HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
A Soldier of the Cross.

A Soldier of the Gross.
Am l soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall | fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?
Must | be carried to the skies
On howery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
Are there no foes for me to face?
must l not stem the food?
Is this vile world friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
Sure I must fight, if l would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord:
I'll bear the toll, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer though they die;
They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.

A Beautiful Face
Tho Secret of Partisan Women's
Beautiful Compilations.

To the minds of most women,
Partisan means beauty = so world
famous are the ladies of Paris for
making themselves charming and beau
tiful. And yet it is fact that
Parisiennes, so far as features are con-
cerned, haven't beautiful faces, as a
rule. Their beauty consists largely of
immaculate compilations. An Amer
lean lady, visiting friend in Paris,
obtained from her the secret of the
clear, charming compilations of French
women and says it is wash that is
prepared at home and applied to the
face daily.

The above wash is easily and quick
ly prepared at home, and is most

even to babys face, and soothing to

THE PHILOSOPHY OF, SIN.
Dr.. Buckner Reviews History of the
Fall If Man.

ali VI Nsdtls
An audience of 500 was at the meet
ing at the Methodist church last night.
A beautiful selection was rendered by
a male quartet. composed OF Messrs.
Gilmore, Arney, Fee and Stiles. DR..
Buckner preached a logical sermon on
the philosophy of sin, how it got into
the world why it was tolerated. and In
what manner it continues to exist.
The text was, '"T.hou shalt not eat of
it; for in the day that thou eatest
thereof. thou shalt surely die" We
must not get the impression that Cod
unnecessarily limits US within mar
row bounds There is plenty of room
for us to exercise to the fullest ex-
tent all our powers in the service of
God and men without getting over UNI
Ger the Jurisdiction of the devil.
AS to why sin was ever allowed to
exist among men, it is clear that il
men are to he free moral agents, they
must have the power of choice, the
freedom to choose the evil or the good.
If men had no option to do wrong,
they would be machines or automatons

Sometimes all these points Of contact
are broken, and then there is complete

at one stroke to destroy all these points
of contact. nor did he make e. straight

EAT WHAT YOU WANT
But Find the Way to Digest What
You Do Eat

The first thing to do in the case of
Indigestion or stomach weakness is to
strengthen the muscular walls of the
stomach and intestines. so that they
will care for the food that is eaten.
In no other way can this be done as
we'll as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet be-
fore each meal. This restores strength
to the stomach muscles and stimulates
the pouring out of gastric juices, then
the food digests readily and you begin
to get the full benefit from what you
eat.
Use Mi-o-na whenever you have sick
headache, heartburn, bad taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, spots before the
eyes, sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result of
Indigestion.
Mcbride & Will give with every so
cent box OF Mi-o-na a guarantee to re-
fund the money unless the remedy
cures.
