MORELAND, Pastor of Walter's Church, Chicago, Jll. Dr. J. F. Morland is considered a financier and church-builder. Our acquaintance dates back to 1884, when he preached the funeral semen of the Palladium man's mother, in Lexington, Ky. We have kept pace with him since that time, and have always found him a Christian gentleman. He was sent to this church by Bishop Walters, and told to go and save a church then in hands of trustees. He came, and the members of the church accepted him. At the time he arrived the church had almost passed into the hands of creditors, but ere long his earnest labor bore THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY Church Built By Rev. Moreland.

His administration in St. Louis was more than a success. Dut our ideal bishop saw another field open, and said to the board of bishops: "I want Dr. J. Moreland to go to Chicago to build a church for God and IZon." They consented, and although it was hard for this church to give him up, they submitted. He departed, and in less than three years he built a church in Chicago at a cost of nearly $36,000. Now is the time for the conference to recognize his labor, and clect him to the office of business manager of the A. M. E. church. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP the A. M. E.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1904. LIBERAL ARTS BUILDING LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST. LOUIS, U.S.A. 1904 AN ABLE SERMON. Bishop C. H. Phillips Preaches at Lane Chapel, C. M. E. Church. 3966 Fairfax Ave. Last Sunday the dedication of Lane chapel, C. M. E. church, on Fairfax avenue, took place, and exercises were held all day. Bishop R. S. Williams preached in the afternoon, and Bishop E. Cothrell, D. D., at night. The hit of the day, however, was the able and eloquent sermon of Bishop C. H Phillips, D. D., L. L. D., of Tennessee, at the morning service. Bishop Phillips is presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal district of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, and is exceedingly popular. Taking for his text, "The Love of God," the bishop preached a sermon of peculiar spiritual power, to a large and responsive audience. He declared, in the first place, God's love for the world; 2d. The result of that love; 3d. Its purpose. He said in part that "the love of God was beyond understanding. It is too deep to be fathomed, too wide to be covered, and too long to be traversed by man's comprehension." He then related a touching and beautiful story of a mother's love, and concluded by saying that the love of God was even greater than all the mothers' love of the universe." In the second place God's love for the world was so ardent and true that He gave up His only begotten Son, who had been with Him long before the morning stars sang together, and before chaotic darkness disappeared, and light became evident. He gave Him up for man's redemption, continuing, the bishop said, "in the third place, the purpose of God's love was the giving to all Christians everlasting life." Abroad the charlot of a strong imagination, ride through the pearly gates of Heaven; count all the angels and inhabitants of the city of God; come back to earth, and put the number down. Go out on a beautiful night and count all the stars of the etheral regions, and put number down. Swing them around the shore, and count all the grains of sand, the fish of the water, etc., and put the number down. Swing them around the world, and count all the people, animals and things thereof, and put the number down. Then add them up and the best mathematician in all the world could not give the correct answer." So it is with the child of God. No one can calculate his years with Heaven's host; no one can dtermine his stay with God. "And when he's been there ten thousand years, Bright skining as the sun; He's no less days to sing God's praise, Than when he first begun." Thus the Christian glories in the fact that he shall have everlasting life beyond the grave, and throughout ceaseless ages he shall dwell with God and His angels forever and ever. The general board of the C. M. E. church, which the bishop was attending, has adjourned, and he left the first of the week for the west on an Episcopal visitation. LIBERAL ARTS LOUISIANA PURCHASE ST.

The main entrance leads to a rotunda reaching from the mosaic floor up through all three floors to the vanished dome.

Its ceiling will be deeply paneled, and its walls will be ornamented with mural painting—an epical frieze six feet wide Dr. W.E. B. Dubois, professor of sociology at Atlanta university, will deliver an address on the Negro Problem at True Reformers' hall, Wednesday evening, June 29, under the auspices of the Lyceum Sketch club. Prof. Du Bois is considered the most scholarly Negro in the United States. He is a graduate of Harvard university and the University of Berlin. His recent work, "The Souls of Black Folk," places him in the front rank of American writers. He has made a life study of the Negro question, and his addresses on this subject are considered masterpieces of eloquence and logic. One standing evil we observe is the posting of society or lodge bills in the windows of private homes. Any old club that gives a ball or picnic has its bills posted on the fence or in the windows of our people's homes. It looks bad; is in fact, poor taste.

