At St. I'aul'a episcopal church , Thirty-
second nnd California streets , there was a
notable aervlco at 10 o'clock , when Ilc\ Ar
thur L. Williams , bishop eoadjutoi for the
dloceso of Nebraska , was the celebrant at
holy communion. The presence of the bishop
coadjutor , as well as the general popularity
of the church , due to the energetic work of
the rector , Hov. Moor , who has been a tlif-
less worker on behalf of the parish , at-
tiacted a throng of worshipers.
Through many of the Sunday schools , In
flations had been extended se\ernl days
in advance for contributions from the pupils
and friends , in order that something might
bo given to the poor This request was
very generally met and a heaity mass of

hands to deserving ones.

The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year.7,500 divorces were granted
in the Stite of Ohio last year We- agree
th.it there ate faults on both sides , but the
great problem is ; Arc those faults remedi
able ? To a great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result in divorce may
be remedied , Given u dyspeptic husbind
and a wife suffering from female trouble
and vvc have the read ) made elements of a
uivorce case. In view of the facts there
ran be very little doubt that ninny women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill Women aie not to
blame They have looked forward to their
home life as a dream of paradise Then
disease conies like A .serpent and destroys
nil happiness
Women who suffer with debilitating
drains , infl limitation , nice-ration , female
trouble and bearing down pains will find
certain relief and cure in Doctor I'lerce's
1'avorite 1'rescription It so invigorates
the organs peculiarly feminine ami regu
lates their functions that they are estab
lished in a perfectly healthy condition ,
The old lightness of heart comes back ;
there'ti light in the eyes and .1 Miulc on the
lips. The old irritation and nervousness
are gone , and the husbind comes to his
home as a haven of resit and comfort
