A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their.prejudice against so call
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afflicts mankind.

M. C. Gee, NJ. D.
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

The Christians Trisls and Triumphs.
Jas. I: t.8.


Our coming triumph is--to be per
feet 20 be just what Christ wants us
to be. All other triumphs are lost In
this.
Earthly fathers sometimes rebuke
their children for their many re.
quests, but God is more likely to re-
buke ns that we ask so little OF
Him.
The hardest part of q prayer is
after we have prayed, and the answer
does not come at once, or manifest
ly. Still, even then. to pray is to oh.
tain.
Suggestions.
Good things are hard" Plato was
fond OF saying; and the Christians
triumph Is the best thing.
There Is no triumph except along
Christ's way. and also no trial is
sent the faithful Christian except
along the way where Christ Is.
Temptation has two meanlngs--an
melting to sin, and a testing OF vir.
tue. God sends only the latter.
To doubt that Christ has met your
special temptation is to doubt His
perfect humanity; to doubt that He
can help you out of 1t is TO doubt
His perfect divinity.
Illustrations.
The larger and more perfect the
diamond, the more certain that it
will be placed on the grinding
stone.
Old soldiers have no greater Joy
than to relate the battles that were
most terrible for them, and one of the
greatest joys OF heaven will be to
remember the temptations over which
we triumphed on earth.
No cross, no crown" has become
Christian motto, and q crown snr-
mounting a cross has become
Christian symbol
Questions.
Do turn at once to a Christian In
any trial?

triumphs?
Am I learning to rejoice ia tribula.

The New York Post discussing the
grave increase of the drink bill of the
American people, very pertinently
says
1T has been for many years favor
ite observation OF sociological students
that, in this country. the use OF ardent
liquors was giving place to the con-
sumption of milder beverages. In the
half century from 1910 TO 1890, for in
stance, while this same average Amer
lean had learned to drink nine times
as much beer as he did before, and
half as much wine again, he had made
up for this by cutting off nearly half
OF his former allowance of whiskey.
But the assertion that mild bever-
ages are displacing strong drink can
no longer fairly be made regarding
present conditions. For the last eight
years. as a matter of fact, we have
been consuming every year not only
absolutely. but relatively, more spirits
than the year before. From 1.0l gal
Ions per capita, the lowest figure in
our statistical history. which was
reached in 1896. the consumption has
steadily mounted till it is now las

per cent Beer, in the same time. has

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8.
This Christians Trials and Triumphs.
James I, 1-8.

James Is the practical teacher of
the New Testament. The epistle
plun3es abruptly into the whole ques-
tion of temptation and trial. Tempts.
tion to James is "all joy; and the
reason is given, because trial work
eth patience" The, wisdom neces-
sary to detect the temptation and the
strength needed to resist It can be
had by prayer The result will be
a ''singie-eyed man." not waverer
or double.minded man.
A strenuous sort OF religion did
james teach. A stalwart struggling
and conquering sort IL was. His kind
Of Christian plunged into the thick OF
the fight and won his place by devel-
oping strength through trial and
lomptation. But the virtue was not
in the trial, but in the resisting. Sit
at his feet and let us learn few les.
sons:
Trials are to be Encountered with
JOY. The oak finds strength from the
tempest. The arm is made strong by
lifting weights. The Christian is
made better by resisting evil. This
Is the philosophy of James. This is
the experience of saints in all ages.
The Christian hero must not tremble
al danger nor finch from contest, but
rather rejoice in anticipation of VIC
tory. TO people In the midst OF
persecution as were these to whom
James was writing, this note must
have come with cheer and hope. No
less so now, Persecution, trial. tenn
ptation, struggle are the lot OF all.
But rejoice that you are counted
worthy to endure; that God counts
you strong and courageous.
The Results of Trial are Blessed.
Trial worketh patience: not simply
that pnase OF patience that endures
and submits, but that which 10 cour-
age and tirmness. The test of gold
is FIRE; the test OF the Christian Is
endurance; and when il hath it's per-
feet work we become perfect That
is kind of practical perfection which
gives on the assurance of perpetual
victory perfect in resisting power
and In boldness In service.
The Secret OF This Power is from
God. II any lack wisdom he may
have It. The wisdom here mention
ed Is doubtless that discrimination
which gives Que the power TO detect
temptation aud seize upon all the re.
sources of grace. II is the wisdom
necessary TO possess and 10 manifest
the perfection mentioned II Is not
by human culture but by divine be-
stowment. And God gives this lib
orally He never upbraids. The win

daunted courage. Under these CON
ditions trial and temptation become
helpful rather than harmful, and vic

Christian contestant.
