“1 asked the New Year for sou e motto
sweet.
Some rule of life by which to guide my
feet,
I asked end pa tse. It answer soft and
low,
‘God’s will to know.’
Will knowledge then suffice New Year?
I cried;
But ere the question into silence died,
The answer tame; Nay this remember to
God’s will to do.
Once more I asked ‘Is there still more to
tell’
And once aga.n the anwer sweetly fell,
‘Yea his one thing all things above.
God's will to love.’’

Threatened Her Life.
Mias Ninette Porter, Braintree, Ver
mont, writes: “I have been cared by
Peruna.
“I had several hemorrhages of the
lungs. The doctors did not help me
much and would never have cured me.
“T saw a testimonial in a Peruna
almanac of a case similar to mine, and
I commenced using it.
“I was not able to wait on myself
when 1 began using it. I gained very
slowly at iirsl, but I. coaid see that it
was helping me.
“After I had taken it a while I com
menced to raise up a stringy, sticky
substance from my lungs. This grew
less and less in quantity as I continued
the treatment.
“I grow more fleshy than I had been
for a long time, and now I call myself
well.”
