SPEAKS ON WAGES OF SIN
DR.. Chapman Shows Beauty of the
Christian Life

In spite of the rain the churches
were we'll filled last night and in the
central district where DR.. Chapman
preached, there was a very enthusias-
tic meeting. THE wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal
life" was the text chosen by the
speaker. DIR. Chapman declared that
if men are persistent in clinging to sin
and refusing to accept Christ who is
the rightful Savior, they can expect
no other wages than death. The pic
ture of life wasted in attempts to
satisfy self was given, and in oppo-
sition to this the speaker pictured a
life which he said was filled with
brightness and satisfaction. God gave
to man his most precious gilt when
he gave his son to be crucifed, and
it is through the acceptance of this
crucified Savior that God bestows his
gift of eternal life"

corruption; he that soweth of the
spirit shall reap life everlasting"
The speaker dwelt at some length
on the consequences of a life of self
indulgence anu the effects that sin will
produce. On the other hand he pointed

filled with the spirit of God.

Gods way is by way of pardon, and

Gods way of escape is open now. 1t

Why not take advantage of it now?
1t is indeed a great salvation; great
in its conception, for it covers past,

visions and great in its completeness,
leaving nothing more to be done to in

SOULS MUST BE FED ALSO
Evangelist Hobson Urges Importance
of Spiritual Food

Evangelist Hobson spoke at the
Olivet church last night from 2 Cor
inthians I'll. Yea with vehement de-
sire"
The speaker said: "If we treated our
bodies as we do our souls there would
not be enough of us left to bury the
dead. We eat candy and cake and
three meals a day, and yet give our
souls no square meal. We take great
care of our faces, yet in spite of the
care they will grow old and wrinkled.
Your soul is hungry and crying for
food, and you say. come on soul, will
take you to the whiskey barrel or the
gambling table The soul will pro-
test and would say 1 would part COM
pany with myself if I could.
Many men never look at God. New
er say good morning to him or thank
him for the blessings of life.
Empty your soul of sin and God will
fill it with himself. God cannot ac-
cept you unless you give your entire
heart to him."

clared that he had never felt more
honored by it than when the boys of
the southern university cheered him.
Immediately following the tiger the
U. S. C. yell was given and then there
were three hearty cheers for DR..
Biederwolf.
DIR. Biederwolf spoke freely in telling
of his own college days at Princeton
and later at a university in Germany.
He told stories of happenings on the
track and the gridiron and impressed

develop every side which goes to make

the athletic field; don't neglect them
in the classroom and above all don't
neglect your spiritual opportunities. -
He urged them to accept the God of
their mothers and told Of the pleasure
that came into his mothers life when

SISTERS OF PROVIDENCE, Mother
House. Montreal, Can, write:
I'VE are happy to say that a number
of our sisters of our community have
taken Peruna and have derived great
benefit from it's use."
The winters of Canada are long and
severe. Catarrh of the head and throat
prevails for at least seven months of
the year.
AS soon as Peruna was introduced
into Canada, it's use spread like Wild
fire, for it exactly met the climatic
diseases which abounded.
Catarrh, when it once fastens itself
upon the system, is not to be dislodged
by the use of local remedies.
A systemic remedy is needed to
eradicate the disease. Peruna exactly
meets this necessity.
In the whole history of medicine, no
remedy was ever devised that has been
so universally recognized as specific
for catarrh.
1t not only breaks up promptly
coughs and colds, but it can be relied
upon to permanently cure catarrh in
it's worst stages and forms.
m
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-16

People who have been afflicted with
catarrh for twenty years have found
Peruna to be a prompt and efficient
remedy.
Good Shepherd of Montreal writes:
"Having used Peruna for the past
few months for our sick and poor, we
are happy to say that it has given us
great satisfaction"
In a later letter. dated November 7,
1903 the same institution writes:
1--WE found Peruna relief in several
cases. We can say it is good tonic
and We are very thankful"
The following letter is from Hospital
st. Jean, Tongue Pointe:
1--WE have been using your Peruna
during the past month and we take
pleasure in stating that the results
obtained thus far are most satisfac-
tory"
A later letter from this institution is
as follows:
"We have used your remedy in a
number of different cases, and the re-
suit obtained is very good"
