TEN YEARS A SUFFERER
Now a Well Nan.

One of the most painful diseases
which affiict mankind is Rheuma-
tism.
1t is not always dangerous, but
when it extends to the heart the
risk is very great.
If not checked, Rheumatism
gradually undermines the patients
health, wastes his strength, con-
tracts his muscles, stiffens his joints
and often makes him a cripple for
life.
Plant Juice affords almost in
slant relief from Rheumatism, by
neutralizing the uric acid and
driving its poison from the sys-
tenn. This was what it did for Mr.
J. S. Oldham, Birmingham, Ala,

102.-One Of the commandments
of the Bible reads, "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thYself";;
how may / know who is my
neighbor?
Answer.-Our Lord gives a clear
anser to this question in Luke X,
1887. He describes a man in dis
tress and need A priest came along
and seeing the man passed by on
the other side as if he were afraid
he would be contaminated by even
paving attention to the sufferer. A
/ Levite did likewise. Then came a
Samarita (Samaritans were mixed
people, common and despised by
the priestly class of jews, and
ministered unto the wants of the
suffer. The principle mere Is, tnat
every man is your neighbor and
should be treated kindly, generously,
according to tue Golden rule, DO
unto other as you would have them
do unto you" Love your neighbors
as Yourself and show that you do
love Them by dealing with all
honestly, fairly and exactly as you
would like others to deal with you.

proper principle saying DO good
unto all men as you have opportu-
nifty" Galatians VI, 100.

gave a very instructive talk about
the flags of our and other countries;
as the stars and stripes is the oldest
flag in the known world at the
present time. We as American
citizens are justly proud of the fact,
as it has withstood all changes since
the time that President Washington
and his assistants first had it
adopted in 1777 and long may it
wave DER the land of the free and
the home of the brave"
While the w. R. c. was in session
the G. A. R. thought that they were
not going to be left out so they had
guard stationed at the outside
door as we came down stairs and
said File right instead of left today"
and on entering the DINING room
we found the tables spread, and
they served delicious ice cream,
cake and lemonade which the ladies
certainly appreciated, as it was a
very warm day. Of course the G.
A. R. men wanted an excuse to
meet Mrs. Ball and took that way
