REV." MR. BELL RESIGNS.
lie Announced His Decision ! tile Mem
bers of ills Congregation at
Last Night's Service.
How ThjHhs Dell resigned from tli
imHtnrutur tlio Plymouth CongroKix
tlonul cIlcIi last evening. The action
limy lmvlR'iMi tin- loault of much con
sideration by Jlr. Hell, but the majority
of bis frlenda were greatly surprised
when they heard of It lntsl evening.
The l'pslKhntloa was written and was
simple and lo the point. It gave no rea
son for the action. Mr. Hell was seen
HEV. THOMAS MF.I.U
Inst evening by a Tribune reporter, lie
remarked that the leslgmitlon was for
personal reasons alone. It Is definitely
known that Mr. Hell has had no dllll
culty with his church that would make
the resignation mandatory. Ills ser
mons ure always lofty and permeated
with deep and pure thought. He never
catered to sensational or surface de
light. He was always lofty in his dls-
iitsslon of any theme, be it spiritual or
secular. To this dignity Is ascribed
his resignation.
It is known that a meeting of the
deacons of the church was held last
Wednesday. What was under discus
sion Is not definitely known, but on
excellent authority It Is learned that
the tone of Pastor Hell's sermons was
the main topic. Mr. Hell was pres
ent at the .meeting. At the service
yesterday morninir the congregation
were mystified when Mr. Hell an
nounced "that he would ijiake answer
lo the deacons of tills church at a meet
ing to be held after the present one."
The. result of this conference was the
resignation handed In seven hours af
terwartls. TheTreslanatlon takes effect on July
17, which Is Just -two years from the
time that Mr. Hell accepted a cull to the
church.

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
OT the Pyramid Pile ('tiro
is the fact that It cures every form
of lilies without one parllcle of pain.
This desirable point Is not obtained by
the use of Injurious dplates which sim
ply deaden and paralyze- the nerves of
the parts and make matters worse in
Hie long run, Hut It Is done solely by
Its remarkable healing and soothing ct
lectH. And while It thus gives Immediate
relief, at the same time the disease Is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
Is rapidly accomplished. "
And the point we want lo make clear
Is that all this is done without a particle
of pain.
This fact Is one reason for the great
populuilly ot the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it nnd almost any other
kind of treatment for piles. '
Hvcry kind of surgical operation for
idles Is excruciatingly painful besideii
endangering the life of the patient and
in most cases Is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither In mak
ing successful cures without pain nor
In cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be
foiu the public too long and Its in-iits
recognized by too many people to al
low It to be classed with tin- m.i'iy
salves, suppositories, pills, etc., and you
run no ilsk in trying It, us Is often the
case with new and untried preparations.

form of piles or rectal disease, do not
