I am the angel of death and have
come for you and that your trial ends
that way?” “Yes,” I said. “No.” she
replied, “your work is not finished,
hut I have come to give you these
words:
“‘ln life’s pathway grow many pleas
ures,
But we should not seek to cull them
all—
Lest in the gath’ring we stumble and
\fall,
Instead, we should, without a mur
\ mur,
Drink deep drafts from life’s cup of
sorrow.
So be purified for the great t’morrow."
She vanished, and I waked myself,
going over and over the words and
counting the metre on my fingers.
Now, with ail the other busy hours of
my life, I had never before or since
filled any of my time with any at
tempt to write poetry, hence it could
not have come merely out <of my
own brain. I lay there for some min
utes, trying to realize that it had
been a dream; and trying to grasp
the fullness of its meaning.
Fearing that I might forget the ex
act wording, I got up and wrote the
words down, then went back to a
peaceful sleep.
When I awoke next morning the
tumult in my heart was gone and in
its stead a firm decision to take that
side where I had realized the thorns
and heartache and criticism lay, for
my Master’s sake, instead of the
one where, to human judgment, it
had seemed I ought to go, and cer
tainly where the less personal sac
rifice and the greater pleasure, as
the world sees it, would call me.
That was several years ago. That
decision has brought, many “cups of
sorrow.” It has had its Gethsemanes,
tout, oh! Young People, it has also
had the “mounts of transfiguration.
Numbers of times it has carried me
down where the walls of doubt and
despair of spiritual struggle closed in
about me, yet always my Savior has
been there, too, and in His own way
has reached down and lifted me out.
Out of it has come spiritual
strength and close companionship
with my Savior, hours of an inex
pressible joy that I could never have
known, save through that (decision;
that came that night.
Now, from whence came the dream?

A QUESTION BOX.
Dear Editor and Readers: It has
been raining all day long. It is such
as many of us dread.
I have seen so many good letters
on our page since our honor roll has
been established for our department,
that I come again to ask a little space.
Bunny, I am glad you like my let
ters. I wish all of our readers were
as enthusiastic over our reunion as
you are. And it seems though our
anticipations are to be crowned with
success at last.
Julia Lane, your poems are good.
They show that you put a great deal
of thought on them. We did not know
we had such talent in our midst. We
are glad to hear from V. H. S. and
Bertha Wiggs; they must write of
ten. Willie Brooks, your letters arc
good also.

All questions we find that we can't
answer and all those we know and
think that others can’t answer, we
could put them in the query box.
The names of those that asked the
questions could be put under the
question, and the same with the an
swers. Write and tell us how you
would like this. I will be the first
one to drop a question into the box:

WATERBOUND.
For two days rain has been falling,
'rhe torrent from the eaves and the
splash of drops, driven by fitful gusts
of wind, against the window panes,
bring a feeling of depression, that the
cozy room, with its books and maga
zines and open fireplace, in which a
bed of coals make a bright picture,
can not dispel.
Both the creeks, one on each side
of us, are out of their banks, so our
dusky small boy very gravely informs
us. There can be no getting out for
several days, and we turn to an old
book and some of the recent maga
zines for entertainment; and, although
they are as good as can be had, we
feel that they are only second best,
that, nothing so inanimate can take the
place of human companionship; and
we look out of the darkened window
very, very often for the friend who
we well know can not come; and
then we read a little more, and talk
and laugh a little and keep busy.
But the rain stops at last, on the
third day, and the creek having run
down, the boy goes to the office, and
when he returns, he brings a letter
from a friend, who we did not know
held us very close in heart, and our
own hearts thrilled as we read the
written words. And then the one for
whom we looked, when the clouds
hung low, came by, just to say, “I
thought of you.”

A Thing Worth Knowing.
An eminent Cancel’ Specialist states
that hardly a day passes that does not
bring him one or more letters from
people afflicted with Cancer who have
had operations performed and the dis
ease has returned, also that in nearly
all of these cases he finds the condi
tions a great deal worse than before
the knife was used. He further states
that there is no need of resorting to
an operation, no use of applying burn
ing plasters, and torturing those al
ready weak and nervous from suffer
ing. In a profusely illustrated book
he shows how the disease is being
cured with a Combination of Oils caus
ing but little pain or inconvenience.

j SUFFERED 14 YEARS FROM PILES,
TETTERINE CURES THE CASE.
Bellaire, Mich., Nov. 19, 1908.
! Mr. J. T. Shuptrine, Savannah, Ga.
I Dear Sir:—About sixteen years ago I had
a case of itching piles. Like many others
I tried first one thing and then another un
til I had tried all the remedies 1 had
heard of. Some of them eased for a few
j days, then they got worse. They seemed
t to bother me more at night than any other
time—l could not lay in bed for five years
only on my back, and for weeks I never
lay down at all. They got so bad till al
times they caused my blood to rush to my
head and render me unconscious. I moved
up in northern Michigan three years ago
and the same old case followed me. Last
February I went Into the Economical Drug
| Store, on State street, in Chicago, and ask
ed the clerk to give me the best thing he
! had for my trouble. He sold me a box of
! Tetterine, but it smarted so when I put it
i on till I left it off and got a milder salve.
, I came back to my home and finally run
: out of all the other salves but Tetterine,
so I started using it again, but more light
i ly; at first I noticed it seemed to do me
good, and I did not use but half the box
I before I was entirely cured. That has been
five months now, and there is still no signs
of its reappearing. It seems so good to me
| that, after fourteen years suffering, I have
at last found a cure. Tetterine did it. It’s
the best thing In the world. Grady G. Wil
