Rev. A. L. Tedford. pastor of the Fed erated church, GreeneyiIIe, was the speaker at the Y. M. c. A. service Sun day at 330 D. m. He took as his sub ject "A Determined Purpose" The speaker discussed in a very impressive way the great purpose of Jesus as he "steadfastly set his face toward Jeru- salem" notwithstanding the fact that the cross and all of it's bitterness await ed he'd i'd not waver when the devil tempted him. He saw the path of his purpose and gladly walked in it. He consecrated his best manhood to the one great purpose of redeeming the world Daniel had a definite purpose and without regard to what thee cost might be he did not waver from the path of his purpose.
 I hope, said the speaker, that every one of you men have a real purpose in life and that you have consecrated that purpose to the Lord. If you cannot thus consecrate it. you had better change your purpose.
 The Swahn orchestra made the ser vice attractive by beautiful selections, we'll rendered.

DloeENEs' ADVICE CITED.
By Rev. Thomas A. GrumbIy in Sermon at St. PatricIs Church-Wise to Consider the End

The advice of Diogenes. to consider the end whatever the undertaking, was the theme of the sermon by Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly at the high mass in St. Patric1's church Sunday This was in line with the gospel for the Sunday, Matt. xxiv. 15-35, prehguring the end of the world and the final judgment.
 Men who pretend to believe that death ends all know better the preacher said Even the savage tribes found by Livingstone in Africa had the idea of a future life and punishment for evildoing. Realizing how much de- bends upon saving or losing the soul it is strange that men devote so much care to the body. yet neglect the more important duty of preserving the soul in a fit state to be returned to it's Maker.
 The soul is trampled in business. be- trayed in friendship, imprisoned in the licentious man, annihilated in the drunkard. The speaker pointed out that common sense and reason should prompt a different treatment of the soul upon which ones fate for eternity depends.
 For the offertory selection Choir Director F. l.. Farrell had selected the Bach -Gounod Ave Maria.

D0h' itU, CALUMEL
Thousands Experience Bed After Ef fects From This Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is pr, Edwards Olive Tablets for the Liver.

Dr. F. M Edwards, a prominent phy- sician of Ohio, has discovered laXa- tive and liver toner in a combination of vegetable material mixed with olive oil which is in effect almost exactly like calomel, except that there are none of the bad after effects.
 DF. Edwards has long been a foe of calomel, though he recognized it's value along with it's dangers.
 His distFust of the uncertain drug eventually started him years ago, iowagus experiment. with the view of discovering a substitute, and he has been for several years in possession oS tho lorg- sought flor combination which is in the shape of a little sugaF-eoated, olive colored tablet.
 he results of IT years experience ard practice are embodied in these marvel lous little tablets.
 They are called Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. And their effect on the liver has been the means of relief to many of Dr. Edwards regular patients as well as to thousands of others who have suffered and were afraid of cal tnlel.
 There is no necessity when you take Dr Edwards Olive Tablets, by follow ing them up with nasty sickening, gripping salts. or castor oil as you do after taking ealomel Try them. l0c md 25c per box The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus O. All druggists.
