1t is rather an uncommon thing for an
institution engaged in the cure of alco-
holic or narcotic patients to be able to
publish testimonials from persons who
have taken treatment, and stood true
to their cure for any great length Of
time.
The following testimonial is from Mr..
G. A. Langston, who called on Chas. b.
James, the originator Of the James
"cure,' to tell him how happy he was
and to let him see how we'll he looked.
Mr.Langston took treatment at the James
Sanatorium, Memphis, Tenn, nine years
ago and his testimonial will prove all the
more valuable as an evidence that there
Is permanent cure for those who want
to be cured, and it is only one Of hun

liar cases cured at the James sanato-
rum. In letter recently received from
Mr.. Langston he reports that he Is still
free from all desire and craving for alco-
holic and narcotic stimulants, and that he
would like very much to become con-
nected with James Sanatorium, in order
that he might go forth into the world as
a living example and make known to
suffering humanity the good work that is
being daily accomplished at James San
atorium.
The following letter is from Mr.. Lang
ston, and was written some time ago. It
shows his appreciation OF the kind at
tention and treatment while he was at
the Sanatorium:
"Having been successfully treated at
your institution for the habitual use Of
both whiskey and morphine for eighteen
years standing, it is with pleasure that
I herewith hand you my testimonial,
which you are at liberty to use as you
wish."
"My case was bad one, and the prime
Of my life and manhood was spent in
misery and nothingness, which appears
to me as blank, and the continuous use
Of liquors and enslaving drugs had so
stunted and paralyzed my finer sensibil-

REGULAR MEETING.
Lets Given BY Mrs. Gardner for Hos
pItal Accepted by Circle.

The Kings Daughters and Sons met
In the parlor of the Methodist church
last Friday afternoon at o'clock with
very good attendance.
After the regular routine Of business,
the important matter OF choosing lot

The proposition 30 generously made by
Mrs. Josephine e. Gardner was then

must have the cooperation Of every one.
We must be one in our great desire for

So let us continue to pray first of all
for the likeness of Christ that nothing

The main obiectof our Circle "Devel-

py Christian life is service. God has
called US to special work. No one else
can do our work, and If they could we
would miss the essing. Let us not de-
fend on method alone. 1t is only by be-
ing filled with the spirit that we can
serve successfully. We have only to ask
to be emptied Of self, filled with the
spirit and guided by Him.
So with this thought uppermpst in
our hearts, let us do with our, hearts, let
us do with our might what our hands
find to do, and begin our work full OF
hope, willing to serve, and surmount all |
obstacles. Then the good, generous
people of Greenwood and Lefiore county
will rally to our support, and we will
soon have Kings Daughters Hospital
that not only the town and county, but
the entire state, will be proud to own.
