tried all sorts of medicines but nothing
helped her any.
She began to improve as soon as she
started taking Tanlac and right now

By E. Sauer, M. D.

Probably no remedy has ever met with such
phenomenal success as has Nuxated Iron IL
is eOnservatively estimated that over three mil

try alone. 1t has been highly endorsed and
used by Former United States Senators and
Members of Congress; Physicians who have been

Former Health Commissioner Wm. r. Kerr, Of
Chicago, says it ought to be used in every hes
pital and prescribed by every physician. Sarah
Bernhardt-''the Divine Sarah," the worlds most
noted actress. has ordered a large quantity sent
to the French soldiers to help give them
strength, power and endurance.

CHRISTIAN SHOULD
Be LIKE NAzAR|NE.
THINKS EVANGELIST
Something More Is Expected
of His Followers Than of
Other People, Declares Mr.,
Sunday in Afternoon

Billy Sunday, in his sermon at the
tabernacle Tuesday afternoon. applied
the test: What Would Jesus Do?" TO
the life and works of man. Christians,
he said. should be like Christ. They
should follow Him wherever He leads.
The sermon was preached in
gentler spirit than some of Billy's more
vigorous utterances have been. 1t was
a quiet sermon entitled FOLLOWING
Christ" and almost-not quite-tree
Of slang Here il is in full:
In the first epistle of John, second
chapter and sixth verse: He that
saieth he abideth in him ought himself
also to walk even as he walked.
/ regard that as one OF the most re-
Variable declarations of the Bible No
body can take exception to It Ger
tainly nothing less can be expected or
a Christian. Every wording is ready
to be a Christian he ought to be what
Jesus Christ is"
He ought to do the things that Jesus
would do and he ought to think the
thoughts that Jesus would think. Some
neopIe claim to be following Jesus
Christ as their Savior and yet they have
their backs turned on Him. judging by
their lives. by their fruits We shall
know them" not by their lips.
OF Jesus. Peter, James and John, when
thew set out to follow Jesus. they didn't
expect to say good-by TO Him when He
reached the next town. They under
stood they had to walk, talk and live
with him The first business OF life
is to be in harmony with HIS VIII.
Seek We first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness" They didn't expect
10 20 in the opposite direction.
Suppose when Jesus set His face TO
go TO Jerusalem some of His disciples
had picked up their belongings ana
headed for Damascus, where some or
then, had some trif1ing business of their
own. and suppose you'd have met this
caravan headed for Damascus and ask
ed. who are you and where are you go
ing?"
I'VE are disciples of Jesus, we are
followers of the Nazsrene."
We'll, where is Jesus?">
Going up to Jerusalem.
Yes. but you are going away from
Jerusalem"
yes. we are going to Damascus"
do you expect TO meet Jesus IN Ia
mascus?"
mo, He is going up to Jerusalem to
be crucified."
How can you say you are following
Him when you are not with Him.
"Oh. We just say so, that is all All
He wants is just to be able to count on
US. and that's all He gets"
"Are you letting Jesus Christ go to
Jerusalem alone?"
"oh, yes, He don't mind 1t. he is used
to il. He always goes alone"
Now, don't you see how that caravan
would be bewildered? Don't you see
how they'd be dazed? And just such
scenes are being witnessed all over this
land today. say, What are you doing