MINISTER The Inspiration to the Deed Was the Religious Hatred of the Kurds For Christians—Searching For the Murderers. Washington, May 19.—The full story of the killing of the American missionary, Dr. Labaree, near Mount Ararat, as a result of religious hatred, is told in a report that has just reached the state department from Richmond Pearson, United States minister to Persia, under date of Teheran, April 18, 1904 The minister's report says: "It is now 41 days since Rev. Benjamin W. Labaree, an American missionary, was murdered near Khoi, almost under the shadow of Mount Ararat. I had hoped before this to cable you that one or more of the murderers had been arrested, but I can only report at present that a large expedition, under command of an energetic general, who is highly respected and commended by the missionaries, is actually scouring the mountains in search of any and all of the gang, who are all known and identified. While only four men actually participated in the killing of Mr. Labaree and his servant, ten other Kurds of the same gang were accomplices. They simply taken another road for the purpose of entrapping their prey, and must be held guilty as accessories before the fact. "The brutality and atrocity of the murder removed any doubt as to its motive, and eliminates entirely the suggestion in my first cable that the motive apparently was robbery. The stealing of horses and other property was merely an incident. The inspiration of the deed was religious and race hatred without the slightest personal animosity. The fact that the chief and leader of the criminals is a Seyid, an alleged lineal descendant of Mahomet, adds greatly to the difficulty of arrest. These Kurds are all Mohammadans of the Sunni sect, and their fanaticism, which is both ardent and sincere, added to their hereditary and instinctive love of blood and pillage, make them a dangerous and a difficult population to deal with. The area of the home of the Kurds of Kurdistan is as large as the state of South Carolina; it disregards imperial boundaries, as its inhabitants disregard imperial laws and orders; it extends into Persia or Turkey according to the pleasure and hatits and wanderings of these wild people. "Nominally subjects of the shah or the sultan they are really the rulers of the region and practically a law unto themselves. "The efforts which I have made to secure the arrest and punishment of the criminals have received unremitting support from the British consul general at Tabriz and from the missionaries." CUTTING OFF RACING NEWS. The Western Union Order Extended to Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco. New York, May 19.—Following his action in discontinuing to all subscribers in this city a report of the racing at various tracks in this country, Col. Robert C. Clowry has notified the general superintendents of the company at New York, Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco that the collection and distribution by the Western Union Telegraph Co. of horse race reports would be discontinued forthwith. The text of the notice to the superintendents reads as follows: "It has been decided to discontinue forthwith the collection and distribution by this company of horse race reports.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, " OZONO " BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

Columbia, Mo., May 17.—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending May 16, 1904, says: The temperature averaged considerably below the normal in all sections of the state, and the week closed with a cold rain. Light frost was general in the western counties on the 10th and 14th, but did little or no damage. The precipitation exceeded one inch over portions of the central and western sections, but in the eastern counties it was generally light. In most of the southern counties conditions were favorable for farm work, but in a majority of the central and northern counties the ground remained too wet. In some districts, however, work progressed favorably during a part of the week, and considerable corn was planted. In the southern counties planting is generally well advanced, and in many localities practically completed. Much of the early-planted corn has been replanted, but considerable replanting still remains to be done. Corn that is up is making slow growth. owing to the cool weather. Cultivation has been in progress in some of the southern counties. Oats are doing well in some districts, but in others they are very unpromising. There is much complaint of poor stands and slow growth, and in some localities the fields are becoming weedy. Wheat has deteriorated in a few counties, owing to excess of moisture and damage by fly, but as a rule continues very promising. The earliest fields are now heading in the extreme southern counties, and some wheat in the central counties is in boot. Rye is heading and doing well. Cotton planting, in the extreme southeastern counties, has been completed in some localities, but in others it has been delayed by wet soil. There is some complaint of poor stands. Meadows and pastures are generally doing well, but need more warmth and sunshine. In a few counties there is complaint that meadows are weedy. Gardens are being retarded by the low temperature. In some of the northern counties gardens are not all planted. Potatoes have come up to good stands in some sections, and are doing well, but in many of the central and northern counties they have rotted badly. Apples are now in bloom in the northern counties, and an excellent crop is indicated in nearly all sections. In a few of the southern counties, however, they are dropping badly. The present cold, rainy weather is unfavorable for strawberries, which are ripening in the southern counties and promise an excellent yield. Blackberries are blooming in the extreme southern counties and promise a good crop. Dockery Appointed Delegates. Gov. Dockery has appointed the following to represent Missouri at the national conference of charities and corrections, to be held at Portland, Me., June 15-22: R. M. Scruggs, Charles Parsons, George H.

