A WOMAN’S STORY.
It Should Be of Interest to Every Think¬
ing Woman.
Women who reason well know that
no male physician can uuderstandingly
treat the complaint known as “ female
diseases,” for no man ever experienced
them.
This, Lydia E. Pinkham tanghtthem
twenty years ago, _
when site dis-
covered in her

for all those '
ailments pecu'
liar to the . £
sex. Many \
women have p
a fatal faith in ^
their physician, and not till they can
suffer no longer, will they think and
act for themselves.
The following testimony is straight
to the point, aud represents the ex¬
perience of hundreds of thousands of
now grateful women: “ For six years
I was a great sufferer from those in¬
ternal weaknesses so prevalent among
otir sex. After having received treat¬
ment from four physicians of our city,
and finding no relief whatever, I con¬
cluded to try Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and it has proved a boon to
mo. It can truly be called a “ Saviour
of Women.”— Mrs. B. A. Perham,

Gebazi w the of
to the Shunammite: “Is it well with
tneef Is it well with thy husband? Is it
well with the child?” On some faces I see
the mark of recent grief, but ail along the
track of tears I see the story of resurrection
and reunion when all tears are done: the
d^cp plowing of the keel, followed by the
flash of the phosphorescence. Now that I
have asked you in regard to your welfare,
thank von naturally ask how I am. Very well,
you. Whether it was the bracing air
of the mountains, or a bath in the surf of
Long Island beach, or whether it is the joy
of standing in this great group of
1 1 carted friends, or whether it is a new ap-
predation of the goodness of God, I can not
tell. 1 simply know I am happy.
It was said that John Moffatt, the great
Methodist preacher, occasionally got fast in
his sermon, and to extricate himself would
cry “Hallelujah!” I am in no such prediea-
meat to-day, ejaculation. but I am full of the same rfiap-
sodie Starting out this morn-
ing on a new ecclesiastical year, I want to
give you the keynote of my next twelve-
months’ ministry. I want to set it to the
tunes of “Antioch,” “Ariel” and “Corona-
tiou.’ I want to put a new trumpet stop
into my sermons. We do wrong if we allow
our personal sorrows to interfere with the
glorious fact that the Kingdom is coming,
We are wicked if we allow apprehension of
National disaster to put down our faith in
God and the mission of our American peo-
pie. The God who hath been on the side of
this Nation since the 4th of July, 1776, will
see to it that this Nation shall not commit
suicide on November a, 1896. By the time
the unparalleled harvests of this summer get
dowu to the sea-board, we shall be standing
in a sunburst of National prosperity that will
paralyze the pessimists, who by their evil
prophesies are blaspheming the God who
hath blest this Nation as He hath blest no
other.
In all our Christian work you and I want
more of the element of gladness. No man
had a right to say that Christ never laughed.
Do you suppose that He was glum at the
wedding in Cana of Galilee? Do you sup-
pose that Christ was unresponsive when the
children clambered over His knee and
shoulder at His own invitation? Do you
suppose that the Evangelist meant nothing
wheu he said of Christ: “He rejoiced in
spirit?” Do you believe tkat the Divine
Christ who pours all the waters over the
rocks at Vernal Falls, Yosemite, does not
believe in the sparkle and gallop and tumul-
tuous I joy and rushing raptures of human
life? believe not only that the morning
laughs, and that the mountains laugh, and
that the seas laugh, and that the cascades
laugh, but that Christ laughed. Moreover,
the outlook of the world ought to stir us to
gladness.
ing Astronomers them disturbed’many people by tell-
that there was danger of stellar
collision. We were told by these astrono-
mers that there are worlds coming very near
together, and that we shall have plagues and
wars and tumults and perhaps the world’s
destruction. Do not be scared. If you have
ever stood at a railroad centre, whore ten or
twenty or thirty rail tracks cross each other,
and seen that by the movement of the switch
one or two inches, the train shoots this way
and that, without colliding, then you may
understand how fifty worlds may come with-
in an inch of disaster, aud that inch be
as good as a million miles. If
a human switch-tender can shoot the trains
this way and that without harm, cannot the
hand that for thousands of years has upheld
the universe, keep our little world out of
harm’s way? Christian geologists tell us
that this world was millions of years in
building. Well, now, I do not think God
would take millions of years to build a house
which was to last only six thousand years,

