Remember we sell clothing shoes, hats, drygoods, crockery, harness, saddlery and most anything you want. We will have your trade If prices are to be considered. If we walk by faith, it is possible for us to put the shadows of eurth beneath our feet. Economy is no disgrace ; it is better . living on a little than outliving a ereat deal. There is only one real failure in life possible; aiul ihai is, not to lie true to the best one knows. The man who is sure that he is in the right has littte temptation to treat has opponent unfairly. If your religion does not stand the test of God's judgment seat. Parents who are rude to their children need not be surprised if their children become rude to them. To have the advantage of an enemy, and yet abstaiu from using it, is to display true Christian maguanimity. Many have an idea that they are serving the Lord when they are meddling with what is none of their business. A more glorious victory caunot be gained over another man than this, that when the injury began on his part the kindness should begin on ours. How many there are who profess to forgive, but who cannot forget an injury. Such are like persons who sweep the chamber, but leave the dust behind the door. Friendship supplies the place of everything to those who kuow how to make the right use of it; it makes your prosperity more happy, your adversity . more easy. Prayer is bo mighty an instrument that no one ever thoroughly mastered all its keys. They sweep along the infiuite scale of man's wants and Uod's and goodness. There are people who have an idea that if a sin is universal, they have the right to indulge in it, and that if it is widespread, it is t-piead too thin to do my damage. mi uc, a4W,<.w.. iJMMBBHMPlBWWBMMBMMWBMBiMI I Sound ]V You know wlb m Clothing' . . w Hats . . .
