NO REDEMPTION BEYOND THE
GRAVE
Time is sw iftly passing awav and
will soon know us no more on earth.
How many, in the last ninety days,
have crossed the dark river and fjone
to that undiscovered country, from
whose bourne no traveler returns! As
we live, so must we die. There is no
redemption ^beyond the grave. How
is it with us today? Have we put on
the whole armor of Christ and ir,a e
our calling' and election sure? Are we
doing our whole duty as Christrians?
Do we let our light so shine that others,
seeing our good works, glorify our
father in Heaven?
Jesus commanded his desiples to go
and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost, teaching them to “ob
serve all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the
world.! ’
The same applies to everyone “who
has been redeemed by the blood of
Christ. There is work for us all to do.
Are we up and doing while it is day?
Night will soon overtake us and then
our work is done.
We are traveling from time to eter
nity. and must reap what we sow. Only
a few more days or years and we will
be called to render an account of our
stewardship in this world. Shall we
hear the good and grand applaudit,
“well done, thou good and faithful
servant, enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord.” The nearer we do our duty,
the nearer we will get to God.
“O sinner, remember, though ^fair he
life’s day,
There’s only one step to the tomb;
Thy life, like a vapor, will soon pass
away.
Then eotneth eternity’s gloom.
“To be lost in the night, in eternity’s
night,
lo sink, in despair and in woe.
But such is thy doom if thou turn from
the light,
God’s merry refusing' to know.
“On the edg-e of perdition now blindly
you stand,
Its tires, how fearful they gleam!
Ah, soon you will be, with the number
less dead,
Where Jesus can never redeem.
“O, eternity’s darkness! its gloom
doth affright:
No star beams of hope from on high.
No morning shall dawn on the gloom
with its light,
There cometh no sweet by (.and by.
“O, eternity's darkness now fulls on
the shore.
Its twilight begins to appear;
Soon there will be mercy, sweet mercy,
no more,
But darkness and death draweth
near." W. S. M.
April 1st. 1908.
Why They Fall.
Many fall down on sheep raising be^
cause they do not give enough atten
tion to the foundation stock. The
ewes must be strong enough and vig
orous. These are usually good milk
ers and they bring strong lambs.
Sheep are more financial than cattle
or hogs, and they need closer atten
tion.

THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.s St. Louis, Mo,
DIFFER AS TO “LOVE TAP.”
City Official Angry Over Property
Owner's Whack with Umbrella.
Wilmington, Del.—Is a whack over
the head with an umbrella a “love
tap?" Such is the question on which
Registrar John S. Grohe of the water
department and Henry F. Dure, one
| of the largest property owners of the
rity, disagree. Both men are more
| than 60 years old.
' Mr. Grohe says that Mr. Dure en
! to red the water department’s office
and, after asking “where everybody
was," hit him over the head with an
umbrella. Mr. Dure wanted to know
why the department had permitted the
pipes in his house to burst. Mr.
Grohe says he protested to .Mr. Dure
against the umbrella salutation, but
Mr. Dure replied that he “was not yet
through with him.” Mr. Grohe says
that the tap was so severe that he had
to consult a physician. He wants Mr
Dure to apologize.
“Why, I never thought anything
about the matter,” said Mr. Dure. ”1
did not hit hard enough to kill a fly.
I have the greatest regard for Mr.
Grohe, and am surprised that he
should have taken offense.”
Look for Head Lice.
Watch the little chicks for head
lice. This is the time of the year when
that pest thrives. When the bird is
moping around and dragging its
wings. It should not be doctored for
cholera till the attendant is sure that
there are no large lice on it. Three
lice can suck more vitality from tie
little chick, than all its food can ±

The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
>tant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. 1 he number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and® better service
. than any store in town.
