Blessed Is The Ilian Thai lindurcs Temptation
Wkittkn For Thk Journal 1 tv Faoan Cosskv.
Through our own experience we
know that temptations come to all
men with their seductive and al
luring influences and tend to turn
vs from the right. Manifold are
these temptations that seek to turn
vs from duty and from hod. They
present themselves in varied forms,
answering every activity of man.
They approach us from within in
the form of evil thoughts, feelings,
passions and desires. The foe
lurks within the human heart, and j
iti the guise of rightful activity
lures the soul irom (iod.
Temptations approach us from
without, holding forth the promise
of ease and pleasure, positions and
power.
It holds before the dazzled eye the (
bubble that glitters like gold. It
pomises to give that which it does
not possess. It makes the wrong
appear as right, the false as true,
the evil as good. It clothes the
serpent in gold dust to make it ap*
jiear less loathesome and less harm
ful.
But the serpent's bite is no less
poisonous because it coils in gold
dust. The wolf is no less a wolf
because in sheep s clothing. Kvil
is evil, no matter in what garb it
appears, or what robe it wears to
hide its vileness. The devil in the
garb of a saint is a devil still.

although it has a bar. But
•'It is a bnr to Heaven, a door to hell.
Whoever named it 'named it well;
A baj to manliness and wealth;
A door to want and broken health:
A bar to honor, pride and tame;
A door to sin and grief and shame;
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer.
A door to Darkness and despair;
A bar to honored, useful life.
A door to broiling, senseless strife:
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every drunkard’s grave;
A bar to joy that home imparts.
A door to tears and aching hearts:
j\ bar to Heaven, a door to hell.
Whoever named it. named it well.
« * * *
Think well before you enter there.
Weigh well the heavy cost.
Think of your home and family,
Before you are forever lost.
Think of a God to guide you,
And let this he your praver.
If he were here amot g us
Would .Fesus enter there?
Ye are tempted to enter the ball room,
Where light fantastic feet
Are gliding swift and nimble
Tile music’s charms to greet.
You see t he whirl of excitement
And drink the magic breath
That your system poisons,
And leads you down to death.
Ye justify your act ions,
Ye claim a bible story
lias given you consent.
But stop your life is passing
Beyond this pomp and glare.
And ask yourself this question
Would Jesus enter there?
But what shall we do in the
presence of temptations so mani
fold *. Take a stand against them.
Have nothing to do with any evil
thing. Keep on the armor which
our great Captain provides.
We resist temptation by being
absorbed in doing good. \\ e shut
out the w rong by doing the right.
Idle resistance holds within itself
the possibility of yielding. If we
are busied in the work of < >od. the
evil one will have no power over
us.
When Neheraiah, after the re
turn from the Babylonian exile,
began to rebuild the walls of old
Jerusalem the envious rulers
roundabout mocked and scoffed at
Ids feeble efforts, but Nehemiah
prayed and worked on. When
they saw the walls rising about the
city, they, out of evil design, ask
ed him to meet t&em in the^ plain
of Amo, but he answered, “l am
doing a great work, so that 1 can
not come down. He was not to
bo overcome, because he busied
himself in the one work (iod hail
given him to do. Let us get so
busy in (rod's work that we will
not yield to the trilling things of
the world.
Why is it that the germs of ma
laria are not found in the mountain
tops' They cannot rise above the
marshes of the watery valley, (to
up into the mountain top of (iod,
and the infection of evil will not
reach you. It cannot rise to that
height. Live in the spirit of
Christ, and you will dwell in a
moral region, high above the lurk
ing temptations that infect the
lower lands of life.
The safeguards against ail temp
tation is found in the attraction of
righteousness and duty to (iod,
which makes divine music in the.
soul. The music of Heaven is
grander than the music of earth,
and as we listen to the celestial
harmonies the earthly music will
have no charm for us. As we live
in the mountain top of Hod's
presence the evil one will have no
power over us.
COW FOR SALE.
Owing to ill health, 1 will sell at
my residence in township l!>.
ratine Id, according to the govern
ment survey, one plush raspberry
cow, aged s years. She is of un
doubted courage and gives milk
frequently. To a man who does
not fear death in any form she
would be a great boon. She is
very much attached to her present
home with a stay chain, but she
will be sold to any one who will
treat her right. She is one-fourth
short horn and three-fourths hy
ena. I will also throw in a double
barrel shotgun, which goes with
her. In May she usually goes
away for a week or two and re
turns with a tall red calf with
wobbly legs. Her name is Spot.
I would rather sell her to a non
resident. \Y. J. Tit a vis.

KIDNEY DISEASES 8V£3BI£
When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons aie carried by the
circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs. This causes heart
trouble stomach trouble, sluggish liver and a host of other ills, all due to deranged Kidneys.
foleyskidkeyCure
corrects irregularities and cures Kidney and Bladder diseases in every torm, tones up tne
CURED of Bright's disease* wh°le system and the diseases that have
resulted from disordered Kidneys disappear,
because the cause has been removed. Com
mence taking FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE
at the first sign of danger. Do not risk
having Bright’s Disease or Diabetes.
Mr. Robert G. Burke, Elnora. Saratoga Co.. N. Y., writes: —I am glad to have oppor
tunity of telling what magnificent results I have had from using r OLLY 3
CURE after having tried other advertised medicines and several physicians. Before 1 began
it I had to get up from is to ao times each night to relieve my bladder. I was all bloated up
with dropsy and my eyesight was ao impaired that 1 could acarcely see one of my family
across the room. In fact, I was so badly used up that I had given up hope of living when l
was urged by a friend to try FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE. One 50-cent bottle worked won
ders and before 1 had taken the third bottle the superfluous flesh had gone, as well as all
other symptome of Kidney trouble. My friends were surprised that I was cured, as they
all thought I was going to die. Every few days some one comes from miles away to learn
the name of the wonderful medicine that cured me of Bright's Disease, and not one that
has tried it has failed to be benefited.
