McDonald, late postmaster of 16n -
don, Ontario, who died on Saturday
lust, was for many years a resident
of Wingham and beloved by the en-
tire community for hie general sym-
pathetic and upright character. He
came to Wingham in 1871 and was
elected to the Federal Parliament in
'1887 as a Liberal and represented,,this
constituency for 18 years. A a
young man he first taught school and

She Suffered For
Twenty-five Years
THEN M.1)E. ARBOUR USED
DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS
Qiiebec Lady Who Suffeeed from
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and
Dropsy Restored to Good Health by
Using Dodd's Kidney Pills.
White Head Perce, Que., April 2nd.
(Special). "For twenty-five years I
have suffered from various forms of
kidney disease which includes Bright's
Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy. I had
pains in my back and was always
tired and nervous: At times I found
it difficult to eeppllect my thoughts and
I had sharp pains on the top of my
head."
"I took fifteen boxes of Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills and they have done me a
lot of good. I am now enjoying good
health."
Madame Francois Arbour, who lives
here, makes the above statement. All
over Canada, Dodd's Kidney Pills are
recognized as suffering women's best
friend. They act directly on the kid-
neys, making them strong a n d
healthy. Diseased kidneys are the
cause of nine -tenths of all the ills
women are heir to. Sound kidneys
means pure blood. Pure blood means
good health.
Weak, nervous, run-down women
shh uld ask their neighbors about
)r i'd's Kidney Pitt.
How Old A -re You?
(From the Ottawa Citizen).
To a child at school, a person of
thirty, especially if she be a maiden
aunt, is aged. That same person of
thirty is likely to think he or she la
in the first blush of youth compa4i'ed
with someone who has reached fifty.
('r,ngruity has much to do with the
matter. Place a young man with a
silky moustache among a collection of
greybeards, and he immediately takes
on all the outward aspects of a downy
cheeked boy. But place one of the
greybeards on a ballroom floor, and
he looks like an ancient twice his
real age; which goes to show that
age is not a matter of years so much
as a matter of scenery.
NEW BLOOD NEEDED IN THE
SPRINGTIME
Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a
Blood -Improving, Health.
Restoring Tonic.
Every man, woman and child needs
new, rich, red blood at this time of
the year. That is a scientific fact.
Ail doctors know it. The blood grows
thin and poor in the winter; there is
not enough of it and spring shows
the effect. Takenotice and see bow
many people are pale and sallow at
this time of the year. They complain
of being easily tired, their appetite is
poor, they are often depressed and
low-spirited. That is mother nature
urging them to improve their blood
supply; but often their digestion is
weakened so that they cannot turn
food into blood without help. Here is
where modern medical science comes
to the rescue. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have a direct action on the blood
and enable you to get full use of the
blood -making elements in your meals.
Yot: soon feel their effect—your ap-
petite improves, your nerves are
steadier, color returns to the cheeks
and lips, you have more vim and ener-
gy and can work with less fatigue.
The above statements are borne out
by the experience of Mr. J. P. Gres-
shuk, Janow, Man., who says:—"Very
recently I found myself in a badly run
down condition. My stomach was
quite out of order; I could eat but
little and what I did eat did not ap-
pear to nourish me. I did not seem
to have enough blood; my hands and
legs were blue, and I had no strength
to work. I tried several medicines
hut did not get good results. Then
one day reading our newspaper I read
about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
decided to try them. I used a half
dozen boxes, and now feel well and
strong, have a good appetite, and can
do my work with ease. Naturally I
have great faith in this medicine as
a blood-makingtonic."
y Y
merely feel easily tired and ous-of-
sorts, you should try Dr. Wialims'
t Pink Pills this spring. They are sold
by medicine dealers everywhere, or
will be sent by mall at 50 cents a box,

HOW AND WHEN TO DESTROY
soilstile "ktie eirr� `1au`nMO
ment for that purpose. The "tlljing'!
harrow is also satisfactory for gent.;
partitively loose solls and is preferred
as a weed destroyer on firm 'or clayey
land. Weeda are irregular in time of
germination; consequently it is nec-
essary to apply the weeder.,or harrow
frequently throughout the growing
season. Potatoes, or fields, of corn
and ceretil grains when sown with a
drill, may advantageously be cultivat-
ed with such {mplements once or
twice before the crop distinctly shows
above the ground, and again, with
corn and ordinary grain crops,''when
the planta are three to six inches high.
Evert relatively heavy harrows ordin-
arily in use will 'do little damage to
fhe potatoes, corn or grain plants if
the land is not wet, while the loosen-
ing of the surface soil benefits the
crop in addition to the destruction of
the weeds.
For perennial weeds, or seedlings,
that have become well rooted, a culti-
vator having diamond-shaped or other
relatively broad'sthares is needed for
hoed crops. The disc is a favored im-
plement for destroying weeds in a
summer fallow or in preparing seed
bed. When, however, it is desired to
unearth and remove the rootstocks of
perennial weeds, such as couch grass,'
a narrow-toothf:d cultivator that will
loosen the soil and bring the under-
ground vegetation to the surface, is
preftdr'ed to an implement that will
cut the rootstocks, the small cuttings
of which may be exceedingly persist-
ent in growth.

