‘1 have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor

Billings, Mont,
There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer’s Hair
Vigor—it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
Butgraduallythe old color
comes back,—all the rich,
dark color it used to have.
The hair stops falling, too. |

FROM BETHEL TO BETHEL
Sunday Discourse by Dr. Chapman, the
Noted Pastor-Evangelist.
Thirty Years of Time Betweem the Two
Various Experiences of Jacob Pray
As You Used To.
NEw Yorg Crry.—The Rev. Dr, J. Wil-
bur Chapman, the popular pastor-evangel-
ist, who is now preaching to overflowing
congregations in this city, has furnished
the following eloquent sermon to the
Tess, It was preached from the text
: A "0 "~

gis 35: 3.
I doubt not you have frequently seen the
sky when throughout a long day it has
been overcast with clouds, only now and
then the sun would break forth but for a
moment and then the curtain would be
drawn together once more and only the
clouds were to be seen. To me this is an
illustration of the life of Jacob, The sun
breaks through at Bethe!, and while this
seems to be a mixing of figures, for the
hour of the vision was in the night, vet the
glory of heaven was upon him brighter
than the shining of the sun. It pushes
its way through at Peniel, once more

Bome preliminary steps. Before we may
ever expect to go back to the place of
blessing it will be necessary for us to ob-
serve the instructions which Jacob gave
to his household.
_ First, “Put away the strange gods,” thal
in, literally, “the God of the strangers.”
They have been living with the enemies of
God's people, and little by little the gods
of these people had gotten possession of
them. They were taken into their tents
and then into their hearts, and they were
out of fellowship with God. Wherever
there is a fungus growth in the forests
there is corruption and decay, wherever
there is an idol in the heart there is »
fresh indication of weakness, and we can
not hide our idols; they refuse to be hid
den. When we least expect it there is
resurrection.
What is an idol? It may be a very little
thing. That which tends to usurp an un
due place in our affections, which gives us
more pleasure than the thought of God. is
an ida) The thing in our life which makes
us sacrifice nearness to God, which may
not necessarily be sinful, only questionable,
is an idol. That which make us indiffer
ent to spiritual advantages and indifferent
to Bethel is an idol ‘our reputation,
your fortune, that unworthy friend upon
whom you lavish your affection, these may
be idols, for “no man can serve two mas
ters, for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or will cleave to the one
and depart from the other.” Therefore
put away the strange gods, and if we really
want to be near to God how easy it will
be to find out the thing that hinders us,
and vet as a matter of fact who can put
away his idols? 1 cannot, I am sure, hut
