FACING THE NEW YEAR.
A new year is upon us, with new
duties, new conficts, new trials, and
tiew oppor tuuities. Start on th'e jour-
ney with Jesus-towalk&-with Him, to
work for Him, and to win souls to
Him. It may be the last year of our
lives! A happy year it will be to those
who. through every path of trial, or .
up every hill of difficulty, or over
every sunny height, march on in clos-
est fellowship with Jesus, 'and who '
will det ermine that, come what may,
they must have Christ , every day.-

. A HELPING HAND.-I am glad to
call attention to people suffering with
different ailments to tell them that I
ha\fe discovered a way to health. I
have been a . sufferer for the past
seven years ;yith nervous prostration
and tried everything that I and all
my friends could think of. Finally I
was fortunate enough to -find relief.
U. Robbins a n.ow after taking two
months treatments I am a different
woman altogether, gaining in weight
and am now able to do most of my .
housework. I was at one time paral-
yzed for six months on one side.
As Mr. Robbins gives no medicine
his treatments are very soothing.
Any one can see Mr. Robbins at
his office and residence, 129 Carr
street, (between Pico and Fourteenth
and Hill and Main) ' from one to five
. each day. He makes calls to any part
of the city.
I will give further information if
needed. Yours very truly,
