Mrs. Florence Henn, 1larlbank, Opt.,
write.:—" My little boy had eoserisa for
adz months. I tried ointment, and
salves, but they holed for only a abort
time, when it would break out worse
than ever. I then decided to give
Bnrdoek Blood Bitters a trial. I only
gave him two bottles, and 1t is now two
months since, and there is no sign of
a return. I feel sure that as a blood
regulator, nothing can equal it. I can-
not satoo much for what 1t has done
for us."

"BUSSED BE DRUDGERY"
The Man Who toves, His Work Finds
Rest, Food and Medicine.
A despatch from Brooklyn. N. Y.,
says:—Re\'. Dr. Newell Dwight Iliilis
preached from the following text:—
My father worketh hitherto, and 1
work.
The history of all achievement is
the history of joyous work. Life Is
so short that to accomplish touch
men must toil terribly and incessant-
ly. Early up and always at it, sum-
marizes the successful career. Work-
ing hard in the teens, the youth finds
himself and develops the raw mater-
ial of character. Working hard in
the twenties, the man lays the foun-
dations of the soul's house. Working
hard in the thirties and forties. ho
slowly- rears the walls and super-
structure. Working hard in the fif-
ties and sixties, he stores the house
with treasure.
Still working at 87, Gladstone and
Bismarck were overtaken by death,
in the hour of jo''ous and creative
work. What toilers were all these
men of achievement, not an Idler
among the statessmen or scholars or
inventors. What the love of music
and Beatrice were to Dante, that the
love of work is to the youth who
would achieve. Therefore tho pro-
verb: "Blessed be drudgery." There-
fore,
!'hero-ford, when men pleaded with Christ
to rest, He answered: "My Father
worketh hitherto, and I work."
The man who has found his place
and loves his daily task finds that
his work is medicinal, and literally
recuperative. His amusement oft tire
him. but in his work he finds rest
and food and medicine. We have all
seen illustrations of this striking
fact. Here is a man called suddenly
away from his work, and ho frets.
worries, goes restlessly about, re-
grets his enforced leisure. thinks of
his toil, his desk, and no bird ever
turned toward the summer with
more joy than ho
RETURNS TO HIS WORK.
It was the love of his appointed
task that stirred Jesus during His
marvelous career. How crowded were
His thirty years! In contrast, other
lives seem etnpty lives of leisure.
During that short earthly career
what revolutions lie wrought in re-
form, in ethic's, and what achieve-
ments lie wrought as teacher•, think-
er, prophet and savior. All His days
et3ulged with worthy- deeds. Ile lit-
erally went about doing good. When
the darkness fell Ile began work
afresh. At night, while other teen
slept. lie gave to Nicodcn►tus the
doctrine of the second chance, the
hope of the new heart for ruined
Saul and Augustine and Xavier, for
every drunkard and sinner. It was
at night, while others slept, that Ho
gave ills (disciples the fourteenth
chapter of John, His wisest, deepest,
profoundest teachings of home and
heaven and Immortality. it was at
night, while others slept. that Ile
passed through His Gethsemane and
tvon (lis victory. In the night Ile
broke the bonds of death of which
Ito could not be holden. At night
Ifo crossed the Sea and carte to Ills
disciples, slurping in their pain and
exhaustion, on the further shore.
And from his master Paul learned
how to work.
But besides all this—the care of all
the churches—ills days were as full
of deeds as the sky is hill of stars.
And what supported Stint Fate the
love of Ills work and the passion
for His Master, for whom lie toiled.
LOVE LIUIl'I'ENi•:1) THE TASK.
Love made labor it medicine. To
every young man cones the reflec-
tion that work helps the worker only
when it is worth the doing. '1'o hate
one's task is to be injured by it.
Work blesses the worker when it is
invested with charm and fascination
and holds sweet allurement. 1IaPJ1y
the hoy' who wakens and with leap-
ing heart dreams that in an hour
he can again undertake the much -
loved labor. A youth asks me how
he is to know what occupation or
profession he should undertake. Tho
answer is near at hand. Docs the
proposed work pull at your heart-
strings and cause you to dream of
It by day and night? And when In
your vision you stand on the moun-
tain peak of your enterprise and look
down on all your tusks, is t t• ' peak
the acute of your love and i .e? 1f
so, these aro the heights that you
aro called upon to climb.
Many a youth hes asked the wheth-
er or not he wax called to the min-
istry, and I have always answered:
"No man is called to the ministry
who can be happy outside of it."
But God colla some men to sow and
some to reap; some to work in wood
and iron, some to sing and speak;
but no ntan is called to any task
who can be happy anywhere else,
and when then go with leaden hearts
into an occupation, influenced by
parents or friends, or consideration
of pride, then they go toward drudg-
ery and failure. These are the great
tragedies of life, because the work
for them is not worth the doing.
These are the many cases where.
"Swords cleave to hands that seek
the plow,
And laurels miss the soldier's brow."
ilest of alt, work is education.
There is a culture that comes with-
out college. Some scholars gain
wisdom through the university 801110
become wise through their work. For
wisdom can be found in shop and
store and field and factory, in kitch-
en and in office. Education itf not
given by others, but
GAINED BY ONES SI.:Lib'.
One youth studies geology by linger-
ing over the picture of a rock, but
Hugh Stiller, the stone mason. mas-
tered geology by lingering over the
reit sandstone in which he wrought..
One boy studies botany by ponder-
ing the picture of a field daisy, but
Hobert Burns mastered the sweet
blossom as he plowed the field and
plucked the daisies. One boy studies
astronomy by memorizing the chart
of the sky, but the boy named Fer-
guson, watching his sheep in the
early evening, with 0110 large top for
the sun and seven little ones held by
strings for the planets, made a chart
of the cosmic system, and each night
he moved his tons to correspond
with the flight of Venus and Mercury
and Jupiter.
What knowledge l:+ of most worth?
asked Herbert. Spencer. Our answer
is. 'That which is self -gained. What
culture is finest in quality and sweet-
est in perfume? That which grows in
the garden of solitude where God's
skies give rain and dew. God is
not the (pod of a few—lie is the God
of all. With disinterested love Ile
has flung wide the gates of His
greatest university—the university of
hard work. The temple of fame and
wisdom stands open by day and by
night, but the angel that keeps the
door whispers. "I.et no drudge, no
idler, think to enter here."

