"My Oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the schoolro to get fresh
air to revive her. I gave some pills to her.
She took only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon.
mend them to others"

Dr.. Washington GLADDEN., moderator

ticnal Churches, preaching at the
First Congregational Church this
morning upon The Christian of To-
day" said:
THE Christian of today is begin
ming to get new idea of what it
means to carry his religion into his
business; he has found out that it
signifies an earnest effort to make his
business not only means Of gain,
but an instrumentality of help and
service to all his fellow men,
Andrew Carnegie said some years
ago, for instance, that a man may be
as selfish as he pleases in the accumu-
lation of a fortune if he will only be
benevolent in the distribution Of the
fortune after it is made.
That is not the best theory of the
business mans responsibility. His
greatest opportunities of benevolence
are those which come to him in his
business. It is while he is making
his fortune, not after it is made, that
he must prove himself a Christian.
Gifts, no matter how munificent,
which have been heaped up by extor-
ton and trickery, are not Christian
benefactions.
Some of the most gigantic robbers
that the world has ever known-men
who have accumulated hundreds of
millions by wicked methods-are by
some persons praised and f1attered for
their liberal gifts to churches and col
leges and missions. Such an estimate
does not represent the Christianity Of
today.
The Christian of today distinctly
sees that the Christianization of the
great realm of industry and traffic is
the most urgent problem now before
them. It is a tremendous undertake
ing, but not too ardRons for the all
conquering grace Of Him who has ban
ished infanticide, abolished slavery
and lifted woman to an equality with
