Women Who Are Envied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of Many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or Kidney p~oisons show in pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. For such, Electric Bit
ters work wonders. They regulate
Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, purify
the blood, give strong nerves, bright
eyes, pure breath, smooth velvety
skin, lovely complexion. Many charm
ing women owe their health and beau
ty to them. soc at c. ID. Kendalrs.

SO, for all the times that have sinned
by act or thought would but be mis-
takes or errors and / would be pure.
She says that there is no sickness or
death. One Of the Christian Scientist
ministers while saying this in one Of
his talks fell dead. He just passed
away. The bible says people sinned.
Any one who is deceitful or desperate
ly mean is a sinner. They call them
selves followers of Christ. Christ ad-
mitted that there was sin when He
forgave sinners when they kneeled be-
fore Him and sought pardon. He
never said there was no sin. Jesus
was born for the purpose of saving
people from sin. How do we get rid
of sin? The blood of Jesus Christ
cleanses our sins.
Grown In COnceit.
1.-The trouble with some of the peo-
pie in this world is that they have
grown in conceit. The trouble is in
their head. Our heads are bigger than
ourselves. There is no other name
whereby we may be saved except
through Jesus name. Some people
are happy in their religion and saliva
ton and go to church and worship
God because they enjoy doing 1t.
Others go If they like the singing and
don't go If they don't like it. They
think that the church is nothing but
a club, a place for meeting their
friends. Any one who has ever been
able to pray to God and has dropped
so low that he can not now say thank
God is to be pitied more thany any
one else.
THE people who go to church nova
days are restrained in their actions;
they always want to do the proper
thing according to the rules of ETH
quette. There is not the spontaneous
life in the congregation today that
there used to be. l would be scared
to death if anyone should say Amen >