Elaborate Preparations For the Formal Opening of the Missouri Building in June. Elaborate preparations are being made for the dedication of the Missouri building at the World's fair, which will be formally opened June 3. The Missouri building has been open to the public since the opening of the exposition, but the dedication was delayed because the commissioners deemed it fitting that it should not take place until the exhibits of Missouri and all other states in the various buildings should be completed. A large attendance of Missouri people upon the day of the dedication is expected, and the commissioners desire that when the building is opened the whole exposition shall be ready for those who have come to the dedication. While arrangements for the dedicatory ceremonies have not been perfected, it has been decided that a parade, in which Battery A, the First regiment and the Philippine scouts will take part, shall be a feature of the dedication. It has also been decided that no long addresses shall be made, and prominent men who will be heard will be allotted only five minutes each. Invitations to speak at the dedication will be limited strictly to twenty-five, and it is believed that everyone honored with an invitation will accept unless important business should prevent him from doing so. Among the speakers will be Gov. Dockery, President Francis, Senator Cockrell, Senator Stone, former Senator Vest and Missouri members of congress. The parade will start at 10 o'clock in the forereon and will end at the Missouri building about 11 o'clock. The speeches will be made immediately after the parade. A reception and music programme will follow the ceremonies. ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN Determined Miscreants Placed Tles On the Tareck and Assaulted a Mail Clerk. An attempt to wreck the Wabash west-bound passenger train, near Sampsel, the first station west of Chillicothe, was frustrated by James M. Dunn, a rural mail carrier, after Dunn had been almost killed by the would-be wreckers. The Omaha train customarily passes through Sampsel at 1:48 o'clock in the morning, throwing off a mail sack there. A part of Dunn's duty is to meet the train and take charge of the mail. The train was about 30 minutes late, and Dunn, to keep warm, walked up the track east. A short distance from the station Dunn stumbled over some ties which had been laid across the track. As he fell two men jumped out of the bushes alongside the tracks and attacked him. One hit him on the head with a clutch and the other stabbed him several times in the chest. Dunn managed to escape from his assailants and ran to his home in Sampel, giving the alarm. His father and several neighbors hastened to the place where the ties were on the track and removed the ties in time for the train to go through in safety. They found a pick handle and a penknife on the track, which were evidently the weapons used by the wreckers in the attack upon Dunn. Dunn's worst knife wound is just above the heart, but his most serious injury is believed to be from the blow he received on the head. It is thought that he will recover. He is unable to give a description of his assailants. This is the second attempt within a year that has been made to wreck the Omaha train between Chillicothe and Sampsel. A Joke on the Editors. As the Northwest Missouri Press association was en route to St. Louis in a special car, W. E. Williams, a St Joseph newspaper man, entered the car with a mask over his face and an uploaded pistol and relieved the party of their valuables, afterward removing his mask and rejoining the party without detection. Practically all the editors wired home for money, but when they reached St. Louis Mr. Williams explained the joke and returned their belongings to them. Adjudged Guilty of Murder. Henry J. Heusack, charged with murdering his father-in-law, August Raphael, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in Judge McDonald's division of the circuit court in St. Louis. Strangers Fleeced by Gamblers. Two World's fair visitors were swindled out of $420 by gamblers in St. Louis county. Killed by a Street Car. Clarence Steinmeier, two years old, was killed by a Transit street car in St. Louis. Ejected the Peddler. Harry Organ and Andy Geschwinds were arrested at Clayton on complaint of David Madrich, a peddler, who says they kicked him down a flight of stairs. Found Dead in Bed. Daniel Lynch, aged 48 years, was found dead in bed at the Union hotel at St. Louis. Death is supposed to have resulted from natural causes.

