Protect Proprietary Medicines.

Did 1t ever occur to you that pro-
prietary medicines are a blessing 20
mankind generally? The good on.s
have long continued sale; the poor
ones have short life and soon leave
the market
1t we had to depcni entirely upon
physicians and druggists 1t would be
expensive and very inconvenient at
times, especially in the country and
at night when neither could be con-
veniently reached. For nearly 40
years Boschee's German Syrup has
been used in many families and
thousands of lives have been say
by its use, when 1t was impossible to
reach a physician. German Syrup is
the best household remedy for coughs,
colds, throat and lung trouble. It
quickly relieves the hacking cough,
loosens the phlegm, and brings sound
and refreshing sleep. Twenty-Five

II. C, Bryson, pioneer of the Blue
mountains, tells of the many murders,
suicides, robberies and accidents which
have happened on the mountains since
the country has been settled. In an
interview in the Walla Wala States
man Mr., Bryson says;
Among the first tragedies in the
Bue mountains of which | have
knowledge, was the suicide by hang
ing of Melissa Twaddle at the old
Twaddle place on the mountain. | do
not remember many of the circum-
stances connected Herewith but as
remember, the reason given therefor
was despondent over an unrequited
love for one who did not reciprocate.
This must have been nearly 20 years
ago.

Donovan shot and killed himself at

A NEW SOCIAL ORDER.
Dr. Lyman Abbott Tells Yale Students
 Tendency of the Times.

Dr' Lyman Abbott Tells Yale Students
 Tendency of the Times.
 Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott of New Yorl preached at Battel chapel to the Yale students yesterday morning. He took as his text Matt. vi., 10, Thy Kingdom
 come. Thy will be done in earth as i IS in heaven" The Jews of Jesus time said Dr. Abbott, expected and were looking for temporal Kingdom that should rival in glory and power that ot Rome. Then at later era the foIIew. CTS of Christ thought that the Kingdom of God was not on this earth but in heaven hereafter. Accordingly they neglected the body in ascetfc practices. NOW We are coming back to the primi- tive and correct conception that the Kingdom of God is upon the earth.
 mere IS new social order, and many or the movements or recent times have been fostering peace, kindness and good Will between men. Our industries are being emancipated. The processes that have brought about this change may be seen in the American revolution, in the temperance movement, in the anti-slav- cry movement, in immigration, in the race problem and in the labor problem.
 There have been great changes in the line of thought, also The question to- day is mt how we may save individual souls, but how we car save the whole country. How can We save New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis from the evils that beset them? How can we save the country from putoc- raoy and mobooracy that are besetting 1t, and not how We can save a single soul from the hell hereafter.
 Theological doctrines have changed. Men no longer preach the doctrine of election any more than a fireman stops to be told, who he may save or who he may leave in a burning building. It is said that men no longer read the Bi- ble. It is said that they no longer go to church. If they do not it is because they have been brought up to think that the Bible and the church are trying to prepare them for heaven instead of teaching them the way to social joy on the earth. When one of your own graduates goes to Cuba, and by his skill extinguishes the flames of war and establishes .peace and order$ no man stops to ask if he is a Presbyterian or a Catholic. They know that Secretary Taft IS doing service to humanity, and, if they think more deeply, that he is doing Christ's work on earth.
 We are no longer Joking for immor- tality beyond the grave but we believe in present living immortality Some refer to the Middle Age as the age of religious enthusiasm but I had rather live in this age of skepticism, as 1t is called, than in that age of ignorance. The reasons, and the underlying req sons of these changes I will explain to you in my sermon next Sunday.
 Dr. Abbott will occupy the pulpit at the chapel next Sunday.
