Good digestion means good health, and poor digestion means bad health. The minute your stomach fails to properly dispose of the food you eat, trou bles begin to crop out in various forma. Indigestion and dyspepsia are the common est forms, but thin, impure blood, head aches, backaches, pimples, blotches, dissi- neaa, belching, coated tongue, weakneae, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs, colds and bronchitis are almoet as common. There is but one way to have good health, and that is to put and keep your stomach - m good order Thia is easy to do if yon take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery. It is a wonderful tonic and blood purifier, and is so safe to take, for it In made of roots and herbs. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y„ stands behind this stand ard medicine, and it is good to knew that so distinguished a physician ia proud to have hie name identified with it. When you take Golden Medical Discovery, yon are getting the benefit of the experience of a doctor whose reputation goes all around the eerth. Still more, you get a temper ance medicine that contains not a drop of alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Longfago Dr. Pierce combined certain valuable vege table ingredients—without the use of alco hol—so that theve remedies always bavo been strictly temperance medicines. If piles are torturing you, get and urn Pierce’s Anodyne Pile Ointment. The quick relief it fives ia hard to believe until you try it. If constipated Dr. Pierce** Pleaaant Pellets should be taken while using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in deed are the cases which these splendid remedies will not relieve and usually over come.

' Summing up the teaching of the Scriptures concerning the death ot Christ, It 14 evident that somehow. In a way that wo may not fully compre hend, Christ's dpath mam the cross was a sacrifice for sin.

She said: “Carolyn May, 1 think you hud better go downstairs now. We mustn't 1 let our patient talk too much, ^t won’t be good for him.” * So Carolyn May s|iook hands with the old sailor and starred downstairs ahead of Miss Amanda. The latter lingered a moment to usk a question. “What was the nuine of the steam- ship .you were wrecked obV” she asked. “The one you were Just telling ubout.” “She- was the Dunraven^-the Dun- raven. of the Cross and Crescent line,” replied the mariner. “Didn’t I tell you that before, ma’atu?” )wn *«4f bare our sins In his own body I >n the tree (I Pet. 2:24); that he “put away sin by the sacrifice of himself” rii«»i» a-°«n it «■ Mo-f »k«i wc should fathom all Hint this means; It Is enough. If we know that our sins have been ntnned for by Christ’s death on the cross; that “he Is the propi tiation for otir sins;‘and not for ours only, hut also for the sins of the whole world.” (I John 2:2). Tills, then la ‘h»* great funds mental fact of the Got*, oel. without which there is no Gospel. The second and third fundamental facts, have to do with the burin! and resnrrectlon of our Lord: and again we must Interpret these by the Scrip- tures, for the qualifying phrase Ia "According to the Scriptures." Now, It takes no prolonged study of the Scriptures to flml out the facta con* cemlng the burial nod resurrection of Christ. They stand out so prominent ly that one soon discovers that the 8crlptures tench that fhe dead body of mrr fyrrtl was taken from the croaa and bnrled fb the tomb, and that our (<nrd In his body, which was dead and hurled, arose from the tomb. This may n<# he the id* a that aome have of the burial and resurrection of Christ; hat we mu*t remember that our qualifying phrase Is not, "Accord ing to our Ideas." hut "According to tbe Scriptures." They and they alone are to determine and to Interpret these facts for uy, and whether we under stand them or not. It Is nevertheless true that the Scriptures teach the bod ily burial and resurrection «#our Lord. Again, we would say that It Is not necessary to our understanding of tha Gospel that we fathom these facts: It Is enough for us to know that they are fncts. and that they are funda mental to the Gospel. Furthermore. Pnul says of this Gos pel. that 1t 1s the power Of Cod unto salvation. No wonder .he Is not ashamed of It. If It were an Impotent thing, he might well he; but. since It' Is a divine dynamic, there Is no need of being ashamed of It. We may not understand how It can be the power of\Ood unto salvation, hut that Is of little moment. If It Is his power to save men from sin and does save Uuun. It Is not necessary, however, for us to rest upon Paul’s statement that The Gospel is the power of God; we can test It ourselves. N<>w that which will 3 V . „ - r- prove whether or not the Gospel Is powerful unto'salvation Is to do that which will enable it to do Its work. Paul plainly states what this is when he says: “The Gospel'of Christ Is the .power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” That which en abler the Gospel to do Its work In our lives Is our belief In It, for just as It is necessary to make a connection with the dynamo, if we are to have its pow er, so It is necessary for 11s to make a connection with the Gospel if we areyto experience Its power? In our lives. The connection Is faith in the Gospel, and it 14 therefore important that we understand just what Paul -means when he says “to everyone that believeth.” -There is no mystery In this, for belief hpre means Ju?t what It does qnywhere else, that Is. the ac ceptance of a fact as true. The Scrip tures, however, make it very clear that In the acceptance of the facts of the Gospel ns true one Is to accept them as more. .then.’than III IliMUt you cun get an excellent tenant for five or six cents a day— •h- •*u*'*44e«4- servant nnil-an~nrmr*lng wtdcwT tnlmtitfawr can iimiiiII) he attributed to the fart that lie was born too many year* ago. urf"* x Mi i«v*i ummm. rtitMur iwUum m >ult The years of ■ dwarf may lie many, yet lie never lives long.
