SAYS the Results He Got From
Tanlac Were Nothing Less
Than Wonderful

Captain Andy Ospring, engineer
on the Pennsylvania railroad, pull
ing the fast train known as th1
Keystone Express between Terre
Haute and St. Louis, declares that
the results he has received from Tan
lac are nothing less than wonderful.
Captain Ospring has been engi-
neer on the Pennsylvania railroad
for tha past forty years and 10 one
of the best known and most popular
men in the service of this road.
His home address is 629 North 10th
Street, East St. Louis. Relating his
experience with Tanlac to frisnds in
Terre Haute, few days ago, Cap
tain Ospring said;
"Tanlac will always get good re-
commentator from me for the re-
suits | have received from il are
nothing less than wonderful Before
taking this medicine l had suffered
from weak stomach. loss of appetite,
sluggish liver and rundown con-
dition for several years I could
never enjoy anything to eat, suffered
with severe pains in my back and
chest, and was continually losing
weight. The pains in my back were
so severe that l could barely bend
over, couldn't even sit comfortably
in my cab. and invariably finished
my run all tired out. l had gotten
to where dreaded to make my
runs and had lost several trips on
account of feeling so bad.
81 had taken lots of different
kinds of medicines, but all filled un-

mine in Terre Haute put me on to
Tanlac and that was the turninGA
point with me. Three bottles Of this
medicine have fixed me up in fine
shape and my weight has been in

appetite. don't have a pain of any
kind, and feel all OF fifteen years
younger. l make my trips regularly
never losing any time, and come in
from my runs without feeling all
tired out like used to. A medicine
that will do such things is certainly
worth while and will always say a
good word for Tanlac."

Christianity
| April Il to May :
The last National Congregation
al Council in appealing TO the
churches FOR forward movement,
used the following language:
Eve place on record our pro-
found conviction that our churches
are diyinely summoned 10 the
adoption of a new ideal Of service
and { broader range Of effort for
establishing the Kingdom Of tod.
A broken and troubled world calls
for deliverance. Our Nation, laden
with responsibilities of high leader
hip, must look 20 the Church of
Christ for guidance and moral pow
er. The cropping millions Of pagan
lands are ready for the message Of
the risen Christ. In the face of
the opportunity and obligation Of
the new day we must rise 10 a new
devotion or stand condemned at the
bar OF our own conscience and be-
fore the throne Of the infinite
Righteousness.
We shall do woeful injustice 20
ourselves and our age IL We see in
these words anything other than a
rigidly accurate description Of the
emergency which confronts us. At
three points the failure TO go be-
yond past standards Of achieve
ment means irreparablc disaster TO
the cause we love. The first is the
field Of evangelism. The second IS
the recruiting of leaders. The third
is the supply of money We can
not meet the needs Of the kind Of
world we are living in unless wt
can win more disciples. We can
not make the church potent unless
We recruit our leadership in num-
bers and in power We cannot do
either of these nor a score Of allied
things unless VIC give more honey
What the Money is To BE
Used For
There are many needs for this
large amount Of money and the
activities q e. use viii reach al
around the earth. OF the $4,000
to be raised ia Vermont $4,000
viii be used in this state alone in
helping the Congregational cause.
Some Of the other urgent causes
are:
Foreign Missionary Work.
Home Missionary Work
Minister'S Salaries.
Teachers Salaries.
Ministerial Pensions.
Educational Institutions.
