Marvelous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared tp be frank and '
open, hundreds of them would acknowledge
that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be relied
upon to effect a cure. The following
letter proves it.
Dr. S. C. Brigham. of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes :
" It gives me great pleasure to say that I

Compound very efficacious, and often prescribe
it in my practice for female difficulties
"My oldest (laughter found it very beneficial
for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter ie now taking it for a female

" I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific
in all diseases to which women are subject.
and give it honest endorsement."
Women who are troubled with painful

7 HE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. J. D. BURRELL.
Subject: The Friend of God.
Brooklyn. X. 1*.?Sunday morning the
Ei'v. Joseph Dunn Burrell. pastor of
the Classon Avenue Presbyterian
Church, preached an interesting sermon
on the subject. "The Friend of
Cod." The text was from James ii:23:
"He was called the Friend of God."
Mr. Burrell said:
The figure of Abraham is one of the
most majestic spared to us by the past.
He stands before us in singular dignity.
serenity and power, and his supreme
quality was that he was the
friend of God.
The phrase is peculiar. It is not said
that God was his friend, but that he
was God's friend. There is a difference.
We accept the friendship of
God as a matter of course, like the air
we breathe. But the thought that man
may be a friend to God scarcely comes
to us at all.
There is something deeply touching
about that thought. For we u.-ually
look upon God as sufficient unto Himself.
Yet in this other respect we see
Him longing for friends. That desire
is common among men. for there are
many lonesome, misunderstood, hungry
for a friendly word of appreciation.
Now think of God also as misunderstood.
grieved by neglect, yearning to
be loved. Then think of Abraham as
giving God his heart. Yon see how
much it meant to God that Abraham
was his friend.
One is led to be the friend of another
by liking him. The reason why we
like him may be inexplicable to ourselves,
for there is no accounting for
tastes. All fruits are the gifts of God
to men. yet some we enjoy and others
we reject. All peoj^e are children of
God. and we can love every one of
them in a disinterested and fraternal
way. But this does not interfere with
our liking some better than others.
Even our Saviour felt this human tendenev
and was drawn by it to a spe
cia) intimacy with the apostle John.
I suppose there never was a person
about whom people differed more than
Charles Lamb. Some could not endure
his perpetual raillery, his bad puns,
his stammer. Others knew him to be
one of the rarest spirits, subtle in intellect.
exquisite in taste and grandly
unselfish.
Now that liking which makes friendship
between man and man makes it
between man and God. We can picture
Abraham at the close of the day.
when the tents had been pitched and
the evening meal eaten, going apart
from the camp for a little space that
lie might open his soul to (toil. We
can imagine David at night time while
the city slept, mounting to the roof of
the palace and beneath the canopy of
stars communing with the Most High.
We can see Christ escaping from the
crowds that thronged His steps and
eagerly hiding for a brief time in the
seclusion of some mountain top that
He might be alone with His Father.
It was because all three of these liked
Cod.
It is a question worth asking whethpr
we like God. I do not say reverence
and honor. I do not say submit to and
obey. Do we like God? It is a peculiar
question. Perhaps asking it makes
us wonder whether our appreciation of
God does not lack something of the
wnrm throb of life.
Friendship also involves similarity
of tastes. In fact, most of onr friendships
come about through our being
brought together in the pursuit of some
comoiou interest, by an ocean voyage,
a goif club, a board of directors, a
Sunday-school glass, for example. People
wliose chief Trileresls"differ are~not
[ikelj* to become friends: Emerson and
Boss Tweed, for example.
There is no better Held for studying
the laws of friendship than a college.
Young men or women who have known
each other pleasantly enter in the same
class, go together for a time, then
gradually, without au.v ill feeling whatever
draw apart in order to form other
combinations. This shifting is generally
due to the dominating power of
some common interest?French, boating.
editing a paper together, membership
in the same fraternity and the
like.
Tim snmp mincinle holds true in the
friendship between man and God. It
is brought about by similarity of tastes
niul interests. Supreme in God is the
sense of order, whose mor.il side is
righteousness. How can He have any
friendship with a man who lacks this
sense of order? Who does not mind
being a glutton or a drunkard or impure.
or telli?5a a lie or taking what is
not his? As Paul says, "what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness?"
And another characteristic
of God is His spirit of charity, ltut
suppose a man is indifferent, hard and
scilish. pron- to cherish grudges and to
do unkiudnesses. how is friendship
possible between him and God? "He
that loveth not his brother whom he
hath seen, how can he love God whom
he hath not seen?"
It is important.-then, for us to ask if
we like what God likes, if we value
highly, as He does, the soul, the spirit
i:al life, a character of purity and goodness.
These are the foundations of
friendship between heaven and earth.
Again, part of friendship is loyalty.
But loyalty how far? Through bad report
as well as through good report?
Assuredly. The friendship that will
not endure strain is of little worth.
Twenty years ago a young man was
swept away by the excitement of gamMini?
in Wall Street, and misused the
funds of the hank of which he wns
president. The detieit of millions was
made food. But. of course, the disgrace
was there. Yet to-day lie has

