DoNT,s FOR

Don't complain of your church du,
ties. Where love is one forgets labor.
Don't claim that you are already
saved. Character begins in the cradle
and ends in the grave.
Don't try to hug to yourself the
blessings you receive. You cannot keep
the joy you will not share.
Don't profess what you do not feel.
Your, sympathies express more than
your words, and determine the breadth
of your life.
Don't pray God to shower blessings
upon you when they are already fall
ing, and are your IL you are in condi-
tion to receive them.
Don't try to meet God in your church
only. If you cannot find Him every
where. you will find him nowhere. The
success of your search depends on the
way you search.
Don't shed tears when your attention
is called to suffering. The tear of pity
is a good thing only when it is accom-
panied by effort to relieve suffering.
Don't expect heavenly music in every
temple. The angels song can best be
heard where hearts are attuned to gen.
nine praise. The angels never sang In
costly churches.

GODS MANIFOLD MERCIES.
By Rev. J. G.. McClintock.
TpNt.=pSalm 1O1. IL

... TeXt.-FSllm 1UI. / !.
The whole Psalm must be read and
considered in order to reach a proper
conception of the theme which inspired
the pen of the writer.
1t begins with the to give
thanks. ct is all we can give Him."
says Sturgeon, "and the least we can
give; therefore let us diligently render
to Him our thanksgiving. This is mot
the only call in the Scriptures to give
thanks. A score Of times the psalm
list challenges men to the performance
of this duty, and he sets the example,
and furnishes the words for u graft
tude to express itself in song after
song of praise. Nor is the duty rested
alone on Old Testament precept. 1t is
not less a Christian duty. most assured
ly, to recognize the mercies and loving
kindnesses of God, than it was under
the old and shadowy dispensation Of
the law. "In everything give thanks"
BE thankful :, and "in everything by
prayer and duplication, with thanks
giving. let Your requests be made
known unto God AS the greatest -1er-
cics of God are found clustered about
the cross, and expressed in the gift of
His Son, so the warmest recognition Of
them. and the heartiest praise and
gratitude for them, belong of rights to
those who nave their lives frightened
by the sunshine of Christianity.
We have the foundation INC reason
for Thanksgiving, For He is good, for
His mercy endureth forever" Tine one
hundred and thirty-siSth Psalm takes
up this thought and runs it as a re
frain through the whole texture of the
song, as though to connect every act of
Gods providence in nature and in the
history of His people, with His
Astounding mercy as it's source. And is
it not so? What have we that is not
of mercy? Mercy has been defined
favor to the undeserving." According
to this definition, all the joy and COM
fort, all the Common good, and all the
daily supplies of life, as well as the
gifts of grace, are lnercies for we do
not deserve any of them!

1t is not the thing o do so much
as the spirit in which you 10 1t hat
makes it great or small. Faith de-
tcrmines this spirit, for faith is that
which fashions the ideal of the one we
love, the ideal we serve n for which
we ioyfully suffer. The prophet whose
burning words we canno forget lives
by the faith in a vision broad and
sweeping: but not less is the faith Of
the humble toilcr who lives each day
by the vision of his home and fireside.
Nor is this all. 1t is faith that
ore and refreshing; it is faith that
finds inner contact with the invisible.
How empty is life If it hold nothing
but things; how hungry grows the
heart fed only On cold facts. Fol each
day as it We need to be able to
draw on the deep springs of the water
of life, the springs from which our IA
theirs drank and found strength to lay
the foundations Of our day.
Faith is not the blind confidence that,
somehow, Providence will send us daily
bread. 1t is the faculty by which the
heart eats of the bread of heaven, by
which it comes into fellowship with the
great and immortal of all ages, by
which it walks with Jesus of Nazareth
and every spirit like His and learns
to read life as love and law and see it
as leading to eternal good.

Take up the ark of the covenant II

The long journey in the wilderness
is over; the endless stretches on saE'H

grims no longer. Beyond the swiftly

afterward animated Douglas to take
from his breast the jeweled heart of
the dead Bruce and fling it over the
heads of the advancing foe, shouting:
Flight, my men, for the heart OF
Bruce!" So Joshua, with the deep re-
ligious consciousness of n Jew, gives
the order to carry forward the ark
of the covenant. No one of his follow
ers will dream of tagging behind when
he sees that sacred symbol III front.

FAITH FOR THE FUTURE.

By Henry Z. Cope.
BY faith Abraham when he was
called to go out . . 8 went out not
knowing whittier he went.-Hebrews
IL IS.
You cannot tell much about a mans
faith by his Willingness to deal in
futures without any foundation in fact.
And yet no man is ready to face the
future unless his heart is neryed by a
high and worthy faith. This alone can
give strength to look down the coming
days and to take up their tasks.
None of US can know what these new
days hold for us; fear readily CON
jures up pictures of disaster. But be-
cause of certain sublime condolences we
hold we Danish our fears, shake off
our sloth and gladly step out into the
unknown and untrodden country OF to-
morrow.
Faith is the force of all the ages. It
accounts for the past; it enters and de-
termines the future. Because certain
men in days gone by believed certain
things intensely; because they were
thrilled by great visions, by glorious
ideals, history was wrought out in the
forge of their convictions, under the
hammer of their wills.
No great things are done except by
the power of faith, under glowing
hopes and compelling convictions. tits
her faith in her boys future that makes
the mother willing to suffer. keeps her
patient, that buoys up the father in
the strife and WEAKNESS of life. No
man or woman is doing anything that
makes the world richer for mere bread
n butter; some purpose and vision is
behind the worthy work.
It is because somehow we believe.
no matter how we may phrase the be
lief, that destiny is behind this strange
weaving we call life that we are con
tent to seem to be the shuttlcs ierked
hither and thither. We bear the ills
of to-day because we dimly see the
| glorious goal of the good of all. We
do a full days work only as we see
somehow an eternal wage.
1t may belong to few OF us to be
heralded as heroes, and the judgmen;
| of history may confer on none the mar
tyr's crown, but the hero's joy and the
martyrs glory are in the heart OF
everyone who boldly reaches up to and
lives out the highest he conceives, for
he will not do that without sacrifice
and pain on his side nor without en-
riching mankind on the other.
The largest faith may be manifest
In the lowliest places. When all the
work of the ages appears, when the
weaving of the centuries is turned
| with It's finished side towards US, we
may see that the man who has laid
the brick or FED the furnace or The
woman who has washed and cooked
and tended the little ones, doing these
things for love, has shot the most glow

Deafness cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by the inftamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness {caused by Catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
