DUNMORE DOINGS
WILL WE KNOW OUR FRIENDS
IN HEAVENP
EvangelUt W. H. Williams Believes
Most Emphatically That Every
Human Soul Will Recognize Its
Friends, in the "Sweet Bye and
Bye" A Most Brilliant Sermon on
Immortality Heard in the Method
ist Church Revival Services at
Tripp Avenue Church Other Notes.
Rev. W. It. Williams, tho Drum
mer Evangelist, spoke last night nt
tho Methodist church from tho text,
John 17-21; subject, "Will Wo Know
Our Friends In Heaven." Ho said In
part:
"Change is one of the allotments of
Providence. Appearance and relation
change, but nothing Is completely de
stroyed. This old world Is 8,000 miles
through and 25,000 miles around It, not
one atom of matter more or less than
when God made it and sent it spinning
around tho sun, thousands of years
ago. This being true of particles of
matter, we think wc can claim that
death does not end all.
"Heaven would have no anlldoto for
the soul In bereavement without the
futuie meeting. Wo sing. "Earth has
no sorrow heaven cannot heal." Have
you burled a hope. I think not. Rob
ert Ingcrsoll did not bury his. He said
nt the grave of his brother, "Hope
hears tho sound like tho rustling of a
wing.'
"Have we been singing a miserable
farco in these hymns, 'I'll Meet You
In the City,' and others of like char
acter. These songs were written and
put in books to sell. Men have made
a business of the sentiment we find
in every breast of a homo beyond the
grave.
"John says: 'I saw 141,000.' How
would you count this number? One
at a time? I think he further says: 'I
saw the small and great stand bsforc
God.' Yes, tho children nro all there.
Hell has never heard the wall of ono
child's voice. Heaven has them nil. If
not, we men had better give It up, for
we will never got there.
"Mother, put away the little shoe3
nnd dresses with a song of triumph,
and never, say again, 'I have lost my
children.' Not one Is lost, for we know
where they are, therefore they arc not
lost.
"We nro not only to know our loved
one, but will know those who wo have
helped to a better life. They that go
forth weeping, bearing the precious
seed, will doubtless como again, rejoic
ing, bringing their sheaves with them.
"Thero aro two worlds. The dead are
Just out of sight. Our friends arc Just
around the corner of Nature. We dwell
In tho suburbs of tho city; they aro in
the royal chamber.
"We are under the cloud", they are
in the radiance of heaven. We In
habit miniature tabernacles, which are
built right under the eaves of God's
everlasting palaces.
"To know, friend, Is essential to the
unravelling of the mysteries of this
life. What I do now thou shalt not
know, but thou shalt know hereafter,
says Jesus. Go weeping ones, look,
your crowns aro gathering luster. Your
harps are being tuned to deeper and
sweeter notes of Joy."
Mlbs Hall sang again. In keeping
with Mr. Williams' subject. Tho sub
ject for the meeting tonight will bo
"Doubting Thomas."

COST OF
What a. large proportion of the time of
the well la necessarily devoted to and
lost In the care of the aicK.
An army of Physicians, Nurses and
Watchers, etc.-
One slcK. member of the family upsets
the whole current of domestic affairs
and social and business interest suffers.
Sleepless nights and anxious days tend
to undermine the health of those who are
well.
The direct cost of sickness Is an item
impossible to estimate : even the direct
cost could it be computed would be
something appalling.
Health is maintained by resorting to the
use of Warner's Safe Cure just as soon
as the liver shows signs of torpidity
or the kidneys give
suspicion of "weakness.
