SUNDAY MORNING.
™ Mrs. Tupman, a prominent lady Hf
of Richmond, Va., a great sufferer with
woman’s troubles, tells of her cure by
Lydia E, Pinkharr/s Vegetable Compound.
“Bear Mrs. Fink ham: For some years I suffered with backache,'
severe bearing-down pains, leucorrhoea, and falling of the womb. I
tried many remedies, but nothing gave any positive relief.
“I commenced taking Lydia E. Finklumt’s Vegetable Compound
in June, 1901. When I had taken the first half bottle, 1 felt a vast im
provement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel
like anew woman. When 1 commenced taking (he Vegetable Com
pound I felt ail worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous
collapse. I weighed only 98 pounds. Now I weigh 109§ pounds and
am improving every day. [ gladly testify to the benefits received.”—
Mrs. K. C. Tupman, 423 West 30th St., Richmond, Va.
When a medicine lias been successful in more than a million
oases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, “I do not
believe it would help me”?
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discour
aged, exhausted with eaeh day’s work. You have some derange
ment of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound will help you just as surely as it lias others.
Sirs. W. H. Pelham, Jr., 108 E. Baker St., Richmond, Va., says:
“Dear Mas. Pinkiiam:—l must say that Ido not believe there is any
female medicine to compare with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Coin-
Ci I return to you my heartfelt thanks for
our medicine lias done for me. Before
tho vegetable Compound I was so badly
uit 1 thought I could not live much
r. The little work I had to do was a
len to me. I suffered with irregular
struation and leueorrbcea, which caused
irritation of the parts. 1 looked like
ho had consumption, but I do not look
tat now, and I owe it all to your wondcr
’ took only six bottles, but it has made
me feel like anew person. I thank
God that there is such a female helper
l?o it, therefore, believed by all
women who are ill that Lydia K. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
is tho medicine they should take. It has stood the test of time,
and It has hundreds of thousands of cures to its credit. Women
should consider it.unwise to use any other medicine.
Mrs. Pinkhatn, whose address is Lynn, Mass., will answer cheer
fully and without cost all letters addressed to her by sick women.
Perhaps she has just the knowledge that will help your case
try her tp-day it costs nothing.

