No time to prayl
o, who SO fraught with earthly care
AS not to give to humble prayer
Some part of day7


No time to prayl
What heart so clean, so pure within,
That needeth not some check to sin
Needs not to pray?


No time to pray!
Mid each days danger, what r,streat
More needful than the mercy seat2
Who must not pray2


No time to prayI
Must care or business urgent call
So press us as to take it all,
Each passing day?


No time to prayl
Then sure your record falleth short;
Excuse will fail You as resort
On reckoning day.


What thoughtmOre drear
Than that our God his face should hide,
And say through all lifc's swelling tide,
No time TO hear!


Cease not to pray;
On. Jesus as your all rely,
Would you live happy-happy die,
Take time to prayI

Dear Sir: 1t is extremely gratifying to me TO be
able 10 announce perfect cure Of both cancers
the one internal as well as the ono on the breast.
The wonderful effect of your remedies in my case
astonishes my friends. My general health has been
made good. would not be placed in the condition
in six months ago, for fifty times what it has
cost me TO get well. do wish that people would
not be so blinded by prejudice to TRUTH but try
ture's remedies and be restored to health. l am
personally acquainted with others-some in my
own famy-that you have cured, and have all the
the confidence in the world in your skill. Your
mode of treatment for such chronic Diseases seems
to me is just what is needed. If other physicians
would turn their attention 10 a successful treat
ment of such diseases, there would be less suffer-
ing in the world. You can refer 70 me and my case
whenever you feel dispose, to do so; and shall be
happy at any time to answer questions for the ben
eft of the suffering, if called in person, ad-
dressed as above. You can rest assured that if l
should ever require treatment again, and yon are
among the living, that you will be called npon in
preference 10 all others.

An interesting lawsuit is now in pro-
gress at Chicago, which has all the features
of the trials and tribulation experienced by
Giux's baby. It appears that about year
ago young girl by the name of Ellen Ken
nedy was taken out of the streets, where
she was found suffering from want and
misery, and sent by order of the Mayor to
the Orphans Asylum in that city. 1t was
subsequently found that the girl had
widowed mother who, however, was very
poor and had no means with which to sup
port her daughter. She expressed her
thankfulness to the Mayor for caring for
her daughter and seemed greatly pleased
that her burdens had been lightened. Time
passed however, and Mrs. Kennedy became
Mrs. Burke, and became possessed of
daughter. The mother thought it best
that Ellen should stay where she was, how
ever, and nothing was said about removing
her. A short time since Ellen was taken
i'll, and the report reached her mother that
she was not expected to live. The mother,
in the strength of her Catholic faith, de-
sired that her daughter should be prepared
for death by clergyman of her church.
A clergyman was accordingly sent to the
Asylum but was refused admittance on the
ground of his being Catholic. An ap-
peal was made to the trustees of the insti-
tuition, and the refusal was confirmed, not
withstanding the fact that the charter of
the institution prescribed no religious tests
in the distribution of its benefits. The
mother then thought to reclaim the child,
but was unable to do SO. She therefore
procured counsel, who caused writ OF
habeas corpus to be issued, which is to be
heard before the Courts. The child, it is
said, unlike little Ginx, is likely to live
while the dispute goes on.
