Good Congregation Attends
Christian Revival.
Notwithstanding the rain last
evening Mr. Taylor spoke en
tertainingly and instructively to
an appreciative audience at the
Christian church.
His subject was, “The Divine
Directory or Stepping Heaven
ward." <
He chose as the basis of his
talk those verses in the first
chapter of Second Peter, which
enumerate the Christian graces.
“Giving all diligence, add to
your faith virtue, and to virtue
knowledge, and to knowledge
temperance, and to temperance
patience, and to patience godli
ness, and to godliness brotherly
kindness, and to brotherly kind
ness Charity.” The striving for

Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“I suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, "and the third and

I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to

I also had dreadful pains In my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, I
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.

I believe i would have died If I hadn't
taken it
After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely.
I fattened op, and grew so much
stronger to three months, I felt like an
other person altogether."
Cardui Is purely vegetable and gentle- j
acting. Its Ingredients have a mild, tonic i
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.

of these qualities or virtues in
the Christian life being laid
upon by Divine command, they
become items in God’s directory

Mr. Taylor emphasized the

At Least Knew Hie Value.
A native, named Appu, of Kotahana,
Ceylon, recently attackeu his fathei
1 and mother with a mallet while they
were asleep, and nearly killed them.
The excuse he subsequently gave
was that he was disgusted with hi*
“miserable parents for having such a
] low-down son.”
Speech in Marble.
Rodin says of the antique master
pieces: They “speak to me loudor,
move me more, than human beings,
In Its turn, may the new century medt
tate upon these marvels, and may II
try to ascend to them through lntelli
sence and love.”
WHAT WE OWE TC WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makers
mt the Home and Provider*
of Comfort.
Social progress with primitive wom
an waa stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, to dress
tad to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
•>f the home or shelter. It Is the fo
pale bird that makes the nest, ths
female mammal that digs the burrow
lor her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as a bom* for
iters. The human female more titan
ill the rest created her home. But
not only Is this true, but she differen
tiated the home, and all pants of the
most elaborate establishment ware
mstltuted by her or on her account
The first homes were cheerless
laves. Fire could not b* made in
them because of the snuike, so wom
an sought out a cave with an opening
!n the rear, or a rock shelter with a
high curved roof. When she became
i dweller in a tent she searched for
■be oldest wood, learned the myste
Ies of the fuel problem and even in
dented the coral to Induce the wind
o draw a little of the smoke there
and to increase her comfort. 1
To the women of the household we !

Fortunate PrloilofT Islander*.
A curious and Interesting people are
the Priblioff Islanders In Bering son.
When the United States government
took over the Islands, along wltn
Alaska, the Russian colonists became
in a measure wards of the nation, bat
they have remained true to the tafli>
eaoe to'which they were first sab
Jected. and In some respects are to
Sty more Russian than American at
heart. All of them are members of
the Russian church, and all aX them
have Russian names, selected for the
moot part from among the nobility.

thin instance been a faithful guardian

Lover's Unique Devotion.
An unuaual manner In whloh I
lover's devotion was shown occurred
at Zurich, Swltserland, recently. 4
cobbler, whoee sweetheart died, aj£
prentioed htmeeU to a stone-cutter la
order to execute a fitting tribute t<
her memory, and after fourteei
months he was able to carve a beat*
ttful rose on a marble slab and wrltt
beneath: "Such was She.'* After 11
had been erected over her grave h«
returned to hie first trade, and noa
repairs shoes as before.
Examine Strange Pereonality.
A Frenchman, named Marguy, said
to posaesB the hide of an elephant,
Instead of the ordinary human skin,
and therefore believed to be an ab
normally constituted person, not ac
countable for his actions, is to be
medically examined at the request of
the French attorney general to de

| some months.
Safety In Friendship.
An Intimate friendship is at once
a safeguard in recreation and social
i enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
fore he plunges into surroundings
! which he knows his best friend would
oondemn. It Is a stimulus, because j*
• tn work or business, or even play, s I
, man does not willingly lag behind j
| while the friend Is forging ahead. In i
oomxnon endeavors for good oauses, I
religious or social or political, friend- j
ship is a powerful inducement to self
forgetting activity.
