SICK HEADACHE

Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach.
Correct them and the periodic attacks
of sick headache will disappear. Mrs.
John Bishop Roseville, Ohio, writes:
about a year ago / was troubled
with indigestion and had sick head
ache that lasted for two or three
days at a time. I doctored and tried
a number of remedies but nothing
helped me until during one of those
sick spells a friend advised me to
take Chamberlain's Tablets. This
medicine relieved me in a short time. .

IS ADDITIONS TO
BAPTIST CHURCH
REV. LEAvELL's SERMONS BEAR
ING FRUITS-MANY UNABLE
TO GET IN BUILDING.

The meetings at the First Baptist
church begin the third week with in
creased power and earnestness. The
congregations Sunday morning filed
every available place and at night
large numbers of persons were turned
away.
Mr.. Leavell preached sermons Of
great effectiveness. In the morning he
spoke on the Atonement, at which
time he declared that every point of
justice in which God would condemn a
man was fully met in the sacrificial
work of the Christ. He bore all of
the Things at which men hesitate;
ridicule, agony, thirst, being forsaken
of God, and indeed every point of need.
Jesus Christ, said the speaker, is our
High Priest and sacrifice for sin.
At night he described the three
crosses. There we're three crosses on
Calvary, which represented the gospel
offered to all men. The first cross
represents every ground of mans sal
walton and need. The man had his
feet and hands tied, and he was saved
only by the merits Of Jesus. The last
cross was where the gospel was re-
jected. 1t was the triumph of sin and
unbelief over suffering Lord. The
blood of the savior was mingled with
the blood of the one who rejected sal
vation. The man spurned every offer
of peace and of mercy.
There were a large number of pro-
fessions of faith and thirteen additions

report. The meetings will continue
every day at 1000 a. m. and 7:3O p. m

Bilbo charged with having solicited a
bribe in connection with the bill for
new county, to come up for hearing
Thursday, April 9th.
District Attorney Thames told the
court he would like to have the case
set about that time as it would take
that long to get rid of other business
pending. Judge P t Henry, for the
defense, appealed to the court to have
it set for next Monday, as it will take
some trouble to secure a jury, he said.
He asked the court how the jury was
to be procured, recalling that the

been drawn from a box provided with
a number of names. Judge Brien said
that the jury would be drawn in the
usual way, from the talesmen and by

REV. JNo. q. ANDREWS breaches
\. ON STONES IN WAY OF EVAN.
~ eELIsTIc SUCCESS.

With the largest crowd that ever
lin the big Main Street
80 present Rev. John
:: 81 = = = interest, .s;s,.
of Jesus at thS' - {nR Rus,
Take ye away the s(GGo ~ And
drews commented at lengtA upon
some of the stones the evangelist finds
in the average community inthe way of
raising the boys and girls and men and
women, from the death of sin into the
life of righteousness. Malice was the
first stone mentioned, and this he
characterized as perhaps the biggest
stone in the way of a revival.
Prefacing his discussion of the
Stones of Difficulty" Mr. Andrews
said that God works in the moral
realm largely through human agency;
that He never does anything for man
that man through the power of the
Divine Spirit can do for himself.
Speaking of the stone of Criticism,
Mr.. Andrews said cit takes less sense
to criticise than for any other human
vocation" He said in some communi-
ties he finds some people who even
criticise the kind of vest the preacher
wears and that it is no uncommon
thing to hear the expression. "Oh,
don't like that preacher at all, he is
always making people laugh. The
houseof God is no place for laughter"
Replying to this criticism the evange-
list said, "Bless your soul, that's just
what genuine religion does for folks
1t makes them laugh and it makes
them cry, and it puts to flight that
crouch in the human heart which can
see no good in a smile or a tear"
Smiles and tears are outward express
sions of inward emotions, and the man
who cannot smile or cry when occa-
sion demands is too callous to get
much religion"
Sunday Morning Service.
Mr.. Andrews's sermon Sunday morn
ing was addressed especially to chris
tions, with the avowed purpose of
arousing church members to a sense
of their duty in promoting the success
of this revival. His text was from
the 9Th chapter of Matthew: "Ye are
the Salt of the Earth; but II the Salt
have lost its Savor, wherewith shall
it be salted?" He laid stress on the
word 'it." saying that the world and
not the salt was referred to, and urged
upon christians to recognize their
God-given commission to save the
world.
