If There Be No Christ.

My friend, you say there is no Christ;
You say the sciences reveal
Unto the world this fact!
Whv do | turn my back?
That | may conceal
The tears that fill my dim old eyes!
Long years ago my precious son
Dropped from the ranks of men;
If there be no Christ, all, then
I never more his blessed face shall Sc,
Nor shall he call in tender tones to me
Across the wide abyss Of many years,
If there be no Christ, my friend,
If there be no Christi
And then, my patient wife for forty
years
Walked by my stumbling side,
Until one day they said she died;
And as she went away, of Christ she
sang
Oh, those old songs, Sc sweetly rang
From her dear, old faithful lips!
She went to Christ in JOY she said
But if there be no Christ, she's dead
If there be no Christ, my friend,
If there be no Christ
-
Then what is left for me,
SO old and weak, and scarce can see?
No hope no life, no resurrection day;
No stores in Heaven where never may
The thief break through nor steal;
Nor shall | hear the sounding peal
OF Gods triumphant host
Oh, the labor that I've lost
No crown to follow cross,
If there be no Christ, my friend,
If there be no Christ!
l fondly hoped that on some happy
shore
I'd meet my loved ones, where for
evermore
Wed dwell together in the crystal
light,
Nor ever dread a coming night,
Nor shudder when the wind blew cold
Across the fields so bleak and bold
Outlines I'd glance where white and
still
! saw the graves my darlings fill
chuckled with faith made bold
They're not out in all that cold"
And, oh, that thought was sweet, you
know
But then, of course, it isn't so,
If there's no Christ, my friend,
If there be no Christ!

Kill More than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed year
ly by wild beasts doesn't approach
the vast number killed by disease
germs. No life is safe from their
attacks. THEY'RE in air, water, dust,
even food. But grand protection is
afforded by Electric Bitters, which
destroy and expel these deadly dis
ease germs from the system. That's
why chills, fever and ague, all mala-
rial and many blood diseases yield
promptly to this wonderful blood
purifier. Try them, and enjoy the
glorious health and new strength
they'll give you. Money back if not
satisfied. Only soc at M L Aliens.

maneuverS this summer
All ordinary geographical landmarks
which air men ought to know about
Will be put in. On the other hand, the
air map viii contain much informa-
ton which geographical maps leave
out and will leave out many facts
which ordinary maps display promi-
ncntly.
The height of mountains viii be put
in SO that aviators may gauge the
heights at which they are flying. Peo-
pie who travel on foot identify distant
cities by the perpendicular shapes Of
their buildings. But TO the air man
who passes above them cities have no
perpendicular dimension at all They
are perfectly fat, and he can only
identify them by their horizontal con
tours. On the Aero club maps these
horizontal contours VIII be described.
The shapes Of lakes will also be
marked. because they are good marks
for high flying air men.
At night air men can only tell where
they are by the light OF cities. and it
is the plan Of the Aero club to com
pile elaborate data as to these lights.
every city has some building or street
which is lighted differently from the
buildings or streets OF any other city.
and this fact will be noted
The air maps already prepared in
Germany show the different light
houses, and the Aero clubs new map
IS 20 show them too. Germany has
gone so far as TO construct a series OF
inland lighthouses for the guidance
OF night flying airships. The air maps
Of Germany are elaborate and have rs
many as fifty different special signs or
emblems- The cities and towns have
official numbers on the German air
maps, and the various European coun-
tries have official letters. Each han
gar or air harbor IN Germany flies a
number and letter showing what city
and country It is IN. thus enabling the
passing air man to FIX his location.