The People's Choice for President. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. "The Good Old Summer Time." The good old summer time is at hand. The old fad of bicycle riding has begun. The girls tell their mothers that they are going to church, or to a friend's house, and slip around the corner, hire a man's bicycle, and proceed to take in the town. Some are so brazen that they go on streets where decent girls shouldn't be seen. If they are not racing around town, they hang over front fences, talking to bootblacks and saloon porters. Why not be a little more dignified? To Meet in Philadelphia. The general conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, which met in St. Louis, adjourned to meet in Philadelphia, in 1908. It was one of the most entertaining bodies that has met in St. Louis for years. The bearing of delegates was that of true men of God, and they left a lasting impression on the citizens of St. Louis. Rev. James Edward Mason, D. D., professor of sociology and political economy and financial secretary of of Livingstone college, Salisbury, N. C., who spoke with such power and eloquence at the Central Baptist church, and also the First Baptist church, is a member of the National Educational association and will speak here again in June.

Lawton avenue, Pine street, Lucas avenue, and Morgan street don't want you. You are not the kind of people that enhance good society. The Wright Cuney club meeting, last Wednesday, at the First Baptist church, was a success. Bishop Walters and Rev. A. J. Warner spoke words of truth. We want them again. Warning to Colored Girls and Women. The greatest stigma that can be attached to a young Colored girl's name is the accusation of intimate relations with a male member of the white race, and for this reason Colored girls and women should studiously avoid the slightest things that give color to such suspicions. There is continually heard whispering here and there concerning this, and usually this form of gossip is directed against those of excellent connections and high standing. This is the most bitter portion in the cup of trouble which the Negro man has to swallow. It oftimes loses for young girls good husbands and probably happy lives, and while they may remain within the pale of good society, because of the fact that the Negro code of social, ethics is not stringent enough, they have not the full confidence of their fellow-beings, but maintain their social positions through the spirit of tolerance, of which the Colored race is too greatly possessed. The Negro race is surely growing stronger morally, and toleration because of worldly possessions, good looks and fine clothes is gradually lessening. Our women should beware of all incriminating influences and conditions, and take particular pains to let it be known that they stand strictly on the Negro side of the fence.—From Hot Springs (Ark.) Weekly Echo. The above article meets with our hearty approval. The editor of the Weekly Echo feels about the matter as we do. The racial pride should be so inculcated into our women and girls that their virtue should be strenuously upheld, especially with one of the opposite race. Remember, we, as a race, do not occupy any too exalted a position in the estimation of the world, and we at least should not have the charge of immorality against our women. Wright Cuney Club Last Wednesday night the Wright Cuney club met at the First Baptist church, to listen to speaking from some of the emilant men of our race. The church was crowded, and all enjoyed themselves. Capt. C. H. Tandy, chairman; L. W. Veniger, secretary. The meeting was called to order by Capt. Tandy, and after speaking at some length, he introduced Rev. A. J. Warner, who spoke works of encouragement. Rev. R. M. Mason, of New York, and several others spoke. Bishop Walters, the foremost man now before the people, struck the keynote, and aroused the people to the sense of their duty in church and state. Wright Cuney club can at all times command the leading men of our race to speak. A vote of thanks was tendered to the many speakers. Death Ends Her Suffering Mrs. Victory Morgan, of 3019 Clark avenue, died May 3, and was buried on the 5th. She suffered much for the past two years, and months ago she was given up by the doctors, that her complaint was incurable. Then Mrs. Morgan rested her case, and rested upon the promises of our God. Last time we saw her she was resting on a sofa, waiting for the doctor to come and give her some remedy to ease her pain, but death was then hovering in that chamber, and on the 3d she was relieved of her suffering. She leaves a husband, one sister and many friends to mourn her loss. She had many white friends, who looked after her wants when she was in such poor health. May God bless them in their store-house. Negroes to Build Hall. Macon, Mo., May 14.—The board of directors of Western college, of which Dr. J. T. Caston, of Futon, Mo., is president, has announced that definite plans have been made for the building of an academic hall. The Western college is located in Macon, and is an institution founded for the education of the Negro Baptists of the west. The new building will be of brick and cost $25,000. What Is the Trouble?

If these were Colored women, they would have been resting in the workhouse or have been driven out of the city long ago. Since the opening of the Grand Central hotel they have been scattered from that corner; now they make the southeast corner of Pine street their hangout. We ask Mayor Wells, Chief Kiely, Detective Desmond and assistants to please disperse them. We thank Chief Desmond for his kindness in dispersing the young dudes who annoy our THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE OF THE UNITED STATES in area.