A SERMON FOR SUNDAY
AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE UPON THE
HOLY GHOST.
The Rev. Dr, .1. Wilbur Chapman Shows
How the Holy ill lost 1h the Christian’*
Helper IScyotifl All Others—ls tho Life
of tlie Chuicli.
New York City. The serm.vn here
furnished to the press is the most impres
sive one of a series which thr Rev. i)r. J.
Wilbur Chapman prepared diiic time ago
for the Bible Institute Colp.triage Associa
tion. It is entitled "The lloly Ghost in
His to the Church/’ and was
preached from the text: "And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should
be saved/' Acts 2: 47.
In the honest endeavor which we make
properly to live the Christian life and in
the end receive a reward from the hand o l
the Master, thereby not missing our
crown, the lfo/v Ghost beyond all others
is our helper. He is certainly to be count
ed as the director and leader of our church
life. We need expect no great outpouring
of the Holy Ghost so long a- His leader
ship is ignored, and without this high
spiritual atmosphere we may expect, as in
dividual.*:, no special victories.
On the day of Pentecost two great events
occurred; the first was the exaltation of
Jesus Christ at the right hand of the
Father—" This Jesus hath God raided up,
whereof we ait all witnesses” (Acts 2:
32); the other was the outpouring of the
Spirit, because de.uis had been raised up
and exalted. The point is that Christ as
our head had poured out upon Him the
Holy Ghost; thus receiving Him in trust
for the body; and it naturally follows that
what the head has received the members
of the body have a right to claim. Since
that day. in the plan of God. the Holy
Ghost has been the administrator of the
affairs of the church, and He is here to
make Christ real to every believer. If lie
had tarried with us in the Ik*/* and I had
claimed His presence. He would have been
denied to you; but now that He in present
in the Spirit, we may all have Him and
lay claim to His presence, and the Jove of
God may be shed abroad in our hearts iiy
the Holy Ghost. He is in a real sense the
vicar of Christ, and then* <. m be no other.
The Son of God is to-day at tho light band
of God. repi-o-iontj’ig Hie ©mn h, and the
Spirit of God ought to be enthroned and
exalted in the ©hmvh. representing the
risen Ghriat. He i- to rounsel her, to
guide her and to control her in a word.
Tic is to govern all things in tho church,
from the Vast things unto the ercateat.
The Scriptures arc evidence that He has
i message for the church. Jt is generally
believed that tho epistles to the seven
chinches in the Revelation contain the pro
phetic setting forth of the church's history
—its declines* and recoveri? its failure's
and returns, and it js believed by maty
that we have come to the Laodicean period
of history of the lad d.ivs of the church.
Seven times wo have the expression re
peated- ‘ He that hat h an ear. let him he ir
what the Spirit sriifb unto the churches."
It is to be rioted that this expression is
Used after each of the churches luid back
slidden. Ephesus had left her first love;
Smyrna was rich, and likely to be proud;
Vergamos was touched with the doctrine
of Balaam; Thvatira was inf]M©m od bv Je
zebel; Sardis had a name to live, and was
dead; Philadelphia had but little strength,
while Luodicen was neither hot nor cold.
1 he real cure for backsliding in the elmr. h
is that which comes to u - bv the Holy
Ghost of the revelation of God’s will and
the interpretation of God’s word.
T.
The church is a called-out body. Wo
were chosen in Him before IHe world’s
foundation, and wo ire elect according to
the foreknowledge of God, for thus *-aith
the Scripture, po&ns i$ in heaven direct
ing the work of the church, but the Hojv
Ghost is here carrying out the plan. This
plan extends to the minutest detail* of the
life of the church, lie lias ordained the
oliices we must have, and the kind of men
we must lay hold upon to till them: ,
Y\ iieivtore He -aiili. when He ascended up
on high, He led captivity captive, and gave
gkis uiito men. And Jfe gave some, apos
tles; and some, prophets; and some, evan
gOii.sls: and some, pastors and teachers;
lor the perfecting of saints, for tho work of
t he ministry, for tin.* educing oi the body
of Christ/’ Millies! ins ■!: S, H, 12. Th©
church is really tlie habitation of God.,
ilcar what the Scriptures have to say;
Lph. 2: 19 to 22 "Now therefore ye are
no more strangers and foreigners, but fel
low-citizens with the saints. aul of the
household of God; and are built upon llie
foundation oi the apostles and prophets,
•leans l hrist Himself being the c hief cor
neratvme; in whom all the building fitly
frame and together groweth unto a‘holy* teni-
Pit* in the Lord: in whom ye. also are
nuilded together for an habitation of God
through the Spirit. If He is dwelling in
us. we must lie careful of our church life,
tor we may grieve Him and quench Him
by the wav we live and work. Many
tilings are done to-day in the church which
may commend themselves to men, and yet
fall utterly snort oi the approval of God.
As an illustration, Peter, standing up with
Hie .120. spoke of the deparun* of Judas,
and declared that one uiu-t be chosen in
In-, stead. lV::ver was oflered. n vote v. :t.-
taken, anti .MuliltiiM cjeete'L but there
was no indication that tins eWiioit was
ever ratified by the Lord, for Matthias .it
Slice sinks nut of ih*. Two years a,he,
warn tiic Lord calls one to ii,l the vi
cancy, namely, cfiml of Ta-us. Paul
speaks thus of hint self: Gal. 1: 1 “Paul,
an apostle, not of men, neither bv man,
but by -resus Christ and God tlie Father
who raised Hint from the dead.”
11.
(be church was estabKuhcd bv aims and i
wonders. Acts 3: 1 to 4-"And wl.cn the
<1; 'V o( 1 entecost was fully eo.me tliev
were all with one accord in one place. And
suddenly there cattle a sound front heaven
as oi a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled
ail the house where they w ere S' ,: in,:.
And there appeared unto them < ..von

