HOW MRS.

" My mother, who | had been helped by ; LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Com: pound, advised me I to try it before submitting to an operaj tion. It relieved me """' from my troubles ?o I can do my house work without any difficulty. I advise any woman who is B afflicted with female troubles to give Lydia E. Fink ham's Vegetable ComW pound a trial and it will do as much for \ them."?Mrs. Marie Boyd, 1421 5th St., N. EL, Canton, Ohio. NO, Sometimes there are serious conditions where a hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand 30 many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was necessary?every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it a fair trial before submitting to such a ? j-i trying oraeai. If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., ior advice. The result of many years 'Experience is at your scrvice. OWeall Street. Southern Christian Advocate. . Dear Advocate:?It has been almost F two years since Bishop Candler appointed me to this church. These two years have been full of vast changes, not only throughout the world, but in, Har charge. While we are not ab>v. to say whether or not tne cnanges in tne world have been for the good of all r mankind, we (believe the changes in v ,-%v . ffiis church have been mile stones on tie- way of progress. There has been a gain in member. ship of seventy-two. Forty-five of these being on profession of faith. The ML debt has been paid. Paint and money have been secured to apply two coats of paint to the church buildluff.

These visions have been transj forming their lives. We believe there j is more progress for the church in the j future. There is work to be done, a will to do it: so after the will has been applied the result will be progress. There is a bright future for this church. The possibilities are so many and so great that they almost confound us. but the help which comes I from the neop^e and from God. ursre us forward. God has been with us. Where -He ?oes thingrs happen and lives change. j Twenty-one of our boys have answered their country's call. They are j heroes. God bless them f This war ! will draw their latent manhood to the I surface and develop it. A widowed mother wrote me some days ago that another of her boys had been called I into service. Sb lid that when he } received the caL tit went to the bank , and drew' his deposits, boarded the first train for home to spend a day ! and night before going to the camp.

Livingston writes a l. 1 ~ _ J iricnd saying ne is in good ? ea.ii.ii aim : <js been since Ms arrival overseas. Tlf- spen' eight days in the front lirrrs uud caine out all O. K. Also made a 1 f- \v trip:.. in No Man's Land. He says i tl"? v.-orlf is real interesting, but of corrs* there are no safe jobs there. ! ."I vrould rot take anything for what I've seen," he writes. "You know vc-jr.^elf t>at I don't let danger inter :ere with fluty, for the manhood about ine is :.o dj ray duty even at the risk of my life. There is not a drop of cownri blond in me. There is much to with here, but I am man cno- g!: to stand it all and I believe [ will be back with my friends some lay. So far as physical work we do very little of that now; it requires much more headwork." He says they hnve had some very nice times since their arrival?"not with girls, but among ourselves; the girls over heros! don't interest me in the least?that is not my mission over here anyway." j He adds: "Don't think I am homesick. for I am not; still all would be glad if this great war was over, so we could choose our own professions. ' Dnt (still tViic ia n p-rpat lPSSOn to UT ! ILI li-|? JtUl bltAM V? v ?V .? ? M , all." .He concludes: "This is a beau- ! tiful country, with plenty wine and beer to drink. When I set back I can tell some interesting stories that I feel sure you would be surprised to know." Another Letter From Corp. Livingston Corporal Livingston under date of July 6, wrote his parents, iMr. and .Mrs. T. X). Livingston that he was in the best of health; that he basn't "been ; sick in the least since arriving in j France. Is constantly seeing new j t.hines and experiencing new work. 1 He "spent eight days in the front lines already and came out lucky. Of course I was there to do my duty, as the other boys. Things are quiec enough in the lines at times, and other times they are enough that one ' would not care how soon it would 'op. Must say that I held a quiet nerve and a level head all the time. The only thine: a man can do is onlv i I protect himself in every way possible and take chances at. the rest. Am of opinion that this war will not last much lonsrer. Don't think I am home- j sick, f^r I am not. The boys in gen- j .eral are passing it off with much less ' crumbling than when in the 'States.'*. After writing of private matters he , goss on to say: "Don't think I am suffering for anything, for I am not. j We have plenty to eat and get plenty money to buy our little extra needs.' Well. I will know a few things to tell vo" when I arrive again which I fee! sure you will fte inerested in. Don't worry, for I feel that all will be to our advantage. 'Don't think I will ibe tak. en off by some of the temptations, as vou have heard of others. Unle?s T am effected by the Germans I will come back like I left." Third From Corp. Livingston. ' Under date of July 12 Corporal J R. Livingston writes his mother from Belgium that he is still in excellent health, which he says "is a great blessing from above," and he acknowledges that the upraise for good health is due to the source above whence it. comes, "so don't worry about me; with the help of God I j will be back to my dear old parents j " _ I some day." .He believes "this is a' good cause that causes this separation ; ard we will be blessed for it in some way. though it may not be as we ask it?but we sometimes know not. what \ I we are asking. My belief is that if we trust in the Lord in true faith we ! will be together asrain.

Of course we real. lze 11 is war tunes and we can't get very good food?I mean such as we girls at all. 'C?' Don't think I will say if this will pass or not, but I passed through some towns that were shelled and torn to pieces. We are working hard every day trying to birng this great struggle to an end, so we can all return to those we love.

Gee. but you people don't know what war is. It is a little bit worse than what Sherman said. Ha, ha. Yesterday, Sunday. we had church in a little hut. We have a chaplain with us and he sure is fine, and also good to the boys. I am writing this in a hut. made4 of steel.

T. 'Dickert, formerly of Newberry 'but now living in? Columbia, jn which he says he is "enjoying an almost perfect health and getting lots to eat. Sidney is now camping near me for a few days. He is getting along nicely. Was talking with him yesterday afternoon. From the way he speaks the war is not worrying him at all; in fact,, he seems to like it. You would laugh to hear him tell about getting caught in what is known as the crying gas. And lo make things worse he has a misplaced eyebrow just about as thick as the hair in the palm of your hand As to the war I don't seem uch change only that if the Germans make another drive like they did this soring the game will be up with them. Our troops arp doing some great fighting, but the , fighting must be done in such a man- j ner that it is hard to tell what they i are really doing. Yesterday evening i I was at a point where I could watch j the operation of our artillery and see j i every shell that burst. I don't see j how any living being could stay in ! and around where they were falling last night. About 12 p. m. the Americans used a very large gun from a point that must have gotten the Germans' goat for they at ones dropped * about fifty shells in the spot where j the gun was, and 'before the Boche "knew what had happened the same ^un orened fire from another point: and what made thipgrS *o bad on the square-headed Dutchman's nart wis that 'he e??n po c^o5^ ^ tfcoir lines till t.h?v crnTld hove "killed the American runners with their Opera Hons mach'ne guns. Dad, \ would like fo wri'e more but my paper is very low and it is too far to walk in plain view of the Boche to the Y. M. C. A. dugout: furthermore it is raining."
