PILGRIMAGE.
Though a pilgrim and a stranger,
Through this weary land I roam;
Ind my heart is bowed in sorrow,
With no place to call my home.
Yet I seek a better country,
Where no tears will dim the eye;
And I'll meet those gone before me,
Never more to say goodbye.
Oft with tears my eyes are streaming,
And my body bent, with care,
And my’ burdens are so heavy,
That it seems I cannot bear.
But I trust alone in Jesus,
Who will be my bosom friend ;
When all others here forsake me,
He’ll go with me to the end.
When my pilgrimage is ended,
And my weary life is o’er,
I will join my loved ones yonder
On that happy, blissful shore.
Throughout all the countless ages,
With our Lord to ever lie;
Reign as kings and priests forever,
Evermore, eternally.
Thomas d. lynn.

daughter and neice Thelma Johnston
Owens, whom Jesus called home Sept.

We had a precious treasure once,
She was our joy and pride ;
We loved her perhaps too well,
For soon she slept and died.
As we loved her so we miss her,

our business.
Therefore, it is but fitting to say that they are our
'IBhEI greatest asset —they are the greatest asset ANY prac
itioner can have—just as satisfied customers are the
greatest asset to ANY business institution.
m These men, women and children who have been re
stored to health at our hands are ever ready and
!c WILLING to praise the science that got them well,
which in many instances, was AFTER they had tried
OTHER methods and they had FAILED.
lllli These people suffered as YOU now suffer, and they
jllllll are GLAD to pass on the good word to others who
Ifw NEED health—who WANT health, but who do NOT
yet KNOW how t 0 get Thc y KNOW by actual ex
perience the great efficacy of scientific Chiropractic.
• We are ha PPy for this clientele that has regained
lost health. We are happy that they are now well and
strong and we know that they are happy that they
can extend words of HOPE to other sufferers—for in so doing they put further joy in
their hearts through the thought of helping despairing souls. What could bring great
er happiness?
So if you are sick of being sick—if you have given up hope—if you are resigned to
what you think is inevitable, face about, ask us to put you in touch with those who have
suffered as you now suffer, and let them tell you by word of mouth what CHIRO
PRACTIC has done for them. This we will be glad to do, and the happy folks we have
made well will be glad indeed to tell you of THEIR experience—real human interest
stories indeed.

LA FAYETTE, GA.
Five Years’ Practice in La Fayette
In our memory she is always near —
Loved, remembered, longed for always,
Bringing us many a silent tear.
She had a smile for everyone,
A heart as pure as gold;
To us who truly loved her,
Her nwmorj’ will never grow old.
We were so very happy when she was
with us —
Lonely and sad our hearts are today,
For the one we loved so very dearly
Has forever been taken away.
God needed another angel
To worship before His throne,
So He looked down from heaven
And called our darling Thelma home.
Written by her aunt,
MRS. G. R. QUINN.
