TOO WEAK
TO FIGHT

The Comeback" man was really never
down.and-out. His weakened condition
because Of overwork, lack of exercise, i'm
proper eating and living demands stimula-
ton to satisfy the cry for health-giving
appetite and the refreshing sleep essential
to strength. GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil
Capsules, the National Remedy of Holland,
will do the work. They are wonderful.
Three of these capsules each day will put
a man on his feet before he knows it;
whether his trouble comes from uric acid
poisoning, the kidneys, gravel or stone in
the bladder, stomach arrangement or other
ailments that befall the over-zealous Amer
ican. The best known, most reliable rem
edy for these troubles is GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil Capsules. This remedy has
stood the test for more than 200 years
since its discovery in the ancient labora;;
tories in Holland. It acts directly and
gives relief at once. Don't wait until you
are entirely down-and-out, but take them
today. Your. druggist will gladly refund
your money if they do not help you. Ac-
cept no substitutes. Look for the name
GOLD MEDAL on every box, three sizes.

Faith Must Show Itself.

If the church is salt, then the church
must be different from the world
around 1t. If the church is light, then
the church must be unlike those who
have not committed themselves to the
leadership Of Christ. When Chris
tians say the same things which I'M
believers say, and do the same things
which scoffers do, they cease to be
leavening force In society. If faith
In Christ is to have any meaning, it
must show itself in the creation of
new type of man. A Christian should
have something in him not to be found
In any other human being. Unless he
is more in disposition, aim and con-
duct than those around him, he is not
giving the world the impulse or guild
ance which humanity is in need Of

A yoke is not an instrument of tor

It Is not malicious contrivance for

as If 1t were a slavery, and look upon
those who wear 1t as objects of COM