when the skeptic says. "If Gbd

^'hen when suspicion is raised about

His friends fall away rrom Him. The
trne friend is lie who stands by God

confidenc in the divine goodness
when others deny it. who defends

who says with .Tob. "though He slay
me. yet will I trust Him." God will
never forget stanehness like that.
Generosity is one of the lovely traits
of true friendship. It comes out in
feeling, in conduct and in speciaBtokens
in the form of gifts.
Toe ancients illustrated this in the
story of Damon and Pythias. Pythias
was condemned to death, but begged
. ... . .. i
leave to go home and arrange his affairs.
His friend Damon took liis place
in prison. In the end in the nick of
time. Pythias returned and surrendered
himself. Because of the spectacle of
such a friendship he was pardoned. I
But the interest of the story centres in
Damon lying in prison while the days
of Pythias' absence lengthen and the |
time of execution draws near. For not
only was Damon content to endure imprisonment
for his friend, but far beyond
that he was prepared to die in
his place.
The story is no doubt a fairy tale.

of friendship. And as applied to
our relationship to God it is suggestive.
If our friendship to Ilim Is genuine
it will bear the mark of generosity.
There have bpen not a few friends of
God ready to die. if need he. for Him.
And yet there are many who render
to God what they like rather than what
He likes. Sometimes presents are
given among us on the same irrational
basis. You have seen a poor young
couple receive from some rich acquaintance
an absurd wedding present
of a costly piece of bric-a-brac which
would be utterly out of place in their
modest parlor, and would divert an
amount of money which would have
been a great help in practical form.
The donor consulted his desire rather
than theirs.
So is it often with men's gifts to
God; they give Him what they like
rather than what He likes. In Jeremiah's
age they offered sacrifices of
budocks and goats. In Christ's day
they performed elaborate religious ceremonies
and wore phylacteries and
fringes. In medieval times they did
penance and paid money. To-day they
erect costly churches and endow colleges.
Hut if we would please God we
must consult His wishes in our gifts
on/1 n/it nnr ntvn And whflt does God
like best? A pure heart, a humble and
contrite spirit, days free from evil,
practical thoughts of kindness for others.
homes of real devotion, sacrifices
of money from genuine love of His
work, words of honest testimony for
Him in public and private. These are
the things Hod likes, and thou who
love Him even offer them to Him.
In the fourteenth century, when the
moral and spiritual state of Christendom
was dark, a group of noble souls
banded themselves together to strive
after holiness. Their headquarters
were at Strassburg and Cologne. Their
greatest member was John Tauler. the
celebrated preacher, whose printed sermons
made a deep impression on Luther.
The influence of those men was
performed and abides to this day. But
the tiling to notice especially about
tliem was their name: they called
themselves "The Friends of Cod."
Is there not a place for such people
in the life of to-day? Men are apt to
become so absorbed in the concerns of
this life as to neglect Cod altogether,
and when they do think of Him It is
often with the desire chiefly to get
something from Him. How sordid and
unworthy this all is. We ought to
have our relationship on a higher level.
Is it not possible for us to appreciate
His grandeur and goodness for tbeir
own excellence? Can we not like Him
for what He is? As He looks down
upon a considerably indifferent world.
can we not give Him the happiness or
letting Him see that we are His
friends? And when trouble bewilders
us let us still believe in Him; when
His good name is assailed, let us defend
Him; when He wants some one
to do His work, let us say, "Here am
I, send me." * '
We are familiar enough with the idea I
that God is our friend. But the question
is who are willing to be friends of
God?
y*
Ponder This Fact.
"Take your Bible, and carefully
count, not only the chapters or the
verses, but the letters from the beginning
of Genesis to the 'Amen' of
the Revelation; and when you have
accomplished the task, go over it again
and again?ten times, twenty, forty
times?nay, you must read the very
letters of your Bible eighty times over
before you have reached the requisite
sum. It would take something like the |
letters of eighty Kittles to represent tue
men, women and children of that old
and wondrous empire. Fourteen hundred
of them have sunk into Christian
graves during this last hour: thirtythree
thousand will pa-ss to-day forever

hearts. It is enough to make an angel

SPIDER THAT TRAILS FREY.
Giant Variety of Madagascar Will Kill
Full-Grown Lizards and Rats.
The giant of the whole spider family
is the "hound" or "dog" spider of
Madagascar. Its body weighs almost
a pound and each of its eight legs is
longer and larger in diameter than
the common cedar pencil. Each of its
mandibles is three-fourths of an inch
in length and very strong.
The dog spider does net spread a
net and lie in wait for its prey, as
do the gigantic bird spiders of Ceylon,
but "follows the trail" in exact imitation
of a hund. It will follow a faint
scent to and fro through the weeds
and underbrush uutil the course is ascertained
and then suddenly dart off
in a bee line and quickly overtake the
lizard, rat, mcle or other animal of
which it is in pursuit. It has been
known to capture and kill lizards a
foot or more in length, and Prof. Barnaby
tells of one which pounced upon
and killed a full-grown rat.

