IN MEMORY OF
JENNIE DAVIS
@~~N~NN~
\ Died at Her Homo in Lake Cry
staI on Jan. 7.

We are filled with gloom and sadness
All the world seems dark and drear,
Oft we shed the glistening teardrop,
Weeping for our Jennie, dear,
She has crossed the waging pillows,
TO her glorious home, on high,
Where the saints unite in praising
Their dear Savior, who is night.
Sad and lonely is the household.
Empty is her favorite chair,
Many tokens of her handwork
Still remind us of her care
Many were her deeds of kindness.
Many were her words of cheer,
Many were the noble actions
Done by her, our Jennie, dear.
III.
She was always kind and pleasant.
Always anxious to do good.
Helping others to bear burdens
Everywhere when 'er she could,
Through her life, she labored meekly,
Working for the Master dear,
Now, she's called to higher service
Where no sorrow shall be near.
w.. 49,
Forty years of faithful service.
Trials hindering many time,
Won for her Crown of Glory.
From her Savior most sublime.
From among us she is taken.
Here on earth we'll meet no more.
But we hone sometime to meet her.
On that distant, glorious shore.
v.
Let MS not be too discouraged.
Jennie, now. is with the blest.
Where no trial. pain. or sorrow
Ever can disturb her rest:
Their" mid scenes of joy unbounded,
In His presence. face to fare.
Rowing there in bl'sful worship
Singing praises to His Grace.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is onl y one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachlan Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or inper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and IN
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltlon1' hearing will be destroyed forev-
er; nine cases out of ten are caused bv
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
