Nearer, My God to Thee
Would Have to Go, Too.

Roanoke Times.
Those bigotetd professors of
Christianity who objected to Mr..
Taft on account Of his Unitarian
beliefs, should place a ban upon
the use in church worship of
that beautiful hymn, Nearer,
My God, to Thee" which was
written by a Unitarian believer,
the daughter of a Unitarian min
lister, and for use in the Unita-
rian Church. 1t is perhaps the
most popular hymn that has ever
been written, and one from which
the devout soul has drawn more
consolation. In a sense, it has been
sung around the world. Some
exception has been taken to the
hymn by the strictly orthodox,
on the claim that the appeal is
directly to God, and not through
Christ to God. there being nc
reference in the hymn, directly
or impliedly, to Christ. But re.
gardless of the claim, the noble
hymn has gone it's way, sung il
exery church, and by professor:
of every creed.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken intern
ally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the SYSTEM
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
