Recitative (Soprano), Behold, there cometh unto Jesus one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name ; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet, and besought Him greatly, saying : (Ba88). My little daughter lieth at the point of death : I pray Thee, come and lay thine hands upon her, that she may be healed ; and she shall live. (Soprano), And Jesus went with him ; and much people followed him. ( Chorus), Trouble not the Master. Thy daughter is dead. (Bass). My little daughter even now is dead. But lay Thine hands upon her, I pray Thee ; come and lay Thine hands upon her, and she shall live. (Soprano), When Jesus heard it, He said, Fear not, believe, and she shall be made whole. Song (Tenor), My hope is in the Everlasting, that He will save you ; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting, our Saviour. Baruch iv. 22. I sent you out with mourning and weeping, but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever. Baruch iv, 23. Recitative (Soprano). Then Jesus cometh unto the house of the ruler, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. The Wailing (Chorus of Women), Sweet tender flower, Bornf r an hour. Now by death's cold hand stricken. Ne'er shall thy voice Laugh and rejoice. Ne'er shall thy life-blood quicken. Sleep, gentle child ! Pure, undefiled ; Weeping, to dust we yield thee ; Hush d are thy cries. Closed are thine eyes. Peace now for ever shield thee. Recitative (Soprano), And when Jesus was come in. He said unto them. Weep not, she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to scorn. Chorus of Unbelievers (Tenors and Basses), In the death of a man t.iere is no remedy, neither was any man known to have returned from the grave.

But when Jesus had put them all out, He taketh with Him the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with Him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying, and He took her by the hand saying : " Maid, I say to thee. Arise ! " And her spirit came again ; and she arose and walked. (Chorus). Awake, thou that sleepeth, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians v. 14. Likewise reckon ye yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans vi. 11. Let not sin reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof. But yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead. Romans vi. 12. Duet (Soprano and Tenor), Love Divine ! all love excelling, Joy of Heaven to Earth come down Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesu ! Thou art all compassion. Pure, unbounded Love Thou art ; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. Come Almighty, to deliver ; Let us all Thy grace receive, Hasten to return and never, Never more Thy temple leave. Thee we would be always blessing. Serve Thee as Thy hosts above ; Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing. Glory in Thy perfect love. Trio and Chorus. To Him who left His throne on high Mankind from death to raise. To Him, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, Be everlasting praise. Amen. Hallelujah. I \t i TA}*' iarEMiEiiiM^iiMiiai^«Kii3iii«iiiMi^^ W. H. ROGERS, AMHERST, N. S. AMHERST, N. 8., May 27, 1893. THE GRODER DYSPEPSIA CURE CO. Gentlenwn.—I am 71 years of age. Have been afflicted with aicli headache moat all my life, which developed into Dyspepsia of a mild type about twenty years ago, and has continued to grow worse untii during the past seven or eight years I have not been able to take a drink of cold water or milk, as they would produce severe pains and sometimes vomiting. I have been subject to severe pains in the cheat, with dizziness, which have been more frequent during the past three or four years. My mouth was furred up in the mornings, accompanied with bad breath. My case was yearly growing worse. During all this long period I have tried many popular medicines, as well as pre- scriptions from the regular medical practitioners, but without producing any improvement. In the Fall of '92 I concluded to try a bottle or two of your medicine and such were its effects that I continued it until now I can drink cold water or milk without any inconvenience Those dizzy pains are all gone and my mouth is as sweet as a baby's. In short your medicine has cured me and I am sure that all Dyspeptics can be cured by its use. (Signed) W. H. ROGERS, Lata Inspector of Fiahtrles for Noua Scotia.
