THE BEST Family RlEoicwE She Haa Ever Known. Words of Praise from a Hew York Lady for AYER'SPILLS " I would like to adil my testimony to that of others who have used Ayer'a Pills," and to say that I liavo taken them for many years, and always derived the best results from their use. . For stom ach and liver troubles, and for the cure of headache caused by these derange ments, Ayer's i'iils cannot be equaled. ' A "When my friends ask me v.-liat i:; tlio best remedy for disorders of the stom ach,, liver, or bowels, my invariable answer is, Ayer's Tills. Taken in sen son, they will break up a cold, prevent la grippe, check fever, and regulate the digestive organs. They are easy to take, and are," indeed, the best all-round family medicine I have ever known." Mrs. Mat Johnson, 303 Rider Avenue, New York City. , AYEi'S PilLS Highest Honors at World's Fair. Ayer's Sarsapariila Cures ail Blood Disorders. PULPITS AND PEWS. CONGREGATION AIi CHURCH. "Pure Religion" was the theme upon which Key. W. C. Curtis spoke at the! Congregational church yesterday, both morning and evening. From the con clusion of the text that pure religion and undefined is to visit the widow and 'fatherless in their affliction and to keep one's self unspotted from the world, the 8peakei gave an exposition of what prac tical religion should be. sJust as the farmer judges of his land by the crops it returns, so is the Christian to judge of his religion by the results it obtains. Not only should a person practice be nevolence, hut with it should be given the human sympathy, without which benevolence fails of its chief good. The evening sermon was a continuation of the morning discourse. The singing by the choir was very fine. M. B. CHURCH. The morning theme of Rev. R. C. Motor, who filled the Methodist pulpit, both morning and evening, was "Chris tian Unity," the text being from John svii :21, That they all may be one. The words are taken from the prayer of the Savior just before his death on the cross, in his great desire that there should be a unity of purpose among the people of the earth. In this unity or oneness, is found man's highest happiness and greatest good, Christianity's chief cre dential and God's glory upon the earth. This onenefs is in character, consisting in eingleness of purpose, purity of mo tive, and uniformity of disposition, hence is consistent with diversities of opinion, personal peculiarities, various methods of operation and the existence of different denominations. Religious people may observe different forms of .service, yet be far from Christian unity. The glory of the Christian religion is that it makes men's hearts right, bring ing them into harmony with each other and meeting them in the strongest lxnda of fellowship. The unifying in fluence of Christianity on the nations is eeen in the growing tendency to ami cably adjust all differences, avoiding the destruction of life and human interests by war. The prayer of the text will find its perfect fulfillment in the world to come.. The evening sermon was on the unpardonable sin. The prevalent esti mate of this sin in the minds of many is that It consists in the commission of eome specific crime, but in the opinion of Mr. Motor the unpardonable sin is not that of a moment, nor a day, nor a year, but consists in the gradual train ing of tho mind to reject God's word so that finally holy , things seem to be ab horrent and even hateful. T,he murderers of Christ, the greatest., specific crime of history, did not even commit the un- pardonable sin, for they were prayed for by Christ himself and forgiven. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The evening sermon at the Christian church was a continuation oi the inter eating series on Revelations, which has filled that church to overflowing every Sunday evening.. Rev. Hazel progressed. last night op to the dark ages, beginning about 420 A. D. The symbolical mean' injr of the seven angels with trumpets the four having control of the four winds and the three woe angels, was ex plained as to the first four, by four in vasions upon the city of Borne, which ended in the complete destruction of paganism. The historic meaning of the fifth angel the first woe angel and the continuation of the subject will be taken up next Sunday evening, which is the beginning of the veiled dark ages. We are indebted principally to the Moors for what meagdr history we have of this interesting period, ending about the fifteenth century. Mr. Hazel claims that the book of Revelations lies almost wholly in the past that is that nearly all the prophecies of that book have been fulfilled. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr W.
