In Memory of Mrs. Bette Kirk.

/ One of Number Three's mobiles
and most devoted Christian wemer
answ ered the summons to the great
white throne on July 10. Mrs
Kirk was sick for several weeks
with that dreadful disease, catarrh
Of the stomach, but she bore her
sickness with the greatest patience.
She never murmured and was the
sweetest and most cheerful sick
person we have ever seen. She
was married to Mr.. D. D. Kirk at
an early age and was dear loving
wife to her husband and mother to
her children.
One has gone that will be sadly
missed by many; she is our loss
but Heavens gain. A dear one
has gone, the sweet voice is still.
There is a vacant chair at home
which never can be filled.
To her husband, three children
and friends who linger behind we
say sorrow not tor the departed;
her work is done, and she has gone
to rest; walk in her footsteps that
you may hope to see her where
there will be no more death.
! pray the blessings OF God upon
the bereaved ones. Her remains
were laid to rest in Antioch Gene
terry. Rev. Hardin conducted the
service. The hearthstone is va
cant, the homestead is drear, the
loved one is gone who on earth was
most dear. Her voice is now silent,
her work is all done. but her life Of
is just now begun.
A FRIEND.

Cuban Diarrhoea

U. S. soldiers who served in Gu
ba during the Spanish war, know
what this disease is, and that or
binary remedies have little more
effect than so much water. Gu
ban diarrhoea is almost as severe
and dangerous as a mild attack
of cholera. There is one remedy,
however, that can always be de-
pended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs, of Houston, Texas /:
sI hereby certify that Chamber
lain s Collie Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, cured my husband of a
severe attack Of Cuban diarrhoea,
which he brought home from Gu
ba. We had several doctors but
they did him no good. One bot
tie of this remedy cured him, as
our neighbors will testify. l thank
God for so valuable a medicine. :"

Hind without Christ.

The world without Jesus Christ would
be spiritually blind, and it has been the
church's mission throughout the centu-
cies to direct the eyes Of men from sin
and wickedness and turn them into the
true light. 1t is the mission Of every
man who processes Christianity to lift
up the fallen, visit the sick and help
the unfortunates. 1t Is great work,
but there is great reward for faithful
service and a great punishment for
faithlessness. Rev. George Banks,
Presbyterian, Lawrence. Kan.