Some months ago we called attention of the common "nigger" habit of showing their heads out of windows. We again call the attention of the Colored people on Lawton avenue and Pine street and Lucas avenue and between Jefferson avenue and Beaumont street, to act a little decent, as this will soon be a drive from Fourth street to the World's fair. Why not keep those heads in? Why will you still act and do like common "niggers do when a band of music passes in the street, or a few common "nigger" boys and girls make a noise in the street. Why will you show your heads out, talking from window to window? Why not be a little decent, and if you have not got good behavior instilled in your head, why not try and act like somebody?

(Mark 10:35-45.) 55. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto Him, saying, Master, we would that Thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. 86. And He said unto them, What would we that I should do for you? 37. They said unto Him, Grant unto us that wm sit, one on Thy right hand, and the other on Thy left hand, in Thy glory. 38. But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask; can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with. 39. And they said unto them, We can. And let us be baptized. Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall ye be baptized. 40. But to sit on My right hand and on My left hand is not Mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 41. And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 42. But Jesus called them to Him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43. But so shall it not be among you; but whose will be great among you, shall be your minister. 44. And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45. For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.

It was Jesus' wish to walk alone. After walking, perhaps for hours, in this way, the Master called the Twelve to him again and told them for the third time of the end which was so near. "And there come near unto Him James and John:" We learn from Matthew that their mother was with them and that it was she who spoke for them. Their presumption is hard to understand, but it probably seemed less to them because of the relationship between the family of Jesus and their own. His mother and theirs were probably sisters. "Ye know not what ye ask:" "Jesus meets this bold petition as He met the scribe's offer of discipleship (Matt. 8:19, alming at disenchantment by pointing out what it involved."—Bruce. "Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink:" The cup was an emblem of man's lot; what God poured out for him. "We are able:" They probably had only the faintest conception of what their words meant, but they did mean to stand by the Master. "The cup. . . . ye shall drink:" They were good men and they did stand by Him. James was the first of the disciples to suffer martyrdom. Jesus honored them in speaking as He did, and His words could hardly be called a rebuke. "To but sit on My right hand ... is not Mine to give:" Jesus does not try to correct their material conception of the kingdom. He had tried to do that before—but devotes Himself to the more serious moral error, selfishness. "Is for them for whom it hath been prepared:" Chrysostom used as an illustration the case of two athletes who requested the judge to assign to them the laurel wreaths of victory. He replied: "It is not mine to give, but they belong to those for whom they are prepared." that is, those who win them in the prescribed way. "The ten . . . moved with indignation: " We do not wonder that they were angry, but it was partly because they had the same ambitions with James and John. "They who . . . rule over the Gentiles lord it over them. . . But it is not so among you: " It is not to be so among you. Selfsiness controlled in the non-Christian world; it was to be different in the kingdom of Christ. "Whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister: " Better, your servant as in R. V. margin. Greatness, then, is not counted by God as most of us count it even today. He is really greatest who serves most. "To give His life: " Not simply to lay down His life, but to devote it to the cause. This involved—and He knew that it would—His death. "A ransom for many: " "That through the giving of which many were to be delivered from the bondage of sin. It is most important to observe that in all this Jesus is setting forth Himself and His conduct as the pattern of life for His disciples. This whole verse is introduced for this very purpose: "—Burton and Matthews. RELIGIOUS TONIC. The curse cannot get beyond Calvary. In the light of love, the least may be the largest. No man can hold back the hands of God's clock. God is dark to some people, because they are on the wrong side of the pillar of fire. Sin's pleasures may be as bright as the lightning, but they are as brief and as baneful. You can no more blame your circumstances for your character, than your mirror for your looks—Ram's Horn. Alpine Glaciers Decreasing. Glaciers vary in length from year to year and apparently in cycles of years also, those of the Alps having shown a general diminution since 1850. An investigation of the changes of the Arctic glaciers has now been made by Ch. Rabot. There is no sign of a general retreat corresponding to that of the Alps, but in Greenland the ice is at present at a maximum and stationary. In Iceland there was a general increase in the eighteenth century, interrupted by a partial decrease. Then came a very extensive advance during most of the present century, a slight retreat—not comparable with that of the Alps—having begun in the north of the island about 1855-1860, and 20 years later in the south—Chicago Chronicle. Leve Vs. Jealousy. She—Possibly; but I sometimes doubt it. "Well, there's Mr. and Mrs. Gessing, for example. They have been married ten years, and they seem to never want to lose sight of each other. Doesn't that look like true and lasting love?" "It may be that, but it looks to me more like true and lasting jealousy."—Chicago News. American Warships. There are 60 modern steamships fit for cruising now available by the United States navy in case of war, exclusive of regular war vessels building or in commission, and there are rapid-fire guns enough to equip 15 of them within a week. These ships are the ocean liners and coast steamships carrying the American flag, and in a naval war they would be found decidedly useful. —Chicago Chronicle. Naphtha in Russia. The growth of the naphtha industry in Russia has been a rapid one. In 1870 the output of naphtha for the whole of Russia did not exceed 1,750,000 poods; in 1882 the yield was already more than 50,000,000 poods; ten years later, about 300,000,000 poods, and in 1894, 316,000,000 poods, of which 300,000,000 were obtained in the Baku government.—N.

