Do vou know?

DO YOU hllO~
That the best things in the world
cannot be bought with money? Take
for instance, love, friendship, health,
happiness, honor and a quiet con-
science.
That doctors do not cure you; they
only aid nature, and when you think
you are fooling the doctor, if he really
has given the right advice, you are
deceiving yourself?
That sincerity Of purpose and right
dealing are as sure to bring success
as the sun shines?
That anger and hatred are as cer-
tainly poisonous as deadly drugs?
That people who are true and hon.
est seldom waste time assuring folks
! Of their virtue?
That people claim that the Lord
took their babies or relatives when
they we're sent to death by ignorance
| and carelessness?
That the employment Of time is
| what largely makes the difference in
| men?
That there is a vast difference be-
tween belonging to church and being
a Christian?
! That fresh air will do as much or
more than medicine? And that it is
foolish to take tonic simply because
spring comes? ~.
That gossipers are usually liars and
draw on their imaginations to make
the thing interesting; and that they
talk about you the same as any one
else?
| That the liver is one of the bes;
| crutches an ignorant doctor has tc
| fool the people with, and that all hare
vomiting will cause bile to appear?
That Christianity is the most liv'
able of religions; and the man OF
woman who tells you that it is mo-
practical altogether is a non-believer
That most Of the people we NEE
have some mighty fine traits; the rea
son we do not find the good is because
we do not want to?
That the reason people take s.
much interest in babies is becaus
while they are uncertain quantitie
4 they represent infinite possibilities ?
That most people are satisfied t
fool their friends and neighbors an,
a forget al about God and the future
And that we are very foolish to ex
j pect punishment to follow 1directl.

Written by his wife, Jennie john

He is gone. ~
Though his face still fingers near,
And the smile loved so dear,
Does still cling, as some sweet song,
Cheering the time that seems so long,
Though he is gone.
He is gone,
But his footsteps still l hear,
And his voice rings out so clear,
Till my soul rejects to feel ~.t
Something that I know is real,
Yet he is gone.
/
He is gone,
Yet in my memory still there remains
Truly, heart that God hath claimed,
A heart that reached for trodden down
Now God hath given him a crown,
Where he is gone.
He is gone,
To the land Of a perfect day, "A
Where all cares are vanished away; 1
There we'll meet to love and adore,
On Gods beautiful sunlit shore, Z
When I'm gone. 4;
