Vienna.— Everybody does his or her for the endangered fatherland. •The poor woman on her way to fitcUw.contributes her mite to the collection boxes. The rich women open their parlors, bedrooms and to the wounded officers and soldiers. Not only do the women of Anstra, Prance, England, Germany gaffer from war's depredations, but the women in America are everyday suffering from the many ills that women sre heir to.

The diseases which weaken and torment women, may in almost all imw be cared by tb,e use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, heals inflammation and cures weaknesses.

REV. HARPER'S SERMON.

Speaks Both Morning and Evening at First Methodist Church. Rffl', i. B. Harper took his sermon topic from the recent conspiracy trials in Indianapolis Sunday evening. He said: "Men meditating crime should reflect that the consequences of their g^iilt will fall upon others. Let us take heart that at last the entrencments of political fraud and misgoverniuent in Terre Haute have been leveled to the ground. But let us not be too sanguine or imagine the tight is ended. "We must see to it that the old machine is not replaced by a new and equally corrupt political organization. Let the best citizenship of all parties stand together for a new era of good government and business prosperity in Terre Haute."

At the morning hour Mr. Horper delivered a sermon on "The Foolishness of Preaching." Taking for his text "It was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe," Mr. Harper said: "Not the preaching of foolishness but the foolishness of preaching is God's appointed way of saving the world. The preacher whose ambition is to build up a sermon to be praised as a literary masterpiece is likely to preach a deal of foolishness. It Is all right to begin with Goethe, but the right kind of preaching must end with Christ. Such is the preaching the world needs, both from the pulpit and from the pew.

CHRISTIANS MUST NOT BE COWARDS- WRICK!

Montrose Pastor Takes Words of St. Paul As Topic for Strong Sermon.

Rev. Manfred C. Wright, pastor of the Montrose M. 10. rhureh, delivered a strong sermon Sunday morning, taking as his text "Fight the Good Flight of Faith 1 have fought the God Fight." He said: "Paul had fought for a prize, but not in ilstic fashion. He had witnessed the Epheslan games, gladitorial combats, the brutality of the Colliseum, the orgies of a Roman holiday. While in prison the roar of Wild beats, the cries of dying gladiators, the shout of bloodinflamed multitudes had come to his ears across the hills of Rome. Not for a moment did he countenance the beastiliness of pugilism. But he was a fighter, and the prize he won was the immortal crown of righteousness. In his body he bore the scars of not one but many battles.. '•What Paul is driving at is that the christian life is a figrhting proposition. It does not belong to the coward. Occasionally it may call for muscular combat with the enemies of God. But for the most part it calls for a higher prowess. Manhood is not to be measured by the girth of the thigh, but of the brain, or. better still, of the heart. The larger courage required is moral and spiritual, the physical has place. The Christian life calls for men of blood, and iron, virile, strong, manly men, who when the battle is over can say: 'I have fought a good fight.' "It calls for high, stalwart, christian pugnacity. And the knockout blow needed in some quarters is that of stabbing the fallacy that the christian life is for the sissy, the mollycoddle, or weak women. Jesus Christ did not so represent the life:- He said the Kingdom of Ood suffereth violence, and the violent take by force. He talked about agonizing to enter the straight gate. He Himself was the strongest, bravest man that ever lived. Nor did any word of Paul's ever give us other than a masculine view of Christianity. Today the masculine conception of religion needs to be injected into the minds of some men: that there are evils to be abolished, wrongs to be righted, causes to be championed, souls to be defended, truth to be supported, institutions to be protected—all calling for the manliest there is within us. "The fight must be fought out eaph for himself. It is not of one round, or two or three. No sooner does one gain a victory than up comes another challenger. There is a succession of encounters with the world the flesh and the devil, and no sooner does one recover from one jolt than he has to prepare for another onslaught of the enemy. "To be a winner in the fight one must keep in training. Athletics teaches the impossibility of getting back to full strength after lapses in training. No man can let down in moral earnestness and spiritual stamina and expect to get back for splendid victory when the crisis comes. A man must keep in moral training, he temperate in all things, keep his body under, so that when the fight is on hfe will not beat around blindly in the air but will be able to deliver effectually knock-out-bows. "Paul was a prize-fighter, but not a pugilist the prize he fought for and won was the fadeless crown. Let us accept life's challenge and be among the valiant wrestlers who win for Christ the victory and gain from Him the crown."

TRIAL FURNISHES TOPIC.

Rev. Everett Says Conspiracy Cases Provide Lesson for City. "Lessons from the Federal Court," was the sermon topic of Rev. T. J. Everett of the Mattox M. E. church Sunday evening. Righteousness had been vindicated by the conspiracy trial, he said. Spea.king from the text, "Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished but the seed of righteousness shall be delivered, he said: "The teachings of the text hav-e had vivid illustration in the recent proceedings of the federal court at Indianapolis. The police may well ponder the lessons which those proceedings suggest. "Lesson the first—That corrupt political conspiracies must come to an end to the discomfiture of all who engage in them. Let. all men, and especitlly young men, tempted to engage in corrupt practices in politics

and business take warning! The way of the transgressor is hard. "Lesson the second—That the deliverance of the righteous and their children should follow the overthrow and punishment of conspirators. The stale is not vindictive. It proceeds against evil doers for the good of all the people. Terre Haute has now its opportunity for good government—will It seize that opportunity? It may be difficult for good citizens to llnd an entirely satisfactory plan for united action—but almost anything Is better than inaction. There is no profit In sin. There la only disgrace and punishment against the sinner. The church does not rejoice In the punishment of the criminal, but ratheT In the prevention of crime. It would have all men forsake sin and prepare to render an account in that court from whose decisions no appeal can b« taken!"

REVIVAL 8ERVICE3 END.

Rev. Marlon C. Bishop Brings Two Week*' 8erle« to Clo«e. The two weeks' revival services which have been conducted by Rev. M. C. Bishop at the Grace Methodist church closed Sunday evening. Rev. Bishop took for the text of his sermon, "Son, remember the words Abraham answered back to the rich man." Following the sermon M'rs. Bishop sang "Time Enough Yet."

Rev. Bishop said in part: "It would be gratifying if hell were only a state of probation, but Jesus says, 'There is a gulf fixed, and they who would come from down there up here cannot and they who would go from here down there cannot.' There is no way to be saved except through Jesus' blood, and His blood has to be applied here. "The Tlch man wasn't a bad man. Some folk think that the poorer a man is the more righteous and the richer the meaner, but this is not always the case. 'Why did the rich man go down into torment?' you ask. Neglect— nothing more. We sometimes get the idea just murderers and criminals go to hell. If you won't do anything here God never will give you another chance. This is hell, remember. The remedy is the precious life and blood of Jesus."

Hudson fell from a low trestle near Amboy, 111., today and was rendered unconscious. Then it was discovered that "Ned" was a woman.

SPRING HOUSECLEANING TIME IS HERE!!!

My, what frowns some of you ladies wear during this week of toil and drudgery, taking up rugs and carpets, trying to wash big, heavy blankets, quilts, bed spreads, comforters taking down lace curtains and attempting to wash them, pinning them on the floor, you know it's a terrible nuisance, and you never get them right. Now, why not let the Columbian Laundry do all this work for you? We make a business of just such work, and are prepared to handle all the heavy pieces, including rugs and carpets, at a very small cost. If you once send your rugs, and carpets, lace curtains, heavy bedding to us to be washed before you lay them away for the summer, you will never attempt to do this work yourself. We are as near as your telephone. Join the happy Columbian family and wear smiles instead of frowns during housecleaning time.
