Never Without Blood.

ask people who believe in the Bible
and yet try to ignore the doctrine OF
blood, what are you going to 90

From the time that Adam fell in
Eden, to the present time. there has
never been a soul saved but by the
shedding of blood; there has never
been a soul prepared for coming to
God except by the shedding OF 6lood.
The Holy Ghost CONES and dwells
with that soul that is washed by the
blood of redemption. And 1t be-
comes a temple for the Holy Ghost
to dwell in, but never until it has
been cleansed by the shedding of the
blood. 1t is the blood alone that
purges from iniquity.--D. l.. Moody.

He cannot justly be charged with
il~liberality who "adheres to that

vided. A starving man who casts

faith, which has proved SO good, SO
long as only the vague and ghostly
chimera Of "advanced thought Is
proposed to take its place? Some
of us know that faith in Christ is a
very real and precious and joyous
possession, a comfort in sorrow. a
help in trouble, a spur to higher
living. a source of assured hope for
the life beyond; what has science, or
human philosophy, or any of the

Our Uproarious Supreme Court.

During the consideration recently
by the Supreme Court of the United
States of a certain case OF copyright,
counsel introduced a number of per-
forated rolls used in mechanical pi-
amos and organs, and passed them
up to the court as exhibits.
Chief Justice Fuller handled one
of the rolls %curiously, and then OBJ
served in solemn and profound tones:
II observe that this roll in my hand
bears the inscription, Am I Yo'h
Kentucky Babe?' 1 should like to
inquire whether this personal appeal
will render it improper for my dis
tinguished associate, Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian, to sit in this case?"
Before the Kentucky justice could
make himself heard above the decor
GUS smiles of the attorneys, the court
had waived the tentative objection,
and the case went on.-Success.

Accent Your Gross.

We need not go hunting crosses;
but we must not evade them
IL they come. Christ did not come
to the earth for the sake of dying.
His aim was the redemption of man
kind, and because the cross was in
the way of the accomplishing Of that
redemption, He did not shirk it, but
set His face steadfastly toward it as
He journeyed in the way of duty.
The secret of His strength was in the
knowledge that in lowliness OF heart
He was saying to the Father: "Tby
will be DONE" His conscience was
clear and His purpose unfinching,
and He saw His JOY through it all.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should q list Of the ingredients CT Pc

he would be obliged to admit without

ally acknowledged toni, remedies.
That i'll Que or the other CT these uses
they have stood the test of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can. be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some Of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for CO
tarrhal diseases, and forsuch conditions
of the human system as require q tonic.
Each one Of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has q reputation Of its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as G tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh Is q dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and yer again, and been told
that their case is one Of chronic catarrh.

the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics. 3.

Moderate Drinking.

If moderate drinking led to more
moderation, and that to total absti-
renee, it would not be dangerous.
The trouble is that it leads to more
drinking and intemperance. Fifty
years ago, in France, the people
drank freely of light wines, using
little strong drink. But the French
people have learned a sad lesson. The
wines created a thirst for in~toxicants,
and now strong drink has a firm ola
on that people. Light wines are no
longer satisfactory; distilled liquor
and drunkenness are the common
thing. The average consumption OF
alcohol is thirty-three pints a year to
each inhabitant, twice as much as In
any other country in Europe except
Switzerland; eight times as mucn
90 in Canada. It Is a sad common
tary on moderate drinking, but a
very suggestive one.-Herald and

SELF DELUSION
Many People Deceived by Coffee.

We like to defend our indulgencies
and habits ever though we may be
convinced of their actual harmful
uess.
A man can convince himself that
whisky is good for him on a cold
morning, of beer on a hot summer
day-when he wants the whisky or
beer.
It's the same with coffee. Thou
sands of people suffer headache and
nervousness year after year but try
to persuade themselves the cause Is
not coffee-because they like coffee.
while yet a child l commenced
using coffee and continued it," writes
q Wis. man, until | was a regular

headache nearly every afternoon.
MY folks thought it was coffee
that allied me, but | liked it and

my trouble, sc ! stuck to coffee and
the headaches stuck to me.
Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Pos
tum. They made it right directions
on pkg and told me to see what
difference it would make with my
head. and during that first week on
Postum my old affection did not
bother me once. From that day to
this we have used nothing but Postum

BITTER WAR ON iNTEMPERANCE
SOLDIERS FIGHTING THIS CURSE
GREATLY CHEERED.

