TURNING GRAY v - r AND THREATENED WITH BALDNESS The Sanger is Averted by Using AVER'S HAIR VIGOR "Kearly forty years ago, after some weeks of sickness,' my hair turned gray and began falling out ".so rapidly that I was threatened -with immediate baldness. Hearing Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of, I commenced using this prepara- , v. .-. ... tion, and was so well satisfied with the result that I .have never tried any other kind of dressing. It stop ped the hair from falling out, stimu lated a new growth of hair, and kept , the scalp free from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now ..needed to keep my hair of good, natural color. I never hesitate to recommend any of Ayer's medicines to my friends." Mrs. II. M. IIaight, Avoca, Neb.

Curtis, preached at the Con gregational church, was listened to with deep interest by a large audience. Just at this time, when the country ia pass ing through a crisis, of which the end is not in sight, the speaker's words were especially appropriate. We have been asked by several to print the entire sermon, but space permits only a brief synopsis. The singing by the choir was .up to its usual high standard. j.ne .eunjeci ,oi me sermon was fT?"

Life ia full of perplexing problems, the only satisfactory solution of which ia in the fact that God is in and over all, working for the good of them that love him. In these times, through the plighty enterprise and "power of the press, we have the whole world before ns, and not the little segment of it which we had even fifty years ago. But bow little do e comprehend of the mighty issues which are placed before us in these daily records. How can we conceive, much less measure, the seething, swelling, hurrying life of the millions who inhabit this globe 'of ours? From one section comes the story of a frenzied and lawless mob in possession Jof a great railway system, or of an important manufactur ing center, protesting against some mon strous wrong, fancied or real; and. de manding justice ahd"a fairer wage, like a promise of heaven or a threat of hell. - V aaa WUWVUU vuu ivi v u-i - o fcUW DIlUI J of the brutal massacre of thousands of unoffending men, women and children, -ana tr armies ana navies massing, pre pared for deadly conflict ; of plans for the apportionmeat of empires and the reconstruction of the map of a continent. From one page we read of the plana of statesmen or the schemes of politicians, in which folly and selfishness are as likely as wisdom and righteousness to give the law for a generation to a nation which reckons itself foremost in the civ il?zation of the world: From another page, perhaps, we read of a raging con flagration, or a fierce cyclone, or rushing flood, carrying whole towns to destruc tion in its path. We read of the explo . eiori of a mine, of - some great railroad uisBBici, uiiugmg mo quicK norror oi death .or disability for life. We read oi .IT. . . V. ..I : a.! - - 1 i r i grand generosities and splendid philan thropies, of blessed reformatipna - and revivals,, and also of selfishness and greed and corruption; the betrayal of trusts and of religion itself ' in high . places ; ot poverty that suffers for the ..comforts of life, and on the same page, it may be, of a million dollars spent -"upon a wedding In high life. ' ,- It requires some'thing more than our petty human power to stand secure in the midst of all this and euch. We need to feel that we have a God, who is a Father over all. But whatever hope of trfgjc . . .-l! villi? good we may have from oar relation to a higher than human power, it must come from being in right relations to it, which harmony, when it comes, and in proportion as it comes, will bring the very kingdom of God. ; From all over our country we. hear the cry that the times are "hard." .No one, it may be, can'give' the whole reason for our business troubles, and no one eive full dhcclion for theway but of them. But one great reason, in the midst of all, is a want of confidence. What is needed ia an increase of national faith. We need to know that our congress proposes to be honest in making laws, and that our executive proposes to be vigilant in (executing them ; and, more than all, that the people shall stand behind them. When it is seen that thisnation intends every dollar to be permanently invested with an equal purchasing power, the silver dollar will be no longer looked upon with suspicion, or its inscription, In God we trust," a travesty. Confi dence can be restored only by following the eternal law, spoken agea ago by the prophet, "God requirea of thee, O man, (and God's requirement, I venture to declare, will be parallel with the need of the times and the welfare of the na tion) that thou do justly." If we are disobedient to this fundamental law, we need not wonder that, in the midst of the most magnificent material resources, our national credit stands quite shaken before tho world. I do not presume, for an instant, to prescribe the form of financial legisla tion of this nation ; but this I do de clare, that a tremendous gain a sense of fundamental security to every form of legitimate business would come with the assurance that congress would enact laws, and' thejexecutive and peo ple would stand by laws which were the embodiment of the desires and purpose of this nation to be honest and deal justlv. Mistakes there will always be, serious in their seeming, but they would count for little before the power of that determination, which would brush their evil results away like cob webs. at st. paul's church. The attendants at St. Paul's church yesterday heard a beautiful and scholarly sermon from Rev. Mr. Gosp, on the subject of "Adam in Paradise," Gen. i:26-27. He spoke of the circum stances of the creation of man, in what image he was originally made and how he beuC. ne sinful, 'showing from the ex cellence of his first creation how great baa been his fall and how widespread the consequent ruin. "What the Bible relatea with regard to the creation is but the necessary preface to its mighty theme, not professing to be a book of science nor designing to give information on geology, or natural history. There is one point on which the Bible is very ex plicit, namely, that as God created, so does he uphold the world. Mr. Goss' closing sentences were, "The Eternal Son dwells among us and presents a perfect satisaction by his death upon the cross, that fallen man bv becoming one with Him may again be come one with God. May God soften our hard hearts that we may see His love and feel His holy influence to the salva tion of our never dying eoule." Yesterday the subject of Mr. Goss' sermon being Adam in Paradise, next Sunday 'will be a continuance of the same, under the title of "Adam in the Fallen State." . The singing waa up to its usual high standard, the duets in the Te Deum being most sweetly sung by Mrs. Price and Mrs. Varnev.' There will be services at St. Paul's next Sunday at the usual hours.
