Parents and children, come and kneel be fore Your God, and with united hearts adore Him whose alone your life and being are. Come to the place of prayer! Ye band of loving hearts; 0 come and raise, With one consent, the grateful song of praise, To Him who blessed you with a lot so fair! Come in the morning hour ! Who—who hath raised you from the dream of night? Whose hand hath poured around the cheer ing light? Come, and adore that kind celestial power, Come at the close of day ! Ere weal ied nature sinks in gentle rest; Come and let all your sins be here confess'cl; Come and for his protecting mercy pray. Has sorrow's withering blight Your dearest hopes in desolation laid, And the once cheerful home in gloom ar rayed? Yet pray, for He can turn the gloom to light. Has sickness entered in Your peaceful mansion ? then let prayer ascend On wings of faith, to that all-gracious Friend Who came to heal the bitter pangs of sin. Come to the place of prayer! At morn, at night—in gladdess or in grief— Surround the throne of grace, there seek re lief, Or pay your free and grateful homage there.

Dr. Brandreth wishes mankind to con. alder this truth, that health solely depends . on the state of purity in which the blood is kept, every part of the body being sup plied daily with new blood from the food consumed;_ consequently according to the pureness of that blood, so must the state of the body be more or less healthy. To obtain therefore the most direct purifier of the blood, is a question of no little im portance to every individual. It is a well known fact that Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills are the most direct purifier of the blood. There will be no doubt of this when it is considered that they have gained their present very extensive sale by their own intrinsic me rit, proved by the numerous cures which they have accomplished in every variety of disease.