S'I'A'TI:MI':N1'. -
l. The Lessons Grouped in fairs.
Taking the (:olden Text ns our key
we unlock twelve statements "writ-
ten that we ought beliete that Jesus
is the Christ the Son of God." The
first pair of lessons gives un the tes-
timony of John the Baptist, the
second pair shows Jesus gathering
g
his disciples and confirming thein in
their faith: the third pair gives us
his deep spiritual teachings to Niro -
(lentils and tho woman of Samaria;
the fourth pair manifests his power
in healing the son of the nobleman
nt Capeenaunt and the infirm man
at the pool of Bethesda: the fifth
Pair tlisploys Jesus as the Mead of
God and the Water of God, n Source
of strength and refreshment not. only,
but a means also of snaking his fol-
lowers fountains of blessing to help
quench the thirst of others (the
teachings of Lesson X correspond
closely with those of Lesson \'I and
the context there); the sixth pair
shows thy n direct statement in Les
won XI and by a most instructive
miracle in Lesson XII) that ['sedum
from the power and penalty of sin
can only come thro igh the Son of
Gott.
11. 'lite Signs of the Lessons.

,ages are all mentioned ns "stgnv "

ilee. The Third Sign In our group
Is the miracle of the infirm man at
the pool of Fithesda, Lesson VIII;
the fourth la the miracle of the

the miracle of (ho man horn blind,

each sign is shown by coupling each
with the Golden 'Text of the lete.on
which records it: Prompt obedience

Christ as the Son of God by the
Second; the inadequacy of human
means by lite 'Third; the truth ex-
pressed in the two figures, "T nut the
living Bread which C: ' down front

111. 'lite Testimony of the Lessons.
'lite teachings of the Quarter's les-
sons hate barn too numerous for full
recapitulation here. Inuring the Inst
twelve Sundays very much of gospel
truth has come under our reverent
survey. '1'o recall it We may recount.

parry's building on Thursday afternoon.
The directors' report, which was unani-
mously .ulol'ted, si+uws u must satisfac-
tory increase an each item of the
company's bu,intss. During, the year
the balance of the authorized capital 01
the company was disposed of at 150,
the issue being largely over -subscribed
for. thu required amount being alluted
and paid for within ten days. The
amount of now insurance issued during
the year was $2.238,157, an increase
of 38 per cent. The amount of is-'
surance in fore + at the end of the year
was $7,046.798.35, an increase of $1,-
474.192.85. or 24 per cent. Ths in-
come, excluding capital, was 1283.502.-
61. Thu disbursements were $1138,-
280 90, of which nearly $50.000 com-
prise; payments to policyholders. The
company's death rate for the year
was 5 50. the average annual rate since
the company commenced business being
the unparalleled low one of 3.54. The
net assets are $845,071.82, the in-
crease being $172,645.80, or 20 per
cent. Thu company's investments have
proved extremely hatishtrtory from the
standpoint of both security and pro-
ductiveness. The gross assets for se-
curity of policyholders, including un-
called capital, are $1.252,418.20, be-
ing an increase of $291,008.58. It Is •
well-known fact that the security at -
forded to policyholders by all regular
Canadian companies is absolute, but
taking the amount of the company's
policy contracts into consideration, it
will be soon that the extra security nt-
forded ale policyholders is unusually
large. 1'he reserve fund now totals
1738,048.81, an Increase of $134.'297.-
94, or 23 per cent. The net surplus on
{policyholders' account is $88.801.89.
The company's sphere of operations has
been extended during the year. the com-
pany now pushing for business and
meeting with good success in every
part of the Dominion. It is expected
that the additional organization effected
will result most advantageously to both
shareholder and policyholders. The com-
pany attributes it, continued succeo-ar
to its attractive plans of insurance and
liberal policy contracts. coupled with
its prominence In respect to those fea-
tures of its business in which policy-
holders are most particularly interested.

A new kind of school is about to
he started by the authorities of
Charlottenburg for the benefit of the
children who, though not exactly ill,
aro so weakly that they aro very
liable to be attacked by disease,
more especially tuberculosis. The
school is to be built ilk the depths of
the ,Tunfernheide Woos, near Berlin,
and the children will remain there
the whole day, special arrangements
being made to supply then with
their meals. 'They are only to re-
ceive from two to three hours' in-
struction daily, and aro to spend
the rest of the day in taking healthy
exercise in the forest.
