If h man Is really trying to be a true Christian, but loves to have his good work acknowledged by the church and the world, and takes pains to have that done, how would you characterixe him? If a man gives more to religion and charity when the fact Is published than he does when It Is not known, in what class would you place him? If one gives with the motive of helping his fellows and to glorify (Sod. will the fact that his letieticence Is published displease Ood? Why? Verses tVti Give reasons for your opinion ns to whether there are those today who act as If they were religious, in the matter of going to church, etc., but who are not true to Cod?

There Is little dan ger, however, of any of these diseases lielug contracted when a good ex lectorant cough medicine like Chain lnrlaln's Cough Hemedy Is used.
