Should sIoan's Lfniment Go Alona?

Of course it should! For after a strenuous day when your muscles have been exercised to the limit an applica- tion of Sloan's Eminent will take the soreness and stiffness away and get you in fine shape for the morrow. You should also use it for a sudden attack of toothache, stiff neck, backache, stings, bites and the many accidents that are incidental to a vacation. We would as soon leave our baggage as go on a vacation or camp out without Sloan's 1iniment." Writes one vaca- tionist: "We use it for everything from cramps to toothache." Put a bottle in your bag, be prepared and have no regrets.

Rev. J. H. SeIden and choir of the Broadway church were at the Shel- tering Arms Sunday afternoon. The subject of the address was, God Talk ing With Men. Not 9, single charac- ter stands out in the Bible but that God spoke to that person simply and clearly, the preacher began. The voice of God came with comfort, in spiration and promise to Abraham After many years Moses answers the call of God. God comes to Elijah in the still, quiet voice and his heart is filled with new courage. As Paul reaches the gate of Damascus on his 6OO-mile journey he hears the voice. Why persecutest thou Me?
 If God only talked with men today wouldn't we have a little more pa ttence and courage? I think God speaks to us in wonderful ways. He wants to show us how near He can se. God comes to us in the experi- ences of life, through joys and suc- cesses; but through our sorrows He is more perfectly revealed. What God has done is what He is doing now So He tries to lead us all the way wish we could learn to put our trust in Him.
 Those who had the privilege of lis tening to the anthems so beautifully rendered by the Broadway church choir will not soon forget that part of the service. In the anthem, Show Me Thy Ways Mrs. F. s. Young gave the Contralto solo; in the others, o Love of God, and The Lord is My Shepherd, Mrs. Charles Tyler Bard was heard. Others in the quartet were Louis A. Wheeler and Walter r. Lester, F, D. Lester accompanying.
