Headache
kills, nut necessarily suddenly,
but SURELY. It preys upon the
intellectual powers more than
we realize. It consumes the
vitality faster than nature can
replenish it, and we cannot tell
just what moment a temporary
or complete aberration of the
ir ind wall result. Headache and
pain should be promptly re
moved— but properly. Many
pain cures are more harmful
than the pain. Beware. If
you would be safe, take
Miles' Pain Pills.
“As a result of neuralgia I lost the
j/ght of my right eye, and the pain I
have suffered is incomprehensible, be
ing obliged to take opiates almost con-
timfally. A friend gave me one of Dr.
Miles’ Pain Pills and it promptly re
lieved me. I then purchased a box and
now my trouble is gone. They have
also cured my daughter of nervous
headache, and I heartily recommend
them to others.”—W. J. Corley, iire-
mond, Texas.

Power of Interroftatlon.
The probability is that .lob had been
tempted to arrogance by his vast at
tainments. Fie was a metallurgist, a
zoologist, a poet, and shows by bis writ
lugs he had knowledge of hunting, of
music, of husbandry, of medicine, of
mining, of astronomy and perhaps was
so far ahead of the scholars and sci
ontists of bis time that he may have
been somewhat puffed up; hence this
Interrogation of my text. And there
is nothing that so soon takes down hu
man pride as an interrogation point
rigidly thrust. Christ used it mightily
Paul mounted the parapet of his great
arguments with sin h a battery: Men
of the world understand it. Demos
thenes began his speech to the crown
and Cicero his oration against Catiline
and Lord Chatham ids most famous
orations with a question. The empire
of ignorance is so much vaster than
the empire of knowledge that after the
most learned and elaborate disquisition
upon any subject of sociology or theol
ogy the plainest man may ask a ques
lion that will make the wisest speech
less. After the profoundest assaul:
upon Christianity tin* humblest disci
pld may make an inquiry that would
silence a Voltaire.
Called upon, as we all are at times,
to defend our holy religion, instead of
trgunn r.t that can always be answered
by argument let us try the power of
interrogation. We ought to be loaded
with at least half a dozen questions
and always ready, and when Christian
ity Is ass:ii!cd. and we are told there is
nothing In it and there is no (led and
there never was a miracle and that the
$
Scriptures are unreasonable and cruel
and that there never will 1m* a Judg
ment day take out of your poitahb
armory of interrogation something like
this; “What makes the condition of
woman in Christian lands better than
in heathen lands? Do you think it
would be kind in (itnl t< turn the liu
man race into a world without any

a revelation was made, which do you
prefer—the Zcnda-Vestn of the Persian

Why was It that William Shake

1. William Shakespeare, of StraHord-
ou-Avon, in the county of Warwick, in
perfect health and memory (God be
praised!) do make and ordain this my
last will and testament through the

speare lost bis reason when he wrote
his faith 111 < hrist and the great atone-'

questions like that, and you will find
him excusing himself for an engage
ment he must meet immediately.
These words also recognize farreaeh-
Ing influences. Job probably had no
adequate idea of tin* distance of the
worlds mentioned from our world, but
be knew them to be far off, and we.
who have had the advantage of mod
ern sidereal investigation, ought to be
still more impressed than was Job with
the question of the text, as it puts be
fore us the fact that worlds hundreds of
thousands of milts distant have a grip
on our world. There art* sweet iuliu-
enccs which hold us from afar. There
may have been in our ancestral line
perhaps 200 years ago some conse
crated man or woman who has held
over all the generations since an Influ
ence for good which we have no power
to realize, and we in turn by our virtue
or vice may Influence those who shall
live 200 years from now. Moral grav
itation is as powerful as material grav
itation. and If, as my text teaches and
science confirms, the Pleiades, which
are millions of miles from our earth, in
fluence the earth we ought to be im
pressed with how we may be influ
enced by others far away back and
how we may influence others far down
the future. That rill away up among
the Allegbanies. so thin you think it
will hardly find its way down the
rocks, becomes the mighty Ohio, roll
ing into the Mississippi and rolling
into the sea. That word you utter,
that deed you do. may augment itself
as the years go by until rivers cease
to roll and tlie ocean itself shall be
dried up in the burning of the world.
Paul, who was all the time saying im
portant tilings, said nothing more star
tlingly suggestive than when he de
clared. “None of us liveth or dieth to
himself.’’ Words, thoughts, actions,
have an eternity of (light. As Job
could not bind the sweet influences of
the Seven Stars, as they were called,
so we cannot arrest or turn aside the
good projected long ago. Those influ
ences were started centuries before
cur cradle was rocked and will reign
centuries after our graves are dug.
Oh, it is a tremendous thius to live!
God help us to live aright.
Itnpartanre of Good Actions.
Astronomers can easily locate the
Pleiades. They will take you into their
observatories on a clear night and aim
their revealing instrument toward the
part in tlie heavens where those seven
stars have their habitude, and they
will point to the constellation Taurus,
and you can see for yourself. But it is
Impossible to point to influences far
hack that have affected our character
and will affect our destiny. We know
the influences near hy—paternal, ma
ternal. conjugal—hut hy the time we
have gone back two generations, or. at
most, three, our investigations falter
and fail. Through the modern inter
esting habit of searching hack to And
the ancestral tree we may And a long
list of names, but they arc* only names.
The consecration or abandonment of
some one 200 years ago was not record
ed. It would not he so Important if
you and 1. hy our good or bud behavior,
blessed or blasted only those immedi
ately around us, but our goodness or
our badness will reach as far as the
strongest ray of Alcyone—yea. across
the eternities. Under this considera
tion, what do you think of those who
give themselves up to frivolity or Idle
ness and throw away fifty years of
their existence as though they wore
shells or pebbles or pods instead of em
bryo eternities?
I suppose one of the greatest sur
prises of the next world will he to see
what wide, farrcaching influence for
good or evil we have all exerted. I am
speaking of ourselves, who are only
ordinary people. But who can fully
appreciate the farrenchlng good done
hy men of wealth in Great Britain for
the working classes — Mr. Lister of
Bradford, Edward Akroyd of Halifax,
Thomas Siki*s of Huddersfield, Joseph
Wentworth and Joslah Mason and Sir
Titus Salt? Tills last great soul, with
his vast wealth, provided 75H houses
at cheap rent for 3.000 working people
and chapel and cricket ground and cro
quet lawn and concert hall and sav
ings bank, where they might deposit
some of tiielr earnings, and life insur
ance for those who looked further
ahead and bathhouses and parks and
museums and lecture halls with philo
sophical apparatus, the generous ex
ample of those men of a previous gen
eration being copied in many places in
Canada and tlie United States, making
life, which would otherwise be a pro
longed drudgery, an inspiration and a
Joy.

