A Prosperous Year for the Church
of Christ.

Rev. G. NJ. Keene has ended the
first year of his pastorate of the
church of Christ and his report at
last Sunday mornings service showed
all departments of the church to be in
prosperous condition and the past
year one of the most successful in
the history of the church.
During the year the church build
ing has been painted and otherwise
repaired, at a cost of S132, about S140
has been raised for missions and all
bills are paid to date. The total
amount of money raised for all pur-
poses during the year was 81, 392. IL.
There have been 10 additions to the
church during the year. The pastor
especially commended the young peo-
pie of the church for their loyalty and
faithful service, and said that a more
devout band of young people it had
never been his privilege to work with.
The church has reason to be proud of
its young people. The year has been
marked by spiritual growth. All
services are we'll attended and the
outlook for the coming year is very
encouraging.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way 10 cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an intamed
condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing; and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the result and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever nine cases ont of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con-
