The latter pieces had been sold in Austria and Germany and the smugglers, it was said, picked them up in those two coun- tries when the low value of the cur rencies permitted them to operate on larger scale and make their purchases at low prices.

A Letter From REV. E. C. LEE.

Formerly Pastor of West End Cumberland Presbyterian Church MT. A. A. POlndexter, City,
 Dear Sir;
 l have had indigestion for years and no doubt spent over one thou sand dollars to get relief. It had gone into Catarrh of 8 very bad form and the prospect of recovery seemed hopeless. One day I was as- cOsted by MT. POindexter. who had become very much interested in my success as a minister. He told me what Poindexter's Golden Seal Tonic would do for me with all the earnest ness of his heart.
 Faith caused me to act and when I had taken the first bottle I mo- ticed remarkable change. Ten bottles cured me and put twenty pounds of flesh pR me, ! aR now enjoying better health than in twen- ty-fi~e years.

Death and Life

And 1 heard voice from Heaven savi <; Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord"
 Al first sight this seems a lugubri- ous subject for a Sermonette. but that all lies in the point Of view, of angle from which We mentally ap= proach. Let us consider it from this point
 Who are they who die in the Lord2 Are they those supposedly good peo pie who have passed all their life in doing few things they have been tauehf by their parents to eonside right. and in leaving undone few other things they have similarly been taught to consider wrong? don't think SO. To such negative exis tence doubt the right to enter the high realm of those who, die in the Lord
 What did the Apostle Paul mean when he said? .I die daily2' H. meant this: that within every human being lies battle field. upon which at the end of the day we may find our dead Drawn up in eonstan. fighting array, are the two opposing forces. On the one side our innate love of truth and God. brotherliness compassion and love for our fellow men. On the other side, strong compact band made up of envy, pride. egotism, greed. ignorance, hatred and injustice. Children of darkness whom We ourselves have nurtured and cherished and whom we must slav. O. by them be ourselves dragged down to darkness. The slayi these opposing forces is all the death there is. Laying aside the wornout covering we call our body is not death; that is Life. And they who wage daily and always within them
