All except
bad ones!
There are hun
dreds of cough medi
cines which relieve
coughs, all coughs,
except bad ones!
The medicine which
has been curing the
worst of bad coughs
for 60 years is Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral.
Here is cviclrncc:
“ My wife was troubled with a
deep-seated cot h on her lungs for
three years. One day I thought
of how Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
saved the life of my sister after
the doctors had all given her up to
die. So I purchased two bottles,
and it cured my wife completely.
It took only one bottle to cure my
sister. So you see that three bot
tles (one dollar each) saved two
lives. We all send you cur heart
felt thanks for what you have done
for us.”—J. H. Burge, Macon,Col,

the Shadows of Uveulng.
Washington, Oct. 7.—In this sermon
or. Talmage discourse's upon the invi
tation given to Christ to stay overnight
In the oriental village and makes some
consolatory suggestions. The text ia
Luke xxiv, 2G, ’'Abide with us, for it is
toward evening.”
Two vill gers, having concluded their
errand in Jerusalem, have started out
at the city gate and are on their way
to Emmaus, the place of their resi
dence. They go with a sad heart. Je
sus, who had been their admiration
and their joy, had been basely massa
cred and entombed. As, with sad face
and broken heart, they pass on their
way a stranger accosts them. They
toll him their anxieties and bitterness
of soul. He in turn talks to them,
mightily expounding the Syiptures.
He throws over them the fascination
of intelligent conversation. They for
get the time and notice not the objects
they pass and before they are aware
have come up in front of their house.
They pause before the entrance and at
tempt to persuade the stranger to tar
ry with them. They press upon him
their hospitalities. Night is coming on.
and lie may meet a prowling wild
beast or be obliged to be unsheltered
from the dew. He cannot go much far
ther now. Why not stop there ai d
continue their pleasant conversation?
They take him by the arm, and they
insist upon his coming in, addressing
him in the words, “Abide with us. for
it is toward evening.” The lamps are
lighted, the table is spread, pleasant
socialities are enkindled. They re
joice in the presence of the stranger
guest. He asks a blessing upon the
bread they eat. and he hands a piece
of it to each. Suddenly and with over
whelming power the thought Hashes
upon the astounded people—it is the
Lord! And as they sit in breathless
wonder, looking upon the resurrected
body of Jesus, he vanished. The in
terview ended. He was gone.
On flit* Down ftrsule of Lifr.
With many of us it is a bright sun
shiny day of prosperity. There is not
a cloud in the sky. not a leaf rustling
in the forest, no chill in the air. But
we cannot expect ail this to last, fie
is not an intelligent man who expects
perpetual daylight of joy. The sun
will after awhile near the horizon; the
shadows will lengthen. While 1 speak
many of us stand in the very hour de
scribed in the text, “For it is toward
evening.” The request of the text is
appropriate for some in every commu
nity. for with them it is toward the
evening of old age. They have passed
the meridian of life. They are some
times startled to think how old they
are. They do not, however, like others
to remark upon it. If others suggest
their approximation toward venerable
appearance, they say, “Why, I am not
so old after all.” They do, indeed, no
tice that they cannot lift quite as much
as once; they cannot walk quite so
fast; they cannot read quite so well
without spectacles; they cannot so eas
ily recover from a cough or any occa
sional ailment; they have lost their
taste for merriment; they are surprised
at thi? quick passage of the year; they
say that it only seems hut a little while
ago that they were boys; they are go
ing a little down hill; there is some
thing in their health, something in
their vision, something in their walk,
something in their changing associa
tions, something above, something be
neath, something within to remind
them that it is toward evening.
The great want of all such is to have
Jesus abide with them. It is a dismal
thing to be getting old without the re
juvenating intluence of religion. When
we stop on the down grade of life and
see that it dips to the verge of the cold
river, we want to behold some one
near who will help us across it. When
the sight loses Its power to glance and
gather up, we need the faith that can
illumine. When we feel the failure of
the < nr, we need the clear tones of that
voh which in olden times broke up
the silence of the deaf with cadences
of mercy. When the uxmen of death
hew down whole forests of strength
and beauty around us and we are left i
in solitude, we need the dove of divine |
mercy to sing In our branches. When j
the "hadows begin to full and we feel 1
that the day is far spent, we need !
most of all to supplicate the beneficent |
Jems in the prayer of the villagers, |
“Abide with us, for it is toward even- 1
lug.”
I iidlcnf ionu of Mictit.
