King, tho power and glory of tho
earthly rule and the seats Of the
mighty for they had been trained
i'll all the wisdom of the age. All
they had to do was TO fall down
and worship the image. On the
other hand if they refused to do
this they would be cast into the
furnace and meet a horrible and
agonizlng death. This meant sac
rliicc OF home, friends, all the
glory and honor of the world. DR..
smith gave some of the probable
temptations which the Devil wills
pcrcd in their car such as the
worshiping Of the image was only
q royal custom, and then that old
rule When in Babylon do as the
Babylonians do" Or probably the
Devil argued with them that they
ought to do this in gratitude for
what the king had done for them.
Also he probably argued with
them that it was Gods hand in
this and that if they would wor-
ship the King they could arise to
power and probably have the
chance Of rescuirg their people
who were grooming on every side.
But to all this they gave the strong
answer, we will not serve thy
god OIL king" Such moral cour-
age as took to say hat word. A
brave thing indeed for they were
all alone in all those thousands. 1t
is easy to be a. hero when the
cheering multitude is behind you,
or on a battlefield when the con-
llict has turned your blood into
fire and when you know hat the
whole nation is behind you, but
when these three men knew as they
did that they we're alone and had
to die that frightful death it was a
brave thing to answer as they did.
And what was the secret Of their
moral courage? Our God whom
we serve he will deliver US. The
secret of their sublime courage
was their sublime faith. They
trusted in God and they dcGcd the
power of this earthly king. Inside
the fiery furnace Christ was wait
ling for them as he is always wait
ing for his followers to lead them
safely. Through all the age s~this
has ever been. 1t is the great faith
in God which has enabled the
matyrs of the ages to die in prison,
on the rack, and by the flames
without finching. They knew
that God was with them. Onmoun-
tain heights and in the deepest
dungeon Gods power goes.
And tho story Of these three he
roes is told today and the power
of Babylon has long since passed
away. God has drawn the images
of these three men across the path
way of the centuries. The name
Of Babylon and her King and
glory has survived simply because
they came cross the path Of these
men.
And one lesson which DR.. Smith
impressed was that all moments
and events in our lives are not Of
equal Importance. In one short
moment may be crowded the des-
tiny Of our lives. The crisis may
come IN some moment. Then the
battle-ground Of the soul will wit
ness a stcrncr conflict than took
place on the heights Of Thcrmo-
plyce or the plains Of Gettysburg.
1t bchoovcs us to be on the watch.
This moment will not come with
the blowing Of trumpcts or the
cry of the thousands. Itmay come
in the dead of night when we are
all alone or a. any moment. 1t

a duty to the state and nation that
VIC make the best citizens that we
can. We should sec that right is
done even to the humblcst.
4th, The duty we W to God.
This is the greatest duty Of all.
licrc we arc placed in a land Of
bibles and churches and can 0
ship under our own vine and fig
tree and in what manner
we choose. Then do we not owe a
duty to God who has given us all
this? God can take us away in the
twinkling of an eye. No one can
look around in the world and doubt
that there is Il God. He made the
stars, and the sun, the seasons day
and night. Look how the planets
move in the way God fixed for
them without swcrving one inch
from the path. He expects that
we be Christian citizens and We
owe it as a duty to him. We will
soon be called before the Bar of
God and we should perform that
duty as we'll las we can. 1t is
pleasant for brethren to dwell to-
gethcr in unity and we are all
serving the same God. Denomina-
tons do not matter for they are
all advancing the kingdom Of God.
The teachers have a great privi-
lege. They prepare the sons and
daughters and send them forth to
spread the word and it goes on and
on reaching up to the throne Of
Grace.
Gov. Anscl closed by saying that
as all knew he was a very busy
man but he couldn't help but com
ing here today for the privilege Of
tolking upon this subject. And his
final words we're, MAY you all
say as the sacred writer said. My
citizenship is in heaven"
At the close Of this DR.. Mcleod
offered a fcrvcnt prayer and after
mother hymn the congregation
was dismissed until evening with
the bcncdiction.
THE EVENING EXERCISES.
The evening exercises were
opened at S o'clock. Seated on the
stage were The elders, Rev. e P
Rushton, Rev. r e Turnipseed,
DR.. Henry Louis Smith, DR.. Bun
yam Mcleod, and the choir. The
first song was is thy heart right
with Code" After one more hymn
had been sung prayer was made
by Rev. e p Rushton. Then the
singing Of the laymcn's hymn was
followed by the reading of the 3rd
chapter Of the book of Daniel by
DIR. Smith. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Turnipsccd and then DIR.
Mcleod introduced DR.. Henry
Louis Smith, the President of
Davidson College, who was to be
the speaker Of the evening.
Taking as his subject "Shad-
rach, Mcsach and Abcdncgo," DR..
Smith held the audience closely.
His presentation Of this subject
and the lessons from it was splen-
did and all we're delighted with
speaker.
The following is a short sum
mary Of his subject: All are hero
worshipcrs. Everyone has his
ideal and is striving for it. What
one PERSONS ideal is like would be
scorncd by another. Ambitions
arc different and ideals arc differ
cnt. But all admire courage.
Courage is honorcd the world over.
Physical courage is applaudcd by
the people a. the world is com

courage, that which darcs to do

Fluid Extract pandelion. one-half ounce; Compound kargon one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces These sim plc. harmless ingredients can be Ob- tained at any good prescription phar- macy at little cost and are mixed by shaking well in bottle.
 The dose for adults is a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. drink ing a full tumblcrful of water after each dose.

 A well known local druggist states that this mixture acts directly upon the climinative tissues of the kidneys; clcanscs these spongelike organs and gives them power to sift and strain thc poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause of rheumatism.
 Cut this out and hand to some suf- frrer. which would certainly be an act or humanity.

OLD SURGEON Found Coffee Caused Hands to
 Tremble.

The surgeons duties require clca" judgment and steady hand. \ slip CT an unnecessary incision may do ir- reparable damage to the patient
 When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to trembie. an Ills. surgeon ccnscientiously gave it up and this is his stor.:
 For years | was d coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down. my hands trembled so l could hardly write. and insomnia tor tured me at night.
 Besides, how could l safely perform operations with unsteady hands. using knives and instruments of precision? When I saw plainly the bad effects of coffee, I decided to stop it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum. of which I had received sample.
 .-"The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, sootnng. delicious. At this time l gave some Postum to a friend who was in similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee.
 "A few days later met him and he was full of praise for Postum. declar- ing he would never return to coffee DuI Slich lO IbStuln- W t liltl OIutitu d full supply and within d short time my nervousness and consequent trem- bling. as well as insomnia disappear ed, blood circulation became normal no dizziness nor heat flashes.
 My friend became a Postum enthu- siast, his whole family using it eXclu- sively.
 Tt would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served.
 The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. NPostum should be boiled according to directions on the pkg. Then it is all right, any one can rely on it. It ought to become the national drink There's a Reason. " Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

One of the queerest fads in the way of style. among men. that ever has struck New York is that which is the thing of the hour so far as the wear ing of ones hat is concerned. To be absolutely correct you must wear your hat. that k. a derby or silk, thrust down toward your right ear and crushed pretty well down on your head at this angle. The fashion does not look particularly out of place in one of the windy downtown streets. but when enc sees a young man going from box to box in tho parterre TOW at the opera house. where there is not the slightest danger of his tile" be- ing blown away, the now fad appears strikingly absurd. YSt that is the way every man who pre6ends to be any thing of a swell must wear his hat nowadays.-New York Press.