The sun rose this morning at about 6
o’clock, and I think that is just about the
hour in the world's history, “The day is at
hand.” The first ray of the dawn I see in
the gradual substitution of diplomatic skill
for human butchery. Withinthe last twenty-
five years there have been international dif-
fercnees which would have brought a shock
of arms in any other day, but which were
peacefully adjusted, the pen taking the place
of the sword. The Venezue,an controversy
iu any other age of the world would have
brought shock of arms, but now is being so
quietly adjusted settled. that no one knows just how
it is being
The Alabama would question in any other age of
the world have caused war between
the United States aud England. How was
it settled? By men-of-war off the Narrows,
or off the Mersey? No. A few wise men got

matter over, and telegtaphed settled.” to Washington

Arbitration instead of battle.
So the quarrel about the Canadian flish-
erles in any other age would have caused
war between the United States and England,
So the Samoan controversy in any other age
would have brought Germany and the
United States into bloody collision. But
all is settled. Arbitration instead of battle,

' of her history? The Zulu war. Down with
the sword and up with the treaty.
We in this country might better have set-
tied our sectional difficulties by arbitration
than by the trial of the sword. Philan-
thropy said to the North: “Paydown a cer-
tain amount of money for the purchase of
the slaves, and let all those born after a cer-
tain time be born free.” Philanthropy said
to the South: “You sell your slaves, aud get
rid of this great National contest and trou-

