Ali that Elijah had done. The sacrifice,
the answer by fire, the slaughter of
the priests, and the prayer for rain.
Ile had slain all the prophets, Stost of
these prophets had probably been lm -

therefore countrymen of Jezebel; an
attack on them was an attack on her,

we recoil from her personal depravit

Lion, The nation was all with her da
before yesterday ; et Is all against her
to -day; but she does not waver. The
message she sent was praotical banish-
ment. If her choice had been to kill
Elijah, she would not have notified hire
beforehand. If she could make biut fly
in terror, he would probably lose his
influence with the people. So let
the gods do, She does not appeal to
Jehovah, as the poor widow of Zarep-
hath did, but is thoroughly loyal to
her false gods. Thy life as the life
of one of them. That is, the head

this time. She gave him twenty -lour
hours in which to leave her little king-
dom. That Jezebel, and not Abab,
really ruled Israel is evident througb-
out the story.

10. Jealous. Not dol' his own honor,
glory, or advantage, but' for the bond.
Who can now say that truly? Israel.
Like David and Paul, Elijah held
Israel in his heart next 'to God, For-
saken thy covenant. The fiolst down-
ward step. Thrown down thine altars.
A1£ter forsaking, God's covenant the
next step :is .to nrglect his eerviee and,

in that form. That had been Elijah's
way of refo.rmiug men. God now taught
him that it was not his way. Jesus
taught his disciples a similar Lesson
when they wished to £olluw .Eiijah's
example, Luke 8. 54-50. The Lord was
not in. The Chaldee version is, "T'hc
glory of the Lord, Shekinah, was not
in the hosts of the angels of the wind,"
etc. The true glory of the Lord is not
in overpowering majesty, but in his
attributes of love and mercy.
12, A still small voice. Literally, "a
sound of soft stillness." Just the gen-
tle, peaceful, comforting voice needed
by his wounded heart. To him it was
a rest and consolation—perhaps noth-
ing more ; but to us, favored by fur-
Iher revelation, it lights up the fact
that "the law was given by Moses,

AIR. FRANK-BAUER, BERLIN, Orly,
Perhaps you know him 1 In Water-
loo ho is known as one of the most
popular and successful business men of
that enterprising town. As eaanag-
ing executor of the Kuntz estate, ho is
at the head of a vast business, repre-
senting au 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, it is safe to predict
that there's,a full half century of
active life shill ahead for him, But
it's only a few months since, while
nursed as an invalid at the 1!'It,
Clemens sanitary resort, when his
friends in Waterloo were dismayed
with a report that he was at the point
of death.
cc 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,
rr Nit, Clemens," he continued, "was
the last resort in my case. For
months previous I had been suffering
Indescribable tortures. I began with
a loss of appetite anti sleepless nights,
Then, as the trouble kept growing, I
woe getting weaker, and began losing
flesh and strength rapidly. "My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind. During all this time I was
under medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, but without
relief. Just about when my condition
Seemed most hopeless, I heard of s
wonderful cure effected in a case
somewhat similar to miue, by the
Great South AmerieanNervine Tonle,
and I finally tried that. On the first
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medioino
had done. The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night I
actually felt hungry and ate with an
appetite such as 5 had not known fqr
months, I began to piok 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 much
relish as ever. I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the Sontb
American Nervine Tonic oured me
when all other remedies failed. I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 ponnda—and never felt better
in my life,"
Mr. Frank Bauer's experience 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
edeot of this peat remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first
dose. It is a great, a wondrous our*
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 ant day of Its
i use,

'A .PART OF THE U. S. NOW,
It 41 the view of the Hawaiian O -
tborities that Mavenbocontes a part
of the United States the moment tha
President attaches bis signature to
the resolution of Congress. The annex-
ation is said to ne complete without
any further action here or in Hawaii.
At the same time, it is possible that
the Hewalian Legislature may pass a
resolution similar to the one passed by
Congress. While it is said that it is'
not necessary, yet it will be a formal-
ity accomplished, and remove every pns-
sibie chattels of quibble over the regu-
lartty of the procedure.
Mr, Thurston explain's the stratus
thus;—'The Hawaiian Senate unant-
mousiy ratified a treaty of annexation.
This, in effect, was a tender of Hawaii
Is the United States. Now the 'United
States accepts the tender by a joint
resolution of. Congr'ese, signed by the
President. The tender and aceoptenoe
complete the act."
It is said .that Ibe t:rensmission ot
the republic to the 'United States rein
be accomplished withoutthe slightest
delay or friction. A complete internal
organization already exists, civil, mil-
itary, eta., and it is pointednit that
this doss away with the delny of or-
ganising a government, Such its warr-
ed .when California was admitted, For
the present the existing civil organiz-
ation will continue with President Dole
as chief executive, andthis will run
along until the five commissioner's ap-
pointed by the President complete a
system of organisation and put it in-
to effect,
