Disraeli, ce ;few,' But show, my .friends, having shown you the origin of bigotry and sectarian- ism, and having shown you the damage it does, I want briefly to show you how we are to war against this terrible evil, and I think we ought to begin our war by realizing our own weakness and our im- perfections. If we make so many mis- takes in the common affairs of life, is it not possible that we may make mistakes in regard to .our religious affairs ? But since we may make mistakes in re. gard to things of the world, do not let us be so egotistic and so pu feied up as to have an idea that we 'cannot make any mistake in regard to religious theories. And then I think we will do a great deal to over- throw the sectarianism from our heart, and the sectarianism from the world, by chiefly enlarging on these things in which we agree rather than those on which we differ. Now, here is a great gospel platform- A man comes up on this side of the plat- form and says, ''I don't believe in baby sprinkling." Shall I shove him off? Here is a man coming up on this side of the platform, and he says, "I don't believe in the perservanee of the saints." Shall I shove him oft ? No. I will say, "Do you believe in the Lord Tesus as your Saviour?" "Do you not trust Him for time and for eternity?" He says, "Yes," "Do you take Christ for time and eternity ?" "Yes." I say, "Come on brother ; one in time and one in eternity ; brother now, brother forever." Blessed be God for a Gospel platform so large that all who re- ceive Christ may stand on it ! I think we may overthrow the severe sectarianism and bigotry in our hearts, and in the church also, by realizing that all the denominations of Christians have yielded noble institutions and noble men. There is nothing that so stirs my soul as this thought. One denomination yielded a Robert Hall and an Adoniram Judson; another yielded a Latimer and a Mel- ville ' another yielded John Wesley and the blessed Summerfield, while our own denomination yielded John Knox andthe Alexanders—men onwhom the world was not worthy. Now,I say, if we are hon- est and fair-mindemen, when we come up in the presence of such churches and. such denominations, although they may bo different from our own, we ought to admire them, and we ought to love and honor them. Churches which can pro- duce such linen and such large -hearted charity, and such magnificent martyr- dom, ought to win our affection—at any rate, our respect. So come on, ye hun- dred thousand Episcopalians in this coun- try, and ye five hundred thousand Pres- byterians, and ye million Baptists, and yo two million Methodists—come on; shoulder to shoulder we will march for the world's conquest, for all nations are to be saved, and God demands that you and I help do it. Forward, the whole line ! And I expect to see the day when all denominations of Christians shall join hands around the cross of Christ and re- cite the creed: " I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, and in the Communion of Saints, and in life ever- lasting. Amen." On the Smoker. Although she had evidently tried hard to conceal the fact, she was really a wo- man. From the tip of her square -toed boot to the brim of her sailor hat she was about as mannish in point of dress as the law allows. Her costume was certainly close to the line where propriety stops and disguise begins. When the car swung around the corner she got in the smoker. She didn't mind smoke—not much—besides it was "advanced" to do just as the men. As the car stopped at the second crossing several men—real men—got aboard. One big fellow plumped himself down beside her. A couple of minutes later he pulled out a cigar and stuck it between two rows' pf black teeth. Turning half around he grunted, "Say, got a match?" The advanced woman diems say any- thing. She simply looked at him—just once—and for a very short time. And the big, unsuspecting fellow knew why he didn't get the match. Lemons and Widowers. Among the passengers on a 14th street car the other day was a middled aged man with a fresh weed on his hat, and quite a number of people must have whispered to themselves that he had late- ly lost the companion of his joys and sor- rows. Among those who observed him closely was a man of about his own age, who had five or six parcels on the seat be- side him, having evidently been doing considerable trading. After a few minutes he walked over to the other and remarked : "I don't mean to be sassy, but I see you are in mourning." " Yes." Wife?" " Yes." " How long since ?" " Just a week." "Um ! Here, take this lemon," con- tinued the questioner, as he drew one from his coat-tail pocket. "I—thank you, but—" " Cost me three cents, but you needn't worry about 'that. You orter keep 'em with you right along.