Indian laud, and who, perhaps, had »>een in more
wars than any other officer, and who
had been wounded a^ain and again m behalf
of our Government in battle against the
dians, told me that all the wars that had
ever occurred between Indians and white
men had been provoked by white men, and
that there was no exception to the rule,
While we are arbitrating with Christian Na-
lions let us toward barbarians carry
selves in a manner unprovocative pf con-
test.
Let me put myself in their place: I in-
herit a large estats, and the waters are rich
with flsb. and the woods are songful with
golden. birds, and my cornfields are silken and
Here is my sister'o grave. Out
yonder, under the large tree, my father died,
An invader comes, and proposes to drive me
off and take possession of my property. He
crowds me back, he crowds me on, and
crowds me into a closer corner, until, after
a while, I say: "Stand back, don’t crowd
me any more, or I’ll strike. What right have
you to come here and drive me off my prem-
ises/ i got this farm from my father and lie
got it from his father. What right have you
to come here ami molest rue?” You
ly say: “Oh. I know more than you do. I
belong to a higher civilization. I cut my
hair shorter than you do. I could put
this ground to a great deal better use
than you do.” And you keep crowding me
back and crowding me on into the closer
corner and closer corner, until one day I
look around upon my suffering family, and
fired by their hardships I hew you in twain,
Forthwith all the world comes to your fu-
ueral to pronounce ettlogium, comes to my
execution to anathematize me. You are the
States hero, I am the culprit. Behold the United
Government and the North American
Indian. The red man ha3 stood more
wrongs than I would, or you. We would
have struck sooner, deeper. That which
is right in defence of a Washington home
is right in defence of a home on top
of the Sierra Nevada. Before this dwindling
red race dies completely out, I wish that
this generation might by common justice
alone for the inhumanity of its predecessors,
In the day of God’s judgment, I would
rather be a blood-smeared Modoc than a
swindling United States officer on an Indian
reservation! One was a barbarian and a
savage, and never pretended to be anything
but a barbarian and a savage. The other
pretended to be a representative of a Chris-
tian Nation. Notwithstanding all this, the
general disgust with war and the substitu-
tiou of diplomatic skill for the glittering
edge of keen steel is a sign unmistakable
that “the day is at hand.”
I find another ray of dawn in the com-
pression of the world’s distances. What a
slow, snail-like, almost impossible thing
would have been the world’s rectification
with fourteen hundred millions of popula-
tion and no facial means of communication:
but now. through telegraphy for the eye and
telephonic intimacy for the ear, and through
steamboating and railroading, the twenty-
five thousand mites of the world’s cireum-
ference are shriveling up into insignifaut
brevity! Hong Kong is nearer New York
than a few years ago New Haven was; Bom-
bay, Moscow, Madras, Melbourne, within
speaking distance. Purchase a telegraphic
chart, and the by the blue lines see the tele
graphs ot land, and by the red lines the
cables under the ocean. You see what op-
portunity this is going to give for the final
movements of Christianity, A fortress may
be months or years in building, but after it
is constructed it may do all its work in twen-
ty minutes. Christianity has been planting
its batteries for nineteen centuries, and may
go on m the work through other centuries;
but when those batteries are thoroughly
planted, do those fortresses are fully built, they
may all their work in twenty-four hours,
Nations—many Suppose Christ should descend on the
expect that Christ will come
among the Nations personally—suppose that
to-morrow morning the Son of God from a
hovering cloud should descend upon these
cities. Should not thatjfactlbe known all the
world over in twenty-four hours? Suppose
Heshould present His Gospel in a fewwords,
saying: “I am the Son of God; I came to
pardon all your sins and to heal all your sor-
row; to prove that I am a supernatural
being, I have just descended from the clouds,
Do you believe Me, and do you believe M”
now?” Why. all the telegraph stations of
the earth would be crowded as none of them
were ever crowded just alter a shipwreck. I
tell you all those things to show you it is not
among prchiihilitiss the impossibilities or even the im-
Oorist will conc[vmr t .16
whole earth, and do it instanter, when the
| time comes.
There are foretokemngs in . the air. Some-
thing great is going to happen. Ido not
think that Jupiter is going to run us down,
or that the axle of tne world is going to
break; but I mean something great for the
world’s blessing and not for the world’s
damage is going to happen, I think thi-*
world has had it hard enough. Enough, the
famines and plagues. Enough, the Asiatic
choleras. Enongh, the wars. Enough, the
shipwrecks. Enough, the conflagrations. I
think our world could stand right well a
procession of prosperities and triumphs.
Better be on the lookout. Bettor have your
observatories open toward the heavens, and
the lenses or your most powerful telescopes
well polished. Better have all your Leyden
jars ready for some new pulsation of mighty
influence. Better have new fonts of type in
ing your printing offices to set up some astound-
good news. Better have some new ban-
ner. that has never been carried, ready for
sudden processions. Better have the bells
iu your church tower well hung, and rope
within reach, that you may ring out the
marriage of the King’s Son. Cleanse all
your court houses, for Let the all Judge of all the
earth may appear. your legislative
halls be gilded, for the great Lawgiver may
be about to come. Drive off the thrones of
depotism all the occupants, for the King of
heaven and earth may be about to reign.
The darkness of the night is blooming and
whitening into the lilies of morning clouds,
aud the lilies reddening into the roses of
stronger day—fit garlands, whether white
or red, for Him on whose head are many
crowns. “The day is at hand.”
One more ray of the dawn I see in facts
