tie revival season of tho past month. Hev.
T). I. Evans, tho pastor, preached an eloquent
sermon on "A Great Man In Great Need."
Tho text was taken from If Kings, Vs

brief reference hiogrnphicallv to Naa-
man, Commander-in-Chief of tho Sy
rian armies, nnd nonret to th person
of tho King. Ho was a greit man with his
matter nnd held in high esteem "beeansn hv
him the Lord gave deliverance unlo Syria"
from some nthct power which had nppresed
It. Not that either Naainim or his master
acknowledged thi, hut the inspired author
would thus teach the Jens nnd us how
all the events of all nations are under
tho supremo control and direction of God.
There seems to have been everything in
Naamah's position and sii'roundlngs to innko
him happy, but under his armour and tils
courtly robo there was a white spot, tho
fatal sign of an Incurable dieae He was a
leper nnd not a slave In the whole realm of
Syria would have been found willing to
change places with him. So our leprosy of

ourselves upon Is to bo coveted and admired.

lie and tho King and n'l tho people of Syria
wero idolaters, except one the maid who
waited nn Naaiuau's wile. She was a slave,
but she eventually proved tho reality of her
own faith and strength of her religious
principles. Seeing the grievous condition of
her master, and knowing the power of love
of the God whom she served to remove dis
ease, she urged upon her mistress the possi
bility of a cure. Finally Naaman niado the
journey, accompanied by a grand retinue,
aud with a handsome- picscnt, and
appeared before the Couit of
Samaria. Tho King of Israel
repted the letter written by Naaman's
Kiner, hut knowing the folly of attempting
such a thing as the euro of a leper, treated
It rathernsln insult. The great but wretched
Naaman might have returned disappointed
had not tho Lord, by his prophet Elisha,
made known his power and morcy. "Let
him cnino to me, and he shall know that
theie is a prophet in Israel," said Elisha.
N'aamnu came with his chariol and horso and
stood at tho house of Ellslia and was cured.
In the cure of Naaman wo see how gradu
ally God reveals himself to those that seek
him. There ore golden opportunities that
como to everyone of us when we can wisely
aud rightly speak of the grace aud power of
Jesus Christ tho Hedeemcraud living Friend
of sinners.

A Minister's
This narrative from a minister is of greatest value,
to those whose nerves arc unstrung, health shattered
or otherwise ailing. It is particularly appropriate in
this age of active, nervous, endless labor.
Vc arc living too fitt. " Fast as light
ning," expresses it, for wt tall: by elec
tricity, cook by electricity, travel by
electricity and so on.
Its a hurry, hurry, hurry from the cradle
to the grave.
We crowd too much ; crowd our work,
crowd our eating, crowd our pleasure,
crowd our sleeping.
A " breaking down of the nervous sys
tem" is the way of expressing the result.
It means a depleting of the nerves in
duced by prolonged strain ! overtaxing of
the nervous system; a product of over
hurry and bustle.
It affects all people in all walks of life.
It baffles physicians of all schools.
No one knows the horrors of such a
condition better than Rev. I. N. Mc
Cready, of Elkton, Mich. For years he
labored faithfully and well. He was pro
gressive and aggressive I a leader among
men, a deep thinker and a hard worker.
In his seal, he overworked! overtaxed
Ills mental and physical strength.
The outlook was dark, with health shat
tered and recovery apparently hopeless.
Many means for a cure were tried, with
out receiving benefit.
Finally he took Dr. Williams' Pink Pilb
for Pale People and was restored to health.
He says i
"In April, 1896, the physicians said I
must stop preaching or die.
" I had overtaxed mystlf and was suf
fering from a complete breaking down of
my nervous system and a persistent stom
?h trouble.

"Several physicians treated me, but no
permanent benefit was derived.
" Four times I was stricken with nervous
prostration twice with gastritis.
"These attacks would throw me into
spasms.
" 1 could eat neither meat or vegetables.
" If my bare feet touched the floor I was
immediately seized with cramps.
" I was used up) helpless, hopeless.
"I commenced to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. One box was
consumed and I felt no better. This dis
couraged me.
"My wife urged me to try the pills
some more, feeling that my life depended
upon the result. .
" I continued to take them.
"Since then, and it has been several
months, I have enjoyed life.
" Have preached all summer and held
revival meetings for fifteen weeks.
" I have had no muscular exercise for
years, but recently, have done considerable
hard work In my garden, my muscles
standing this test remarkably well.
"Every Sabbath I preach three times
and now think I am good for another
twenty years, if the Lord wills."

Crcady made affidavit' before J.D.Brookes,