sepulchers full of dead men’s bones
and all uneleanncss. 1 am watching
(lie daybreak. I am studying tlie light
that streams into tlie darkness. I am
considering tlie sweet influences of the
Pleiades.
Notice also in my text the influence
of other worlds upon this world. \Ve
all regard the effect which our conti
nent has upon other contineuts or one
hemisptiere upon the other hemisphere.
Great harvest or drought on one side
of our world affects the other side of
our world. A panic in Wall street. New
York, lias its echo in Lombard street
and ilie bourse. Tlie nations of the earth
eablegramined together all feel the
same thrill of delight or shock of woe.
But we do not appreciate the influence
of other worlds upon our worid. The
author of my text rouses us to tlie con
sideration. It takes all the worlds of
known and unknown astronomy to
keep our world in its orbit. Every
world dependent on other worlds. The
stellar existence is felt all through the
heavens. Every constellation is a sis
terhood. Our planet feels the benedic
tion of Alcyone and nil the other stars
of the Pleiades. Yea, there are two
other worlds that decide the fait; of our
world—its . redemption or its demoli
tion. Those two worlds are the head
quarters of angelology and demonolo
gy. From the one world came Christ,
come ministering spirits, come all gra
cious influences. From the other world
rise all satanie and diabolic influences.
From that world of moral night rose
the power that wrecked our poor world
six thousand years ago, and all the
good work done since then lias not been
able to get our world out of the break
ers. But the signals of distress have
been hoisted and the life lines are out,
and our world’s release is certain. The
good influences of the consecrated peo
ple in our world will be centupled hy
tlie help from the heavenly world, and
the divine power will overcome the de
moniac. O man, O woman, expand
your idea and know the magnitude
of a contest in which three worlds
are specially interested! From all the
seven worlds which my text calls the
Pleiades there come no sucli powerful
influences as from the two worlds that
I am now mentioning. My only hope
for this world is In the re-enforcement
that is to come from another world.
But that is promised, and so I feel as
sure of the rectification of all evil as
thotigh looking out of 1113-. window to
day I saw the parks and the gardens
flowering into another paradise and
the apocalyptic angel flying through
the midst of heaven with the news
that the kingdoms of this world have
become the kingdoms of our Lord.
Home'* Sweet Inflnenceii.
My text called Job and calls us to
consider “the sweet influences.” We
put too much emphasis upon the acidi
ties of life, upon tlie irritations of life,
upon the disappointments of life. Am-
minnus MareelHuus said that Chaldea
was in ole n times overrun with lions,
but many of them lost their power be
cause the great swamps produced many
gnats that would get into the eyes of
the lions, and the lions, to free them
selves of tlie gnats, would claw their
own eyes out and then starve. And in
our time many a lion lias been over
come hy a gnat. The little, stinging
annoyances of life keep us from appre
ciating tlie sweet influences. And how
many of these last there are! Sweet
influences of home, however plain It
may he! That Is the harbor into which
we sail; that is the goal for which we
run; that is the place where we rest;
there abide all confidence and affec
tions; there we lay out our plans; there
we extend our sympathies; there we
talk over our successes; there we un
load our griefs. Its four walls shut
out a prying and inquisitive world.
Thank God for the home in which we
were horn, the home In which we now
live, the home In which we expect to
die!
Not sufficiently do we recognize the
sweet influences of the wife. We men
are of a rougher mold, and our voice is
loud, and our manners need to he tam
ed. and gentleness is not as much of a
characteristic as It ought to he, and
we often say things we ought to take
back. It Is to change this that the
good wife comes In. The Interests' of
the twain are Identical. That which
from outsiders would be considered
criticism and to be resented becomes
kindly suggestion. Sweet Influences
that make us better men than we oth
erwise would have been or could have
been!
The last chapter of Proverbs recog
nizes the good wife’s influence when
It says, “Her husband is known in the
gates when he sltteth among tlie elders
of the land”—that Is. his apparel Indi
cates that he has some one to look aft
er his wardrobe, and ills manners show
that lie Is under refining Influences at
home. But no one fully appreciates the
sweet influences of the wife until the
dark day comes and the slight symp
toms become serious and the serious
piiases of tlie disorder pass Into the
fatal and the temperature Is 1<)<i and
medical Ingenuity is exhausted and you
are told for your consolation that
“while there Is life there Is ho[N*,”
which means that there Is no hope at
all, and tin* precious life flutters and Is
gone, and you must put out of sight
the one who from the day she took tlie
vow amid the orange blossoms under
the mun liige hell hud been to you more
than nil the world besides. Then you
realize as ne\. '• b< fore what had been
tlie sweet influences.