Then is the time to trust our God,

His loving kindness shall break

StNDAY SCHOOL LESSON. FOR
APRIL 8th, 1923
Lesson Title—Abraham, the Hero
of Faith.
Lesson Passage—Gen. 12:1-5; •Heb.•
11:h-10, 17-19.
Golden Text—Rom. 4.3.
The tribe to which Abraham, the
great Lerefather of the Hebrews be-
longed, had its original seat in th
distrit:t lying north of Assyria in the,
mountains of Southern Armenia,
straight south of Mount Ararat. The
name Hebrew was first given to Ab-
raham by the C'anaanites, meaning
those who had come from beyond the
great river Euphrates. The first
glimpse of tribal Life appears in the
migration of Terah, the father of
Abraham, from his native mountains
to the. plains of Mesopotamia. What
led Terah to migrate with his tribes
is not told us; possibly it was the
pressure of other tribes advancing
from beyond; or perhaps the induce-
ment was the rich pasture of the low-
lands. His family consisted of three
sons and one daughter, Sarah, the
future wife of her half-brother Abra-
ham — the children of different
mothers but a common father.
Abraham grew up in the midst of
idolatry and superstition firmly es-
tablished in the land to which they
had migrated; but his soul remained
pure as a "white lily in muddy wa-
ters," amidst the seductive influenc-
es which won over even Terah, his
father. "To have kept true in a
household that served other gods
than Jehovah; to have turned aside
from the degrading false beliefs sur-
rounding him implies in Abraham a
grandeur of soul, and art instinctive
perception of the true and eternal
which pTace him in the forefront of

7th—In thee shall all families of
the earth be blessed.
In the last is to be seen the crown-
ing blessing. Here is reference to
the Messiah in whom all promises
are yea and amen.
Verses 4-6.
Abram set forth as the head of a
large body of tribesmen. This we
know because a few years later he
chose from among, them three hun-
dred and eighteen trained men .to
pursue Chedorlomer. In very plc-
turesque words Dean Stanley de-
scribes this journey. We quote the
following paragraph: "All their
substance that they had gotten is
heaped high on the backs of their
kneeling camels. The slaves that
they �iad brought' in Herren run along
by th 'r sides. Round them are their
flocks of sheep and goate, and the
asses, moving beneath the towering
forms of the camels. The chief is
there, amidst the stir of movement,
or resting at noon within his black
tent, marked out from the rent by
his cloak of brilliant scarlet, by the
fillet of rope which binds the loose
handkerchief round his head, by the
'spear which he holds in his hand to
guide the march, and to fix the en-
campment." And thus they journey-
ed on until they came' into the land
of Canaan.
Heb. XI:8-10; 17-19. .
Had Abram been only the head of
an Arab tribe, no matter how fam-
oils in his day, his name would have
perished long ago._ That it is rever-
ed still is due to his having given the
true religion to n ankind. He
stands out a grand tigure—the faith-
ful alone among the faithless. Hav-
ing left behind him home and friends
he wanders at God's command W un-
known lands that 'het may find and
establish that -spiritual freedom de-
nied him ip his native country. In
Gen. 18.19 we have his genuine fear
of God recognized by Jehovah. In
Geri. 14:18-20 is to be found a record
of the high regard in which he was
held by the foreign races in whose
midst he wandered. He lived by
faith. The influences of idolatry de-
manded a rare moral courage to sur-
mount them even though He had
learned to trust and lean upon the
Unseen.
In these verses in Hebrews the
writer makes special reference to two
instances of the power of faith ex-
hibitird by Abraham. Each of these
required 'confidence in God et an ex-
traordinary degree. The first has al-
reudy been dealt with in this le-sso,,
namely the leaving of hist home and
kindred end going away to sojourn
among strangers. Through all these
}cars Abraham held .to the promise
that 'this sarne land Was to be the
possession of ' his posterity. The
second instance is in verses 17-19;
when Abraham showed his readiness
to sacrifice his own son in obedience
to the will of 'God. This is undoubt-
edly the strongest illustration of
faith' which has ever been manifest-
ed' by man in this world. By this
strange test was the strength and
reality of his faith tried.
He had been promised a great pos-
terity through the son he was called
upon to sacrifice. There was only
one way in which this promise could
be fulfilled, and that was through his
being raised again from . the dead.
Abraham fully believed this would be
done, for in Gen. 22.5 we read:—
"And Abraham said unto his young
men, Abide ye here with the ass, and
I and the lad will go yonder and wor-
ship, and come again to you." Thus
,early in the history of the world were
manifsted wondrous faith in an All -
wise, all powerful Ruler of the. Uni-
verse, and surely it is not more dif-
ficult for people to -day to give un-
questioning implicit obedience to
God's will for us, and to live looking
"for a city which hath foundation,
whose builder and maker is God."
