
you it is because you took much there
with you. You may get more real
enlightenment and inspiration out OF
clash of opinions than out of trip
to Europe, but you must have much
to put into it, and the main thing to
put into it is tolerance.
Ii you are to regard the other
fellows politics, his religion, his views
regarding everything as all wrong be-
| cause they differ from yours, you will
get little from him but distress of
temper. If you set your own opinions
up like the quilts of an angry porcu-
pine you cannot hope to get near to his
heart or mind.
He is just as likely to be right as
| you are.

The Old Plantation,

That the public will appreciate a
clean, wholesome and interesting
play. devoid of the "blood and thun-
der" that are considered essential to a
successful play, is amply exemplified
in the manner in which Trayers-
Vale'S latest romance. "The Old
Plantation, is being received. AS
sweet as magnolia blossoms and pure
as the snowy cotton in this heart
story of the south. There are many
strong and stirring dramatic climaxes
cleverly woven in this welcome pro-
duction. The scenic effect are out of
the ordinary. Those Of the old cotton
fields during picking time, the vision
of the execution on the battle field of
Chicamagua, and the escape from a
Georgia prison, are especially fine. At
the Grand opera house tomorrow
night, June Is.

DIR. F. B. Brewer.

"This celebrated physician has
continued to visit this city regularly
for many years, and many and
remarkable are the cures which he
has effected. He is hailed everywhere
by the afflicted as the 'harbinger of
glad tidngs, for through him they
see almost sure relief from disease.
Few and far between are the cases
which he does not relieve. If he
becomes convinced that he cannot
help patients, he plainly tells them SO,
instead of doctoring them for the sole
purpose of getting their money, like a
majority of physicians. The people
of this vicinity have become too we'll
acquainted with DR.. Brewer fer him
to need enconiums at our hands"
DR.. Brewer makes his next visit for
consultation with persons suffering
from throat, lung. heart, kidney or
other chronic ailments, at the Dixon
Hotel on Thursday, June 30.

OLD AND NEW WAY
Hyomei the Latest Scientific Discovery for
the Cure of Catarrh,

ho SutC VI OdtdAIu
The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment Of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the
improvement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a
balsamic air that goes into the
minutest cells. effectually killing all
germs and microbes of catarrh. 1t
enters the blood with the oxygen.
killing the germs in the blood, and
restores health to the whole system.
Many astonishing testimonials have
been received from those who have
been cured by Hyonei.
A complete outfit costs but sI.0O.
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that John E. DAILY had so much faith
in Hyomei that he sells .every
package under positive guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei.