chronological and mathematical. Come,
now, do not let us Jo another stroke of work
until we have settled one matter. What is
going to be the final issue of this great con-
test between sin and righteousness? Which
is going to prove himself the stronger, God
or Diabolus? Is this world going to be all
garden or all desert? Now let us have that
matter settled, If we believe Isaiah, and
Ezekiel, and Hosea, and Micab, and 3Ialaohi,
and Johu, and Peter, and Paul, and the Lord
Himself, garden. we But believe that it is going to be all
let us have it settlod. Let us
know whether we are working on toward a
success or toward a dead failure. If there
is a child in your house sick, and you are
sure he is going to get well, you sympathize
with present pains, but all tne foreboding is
gone.
Now. I want to know whether we are com-
ing on toward dismay, darkness and defeat,
or on toward light and blessedness. l*ou and
I believe the latter, and if so every year we
spend is ohe year subtracted from the
world's woe. and every event that passes,
whether bright or dark, brings us one event
that nearer inexorable a happy consummation, and by all
is I in chronology and mathe-
matics. commend you to good cheer and
courage. If there is anything it arith-
metic. if you subtract two from five and
; leave three, then by everyrolling sun we are
coming on toward a magnificent terminus,
Then every winter passed is one severity
less for our poor world. Then every sum-
rner gone by brings us nearer unfading ar-
j borescence. Pat your algebra down on the
top of it* your Bible and rejoice.
If is nearer morning at three o’clock
than it is at two, it is nearer morning at four
i o’clock than it is at three, then we are
j 1 nearer God’s clock the dawn of the world slowly, s deliverance. but
seems to go very the
pendulum swings and the hands move, and
it will yet strike noon. The sun and the
moon it odd stid once: they will never stand
still again until they stop forever. If you
believe arithmetic as well as your Bible, you
must believe we are nearer the dawn. “The
day is at band.”
There l* a class of phenomena which
triages me thins that the spiritual and
heavenly world may. h ter a while, mate a
demonstration iu this world which will
bring ail mortal an i spiritual things to a
climax. Now. I am no spiritualist; but
every intelligent man has noticed that
there are strange and mysterious things
which indicate to him tnat perhaps the
spiritual world i* not so far off as some-
times we conjecture, an I that after awhile,
from the spiritual and heavenly world
there may be a demonstration upon our
world for its betterment. We call itmag-
netism, or we call it mesmerism, or we call
it electricity, because we want some terra
to cover up our ignorauce. I do not know
what it is. I n-ver heard an audible voice
from the other world. I am persuaded of
this, however: That the veil between this
world and the next is getting thinner and
thinner, and that perhaps after awhile, at
the call of God—not at the call of the Dav-
euport Brothers, or Andrew Jackson Davis—
some of the old Scriptural warriors, some of
Joshua, the spirits of oth»*r days mighty for God—a
or a Caleb, or a David, or a Paul—
mav come down and help us in the battle
against unrighteousness. Ob, how l would
like to have them here—him of the Red Sea.
him of the valley of Ajalou, him of Mars’
Hill! English history says that Robert O'.ay-
ton, of the English cavalry, at the close of
the war bought up all the old cavalry horses
lest they should be turned out to drudgery
and hard work, and bought a piece of ground
at Knavestnire Heath and turned out these
old war-horses into the thickest an 1 richest
pasture to spend the resit of their days as
compensation for what they had done in
other days. One day a thunderstorm came
up and these war-horses mistook
the thunder of the skies for the
thunder of battle—and they wheeled into
line—no riders on their backs—they wheeled
into line reaav for the fray. And I doubt
battle me whether, when the last thunder of this
for God and truth goes booming
through the heavens, the old Scriptural war-
riors can keep their places on their thrones.
Methinks they will spring into the fight and
exchange crown for helmet, the palm
branch for weapon, and come down out of
the King’s galleries into the arena, crying:
“Make room! I must fight in this great
Armageddon.” The old war horses mingling
in the fight.
Beloved people, I preach this sermon be-
cause I want you to toil with the sunlight in
your faces. 1 want you old men to under¬
stand before you die that all the work you
did for God while yet your ear was alert and
your foot fleet is going to be counted up in
the final victories. I want all these younger
people to understand, that when they toil
ior God they always win the day, that all
prayers are answered aud all Christian work
is in some way effectual, and that the tide is
setting in the right direction, and that all
heaven is on our side-saintly, cherubic,
archangelic, doxology omnipotent, chariot and throne,
and procession, principalities and
dominion, feet, Fe who had the moon under His
and all the armies of heaven on white
horses.
Brother! brother! all I am afraid of is, not
that Christ will lose the battle, but that yon
and I will not get into it quick enough to do
something worthy of our blood bought im-
mortality. O. Christ, how shall I meet Thee,
Thou of the scarred brow and the scarred
baek and the scarred hand and the scarred
foot and the scarred breast, if I have no scars
or wounds gotten in Thy service? It shall
not be so. I step out to-day in front of the
battle. Come on, ye foes of God, I dare you
to the combat! Come on, with pens dipped
in maligancy. Come on with tongues forked
and viperine. Come on with types soaked
in seum of the eternal pit. I defy you! Come
on! I bare my brow, £ uncover my heart,
Strike! I can not see my Lord until I have
been hurt for Christ. If* we do not suffer
with Him on earth, we can not be glorified
with Him in heaven. Take good heart. On!
On! On! See! the skies have brightened!
See! the hour is about to come. Pick out all
the cheeriest of,the anthems. Let the or-
chestra string tlioir best instruments, “The
night is far spent, the day is at hand.”

