SUNDAY SERMON

| brought deliverance he emerged
without scratch while the corrupt
conspiratiors hurled shrieking into
the pit we're caught in the jaws Of
the famished beasts before they
struck the bottom Of the cave.
Daniel was not the only statesman
who has been the object of SANDER
and abuse. 1t is most despica BILE
habit and yet one of the most
common. The American people are
sinners above all others in this
particular. Criticism of public Off
Gals is as common as it is ignorant.
Once let man enter the political
arena and his whole private and
public life is exposed to the gaze Of
the world. If he has made mis-
take anywhere in his career the
ghouls dig it up and drag it out in
to the light of day. And from the
moment that he takes the oath of
Office till he passes out of it every
move he makes is exploited in the
newspapers and discussed at the
corner grocery and denounced on
the stump. The mud singing of
political campaigns is disgraceful.
*x*
For one person who prays for the
president there are a thousand who
curse him. How many people there
are who seize upon the peccadillo
of an office holder or the embezzle-
ment of postmaster or the down
fall of trusted clerk with the
avldity of a hyena digging bone
out of a graveyard as a luscious
morsel providing their contention
that ''every man has his price. !"
We should have better officials if
we prayed more and criticised less.
Daniel walked unframed amid the
wild beasts of the lions den. Doubt
less in his case a mighty miracle
was wrought for his protection.
And in a large and important sense
the same is true now. There are
multitudes of young men and young
women who are every day moving
amid the fierce lions OF society
whose virtuous lives hold in check
the ravenous beasts and enable
them to pass unframed. The Saliva
ton lassie goes in and out of the
dens of iniquity and the beasts not
even growl. They would be torn
asunder by their companions if they
should lay paw upon these delicate
unframed but pure spirits. That
is the honor that vice pays to
virtue. And that is true in all the
walks of life. The Hebrew Daniel
was not the only lion tanner. The
world is full of men and women to-
day who walk IN the midst of whole
menageries of roaring lions seeking
whom they may devour and yet are
''holy, harmless, undefiled-separate
from Sinners" They demonstrate
that virtue can look vice out Of
countenance and that man still has
dominion over beasts.

Envy and jealousy, like death,
love shining marx. The higher
up a man climbs in business and
politics and religion the more
readily he becomes target fer his
foes to shoot at. And in the great
majority of cases the only charge
that can be brought against him is
that he has won where others have
failed and has reached the sum NIT
while his adversaries are yet at the
base. In political life two methods
are adopted to destroy those who
are in places of power-bribery or
bombardment. The venomous SCRIP
ents which are Matched in the
swamps of oficialdom can fascinate
or bite. They hypnotic their
victims with allurements or strike
them with the fangs of hate.
Many man has fallen like Cardinal
Wolsey from the pinnacle of power
through the poison of ambition.
But now and then the world has
seen an instance of an incorruptible
politician. There is vast difference
between a cheap politician and a
broad statesman. Politics need not
necessarily be swamp breeding
malaria. Tammany is not swamp
| 1T is only an unredeemed and q OXiOus
cesspool.
*.*
Our lesson today concerns das-
tardly conspiracy of the ward
heelers of Medo-Persia against the
Prime Minister Daniel. The old
Hebrew by virtue of inherent abili-
ty was at the head of the govern
ment the first in authority and to
him one hundred and twenty princes
gave account. He stood between
the king and the INSCRIPTIONS
crowd who wanted to get at the
public trough which he guarded.
And they determined to get rid of
him. So they devised plot which
they knew would catch him. They
fiattered the king into making a
decree that no petition should be
made to any but himself Tor thirty
days. They pulled the wool over
Darius eyes and fattered by their
apparent good will he made the
proclamation. And the gang went
out from his presence laughing IN
their sleeves to watch the window
OF Daniel. Daniel was a godly
man and he had no intention of
lodging. When the time OF prayer
arrived he turned his face toward
Jerusalem and uttered his petitions
as aforetlme. Then the conspirators
sprung the trap. The king was
panic stricken. He saw it now but
it was too late. And in spite OF
royal protestation Daniel was cast
into the den of lions.

TINY PARkLETs IN PARIS.
No Spot is Too Small to Escape Green

vent the intrusion of vulgar curiosity
we are surprised, when the maid
opens, to see the glory of trees and
flowers lining the little court. There
are gems of purest ray serene thus
concealed all about Paris.

pens, the government takes things in
its own hands and opens a little
square tree set, fountain set and man

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
About three years ago had intense pain

headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that did not get any batter he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
l had tumor in the uterus
II felt sure that II meant my death warrant,
and was very dishesrtened. spent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, but the turnor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately
corresponded with my aunt in the New Eng
and States, who ah vised me to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before sub
mitting to an operation, and at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve. and after three months / noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper-
alton, and using no medicine but Lydia f.
Pnkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express how grateful am for the good
it has done me. Miss Luella Adams, Colon

REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS
Truth About the Popular proprietary
Medicines."

mcOlClneS.
The recplt campaign against the
-pse-of proprietary medicines, conduct
ed in the columns of The Ladies'
Home Journal and Golfers Weekly.
has evoked an answer from the Com
mittee on Legislation Of the Proprie-
tary Association. The committee says:
In considering the question saised
by recent attacks upon proprietary
medicines. every reasonable man Will
admit that there is wide and legiti-
mate field for the manufacture and
sale of medicines already prepared
for general use and easily obtainable
at all times and everywhere.
AS matter of fact these medicines
are not patented at all, and the popu-
lar use of the word patent in connec-
tion with them is a misnomer. Any
pharmacist will tell you that practi-
cally the only patent medicines in
use to-day are those which are manu-
factured either by foreign or domestic
pharmaceutical houses, and which are
now almost exclusively dispensed by
physicians or designated by them in
their prescriptions.
THE medicines which are now the
subject of wholesale attack by Mr..
Box and Editor Hapgood are the old
fashioned family remedies properly
described as proprietary medicines.
They are the favorite remedies among
millions of people all over the coun-
try; and. Notwithstanding the con-
slant effort Of some physicians to cre-
ate prejudice against them. no one
ever yet heard of any of the millions
of users of such remedies asking for
legislation or other action adverse to
them"