PV AnJ they were all Uded w.tlt the
Holy (ahost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the spirit gave them utter
ance. Hob. 2; 1 "God also bearing them
witness, both with signs and wonders, and
with divers miracles and gifts oi the Holv
Ghost, according to lies own will."
1 hero was no church in the Old Testa
ment. This is the opinion of many Bible
teachers, in Acts 2: 41, we read; “Then
-hej that gaidiv received His word were
baptized. and the same day there were
added unto them about 3000 souls.” . In
this text the words "unto them" are writ
ten mitalics, so that the original is, "there
uere added about 3000 .souls," But we
must add to when we add, so
in Acts 2: 4. we read: "And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should
be saved. ’ But there is a still better ex
planation. In Acts .j: 14. we read: "They
were added to the Lord."
This is Paul's conception of the church.
Const is the head and the church is His
body. \\ e arc being called out now from
the Gentile world. Every new soul won
for C heist comes in to •amplctc the body.
>ome day the last man win come in, and
ihe skies will brighten with the return of
the Lord.
It is this that gives one the passion for
soul-winning. It is this thought that fur
nishes the inspiration for the foreign mis
sionary. The church is a called-out bodv.
and tlie missionary is sent to Africa, to
China, to Japan, that he may work in the
fellowship ot tho Holy Ghost in leading
solus to Christ. God speed me day when
the last member of the bodv shall be
found!
TIL
The church is enlightened by the Spirit.
The Spirit is the breath or God in the
body of His church. If His rule is not fol
lowed it naturally results that His life is
•hut but. Thus it come* to be like a man
suffering from pneumonia—one unaccus
tomed to such scene* declares that what
the man needs is more air, but in point of
fact it i.s not more air he needs at all, but
more lung to be filled with air. We do
not want more of the Holy Ghost, but
the Holy Ghost ought to have more of the
church. And sometimes, because Hi- rule
is not followed. He in a measure withdraws
Himself, and allows the forms to stay, but
the power is departed. The oil is gone,
hue the lamp is there. There me churches
where prayer is offered, and the Bible
read, and church-going religiously kept up,
and there is positively not even the sem
blance of power. They arc described in
the words or Scripture as "having a name
to live, hut being dead." They remind
one of the guard found in the excavated
city of Pompeii. Hr stood with his hel
met and his armor on, and hi* bony linger
clasping his spear, and yet not living. It is
just the same with the efilircb.
A little thing at first may result in lo**
of power in the entire church. A wrong
financial policy might do it. A spirit of
criticism might accomplish it.
“There is an in*idiou disease which
slowly and secretly turns the vital organs
of the body to boil-. Jr. begins by ossify
ing little fragments of tissue here and
there. No medical skill can arrest its pro
gress. Nature ;m perverted from hey
healthy process of assimilating and nutri
tion to'the creation in th© system of noth
ing but bone. What should be life to mus
cle and nerve and sinew and arteries,
turns to solid anti li>elc* ■ bone. At length
the heart is reached and vital parts of it
become bane, and its beautiful work of
pulsation, by which life is sent in red
streams to the very tip* of the fingers,
ceases and death ensue-;. Such is the
moral induration which the sensibilities
of a soul .suffer, when long appealed to bv
the services of religion, to which it will
not yivc back a throb of responsive feel
ing.*'
TY.
If the church is >be governed l.v the
Spirit, every office-bearer in the church
should lie influenced hv Hie Holy Ghost.
Ministers should be filled. Fan! gives an
illustration of one phn*© of this truth:
Acts III: 912 • “Then Saul, (who also is
called Raul), filled with the Hole Ghost,
set bis eves on him. and said. O full of all
subtPity and ail mischief. thou child of
the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness,
wiit thou not cense to pervert, the right
ways of the Lord? And now, boh Jd. the
hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou
shaft he blind, not seeing the sun for a
season. And i nine'<l lately there foil on
him a mi.-, and a darkness, and he vent
about seeking some to lead him by the
hand. Then the denuty. when lie saw
wlmt Tva-i done, believed, being aston
ished at the doctrine of the Lord."
The Holy Ghost only fills the man whose
d©sire is to honor Chris;. Philosophy,
poetry, art. sociology, ethics, are well
enough in their plat©*. but their place is
in the pulpit. The Holy Ghost ha
pledged Himself to witness only to th©
sto r v of Jesus and th© resurrection. Paul
Meuydit this whole '-king ortt, and while
he. was schooled in all the learning of the
day, he said:
"YVe preach Gfii i- < irrifiod, unto ♦he
Jew* ;> rftUMifilmg lilo.k. . ui unto tho
Greek* foolishness. But unto them that
arc ■the power of God and
the wisdom of'God.”
Hater is another ilhm• -ation* \©ts 4: S .
“'•’hen Veter, with the Holy Ghost,
said unto them: Yc rulers of the people
and ©ldrr of Israel." Vds 11: U 16--
nd as I began In speak the Holy Ghot
fr'l on them, as on us m the

God in prrachiny than iVicr himself.-Take
tho sermon at Von teen. t. if you

vtm should ah\ "But is ibis all he said':"
f answer: “The words of Scripture are all
that th© Holy Ghost thouvht worthy or
record.” Veter's words would have* passed
a wav with his own generation. The word
of God abides forever.
Stephen furnishes an illustration of the
fact that to he tilled with the Holy Ghost
does not always mean humad success.
'ets G: 5 to K " \ml the sayiny pleaded
the whyp multitude, and they choae Ste
phen. a man full of fa\ih and of the Holy
Ghost, and and Vrochorus, and Xi
canor. and Timor, and Pnrmenas, and Ni