of it he kept it. The most valuable deposit
of manganese ever uncovered in the country

MITTAL FIRE INSURANCE
And Its Many important Advantages
(Atlanta Corttitotioc, Sapt. 2 j, 1833.)
Nearly tw > hundred years fgo a f-w property
owners formed the first insurance association
of th. ,»4 by .^rteinp to "chip to- „,a
share rqually any lo>» by fire which might be
suffered by one of their number. Toe ina-
chicory of fire insurance at that time was in a
rerv rerj midp crude stst*. state. hn* bu tli».nks ti&nhs to the >n brRu u of
, .
man, since that time the improvement in the
plan of protection against fire has been iu
keeping with the wonderful advancement of
the timet ia all branches. Today we have, in
the Manufacturers’ Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of our city aud state, the perfection
of fire insurance, combining, as this oompanv
do’s, the security and stability of the stock
company with the liberality of the mutual
company. Their plan is indeed the most equi¬
table to all to be found today. This company
was chartered by a special act of the Georgia
legislature in the year 1883, and by that body
and at that time was granted privileges which
cannot be duplicated at the present time.
The company’s home office is in this city and
they are pleasantly domiciled at No. 19 South
Broad. Mr. J. Charles Dayton, who is known
throughout the state of Georgia as an able
financier and a conservative business man, is
the president of the company. He is also
cashier of the State Savings bank and promi¬
nently connected withother solid institutions
which mark the growth of the city of At-
lania and state of Georgia. 'Ihe vice presi¬
dent of the Manufacturers’ Mutual Insurance
Company is Hon. Thomas B. Felder, Jr., than
whom there is no better known and better
liked gentleman in the state. He is of one of
our prominent law firms, that of Anderson,
Felder & Davis, and will represent the county
of Fulton at the next session of the legisla¬
ture of Georgia, he having lead the ticket in
the face of strong opposition at the last elec¬
tion for representative from Fulton. This is
in strong evidence of his popularity and of
the esteem and confidence reposed in him by
the citizens of his county, and throughout the
state he is honored and esteemed by all who
know him.
The active management of the Manufac¬
turers’ Mutual Insurance Company is iu the
hands of Mr. Peyton Douglas, who was the
prime mover in the organization of the com¬
pany and who since its organization has held
the position of secretary and general man¬
ager. Mr. Douglas has made a life study of
the insurance business in all its details, and is
as well posted on that subject as any man in
the state. He started in the insurance busi¬
ness many years ago, being first connected
with the stock companies, but realizing that
mutuality, with proper safeguards, was the
truer principle of insurance, he organized
and has put in operation the Manufacturers’
Mutual Insurance Company. He was raised
in our midst and has the confidence of those
who know him and his friends are legion. In
Mr. F. H. Cathcart, the treasurer of the com¬
pany, we liave another practical insurance
man. Mr. Cathcart came here from Balti¬
more several years ago and up to the organ¬
ization of the Manufacturers’ Mutual he was
prominently connected with one of the
largest general agencies in the south. Since
coming to Atlanta he has taken a prominent
stand among the business men of our city and
state, and he stands today one of her most
progressive citizens. The directors of the
company are all men of integrity and ability
and in their hands the Manufacturers’ Mu¬
tual is marching rapidly along the road to
sure success. The prominent features dis¬
tinguishing the Manufacturers’ Mutual ln-
surance Company their from other mutual com¬
panies is guarantee fund of $100,000,
backed by a bond of that amount secured by
The Ins and Outs of It.
If you get best wear out of a coat, best work must
have gone into it. You can’t get good bread out of
poor flour.
Moral: You can’t get the best out of anything, unless
the best is in it; and the best has to be put in before it
can be taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those
sarsaparillas with a big “ best ” on the bottle, “ Tell us
what’s put in you and we’ll decide for ourselves about
the best.” That’s fair. But these modest sarsaparillas
say: “OhI we can’t tell. It’s a secret. Have faith in
the label.” . . . Stop! There’s one exception; one sar¬
saparilla that has no secret to hide. It’s Ayer’s. If you
want to know what goes into Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, ask
your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can
satisfy yourself that you get the best of the sarsaparilla
argument when you get Ayer’s.
Any doubt left? Get the “ Curebook."
It kills doubts but cures doubters.
