l will try to present some remarkable
facts regarding the wealth and beauti-
full situation of this beloved town and
state of ours, and hope in my feeble
way that may be able to bring to
mind some joys which God hath laid
up for those that serve Him.
First, let us try to picture some of
the enormous wealth of our state. We
find that our state ranks fourth in cot :
tom fifth in mules and molasses, sixth
in iron ore and sugar, seventh in rice.
Has fair soil and is very rich in coal,
iron, lime and sandstone, timber and
various minerals. But let us try to
draw a picture of some thing beyond
this vale Of tears. Let us look beyond
earth's pleasures to our home up in the
sky, and wonder if they can see us
from that good land. l think they can
il from this window of earthly pros
poets we can almost see them. Then
from their tower of light I think they
can fully see us, and so | wave them
glory and / wave them joy and / say
Have you gotten through with all
your troubles, and their voices ans
wer, "God hath wiped away all tears
from our eyes,. ask them, Is it as
grand upthere as you thought it would
be, and they answer, Eye hath not
seen nor ear heard, neither hath it en-
tered into the heart of man the things
which God hath prepared for those
that love him.
God hath many unknown blessings
in store for those that trust Him, and
if we will only worship Him in spirit
and in truth, we may look beyond this
vale of tears, as John did and see the
holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming
down from God, out of heaven prepar-
ed as a bride adorned for her husband,
and II heard a great voice out of heav-
en- saying Behold the tabernacle Of
God is with men and He will dwell
with them, and they shall be His peo-
pie and God Himself shall be with
them, and be their God. " Let these
thoughts be a blessing, fragrant with
unfading flowers, blossoms that will
bear transplanting to the lovely Eden
bowers Oft | wonder in my slumber-
ing rs years go by and we grow old,
if the angels in the heavens watch us
from that golden shore. Then well do
| remember when at Calvarys cross
the blessed Saviour took our sins and
bore them there Then from earth my
| thoughts are lifted to Beulah land SO
fair, and | hear the angels singing,
Come ye weary ones and share. -

Sometimes?

If so, it will interest you to
know that it can be stopped
with DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills;
and without any bad after
effects, and this without dam
ger of forming a drug habit or
having your stomach disar-
ranged. They positively con-
tain no opium, morphine, CO.
caine, choral, ether or chloro-
form in any form. DR.. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain,
and leave only a sense of relief.
The reason for this is explained
by the fact that headache comes
from tired, irritable, turbulent,
over-taxed brain nerves. Anti
Pain Pills soothe and strength
en- these nerves, thus removing
the cause. They are harmless
when taken as directed.
I'VE use DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
for the cure of headache. and we
think that there is nothing that will
equal them. They win cure the
severest spell of nervous or sick
headache in a very few minutes. l
