the key note of the race problem

piest man at ah weddings and the proud

of consumption, are cured by the right
treatment. Pe-ru-na, Dr, Hartman’s
great prescription, attacks catarrhal
diseases scientifically and cures them.
Dr. Hartman explains it fully in his
books which are mailed on application.
Here is a letter from Mrs. Harmening,
Mazo Manie, Wis., who is one of many
cured of consumption by Pe-ru-na.
, She says:
Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
Dear Sirs: —“I cannot praise your
remedy too highly. Last winter I had
la grippe and hemorrhage of the lungs
followed. All the doctors around here
told me I had to die of consumption.
Then 1 thought I would ask Dr. Hart
man for advice, which I did. He pre
scribed Pe-ru-na for me. and I took it
according to his directions and was
cored. 1 advise everybody that is
troubled with lung disease to take Dr.
Hartman s treatment. lam sure they
will not regret it if they do. 1 am now
enjoying good health, and can thank
1 Pe-ru-na for it." ..

“ Was taken with a bad cold

set in and finally terminated in
Consumption. Four Doctors gave
me up, saying I could live, but a
short time. I give myself up to my
Saviour, determined if I could not
stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my abseat ones above.
My husband was advised to get
Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Cough and Colds. I
gave it a trial, took in all eight

thank God I am saved and now a
well and healthy woman.” “Trial

The Influence of Sisters in the
Sabbath Schools.
Head before the Baptist Sunday School
Association at Lyerly.
True womanhood is one of the pur
est and best things under heaven.
Wherever you find a woman prop
erly developed, you find a power for
good, for it does not lie in worldly ac
complishments, but in Christian char
ter. It is more than worldly adorn
ment. Women are naturally more
loving and more religiously inclined
than men. This is the grace that
blesses their lives with such hallowed
influence. Every worthy Christian
woman makes the world wiser and
better. Such a woman has a great
work to do. To care for the home and
pity the poor is only a part of her work.
Her helping hand is trained to admin
ister cheerfully to the needy and desti
tute around her. Her heait is laden
with eomfort for the despondent and
is full of hope for the unfortunate, for
her own faith rests securely in the
“Rock of Ages.” She is true to her
Savior. Tlie world respects the influ
ence she exerts. Love and religion
are the ruling elements in the life of a
woman. A woman destitute of love
as a religious principle is necessarily
imperfect, far without the sacred in
fluence of divine love there will be
little sunshine and many shadows
across her pathway through the wick
ed world.
How many women use their influ
ence to advance the cause of the Sab
bath school! Why they can work in
many ways in the Sundaj’ schcol by
reading and teaching the Scriptures to
the children, singing and praying in
secret.
“If we cannot rouse the wicked,
With the judgment’s dread alarms
We can lead the little children,
To the Savior’s waiting arms.”
There is always some opening for
God’s love to manifest itself. If we
can do nothing more we can manifest
our devotion by our presence at Sab
bath school, and in many other ways
we can do more good than we imagine.
Then I regard it very important that
we as sisters, should exert our influ
ence for good as far as possible in
every direction.
So let us attend our Sabbath schools
regularly aol be ever ready with a
willing hand to do our part.
