CITY Sunday Evening.
well known and appreciated to need
any extended remarks of cOmmenda-
ton in these columns, suffice it to say
that his sermon was both eloquent and
appropriate for such an occasion and
that it was of the usual high standard
of quality expected from such an emf
nent speaker.
Taking for his text the seventh
beatitude of our Lord: Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they are the children
of God. the speaker reviewed the strug
gle that democracy has made from
time immemorial against the baneful
influence of corruption. He said that
the four great enemies of democracy
were; the power of war. the economic
power. the political power and the So
cial power. The speaker dwelt on the
horrors coincident with each of the ter
rible wars that blot the pages of both
ancient and modern history and de-
clared that the only war that has been
waged within the last 200 years that
could be justified was our own great
Civil War. THE Civil War was justi
fed" declared Mr.. Dunnack because
IL Sti uCh tHc SIldchfeS from the Dldck
race and because it preserved the
Union"
The speaker spoke with scorn and
bitter sarcasm of the political and So
cial powers that have thwarted the
struggles of democracy. SINNERS are
leaders of the financial world" declared
the speaker. Where once man with
sand bag knocked us down on the
street, we have now the corrupt labor
leader and where men formerly took
our money with cards they now sit be-
hind the directors table OF the railroad
corporations"
Mr. Dunnack drew vivid picture of
the hypocritical sinner. who dressed
well and gave{generousy and he point
ed out with much logic how impotent
was the struggle of democracy against
such forces. Continuing he said: 1.-The
battle of democracy has been long.
fierce and terrible and is not yet ended.
But it is slowly conquoring, it is now
palpable. where before it was obscure
and the Civil War was one of the
greatest blows ever struck for de-
mocracy." Mr. Dunnack's discourse
throughout was forceful and eloquent
and was listened to with the closest at
tention. The pleasure of the evening
was enhanced by the presence of the
Trinity Quartet. by which several
numbers were rendered. The program
for the evening was as follows:

HOW TO CURE ECZEMA
A New Idea That Upsets the Old
Method.

The old method of treating eczema
and similar skin diseases as blood dis
orders is being rapidly superseded by
the new compound called Cadum. This
remedy is applied direct to the affected
parts. thus excluding the air and
starting the healing process at once.
The itching ceases the moment Cadum
is applied, and the most stubborn
cases yield to it's wonderful curative
powers in a remarkably short time.
Other skin troubles, such salt
rheum, psoriasis, acne. herpes, letter,
itching piles, blackheads. pfmples,
eruptions, etc. are also cured quickly
by Cadum, which is sold by all drug
gists at 10c and Csc a box
