Mr. Childs was a man thoroughly averse
to all publicity and would not accept
office of any kind but was thoroughly
devoted to his business and own private
concerns He was honest in all his deal
ings and no one could ever rightfully
accuse him of a dishonorable act.
The family of A. b. Childs was one of
the largest ever raised in this locality,

PAIN SUFFERED BY MR.. MARsTON
AS GREAT AS MORTAL GAN STAND.

by it should allow himself to be dis
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details Of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: "I was attacked by
numbness or dull feeling just back Of my
right hip. didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in q
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became 80 very bad that
every step was torture for me. When
finally succeeded in getting home, it was
Just as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
"The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for couldn't get out Of
bed il I wanted to. It was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment 1 attempted to move any
part Of my body, the pain became 80 ex-
oruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then I dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice Of
q friend bought box Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them. three
at dose, three times day. was de-
termined to give them n thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after began to use
them 1 was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. think DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and / heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles p Marston, Hampton P. O.,

Fear and Trust.

When last beneath the midnight stars
trod,
An awe fell on me from those depths
afar,
Great seas of silence round each separ-
ate star,
Fathomless distances, filled full of God!
Heaven beyond heaven without bound
or bar,
And thus my lips: 'Thy love 1 dare not
claim,
Infinite Heart whose pulses, like a sea,
Strike shore of sun and star, yet onward
flame,
Unspent, unbroken, everlastinglyl
So spake j, by Infnitude oppressed.
Yet ever, wrapt in peace for thought
too deep,
Like some small sea-bird on the waves
asleep,
My steadfast heart all unaware did rest,
o Fatherl on the ocean of Thy breast.
