Attack Like Tiuers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply SO fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, salt rheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach. liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.

! Special to tie NezUs.
Rain is the order of the day, and
it looks like there will be high wa.
ter. If the water gets out over the low
lands it will do great damage to the
growing crops, but the Lord knows
best. He sends the rain on the just
and the unjust, so be satisfied with it.
Come what may, there will be a way
provided for them that fear the Lord,
for he will visit you in the sixth hour
and in the seventh He will not forsake
us. Let us ever be ready to sing,
''Nearer, My God, to Thee" Let us
be ready at all times to do something
that will be pleasing to him who shed
His precious blood that we might live.
Let us be faithful and go on to pelfec-
tion. We all know if we try to live
right there are some of the devils
saints ready to say he or she is hyp-
ocrit. If they would stop and think
that they were not the judges, be-
lieve they would go away back and sit
down, and hide their faces In shame,
for God will mock them when they
ely and He will not hear them, so let
us be very careful what we say about
our neighbors, and keep the Golden
Rule in our minds. There is that class
in every neighbohood who go with
long faces and say things about their
friends and neighbors to cause strife,
when if they would go to the ones that
they are curling up their noses at.
they would not feel SO guilty to meet
with them, and their faces would not
turn so pale Last year all Of this
place seemed to be in harmony with
each other. New ones have taken the
places of some and there has been strife
stirred up that some will never forget.
A tattler and liar are TIE worst
things the human family has to con-
tend with, for they are dangerous. God
struck one man dead for telling a lie.
It might be we'll for all to read Gods
Word and love your neighbor as thy
self, for you and will have to stand
at the judgement and give strict ac-
count for what we have done, for
you SOW, that shall you
reap.