And the word of God inn-eased, and the

Stephen, full of faith and now©©, did crea*
wonders am! miracles among the people."
Vets 7• Vi--"But he. being full of the
Ho’y Glio.'t, looked, up steadfastly into
heaven :and saw the glory o; (••>d, and
Jesus standing on the right hand of
God.”’
One migot.h * filled with the Spirit, and
pass through the greatest disappointment
of his life, for Stephen Mas just as truly
tilled, although h© was “toned to death, as
Veter, th? preacher of Veniecost. God
might fill you and then test you. The
great guns which are used in the defense
of our country are always tested before
th v leave the arsenal.
The position of the minister is an exalt
ed one. k Veter 1: 12 ' Into whom it
w.vi revealed that not unto th©irwelvcs.
hut unto us they did minister th© things
which arc* now reported unto you by them
that have premhed the gospel unto you
with the Holy Ghot sent down from heav
en. which things the angels desire to look
into.”
'There is not an ancel in the skies to-day
hut who would leave his post o; honor to
take your place and mine in the preaching
of the ffOSTKd. The v-ositum is a divine
one: Acts '.V: 2s~ ' Take heed, therefore,
unto yo-.:rs*'*lvcv. and to all th' flock over
the which the Holy Ch©si hath made you
!\e r -aer-s. to / a t the church of God which
He hath purchased with His own blood/’
It greatly lurnittcs one's work to know
tha J we a v • re to do just what Jesus
would do if lie were in our ulnce. The
message of the man of Hod is inspired;
Malt. 10: 20 "For ir is not ye that speak,
bur the Spirit • f your Father which <*nouk
<th in you." Mack IS: !l>. 11- "And the
(rospel must firs* be rutblisbed amor.g all
nation*. Jb.it when they shall lead you
and deliver you up. lake no thought be
forehand what ye >hall speak, neither do
ye premeditate, but whatsoever shall he
.given you in that hour, that speak ye: for
it is not ye that .speak, hut the Holy
(•host/* 12: 12 "For the Holy
Ghost shall teach von in the same hour
what ye ought to say/'
The Holy Ghost never entourages idle
ness. We are not teaching the Fsson that
one n<'-1 simply or.cn his mouth and ex
pect the Lord to till ii; but the ideal posi
tion is for everyone to be so filled with the
message all the time that if he were called
io speak anv number of times during the
day he would always be sure that he had.
c. message from God. Notice what the
Serintures say: Rev. 1: 10- "I was in the
Spirit on the Lord’s day and heard be
hind me a great voice, as of a trumpet."
Rev. 4: 2—“And immediately I was in the
Spirit: and. behold, a thrdne was set in
heaven, and one sat. on the throne/’ ]f
one is saturated with His message, nnd is
in the Spirit, there will be no question ns
to his rower in the presentation of what
he has to say.
These conditions bavins resulted the re
sults are guaranteed: Mark IS: 15-18
‘And He said unto them. Go ye into all
the world, and urea eh the gospel to every
creature. He that beliereth and is bap
tized shall be saved; but he that beiieveth
not shall be damned. And these signs
shall follow them that believe: in My
name shall they cast out devils: they
shall speak with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents, .and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: thav
[ shall lav bands on the sW:. and tiioT shall
! recover." He!.. 2: 4-"Uod also beann-
I tiiem witness, both with signs and non
; ders. and with (liver* miracles and tut* or
i the Holy Ilhost, accovdins to His own
j will.” There is absolutely no limit to
’ God’s power: He can do all things.
, There is a very significant expression
! used in Scripture. Hev. 14: 13— Anri 1
i heard a voice from heaven saying nnto me.
Write. Hle&sed arc the dead which die ill
; t!ie Lord from henceforth. Yea. saith the

I The Rev. 1\ li. Meyer thinks that this vs
! to he interpreted as “Amen, saitii the
Spiritand that it is the Spirit s approv
, nl of what wo have don© in the name ot
i Christ. It will be a glad day for the church
when for every pastor’s work the ppint

every elder, deacon and trustee Me snail
sav again •‘Amen:’’ when the living of all
: the saints shall live - . nearly according to
1 God’s will tint at the close of each day
: th* spirit shall say “Amen and amep.
Rut the filling of the Holy Ghost is not
to he confined to those who are called
ministers of the gospel. Kvery deacon
ought to he filled: Acts C: 3, 4—"Where

Stiven all tend to further one's efforts, but
tin- f sis tent, untlaun-ed faithfulness to
the labor in hand, in the Very face of op
pos-.mn and hindrance and obstacles is
that which conquers. The character that
is developed by devotion to duty, m life’s
smallest undertakings, is being equipped
for glorious achievements. Therein i.