Sweet influences of our holy religion,
surrounded as we are by all the ameni
ties of Christian society—men and wo
men who have felt the refining and ele
vating power of the gospel! Sweet in
fluences of tlie Sabbath, fifty-two of
them chiming their joy into every year!
Sweet influences of the Scriptures,
with their balm for all wounds and
their light for every darkness! When
the heirs of a vast estate in England
wished to establish their claim to prop
erty worth $100,000,000, they offered a
reward of $.')00 for the recovery of an
old Bible, the family record of which
contained the evidence requisite. But
any Bible, now or old. can help us to a
vaster inheritance than tin* one spoken
of, one that never fades away.
The sweet influences of the heavenly
world, which many wise men thought
for a loug while was Alcyone, the ceu
ter of the constellation of the Pleiades
—world of our future residence, as we
hope; world of chorus and illumination;
world of reunion; world where we shall
be everlastingly complete; world where
our old faculties will be intensified and
quickened and new faculties implant
ed, world of high association with
Christ, through whose grace we got
there at all, and apostles and poets,
Habakkuk, and St. John of Patinos, and
Edward Young, his “Night Thoughts”
turned into eternal day; and llomtius
Bonar of modern hymnology, and Han
nah More, and Mrs. Ilemans, and Mrs.
Sigourney, who struck their harps till
nations listened; and David, the victor
over Goliath with what seemed insuffi
cient weapons; and Joshua of tlie pro
longed day in Glbeoti, and Havelock,
the evangelist hero, and those thou
sands of men of tlie sword who fought
on the right side. What company to
move in! What guests to entertain!
What personages to visit! What choirs
to chant! What banquets with lifted
chalices tilled with "the new wine of
the kingdom!” What victories to cele
brate!
The Star of Hope.
The stories of that world and Its
holy hilarities come in upon our souls
sometimes in song, sometimes in ser
mon, sometimes in hours of solitary
reflection, aud they are, to use the
words of my text, sweet Influences.
But there Is one star that affects us
more with its sweet influences than
tlie center star, the Alcyone of the
Pleiades, and that is what one Bible
author calls the Star of Jacob and an
other Bible author calls the Morning
Star. Of all tin* sweet influences that
have ever touched our earth those that
radiate from Christ are the sweetest.

his manner, more gentleness in his
footstep, more music* In his voice, more
dignity In his brow, more gracefulness
In the locks that rolled upon his shoul
ders, more compassion in his soul.
Sweet Influences of the Holy Ghost,
with all his transforming and comfort
ing aud emancipating power. When
that power is fully felt, there will he
no more sins to pardon, aud no more
wrongs to correct, and no more sor
rows to comfort, and no mere bondage
to break. But as the old time shiv cap
tains watched the rising of the Plei
ades for safe navigation and set sail
in Mediterranean waters, but were sure
to get hack into port before tlie con
btellntion Orion came into sight—the
season of cyclone and hurricane—so
there is a time to sail for heaven, and
that is while the sweet Influences are
upon us and before the storms over
take the delay. Open all your soul to
the light and warmth and comfort and
Inspiration of that gospel which has
already peopled heaven with millions
of tlie ransomed ind Is helping other
millions to that glorious destination.
Do not postpone the things of Gtxl
ami eternity till the storms of life
swoop and tin* agitations of a great fu
ture are upon us. Do not dare wait
until Orion takes the place of the Plei
ades. Weigh anchor now and with
chart unrolled and pilot on hoard head
for the reunions and raptures that
await ail the souls forgiven. “Aud
they need no candle, neither light of
the sun. for the Lord God givcrli them
light, and they shall reign forever and
ever.”
