It is a
Significant
That when the largest jobbing house in America decided to give in
creased attention to its corset department it resulted in the addition
of the
"W. B." Straight Front
CORSET
Therefore, believing that the same rule applies to the small dealer, we
.have added one number 702 to our corset department. The "Erect
Form" is made from French satin, is hygienic, does not strain the abdo
men or compress the bust. The lungs and digestive organs have full play.
Pressure of lacing is all put upon the hips and back muscles, forcing the
ghoulders erect. It is low busted enough to give a long, graceful effect
from shoulder to bosom. It is hip gored and made with extra heavy front
Steels. It has the fullest guarantee as to fit and make. A good corset has
the same superiority over a cheap one that is apparent in a shoe or glove.
WRAPPERS
To give room to new Spring
6tock we shall close out all wrap
pers now on hand at a bargain.
Now don't wait 'till theyare gone,
but come soon, as there are not
many left.
FUR COLLARETTES
There are just half a dozen left
out of ten dozen, all good desir
able styles which will be closed

Rev. G. W. Kellogg, pastor of the

interesting and instructive sermon
taking for his text, Matt. 11: 28 30
"Come unto me all ye that art

synopsis.

all is emphatic. Whatever election and pre

way or degree narrow the inclusiveiiei-s of his
invitation. Remember who gives this prom

learn the futility of their eff.irti-I The one
story ot histoiy, as written in Genets, on the
paperi discovered in Neuioah, later iu Ei.vpt,
on all the pages of modern history i that, of
man's struggle with sin. This the meaning
of the world wide, unbroken succession of
sacrifices, oblations, prayer, peuances and
pilgrimage, its the same old, old story ol the
weary, hopeless struggle for release from the
galling yoke and heay burden of sin. Cease
your faultless tfforts. Come to Jesus and
find rest.
Then comes the believers after rest; the first
is given as a preparation for and a propitious
start in a new life. In discharging the
duties and bearing the burdens of which man
finds a new, continuous and even more com
plete and perfect rest. Christ is no friend of
idleness, promises no release from the duties,
responsibilities, burdens of life, simply to fit
self to its sphere, to self-poise us, set our na
tures in proper balance, bring all our powers
into harmonious relation and interplay, and
thus give us rest, not from but in labor, with
the yoke on not off. No man is born into
this world whose work is not born with him.
We have simply choice of the yoke under
which we will work and the burden we will
bear. Whereas- Satan s yoke is galling,
Ohrists is easy. Whereas his burden was
heavy Christ's is light. Look not to find rest
in a life of idleness.
Learn of me;" learn wiat? To wear the
yoke and bear the burdens of life easily,
naturally, in the spirit of meekness and lowli
ness of heart. It's the spirit within which
gives tiue rest, a rest not conditional upon,
but superior to all outward circumstances.
We are ever saying "if but my circumstances
were more fortunate I could find rest." Nay
If you can not find rest in poverty you could
not in wealth, if not in labor, not in idleness,
if not in persicution for Christ and tbe truth's
sake, then not in honor. Peace and rest
spring from the inward condition not from
tbe outward circumstances.
We frequently envy the apostles their privi
lege of close association with the Master say
if only I could have walked and talked with
him, then I coul 1 believe, could rest in him."
Nay I It is possible for us to enjoy a closer as
soc;ation with him, to have a eltarer, broad
er, more profound understanding of bis char
acter teachings, work, sacrifice, mission tban
they could know. Latterly there is a very
manifest deepening and intensifying of inter
est in him and his work. We are coming to
realize as never before that our salvation
comes not through accepting his teachings,
bis sacrifice, but himself, living in him and be
in us, in vital transformation into his image
more and more generally and earnestly are
believers uniting in the prayer-hymn, "Nearer
my God to I bee.

The "Big Store" has grown as it has deserved to grow through its ser
vice to the economical and fastidious consumer. Absolutely fresh goods,
large assortment, lowest prices that is our aim, that is wha t makes this
store really necessary to those who would economize and still live well, and
the best place as well, for those who wish to have the largest variety to
choose from.

To quote prices on Trimmings
means nothing, because price it
self tells nothing about quality. If

K. Currier & Co. methods of
doing business, the price for the
quality will be a pleasant surprise
to you. Come in and look them
over as no such an assortment was

fore. We have styles to suit all
sizes of pocket-books.

favor, because our belts embody

tive designs

Flannel for Waists '
We have not had an article in
our stock for a long time that has
met with a more ready sale than
our waist flannels at 25c. We
have them in seven of the latest
shades and the wonder of all is,
how can this grade be sold so low?
We would be pleased to send
samples to anyone requesting
them.
Our Wrappors at 69o
Are receiving many compli
ments, why ? Because most stores
get 1 1. 00 for this grade. They
are made of standard cloths and
well made too. A few odd wrap
pers left from which you can take
your choice at 50c each.
