WAS IT PROVIDENCE OR ACCIDENT?

Did the finding of that article save the man's life 1 ■ That is the question. Is there a divinity that shapes our ends ? or are events but a mere series of accidents which may happen to one person as well as another. Are the experiences that compose our lives links m a chain, or loose grains of sand ? As you answer these questions, as you take the one side or the other, so is your faith ;, you _ are a materialist or a believer m Providence We now propose to relate a story m illus tration of thfs problem which may have some effect m arousing those who have always thought themselves the subject of blind chance. The following facts are fully vouched for, and resemble occur rences m the lives of multitudes. Several years ago Griffith Jones was a policeman at Holyhead, Wales. He had a family consisting of a wife and nve young children to take care of. Holy head' is on St. George's (or the Irish)! Channel, and is open to terrific gales that i so often gather on those dangerous waters and beat with violence opon the coast. Jones' "post" or " bent " extended back into the country, over bleak, wind-swept hills. He had to walk through this region m nil weathers, day or night. He was often out m winter nights, m cold and darkness, exposed to the storms that drive m ttom the sea, At such times the wife listened to the rattling windows, and prayed that the husband and father mi"hfc take no harm m the wild tempest. This was hard lines, but m the family (though they were poor enough) tWe was still health and comparative comfort But m a bad storm the policeman caught n heavy cold. Home remedies failed to cure it, and the officer sent to Ins old physician at Aberffraw for medicine. It did no good. Jones' right side grew "queer"and painfuL The doc or siad it was the liver, and he was right; but correct opinions don't cure disease, m

head troubled him, too, and he was often so giddy he could hardly walk. "I am so tired and .weary," he would say, . J tlon't know what maker, me; I try to rout and sleep, but get u|> just a3 tlearl tired as when I go to bed;' ! Then worse came. He sat down to his table, but revolted from his food ; appetite was «one, There was a curious feeling at the stomach; it was cold, dull, and miserable, like a furnace which contaiu.s nothing but ashes and cinders. A nasty and nauseous kind of gas or wind came up into his throat, like the effluvia from a tojifbs His wife called his .attention to tl|e ghastly yellow colour of his eyes and sfin, and once m a while he would have a spell of palpitation of the heart that made him afraid of falling dead-^perhaps m some lonely place. In spite of it all, however, Policeman Jones kept on duty as much as ever he could. Of course. So would any honest, plucky man. But he slept fitfully, with bad dreams. He cried out sometimes with the terror of them, and. the frightened children said, "Is papa going to die.* He was, and is, one of the most patient and loving of men, yet now he was cross and surly to his family. Then something new developed. There came a pam under, his left shoulder blade ; his wrists and knees srew swollen and painful; this was rheumatism, caused, the doctors said, by the undigested and fermented food having poisoned the blood. Kidney and bladder complaint followed -for they also are merely symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. The policeman now felt he must give ud, and, if he did, then what. He could foresee nothing I'Ut destitution. Now we come to the event which sug gested the question Avith which this short history begins : Was it an accident or was it a link m a saving chain 1 Enter ing the Holyhead station house one day, ill, depressed, weak, and miserable, ho saw a little pamphlet under the table. He picked it up and began to read it. In a few moments his mind was rivetted upon its passes. In clear, plain language he found his own case fully described, just as though the hook had been written for him and for him alone. It named a cure for all his ailments, a medicine called Mother Sei gel's Curative 'Syrup. The iplain honesty of the statoinqnta 'won his ■confidence. He procured half-a-dozen bottles through Mr Henry Wilson, of the Drug Hall, Holylw/1. • Taking it he began to improve, and all his aoliea and pains vanished m a few weeks. This "was August, 187!>- Tun years have .passed, but not a sign or sympton of hi? ailment has returned.'" Mr Jones, entered upon a more lucrative business, and wher ever he goes he spreads (he fame of Seigel's Syrup, and insists that the glimpse of the book on the table settled the point as to whether he should go under the sod or be the strong now man lip 'ias hfip.n ever since
