Phone 364 As your representative of Illinois, on the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention I am reminding you of the sailing of Reverend Robert Thorbourne, for the Panama Zone. The Board, at its meeting in Norfolk, decided to hold a missionary meeting at New Orleans, October 10th, and that every church, society or individual be asked to send through their Board member, an offering for the Home work. I am asking that you send your church, society or personal draft, money order or check to me, made out to Reverend S. J Dixon, Field Secretary of the Home Mission Board, that I may send all of the Illinois "Home Mission" money in together, under the head of Illinois, giving name of city, church, pastor and amount sent. If you do not care to send money to me, please send me a statement of the amount of money you seet that I may get in the list when I report Illinois to the "Union Review." Please join us in this effort to do more Home Mission work this year, For the sake of our work on the Panama Zone; for the sake of the cries tat are coming from those who need the Gospel at home; for the sake of our blessed Lord and Master who has placed this work in our hands, give this matter your attention NOW, for "The Master's business requires haste." I am yours in His Name, M. L. Porter, Home Mission Board Member for Illinois. M. Rev. C. W. Scates, Md. City, Illinois. Any church in the Mt. Olive District without a pastor may take Rev. C. W. Scates, Mound City, Illinois. NOTICE. We, the Minister's of the Mt. Olive and East Mt.

A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCrary. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small intrrest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by lifting a penny collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association and was readily approved. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications; as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartrrah deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrrah Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrrah, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrrah Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.
