Our good friend, the Rev. A. !
Pie, is quite ill, and we know
that his many friends will bt
grieyed to learn that he is not en-
joying good health Mr.. Pike IN
til recently, bas displayed a seem
ing iron nerve, and great physi
cal strength, but it seems thai
disease has overtaken him and is
now praying upon him In a terri
bic way. He has been down town
only a very few times in the past
several weeks. Some ten days
ago. he was taken suddenly i'll
suffering from severe pain about
the heart, and his physicians
found it necessary to give him
medicine hypodermlcally in an
effort to arrest his intense suffer
ing. His physician, however, d.
agnosed the attack as stomach
trouble, and while there is nothing
much more serious. yet if the
preacher will take good care of
himself and be careful of the diet
he eats, we believe he will soon be
much better. We imagine that
often being in the ministry all
these years and coming in contact
withall the good things to eat that
are usually set before preacher,
it is sufficient of itself to cause
stomach trouble, hes TT disease and
many other diseases that the hu-
man body is heir to. If our good
friend will come and fast with
the writer a few weeks, he will
soon find himself with a genuine
gnawing stomach trouble sure
enough, however, we hope he will
soon be able to enjoy life IS he
seems ito have done in the past.