The Brewers observation-disclosures
Which Prove the Talk About
"Pure Liquors. is a Sham and
a Delusion.
1t is interesting to no.e the adroit
tactics to which the men who, to a
large extent, control the liquor in
terests in certain States, are COM
PEELED to resort in the futile hope
Of checking the great temperance IT,
dal wave. Seeing how deadly to the
drink traffic the publication Of eco
nomic statistics has proved, the brew
ers, borrowing a leaf from the tenn
perance advocates book, are now
publishing statistics of their own.
That these are manufactured Ito
order" need hardly be explained, but
what is not 80 easy to understand Is
how any one could accept them SER
Iously.
1t is not a difficult matter to man
gle even official statistics so as to
make them prove almost anything,
no matter how preposterous. Con-
corning this mangling process, we
may have something to say later.
Meanwhile, our esteemed contempt
rary, the New York Sun, gives both
sides to the controversy a more I'M
mediate subject for consideration. A
correspondent of that exceedingly
live journal lifts the lid" IN some
Of the secrets of the brewing houses,
and the disclosures are of a character
tat may we'll make even the steady
drinker ask himself whether the
brewers and distillers' claim OF
pure liquor" is not a hollow sham
and a pitiful delusion. He quotes
from a leading publication Of the
brewing trade:
In the advertising pages I find
as follows: An entire page devoted to
the merits of Patent Brewing Ma
terials," which by their virtue are
supposed to keep beer without the
use of ice. Another page headed,
Better Beer With Less Malt" and
advocating the use Of sugar rather
than malt or rice. On another page
the advertisement of an individual
who offers for sale Pure Beer Ex-
tract Coloring" and "Porterine." On
still another page Is the advertise
ment of a system of fermentation,
by which 1t is claimed that perfect
draft beer car be produced In from
fourteen to twenty-eight days." and
perfect export and bottle beer IN
from twenty-one to thirty-fve days
from day of brewing" I also find
the advertisement of "beer color,
salicylic acid, preserving cakes, pure
malt color, aromatic deztrin malt
all these things being made by n
firm. Also "the best preservative
for ale and lager beer" Also the
advertisement of "maltoid, flake
malt, grits and brewers meal" Also
"isinglass, guaranteed free from
starch"
This analysis of embalmed or pre-
served beer and chemicalized liquors
| cannot be a very agreeable subject
| of contemplation for those misguided
mortals who indulge the hallucina-
ton that these beverages are pure.
Yet we see the brewers and distillers
widely advertising their purity and
healthfulness;" whereas, as their
own trade journals show, they are
for the most part as vile and inju-
| rious as could we'll be imagined

lark Secret of a Brewery.

Not a great while ago I made a
trip through a large brewery IN an
other State. 1t was n OF the larg-
est in this section of the country
and covered many acres OF ground.
We were led through almost innum-
cradle departments, so that nearing
the end of our journey we supposed
that we were fairly familiar with the
manufacture of American lager beer.
But at the final stage of the journey,
when one Of the party asked per-
mission to pass through a certain
door into the room beyond, u con-
ductor said: THAT is one place that
/ cannot take you. Visitors are not
allowed in there"
What we all wanted to know was,
What was done in there? The nest
Of the huge establishment was or ap-
peared to be freely open to US, ex.
cept this Bluebeard room. One OF
our party asked the monitor II this
was where the "preservative" was
injected. A bleak silence followed.

probably be completed by April, 1911.
The bricks used are baked twice,
with wood fire, and then submerged
in water for a week before being
used. The number Of men employed
Is about a hundred, and $500 bricks
are laid daily. The foundation has
been made strong enough to bear a

How Character Is Made.

One of the chief dangers of life Is
trusting occasions. We think that
conspicuous events, striking expert
ences, exalted moments have most
to do with our character and capacity.
We are wrong. Common days, mo-
notonouS hours, wearisome paths
plain old tools and everyday clothes
tell the real story. Good habits are
not made on birthdays, nor Christian
character at the new year. The Wis
ion may dawn, the dream may waken,
the heart may leap with a new in
spiration on some mountain top, but
the test, the triumph, is at the foot
of the mountain, on the level plain.