The request of the text is an appro
priate exclamation for all those who |
are approaching the gloomy hour of |
temptation. There Is nothing easier
than to be good nutured when every
thing pleases, or to be humble when
there is nothing to puff us up, or for
giving when we have not been assail
ed. or honest when we have no Induce
ment to fraud. But you have felt the
grapple of some temptation. Vour na
ture at some time quaked and groaned
under the Infernal power. Von felt
that the devil was after you; you saw
your Christian graces retreating; you
feared that you would fall in the awful
wrestle with sin and be thrown Into
the dust The gloom thickened. The
first Indications of the night were seen.
In all the trembling of your soul, in all
the infernal suggestions of sutau. in
all the surging up of tumultuous pas
sions and excitements, you felt with
awful emphasis that It was toward
evening. In the tempted hour you
need to ask Jesus to abide with you.
You can beat back the monster that
would devour; you can unhorse the
sin that would ride you down; you can
sliarjs-ii the battleax with which you
split the head of belmcted abomina
tion. Who helped I‘mil shake the bra
zen gated heart of Felix? Who acted
like a good sailor when ail the crew
howled in the Mediterranean ship
wreck? Who helped the martyrs to he
Hr in when one word of recantation
would have unfastened the withes of
the stake and put out the kindling lire?
When the night of the soul caine on
and all the denizemi of darkness cam*
riding upon the winds of penliliou,
who gave strength to the :>oul? Who
gave <alniniss t< the heart? Who
broke the spell of Infernal enchant-
mefit? He who heard the request of
the villagers, “Abide with us, for It 1c
toward evening.” One of the forts of
France was attacked, and the out
works were taken before night. The
besieging army lay down, thinking
that there was but little to do In the
morning and that the soldiery In the
fort could be easily made to surrender.
But during the night, through a back
stairs, they escaped into the country.
In the morning the besieging army
sprang upon the battlements, but fouud
that their prey was gone. So when
we are assaulted by temptation there
Is always some secret stair by which
we might get off. God will not allow
us to he tempted above what we are
able, but with every temptation will
bring a way of escape that we may be
able to bear it
Don't Borrow Trouble.
The prayer of the text Is appropriate
for all who are anticipating sorrow.
The greatest folly that ever grew on
this planet is the tendency to borrow
trouble, but there are times when ap
proaching sorrow is so evident that we
need to be making especial prepara
tions for its coming. One of your chil
dren has lately become a favorite. The
cry of that child strikes deeper Into the
heart than the cry of all the others.
You think more about it; you give It
more attention not because it Is any
more of a treasure than the others, but
because it is becoming frail. There Is
something in the cheek, in the eye and
In the walk that makes you quite sure
that the leaves of the flower are going
to he scattered. The utmost nursing
and medical attendance are Ineffectual.
The pulse becomes feeble, the complex
ion lighter, the step weaker, the laugh
fainter. No more romping for that one
through hall and parlor. The nursery
Is darkened b; an approaching calam
ity. The bean feels with mournful an
ticipation that the sun is going down.
Night spe eds on. It is toward evening.
You have long rejoiced in the care of
a mother; you have done everything to
make her last days happy; you have
run with quick feet to wait upon her
every want. Her presence has been a
perpetual blessing In the household.
But the fruit gatherers are looking
wistfully at that tree. Her soul is ripe
for heaven. The gates are ready to
flash open for her entrance. But your
soul sinks at the thought of separation.
You cannot hear to think that soon you
will be called to take the last look at
that face, which from the first hour
has looked upon you with affection un
changeable. But you see that life is
ebbing, and the grave will soon hide
her from your sight. You sit quiet;
you feel heavy hearted. The light Is
fading from the sky; the air Is chill.
It is toward evening.
You had a considerable estate and
felt independent In five minutes on
one fair balance sheet you could see
just how you stood with the world.
But there came complications. Some
thing that you imagined Impossible
happened. The best friend you had
proved traitor to your Interests. A
sudden crash of national misfortune
prostrated your credit. You may to
day lie going on in business, but you
feel anxious about where you are
standing and fear that the? next turn of
the commercial wheel will bring you
prostrate. You foresee what you con
sider certain defalcation; you think of
the anguish of telling your friends that
you are not worth a dollar; you know
not how you will ever bring your chil
dren home from school; you wonder
how you will stand the selling of your
library or the moving Into a plainer
house. The mlsfortiiues of life have
accumulated. You wonder what makes
the sky so dark. It is toward evening.
Jean*' Comfurtlnic Grace.
