MORE FIGHTI4G IN NATAL.
Winston Churchill Says the Cam-
paign is by No Means Over.
A •despatch from Pietermaritzburg,
Natal, says:—Yesterday the new iron
mounting for the 4.7 naval. gun for
field purposes, invented by Capt. Per-
ry Scott, at H.M.S. Terrible, and oon-
struoted under his direction in the Na-
tal Government railway workshops,
was tested and found in every respect
aatis'factory.
Commander Ogilvie told me .that he
would undertake to move such a gun
wherever field artillery could go, and

present. The fighting is by no means
over here. A continual severe pressure

shortest way to peace.

might be said like orientals of, every
sort, Jesus sat to work and to speak.
His disciples came upon him. At 000e,
in a hall formal way, they surrounded
him and " sat et his feet," His words,
we may assume, were addressed to
them, but with full intent that the
multitudes should hear,
2. He opened his mouth, and taught
them, saying, .\Vjsat iho said 1s otd,
in the modern use of the word, a ser-
mon. It is a series of principles nan
precepts on which the Kingdom of
Heaven is based, It is according to
these rules that the angels do the
will of our Father which is 18i heaven.
We, too, are citizens of heaven, though
temporarily livingon earth. Heaven's
laws are ours. We are not Christians
except we strive unceasingly to weave
into our lives these precepts,
3. The word blessed, which occurs•
nine times in this lesson, has been
turned by some into "'appy," but
"blessed" is better. "Happy," when
applied to a man, is a description of
the state of 'his mind. Blessedness
is happiness plus character. Jesus
is describing the d,erson's con-
dition, whether he be fully eon-
scions of it or not, The' blessing of all
of those mentioned, with the excep-
tion of the poor in spirit and the per-
secuted for righteousness' sake, is
based on their experience in the
future; it is not necessarily a des-
cripbion of the present consciousness
of the blessed ones. The poor, or
needy, in spirit are those contrite and
bumble ones with whom Isaiah says,
the High and Lofty One that in-
hnbiteth eternity, whose name is :GIoly,
will dwell. They are the unoonceit
ed,_ teachable ones who have become
las little ones. ''he Kingdom of Hee-
fvon belongs to such in the very nature
of things, This beatitude is not a
promise; it is a statement of a per-
manent fact; now and through the
unending future theirs is the Kingdom
of Heaven. What does Jesus mean
by t.hisi Not the heavenly world Inere-
ly, nor the future blessedness, but
heaven on earth as well. The phrase:
seems to have been commonly used by,
the Jews to describe the happy condi-
tion of public and private affairs un-
der the rule of the Messiah. Our
Lord's !blessing.
"Makes the rough paths of peevish
nature even.
And opens) in our breasts militia
heaven'."
4. Blessed are they that mourn;
for they shell be comforted. Luke,
Who omLtst "111 spirit from versa 3,
gives this/ second Beatitude in 9•
strange form, "Blessed are ye that
weep now: for ye shall laugh." Pro-
bably both phrases fell from the lips
of the Saviour. T.be old prophets
had promised ihit the illa5aiah should
comfort the mou'raers, who were as-
sumed to be citizens of the Kingdom of
Heaven. But bow' Cron heaven's Intt-
sens mourn/ :They leave griefs like
others—great tribulation sometimes;'
figls'tiogs without' and fears within;
they niouae, also for eisa, follie,s, and.
sorrows of themselves rind of others,
Our Lord -comforts b1, encouraging
and strengthening. Jesus 'saiil to his
disciples, "Your"sorrow stmt be turn-
ed sato* joy. "Rte shall wipe every
tear from, their eyes,". No .one, can
know that full' happiness that even
this world can bring who has not had
bitter sorrow comforted by love. "The
highest friendship would be impossible
In one who had not sorrowed. You can

by reading the writings of an author
whether or nut be has suffered and
inourned, if he is without the.experi-
ences of grief, he looks the power to
read your inmost heart if you have
mourned" So writes Dr. B. Clay
Trumbull. ' And it is an added com-
"ortto us to remember that this .Beati-
tude was pronounced by "Ilim who
MIS made perfect through suffering."
5. Blessed etre. the meek: for they
shell inherit the earth. "This is
that, meekness," says ,Alford, "whose
positive side is love and whose negative
side Is long --suffering." In enrlhly
kingdoms the 111•011 CI take the prizes; in
the Kingdom of Heaven the meek.
Just as i.t is true thee in the main
Honesty is the, best policy, so itis

MR. FRANK 7IAUER, BERLIN, Ow.
Perhaps you know him T In Water-
loo he is known as one of the most
popular and sucoessf ulbusiness men of
that enterprising town. A.8 ,..anag-
ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is
se the head of a vast business, repre-
senting an investment of many thous-
ands of dollars, and known to many
people throughout the Province.
Solid financially, Mr. Frank Bauer
also has the good fortune of enjoying
solid good health, and if appearances
indicate anything, ib is safe to predict
that there's a full half century of
active life still ahead for him. But
it's only a few months singe, while
nursed as an invalid at the Mt.
Clemens sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were dismayed
with a report that he was at the point
of death
" There's no telling where I would
have been had I kept on the old treat-
ment," said Mr. Bauer, with a merry
laugh, the other day, while recounting
his experiences as a very sick man.
"Mt. Clemens," he continued, "was
the last resort in my case. For
months previous I had been suffering
indescribable tortures. I began with
a Joss of appetite and sleepless nights.
Thence, as the trouble kept growing, I
w,as getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food62 any
kind. During all this time I was
under medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, bet without
relief. Tust about when my condition
Sold by G.
seemed most hopeless, I heard of e
wonderful cure effected in a naso
aomewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South AmericanNervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On the first
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medicine
had done. The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night 0
actually felt hungry and ate with an
appetite such as I had not known for
months. I began to pick up in
strength with surprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I knew
it I was eating three square meals
regularly every day, with as muoh
relish as ever. I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Nervine Tonio cured me
when all other • remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 pounds—and never felt better
in my life."
Mr. Frank Bauer's experienoe is
that of all others who have used the
South American Nervine Tonic. Its
instantaneous action in relieving dis-
tress and pain is due to the direct
effeot of this great remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by thevery first
dose. It is a great, a wondrous cure
for all nervous diseases, as well as
indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes
to the real source of trouble direct,
and the sick always feel its marvel-
lous sustaining and restorative power
at once, on the very first day of its
use
