The COzens Revival.

AS a preliminary to his sermon on the
subject Two Angels" Rev. William J.
Cozens, who is conducting the very sue
cessful evangelistic services at the Free
Baptist church. gave talk on Card
Playing and Theatre Going.'
TIE speaker first considered card play
ing. He said that he did not include au-
thors and harmless games in what he
was about to say. For whist. euchre
poker and kindred games ne had only
condemnation. OF bridge, lie said that it
drives out love of reading and mental
Improvement and education. When not
playing the devotees of the game are
counting uD their losses or studying the
rules. Norty-five million dollars was lost
last year by society women in the world
1t is gambling to play for small prize
as much as large one. The speaker
said that gamblers are not made in
gambling dens. but in homes and draw
ing rooms.
Of theatre going he said that it is a
Goddess institution for Goddess people
When a play is most attractively adver-,
tised, he said. it was described in the
newspapers: This is no Sunday school
show
The most moral play ever put on the
boards was probably ''Bluebeard." which
was being presented at the time of the
1roruois theatre fire. 1t was considered
good enough for cergymen and Sunday
school children to attend and the speaker
read two verses of one of the choruses
that We're sung. He declared "Bluebeard
to be a burlesque on Heaven" The
verses were:
lima CINE no as on my harp I play
Good morning, have YOU used Pears

IN Il land that's far away?
"ln q land that's far away,
No motnlman to yell or grllnt
There's lots Of room for YOU in front

passage, John xx:11-12: but Mary stood
without at the sepulchre weeping; and as
she wept, she stopped down. and looked
into the sepulchrc. and saw two angels

No other medicine for Woman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for woman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, Liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
Ithas relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolves
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, 1ndiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostitution,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "don't care "and
"want to- be left alone" feeling,
excitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness,
fiatulency, melancholy or the "blues."
These are indications Of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as we'll as slight arrangement
OF the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