"It is a good sign to see a business man wearing a rose in his button -hole " said one of the lawyer craft. "It used to be considered the proper caper for a profes- sional man, but the business man whose wife or daughter fastened a flower on his coat lapel, always threw it away as soon as he was out of sight. ' Too much like a dude,' was his moral reflection on the subject. Now all this is changed, and the man who does not wear a rose in his button -hole is the exception instead of the rule. If there is no sentiment—or rose—at home with which he can be dec- orated, there are flower windows to in- sinuate a dewy boutonniere within the focus of his attention, and to pin the pretty tribute on his lapel for 'five cents, please.' And in consequence his judg- ments are tempered with mercy, and his business thrives all the clay; and when he goes home it will be in a frame of mind to incliceto that the scent of the rose clings to him still." • Hopeless.

A Remarkable Cure of Consumption in Its Last Stages -Is this Once Dreiuled Disease Conquered ?—Important Facts to All Suffering from Diseased or Weak Lungs. ELMWOOD, Ont., Aute?. 21, 1894. DEAR Sues:—I wish to call your atten- tion to a remarkable cure of consumption. In March, 1898, I was called in my pro- fessional capacity to see Miss ,Christina Koester, of North Brant, who was then suffering from an attack of inflammation of the left lung. The attack was a severe one, the use of the lung being entirely gone from the effect of the disease. I treated her for two weeks when recovery seemed assured. I afterwards heard. from her at intervals that the progress of re- covery was satisfactory. The case then passed from mynotice until June, whenI was again called to see her, her friends thinking she had gone into -consumption. On visiting her I found their suspicions too well founded. From robust health she had wasted to a mere skeleton, scarce- ly able to walk across the room. She was suffering from an intense cough, and ex- pectoration of putrid matter, in fact about a pint each night. There was a burning hectic fever with chills daily A careful examination of the previously dis- eased lung showed that its function was entirely gone, and that in all probability it was; entirely destroyed. Still having hopes that the trouble was dues to a collec- tion of water around the lungl asked for a consultation, and the following day with a prominent physician of a neighboring town again made a careful examination. Every symptom and physical sign indi- cated the onset of rapid consumption and the breaking down of the lungs. • Death certainly seemed but a short time dis- tant. A regretful experience had taught me the uselessness of the ordinary rem- edies used for this dread and fatal disease, and no hope was to be looked for in this direction, I had frequently read the testimonials in favor of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in wasting diseases, but not knowing their composition hesitated to use them. Finally, however, I decided to give them a trial, and I am free to say that I only used them at a stage when I knew of absolutely nothing else that could save the patient's life. The test was a most severe one, and I must also admit an unfair one, as the patient was so far gone as to make all hope of recov- ery seem impossible. A very short time, however, convinced me Qf the value of Pink Pills. Although using only an or- dinary soothing cough mixture along with the pills, within a week thesymp- toms s m1 - toms had abated so much that it was no longer necessary for me to make daily calls. Recovery was so rapid that within a mouth Miss Koester was able to drive to my office, a distance of about six miles, and was feeling reasonably wells except for weakness. The expectoration had ceased, the cough was gone, and the breathing in the diseased lung was being restored. The use of the Pinch Pills was continued until the end of October, when she ceased to take the medicine, being in perfect health. I still watched her case with deep interest, but almost a year has now passed and not a trace of her illness remains. In .fact she is as well as ever she was and no one would. suspect that she had ever been ailing, to say nothing of having been in the Clutches of such a deadly disease as constt:mption. Her recovery through the use of Pink Pills after having reached a stage when other remedies wen of no avail is so remarkable that I feel myself justified in giving the :facts to the public, and I 'egret that the composition of the pills is not known to the medical profes- sion• at large in order that their merit and their usofulndss be thus extended. I intend giving them an extended trial in the case of : consumption, believing from their action in this case (so well marked) that they -will prove e :curative in all cases where e cure is at all possible -I mean before the ltuigs are entirely destroyed.
