CHRIST AT CANA.

Dear Friend, whose presence in the
house,
Whose gracious worq benign,
Could once, at Canas wedding feast,
Change water into wine.
Come, visit us! and when dull work
Grows weary, line on line,
Revive our souls, and let us see
Lifes water turned to wine.
Gay mirth shall deepen into joy,
Earths hopes grow half divine,
When Jesus visits us, to make
Life's water glow as wine
The social talk, the evening fire,
The homely household shrine.
Grow bright with angel visits, when
The Lord pours out the wine.
For when self-seeking turns to love,
Not knowing mine nor thine,
The miracle again is wrought,
And water turned to wine.

How often do you hear these signi-
ficant expressions from w ON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman S
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives OF
suffering women.

Through empty heaven without re-

And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his

Though closer still the blinds we
pull,
To keep the shady parlor cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through.
The dusty attic, spider-clad,
He, through the keyhole, maketh
glad;
And through the broken edge of tiles
Into the laddered hayloft smiles.
Meantime his golden face around
No bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and glittering

Among the ivy's inmost nook
Above the hills, along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing

To please the child, to paint the rose,
The garden of the world, he goes.