Trouble is an apothecary that mixes
a great many drafts, hitter and sour
and nauseous, and you must drink
some one of them. Trouble puts up a
great many packs, and you must carry
some otic of them. There Is no sandal
so thick and well adjusted hut some
thorn will strike through It; there Is
no sound so sweet hut the undertaker's
serewdrivT grates through It. In this
swift shuttle of the heart some of the
threads must break. The Journey from
Jerusalem to Emmaus will soon be
ended. Onr Bible, our common sense,
our observation, reiterate In tones that
we cannot mistake and ought not to
disregard—It Is toward evening.
GL then, for Jesus to abide with us!
He sweetens the cup; he extracts the
thorn; he wipes the tear; he hushes the
tempest; he soothes the soul that flies
to him for shelter. Let the night swoop
and the Euroclydon toss the sen; let
the thunders roll—soon all will be well.
Christ In the ship to soothe his friends;
Christ on the sea to stop its tumult;
Christ in the grave to scatter the dark
ness; Christ in the heavens to lead the
way. Blessed all such. His arms will
Inclose them, his sacrifice free them,
his glory enchant them. If earthly es
tate take wings, he will be an incorrupt
ible treasure; If friends die, he will he
their resurrection. Standing with u»
in the morning of our Joy and in the
noonday of our prosperity, he will not
forsake us when the luster has faded
and it is toward evening.
Listen to Paul’s battle shout with
misfortune, hark to mounting Latl-
mei’s lire song; look at the glory that
hath reft the dungeon and (Hied the
earth and heavens wit^ the crash of
(he falling manacles of despotism and
then look at those who have tried to
cure themselves by human prescrip
tions, attempting to heal gangrene with
patch of court plaster and to stop the
plague of dying empires with the
quackery of enthly wisdom. Nothing
can speak pence to the soul, nothing
can unstrap our crushing burdens,
nothing can overcome our spiritual
foes, nothing can open our eyes to see
the surrounding horses and chariots of
salvation that till all the mountains
but the voice and command of him
who stopped one night at Emmaus.
KearlnK the KvenlnB.
The words, of the text are pertinent
to us all from the fact that we are
nearing the evening of death. I have
heard it said that we ought to live as
though each moment were to be our
last. I do not believe that theory. As
far as preparation Is concerned, wo
ought always to be ready, but we can
not always lie thinking of death, for
we have duties in life that demand our
attention. When u man is selling
goods, it Is his business to think of the
bargain lie Is making; when a man Is
pleading in the courts, it is his duty to
think of the interests of tils clients;
when a clerk is adding up accounts, It
is his duty to keep his mind upon the
column of figures. He who tills up his
life with thoughts of death Is far from
being the liiglicst style of Christian. I
ijievv a man who used often to suy at
m
a
•4*
aignt, *T Wism might die befors pKfrn-
lug!” He Is now an infidel. But there
are times when we can and ought to
give ourselves to the contemplation of
that solemn moment when to the soul
time ends and eternity begins. We
must go through that one pass. There
Is no roundabout way, no bypath, no
circuitous route. Die we must, and It
will be to us a shameful occurrence or
a time of admirable behavior.' Our
friends may stretch out their hands to
keep us buck, but no imploratiou on
thetr part can hinder us. They might
offer large retainers, hut death would
not take the fee. The breath will fail,
and the eyes will close, and the heart
will stop. You may hang the couch
with gorgeous tapestry, hut what does
death care for bed curtains? You may
hang the room with the finest works of
art, but what does death care for pic
tures? Y'ou may fill the house with the
wailings of widowhood and orphanage.
Does death mind weeping?
This ought not to be a depressing
theme. Who wants to live here forev
er? The world has always treated me
well, and every day 1 feel less and less
like scolding and complaining. But yet
I would not want to make this my
eternal residence. 1 love to watch the
clouds and to bathe my soul in the blue
sea of heaven, but I expect when the
firmament Is rolled nwuy as a scroll to
see a new heaven, grander, higher and
more glorious. You ought to be willing
to exchange your body that has head
aches and sideaches and weaknesses
Innumerable, that limps with the stone
bruise or festers with the thorn or
(lames on the funeral pyre of fevers,
for an incorruptible body and an eye
that blinks not before the jasper gates
and the great white throne. But be
tween that and this there is an hour
about which no man should be reckless
or foolhardy. 1 doubt uot your courage,
but I tell you that you will want some
thing better than a strong arm, a good
aim and a trusty sword when you
come to your last battle. You will
need a better robe than any you have
In your wardrobe to keep you warm In
that place.
Shorteninir Dn>«.
