You are aware of the fact that the greatest

that Christian character Is worth more than

You also know that there Is not rnones, enough
earth to buy as good a character as the

Rs they were very painful and sore. I had to omit work that required putting my hands in water and could hardly work at all on account of the bleeding cracks. 1T finally procured some Cuticura>S Soap and Ointment. and I found by washing my hands in quite warm water and Cuticura Soap that they were improving.
