WHAT WAS TT
The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find 1t is not "the Lwful thing" feared, but only chronic Indigestion, which proper food can re- Reve.
 A woman in Ohio says: T was troubled for years with in |igestion and chronic constipation. At Imes I would have such a gnawing in |py stomach that I actually feared I lad al dislike to write or even think |f what I feared.
 "Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts, decided to try it. After a short time was satisfied the trouble was not the l |wful thing I feared but was still bad snough. However, was relieved of a s sad case of Ndyspepsia, by changing E rom improper food to Grape-Nuts. Since that time my bowels have cen as regular as a clock, I had also oticed before l began to eat Grape &uts that I was becoming forgetful of khere I put little things about the ouse which was very annoying.
 But since the digestive. organs have

benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord"
 After announcing his text MT. Smith read thA presidents annual Thanksgiv- ing proclamation, describing it as a manly, noble and Christian document, and saying he believed Surgeons re- mark in reference to Mir Gladstone could be applied to President Roose- velt-"we believe in no mans infalli- bility, but we are grateful to be as- sured of at least one mans integrity" MT. Smith continuing said:
 These beautiful words of the text, taken from the Passover ritual of the ancient Hebrews, describe the emotions of glad heart anxious to reduite the bountiful goodness of God. But no man can ever repay Heavens love and smile except in one way, and that is by thankfully taking Gods gracious gifts, joyfully recognizing Him in everything both joy and sorrow, and gladly sharing His blessings with His fellow men. Enjoy the present. It is a ghast- " ullSldkt lO 61 uLlrplS anu Iu WOIIy dS so many Christians do. Count your blessings. Don't be over-anxious about tomorrow. God will provide. Many man is living in the gloom of life long regret because of some lost gift which he never prized till it had fed. Let us gather up the sunbeams, lying all around our path Then shall every day be Thanksgiving day
 MT Smith concluded the sermon with plea for Baptist home missions, stating that the Baptists' seventy-f1ve years of history and service among the foreigners and in the backwoods of America had been truly glorious and wonderfully successful, and the same loyalty and liberality of each and all the churches for another twenty-five years would result in Christianizing the entire republic. A collection for this work was taken at the close of the ser- mon.
 Despite the storm there was a good ly congregation gathered in the Union Baptist church at Montowese yester- day morning at the services of re-ded- icaton.. For several weeks the church has been under Improvements and the betterments have cost about lS1,30O. The sermon of dedication was by the pastor, Rev. W. o. Keir-
