about month but had to be on my
feet good deal and above my knee
came swelling as big as my fist. 1t
hung down and was as red as if it had
been blistered and so sore that I could
hardly get around. The cords of my
leg seemed to be stiff and the pain was
go bad at times that it made me faint.
One of the neighbors told me about
Sloan's Liniment so I got bottle and
put some right OF. Next morning I
could walk ever SO much better and /
kept right on using the Llniment night

". G. z. q. NOTES.

We ca1not place too high value
on the formative and educational
phases Of the temperance movement.
Let Us work and pray that there may
come to the church and to the hearts
of our people a Church-like desire to
cradle ate this accused evil form our
land. The only failure that can
come to the Christian reformer is the
failure to adhere to that which is
right. Peace, prohibition-on these
four "hang all the law and the
prophets' of the temperance re-
form. The liquor tribe will rage
awhile longer; but God is on His
throne: He has uettered His voice; !;
the liquor traffic is doomed to de-
struction. The Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is not only anti
saloon, but anti-brewery. anti-distl-
lery. anti any form of alcoholic IL
qnor making, or liquor selling, for
beverage purposes.
Shakespeare wrote. ooh! Thou in
visible spirit Of wine, if thou hast no
name to be known by, let US call thee
devil"
AS the eleventh commandment
given Us by our Lord and Savior is
applied more fully to the c1stoms of
society and the laws of our land,
this evil spirit in like proportion will
be cast out from the heart and the
home, the community and the nation.

If we knew the little losses
Sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then SO often chiGe him
For the sake Of thrift and gain
Leaving on bis heart shadow,
Leaving on our hearts stain?
If we knew that clouds aboveus
Held our gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Would we ehrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass.
While tits only birds Of Eden,
Just in mercy flying past?
If We knew the silent story
Quivering through the heart Of
pain,
Would our wonanhood dare doom
them
Back to hannts Of vice and ehane?
Life has many g tangled crossing,
Joy has many break Of woe,
And the cheeks tear-washed are
Whitest,
This the blessed angels know.
Let US reach within our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love to erring nature,
Cherish good that still Survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may, say, dear Father, Judge US
As we Judge our fellow men.
