A well-known divine was preaching
enc Sunday morning on the subject
Of "The Great and Small Things OF
Creation" To illustrate his thought
that nothing was either too vast or
too tiny to be Of interest to God. he
proceeded in these words:
THE Creator OF this immense uni
verse created also the most infinite
sinai atom in 1t. The Architect Of
these vast mountains fashioned also
the tintest thread Of gold running
through them. The God who made
NE made a daigv." -Lippincott

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test Of years and to-day IS
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, inham-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fatulency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If yog, would like special advice
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free OF

prove that hay fever could be cured
by wearing lighter clothing. These

as if they were new. Yet Benjamin

said:

The Sense of Humor.

At a late period in his life, when he
felt that his past labOrS entitled him
to rest. Mark Twain, the humoriSt, who
has Just ended this life's work. found
himself suddenly overwhelmed by an
enormous debt.
The knowledge of this debt came
upon him unexpectedly. He thought
he was rich man. but now he was
worse than poor. On consulting his
lawyers they offered him means of
freeing himself from his emharrass-
menU. They said To him:
Legally you do not owe this money.
The law will never compel you to pay
it 50 don't worry any more"
Put" replied Mr.. Twain. isn't
there a moral obligation in the mat
ter? Morally. ought | not 20 pay this
money"
The lawyers shrugged their shoul-
dcrS. Ii Mr.. Twain wished to concern
himself with the moral law. that was
not their affair. They had told him
J." was free so far as the law of man
was concerned. Mark Twain could
not see it that way.
He believed that honor is not elias
tIc. that honor demands a strict OBJ
Scrvance of the moral law, that honor
cannot he honor when it takes adNan-
tagc of Quirks and Quibbles to get rid
of a responsibility. He assumed oncr-
Gus ana often disagreeablc work. He
tuiled early and late. He told the peo-
pie To whom the money was due they
should be paid dollar for dollar.
And he kept his word. 1t was years
before ne was free from the burden.
but at last. on" day, the last debt was
paid and Mark Twain could look all
the world squarely in the face. and
say:
My conscience is clear. I have kept
the faith
Much has been written of the lit

story of how. far past the prime of

all of whose pupils come from culti-

from church-going families, asked her
class of over fifty members if they
could recall any we'll known historical
incident connected with Egypt.
Getting no reply, she hinted at the
fact that the Jews came out of Egypt
and attempted to recall to them the
story of Joseph. but not one Of them
could give her any account of 1t, ana
one of them. franker than the rest,