Circumstances do uot make so much
difference. It may be bright day when
you push off from the planet, or it may
be dark night and while the owl is
hooting from the forest. It may be
spring, and your soul may go out
among the blossoms, apple orchards
swinging their censers in the way. It
may be winter and the earth In a snow
shroud. It may be autumn and the
forests set on fire by the retreating
year—dead nature laid out In state. It
may he with your wife’s hand in your
hand, or you may be in a strange hotel,
with a servant faithful to the last. It
may be In the rail train, shot off the
switch and tumbling In long reverbera
tion down the embankment—crash,
crash! I know not the time, 1 know
not the mode, hut the days of our life
are being subtracted away, and we
shall come down to the time when we
have but ten days left, then nine days,
then eight days, then seven days, six
days, five days, four days, three days,
two days, one day. Then hours—three
hours, two hours, oue hour. Then only
minutes left—five minutes, four min
utes. three mluutes, two miuutes, oue
minute. Then only seconds left—four
seconds, three seconds, two seconds,
one second. Gone! The chapter uf>
life ended! The hook closed! The
pulses at rest! The feet through with
the Journey! The hands closed from
all work! No word on the lips! No
breath In the nostrils! Hair combed
buck to He uudisheveled by any human
bauds. The muscles still. The nerves
still. The lungs still. The tongue still.
All still. You might put the stethoscope
to breast aud hear no sound. You might
put a speaking trumpet to the ear, but
you could uot wake the deafness. No
motion. No throb. No life. Still! Still!
Tbe Happiest Hour.
On earth with many of you the even
ing Is the happiest part of the 24 hours.
You gather about the stand. You talk
and laugh and sing. You recount the
day. You plan for the morrow. You
have games and repartees. Amid all
the toll of the day that Is the goal for
which you run, and as you take out
your watch or look at tbe descending
sun you thrill with the thought that it
Is toward evening. So death comes to
the disciple. What if tbe sun of life Is
about to set? Jesus Is the daysprlng
from on high, the perpetual morning of
every ransomed spirit. What if tbe
darkness comes? Jesus Is the light of
the world and of heaven. What though
this earthly bouse does crumble? Je
sus has prepared a house of many
mansions. Jesus Is the anchor that al
ways holds. Jesus is the fountain that
Is never exhausted. Jesus is tbe even
ing star hung up amid the gloom of tbe
gathering night.
Y'ou are almost through with the
abuse and backbiting of enemies. They
will call you no more by evil names.
Your good deeds will not longer be nils-
Interpretod or your honor filched. The
troubles of earth will end in the felici
ties of heaven. Toward evening! The
bereavements of earth will soon lie
lifted. You will not much longer stand
pouring your grief In the tomb like Ra
chel weeping for her children or David
mourning for Absalom. Broken hearts
bound up. Wounds healed. Tears
wiped away. Morrows terminated. No
more sounding of the dead march. To
ward evening. Death will come, sweet
as slumber to the eyelids of the babe,
as full rations to a starving soldier, as
evening hour to the exhausted work
man. The sky will take on its sunset
glow, every cloud a fire psalm, every
lake a glassy mirror, the forests trans
figured, delicate mists climbing the air.
Your friends will announce it, your
pulses will heat It, your Joys will ring
It, your lips will whisper It, “Toward
evening.”

From the hour when he was obliged
to leave Hobart college, stricken with
a hemorrhage of tbe lungs, through all
the years until hut a short time since
he yielded to a third attack of pneu
monia, Bishop Mahlon N. Gilbert, co
adjutor with Bishop Whipple of the
diocese of Minnesota, had fought out
many a band to hand battle with
death.
Years ago, when but Just out of di
vinity halls, he was given a charge by
Bishop Tuttle, his lifelong friend. It
was the most difficult field in the west
Young Gilbert was tbe only minister
of his faith in all the western half of
a great territory. In the town of Deer
Lodge, Mon., his headquarters, com
prising some 000 souls, he had at the
beginning of his work but two commu
nicants. It was from this town that he
went upon mission tours throughout
the region. Walking Into the local
bank one day ho said to one of the offi
cials:
“I want $2,000, without any indorse
ment, L, be paid back some time in
the future.”
Tbe banker looked at the young rec
tor a moment, and then without a sign
of further hesitation he said:
“You can have It Any man that’s
got nerve enough to ask such a thing
deserves to have it without interest.”
A very profitable church fair, held
later, was liberally patronized, and
soon after the proudest man In Monta
na, as he afterward said, marched into
the bo and laid down the $2,000
lu coin and currency.—Saturday Even

One of the l jst marvelous achieve

readiness with which all the religious
of the world united in the devout re

designated by President Bonney as
“the universal priyer.” When at the
opening of the arllameut Cardinal
Gibbons used It, the vast audience of
about 4,000 lK*oph Joined In It, and,
having been repealed on each of the
