THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AN INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. Reflections of an Elevating: Character— Wholesome Food for Thought—Studying the Scriptural Lesson Intelligently I ant! Profitably. Lesson for August 26. We are having a number of “first things” in the life of Jesus through these lessons; now the first miracle, i which is the subject this week. It is found in John 2: 1-11. And yet was it the first'? As John said, at the oj ening of this Gospel, “All things were made by him, and without him was not I anything made that was made.” All I creation, all life is his miracle. And I vet this was the first of that remarkaI ble series of attesting marvels which marked his earthly- career. Has his ‘first miracle” of saving power had place in you? Have you bean born again?

A MOTHER'S STORY. HAPPINESS COMES AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING. The Terrible Experience of a Well-knowa Official’s Wife—A Story That Appeals to Every Mother la the Land. From the Chattanooga, Tenn.. Press. No county official in East Tennessee Is better known and more highly esteemed than Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit County Clerk of Rhea County, at Dayton, the home of Mr. Wilson. He enjoys the confidence and respect of all classes, and in the business community his word is as good as his bond. Just now Mr. Wilson is receiving heartiest congratulations from his numerous friends becau-e of the restoration to robust health of his estimable wife, who has it r years been a helpless invalid. Mrs. Wilson’s high standing in society, and her manj* lovable traits of character have won her a ho-t of friends, and her wonderful recovery has attracted widespread attention. As the Press was the medium of bringing to the invalid lady’s attention the remedy that has effect ’d her remarkable cure, a reporter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs. NN ilson. in order that the general public might have the benefit of the sufferer s experience and be made aware of the treatment that wrought such a marvelous change in he • condition. The reporter wa • welcomed at the Wilson home, and the enthusiastic lady with becoming reluctance gave the history of her a “Fiction and the manner in which she wa - relieved: “Yes,” said Mrs. Wilson, “I wa -for eight years an invalid with one of the most distressing a’ilictions woman can. suffer. Fei eight years I moped around, dragging myseL with difficulty and. pain out of bed. My little ones went untrained and were greatly neglected, while I looked listlessly and helplessly at the cheerless prospect before me and them. I suffered the most intense pains in the small of mv back, and these seemed even greater in the region of the stomach, extending down to the groins. I suffered agony sleeping or awake. Despair is no word for the feeling caused by that dreadful sensation of weakness and helplessness I constantly experienced. “I was treated lor my trouble by several local physicians, but they were able to give me only temporary relief by the use of sedatives ar.d narcotics. I'had almost given up all hope of ever securing permanent relief when I saw an account in the Press of a cure which. Dr. NVilliams’ Pink Pills had effected. I decided to try them, as I knew the lady who had been cured, and had great confidence in her statement. I began to take the pills in October. 1893, and in two months I was doing light hou-e---work and attending to the children, without any bad effects or weakness such as 1 had formerly experienced. Hitherto, I had been unable to retain • any food, but now my appetite grew stronger, and with it came back that old healthy and hearty tone of s “ I can now rejoice in my hu band success. for I fee that I ’ to live .or. NVho has a better right to ,j thru a mother/ One tiling t" others, and many of the women of Pai ton have taxen them with good result-, an 1 it is my greatest pleasure to recommend to every suffering woman u remedy that has done so much for aie. ” An analysis proves that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life a d richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis. Ft. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous h adache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and !allow complexions, that tired fee ing resulting from nervous prostration: al diseases resulting fi om vitiated humors in the b cod, such as scio u a, chronic erysipe ax etc. They are alsoaspo.ific for troubles peeu’iar to females, such as suppressions, irregidarit’es, and a 1 forms of weakness, in men the.v effect a radica' cure in all cases arising from menta worry, overwork, or excesses ol whatever nature. Dr. Williams’ Fink Pills for Fa’e People are now nan i actured by the Dr. NVilliams’ Medi ine Company, Schenectady. N. Y., and are so d in boxes never in loose orm by the dozen or hundred, and tho pub c are cautioin d against numerous imitations su’d in this shape at 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.59, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company.

It was not a spacious place—only s long, narrow strip of land running iron the home to a back alley; yet to mj young eyes it seeme I a paradise Against the rear wall o; the house apricot trees were trained, and ar arbor, covered by grapevines, shaded the brick walk, where pigeons were always fluttering back and forth from the pathway to their cotes at the end of the yard. Between arbor and the side fences were se era! fruit trees, but the ever-to-be-remembered ones, the champions, were two plum trees, which bore big, oval plums. In the flickering shade of the trees a kind old grand fa her moved, armed with aw, nderful machine to hook off the fruit for the expectant children sun oundinc him.