Prejudice.
Prejudice never reasons, but moves and

Arettirus, the hottest star of the
celestial bodies, gives us as much heat
as does a standard candle six miles
away. Tills fact was ascertained by
the radiometer—an instrument which
will show the amount of heat given off
by a man’s face 2000 feet away.
Replying to the more or less popular
theory that comets are simply swarms
of meteoric stones, a Fellow of the
Royal Astronomical Society recalls the
brilliancy—almost increased —of Arc
turns as it was seen in ISSS through
thousands of miles of the very nucleus
of Donati’s comet. The mist from a
frog pond would have blotted out the
star altogetner.
Chemists are discovering that there
are gases in tho composition or the at
mosphere other than those which have
long been recognized. There are be
sides argon and heliutfi, which have
been known for some time, neon, eryp
;~n and xenon. The cheraie relations
of these substance* are now being de
termined, and tiieir atomic weight va
rl-'s from that of helium, which is four,
uu to that of xenon, which is 128.
The radiations of radium have proved
to be of rare value in medieine. It is
found that a metallic screen interposed
between tho eye and a vial contain
ing radium in no way prevents the
healthy eye from seeing it. If the
I retina of a blind person be healthy, it
| will be affected by ratjium rays even
though the cornea be opaque to light
rays. Consequently the radiations from
radium can be used to discover whether
or not the retina of a blind person is
healthy.
It i.s announced that Professor
Marckwald, of the Berlin University,
has discovered anew element of ex
traordinary rndia-aetive energy. He
found it in uranium ore, from which
he separated it by an electrolytic pro
cess. It occurs in the minute propor
tion of one gramme per ton of ore.
The rays it emits are simile to those
of radium, but differ from the latter in
that they are almost completely ab
sorbed by paper and glass. A porcelain
tube charged by rubbing immediately
lowers its charge when :t minute par
ticle of the new element is brought
near it. Apparently no name has yet
been given to it.
llow the electric waves used in wire
less telegraphy follow the earth’s curv
ature is still an unsolved problem. E.
Lasher supposes that the waves run
aloug the surface of the earth, and
especially of tho sea. in the same man
ner that they follow a wire, and that
part of the electric energy enters the
earth's surface as part of it penetrates
the surface of the wire. A suggested
test of the theory is signaling between
two balloons, when the difficulty of
communication should increase with
the height. The electrical oscillations
being at right ingles to the wire or
earth's surface, another interesting ex
periment would be the sending of sig
nals up a precipice, using both horizon
tal and vertical autennae.
Jobs For Official
Now, the question of employing lions
in ill'.* Government service under civil
service regulations has come up for
official consideration, owing to a let
ter addressed to the Civil Service Coin
mission by an official of the United
States Geologhnl Survey,
If seems that hens arc necessary and
Indispensable assistants in certain
kinds of Government work, and there
is no reason why they should not he
duly classified, like charwomen, fe
male copyists and other Federal em
ployes of the gentler sex. There is no
question of President Roosevelt's au
thority to extend over them the blan
ket of file civil service under existing
law. and it is undeniable that certain
Important advantages would accrue
from the regularizing of the chicken
branch of public work.
For it should he understood that Uu
ci'' Sam utilizes a very great number
of hens' eggs in the course of a year.
It is most important that they should
Fe fresh, and that the supply of them
should be regular. The situation in
Ibis regard was clearly explained in
the letter written a few days ago by
the official above mentioned.
iho Government maintains a num
ber of photographic laboratories iu
’ ashington, all of which requfre regu
lar supplies of fresh eggs. These are
used in so-called “wet plate.”
Pacific Light For Bad Eyes.
One new reason why California’s
climate proves so beneficial to health
seekers from the East has recently
been set forth by a well-known physi
cian there. He says that the many
tourists who visit the “Land of Sun
shine" every year are suffering from
nervous prostration and other disor
ders. which have their origin in unsus
pected errors of vision, and that the
trip to the Pacific coast benefits them
by disclosing to them the cause of
their trouble.
Iho brilliant light of that sunny
••ountry immediately affects eyes which
have distorted refraction and the pa
tient at onee is moved to consult an
oculist. He relieves the strain on the
visual organs, and in so doing causes
the blight of a host of other evils which
hate been destroying peace and com
fort, headache, melancholia, sleepless
ness and incidentally a testy temper,
which ha'd been caused by these Ills
and others from which the invalid had
been suffering.
