There are two mountains hallowed
BY majesty sublime,
Which rear their crests unconquereC
Above the floods of time.
Uncounted generations
Have gazed upon them with awe
The mountain of the Gospel,
The mountain of the law.
From Sinai's cloud of darkness
The vivid lightnings play;
They serve the God of vengeance,
The lord who shall repay.
Each fault must bring its penance,
Each sin the avenging blade;
For God upholds in justice
The law that he hath made.
But Calvary stands to ransom
The earth from utter loss
In shade than light more glorious
The shadow of the cross.
To heal the sick worlds trouble,
To soothe it's woe and pain,
On Calvarys summit
The Paschal lamb was slain. q
Almighty God, direct us
TO keep Thy perfect law!

Nearer to Thee to draw;
Let Sinai's thunder aid us
To guard our feet from sin,
And Calvary's light inspire US

There are cases where an operation is the only resource, but when one con siders the great number of cases of ovarian and womb trouble cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should su bmit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
 Miss Margret Merlley of PTS Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkbam:-
 '' Loss of strength, extreme nervousness shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said had ovarian trouble and alteration and advised an opera tion. To this I strongly objected and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. The alteration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and l am once more strong, vigorous and well.
 Ovarian and womb troubles are stead fly on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful or too frequent and excessive-if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing down pains, leucor- rhoea, don't neglect yourself try Lydia E. Pipkham's Vegetable Compound

WHAT WE COULD BE

Many a household has it's angel.
 Though she stoops to earthly cares Many a sister, many mother,
 Is an angel unawares. Hers the hand to smooth the pillow
 Of the patient sufferers bed; Hers to plant the weeping willow
 Ger the dear departed head; Hers to speak in words of comfort
 To the weary, troubled mind, Till it's murmur joins in consort
 With the gentle summer wind; Hers the ear to listen, patient,
 To the wretched tale of woe, Till the mind becomes unburdened,
 Ere it knows what made it so. Hers the look that oft checks anger. Speaking more than words can tell; Hers the smile that ever with it
 Carries such a magic spell; Hers the heart that's ever open
 Both to joy and sorrows call. Waiting. ready to receive them
 With a sympathy for all; Till the atmosphere around her,
 Seems to fill with quiet peace. Bidding every noise and tumult,
 Every angry murmUr, "Cease." Thus it is these household angels
 Bless our homes from day to day; But we know not how We need them Until they are called away. Then we miss the hand so gentle;
 Then We miss the look so lIind Then we miss the voice so cheery
 That bespoke the happy mind, And the ear that always listened, And the heart that always cared, And admitted all our sorrows
 And our gIadness always shared. But we feel they still are near us. Watching OCT us every day. Seem to soothe the saddest sorrow And chase half the grief away.