The Duty cf Winsomeness.?Prov.
15. 13-15; 17. 22; I Cor. 9. 19-22.
"A meirv (joyful) heart maketh a
ehetrfui countenance"?literally, does
good iO the face; makes it comely,
attractive. The secret cf real winsomeness
is a good heart. A good
heart has a "continual,feast." The man
with a good heart and a good conscience
has a winning way. He is the
winner. Further, it makes a good
medicine. This is an early recognition
of that well-known psychological j
fact that a happy frame of mind gives ;
health to the body; and nothing nuris
it more than grief, anxiety, and a bad
temper. Paul's law of becoming all
things to all men seems to mean the
cheerful and ?lad adaptation of one's
own ways to the needs of another to
'win him to Christ." Only the happy,
cheerful, and optimistic man can
do this.
Our daily readings illustrate the
various phases of this vronderful faculty
or grace. Nothing is quite so
popular as a "winsome" person. He
need not be handsome or rich, but if
he is of a glad heart he is attractive.
The elements of winsomeness are
enumerated by Paul as long-sufTering,
kind, unselfish, not boasting nor egotistic,
unruffled in temper and pure in |
thought. It is gentlemanly, 'behaving
itself seemly," and puts the be?gd
construction possible to any action
It is patient and full of faith q^d
hope.
Paul and Barnabas are good examples
of winsomeness. They caused
"joy" in going through a community,
and at the council giving their experience
and telling of God's dealing
with them won the council to their
views. The motive to all this is the
love of God shed forth in the heart,
making a glad and happy heart. God's
love to as is the impelling cause of
our love 10 ouiers.
The very grace of winsomeness will
give compassion and pity. It will be
our letter of recommendation to others.
It will give us access to the
hearts of men. It will change us into
the image of our Master. It will give
us health and long life. It will bring
recompense on earth and reward in
heaven. Every good promise is to

a Christian heart and life.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
GUNDAY, AUGUST TWENTIETH#
The Duty of Wineomcness.?Prov. a#
13-15; 17: 22; 1 Cor. 9: 19-22.
It is useless to try to put into tho
face what is not in the heart, or to
keep out of the race what is in the
heart.
The physicians are beginning to find
out the powerful influences of the
mind upon the body. A hearty laugh
Prosperity is not synonymous witn
Providence.
The word of salvation is always in
season.
The fear of the Lord secures the
flight of the devil.
The lowering brow does not prove
the heavy brain.
Walking worthily means more than
walking wearily.
Suoprstiticn is v.Jiat you do not believe
science is what you do.
Wedding GifA From Pet Animals.
Several of thA spring brides have
received very han?omc presents from
the pet dogs andJats and other animals
in the houj^olrfs of friends. Two
pet dogs recently sent a bride asparagus
tongs, the cats selected a cake
basket of antique pattern and the
canary bird made a happy choice of
after-dinner coffee cups. So that when
a whole battalion of animals are attached
to a fashionable home, and
something may be expected from each,
it is really a matter of serious consideration.?Town

| but always serving; there is a great
j difference.
Suggestions.
I Winsomeness is based on sympathy
| with others, and sympathy with others
Is based on knowledge of them.
Winsomeness is fortunate if it is
natural, blessed and praiseworthy if it
is acquired.
It is Christ lifted up that is to dravr
all men to Himself; it is not we.
A winsome soul-winner must be unconscious
of himself; he must be
doubly conscious of Christ.
Illustrations.
Winsomeness is a matter of the
heart, not of the face, just as two
pieces of iron may look alike, and
only one of them be a magnet.
As the power of gravity is to be
utilized anywhere and at any time, so
is the power of Christ's attractiveness.
As the power of attraction increases
as bodies come closer together, and
Inversely as the square of the distance,
so if you would win men, you
must get close to them.
I If a merchant wants to draw people
to his store, he offers for sale not
| the kind of goods he fancies, but the
kinds people like.
Is there any particular person
whom you are trying to win for
Phrisf?
Men ought to prize the reputation
Df knowing how to win young men
and clear away their troubles. It is
the greatest honor you and I can en|oy.?Moody.
Divide the society into fourths,
each fourth to take some part in oite
of the church prayer meetings.
Find some definite work to do for
the church. Do it, and then find
something else to do for it.

Good Substitute for Lobster.
A Damariscotta. Me., man proposes
to save the lobster from extinction by
providing a substitute. This he finds
in the crabs which swarm the Maine
coast. This crustacean has not been
popular in the past solely, we are told,
because of the labor necessary to get
the meat from the shell. The Maine
man is going to put the meat on the
market "shucked" end claims that the
' present high prices of sea food makes
his work profitable. The lobster will