Va., May 16—Many interesting discoveries are being made and many wonderful cures reported recently, but nothing has been seen or heard of in this state to equal the wonderful work of a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills. The people are very enthusiastic about it, for it seems that there is no case that this wonderful medicine cannot cure. Among many cases reported, that of Mr. Ash was the case, is conspicuous for its completeness. Mr. Ash was a great sufferer with Kidney trouble. He was gradually growing worse till at the last he was forced to get up three or four times every night. He had tried many medicines without any good result, but at last he found the right one in the box of Kidney Pills. He saved his box from Dodd's Kidney Pills did me more good than anything I took in my life." Now Mr. Ash is well and can sleep all night as comfortably as he ever could. Real Sport.

Her whole time is taken up in keeping engagements or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as systemic catarrh. This has also been called catarrhal nervousness. If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time, if they could realize the invigorating, strengthening effect that Peruna would have, how much misery could be avoided.

As this was out of the question for a time, I began to look for some other means of restoring my health. "I had often heard of Peruna as an excellent tonic, so I bought a bottle to see what it would do for me, and it certainly took hold of my system and rejuvenated me, and in less than two months I was in perfect health, and now when I feel worn out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all that I need."—Mrs. I.

In the early days of the evangeliza- tion of New Zealand there lived in Waikato a girl named Torere. Though only eight years old, she learned to read and to love a copy of St. John's gospel in Maiori, which she always begged to be allowed to carry with her. She was the aaughter of a chief named Ngakuku, who had become converted through the efforts of a missionary. Torere used regularly .to read aloud from her gospel in her father's tent. When the tribe became Christians they decided to take the good news to some of their friends in another part of New Zealand; and for this purpose Ngakuku organized a party of 15, the little mission band including Torere and her small brother. While halting for the first night, the smoke of their fires was seen by an unfriendly tribe on the warpath, who bore down upon them. Ngakukt, carrying his litle son on his shoulder, fled up the hill ‘with the others of his company. In the darkness and confusion, however, To- rere was forgotten; she lay asleep with her gospel under her head. When the war party found that the others had es- caped, they spent their fury on the lit- tle girl, who woke no more on earth. They carried off the small volume with the rest of the spoil. Some of its leaves were used for cartridge paper, but the greater part of the book eventually fell into the hands of a young Maori, who read it, and was so impressed by it that he ultimately became a Christian. Eventually that whole tribe became converted, When the chief of the tribe, Torere’s murderer, realized the sin he had been committing in taking the lives of his fellow creatures, among others the Iit- tle girl, he sent to his former enemy, Ngakuku, begging his forgiveness, and also asking permission to enter 2 chapel—not the chapel Ngakuku at- tended, but one in his own village. Without that man’s good will he felt he could not enter any Christian place of worship. And we are told, says F. Klickman, in S, S. Times, that the two men who at one time were at the fiercest enmity subsequently “were worshiping God together in the same piace.” Such were the far-reaching re- sults of a gospel In the hands of a Mao- iri child.

You cannot begin anything, you never did, Origination, ‘genesis, is God.—Campbell Morgan. ‘When a man thinks he {s the whole church he is apt to ignore tne Head of the Church—Ram’s horn. Contentment is sunlight, discontent- ment is starlight, maicontentment {s night—United Presbyterian. ‘A man does not have to go to Heaven by freight simply because he cannot express himself in meeting.—Ram’s Horn. When the Christian rises above such small details as telling the truth and dealing honestly God is going to let aim drop hard.—Ram’s Horn. No one need go down to eternal death who is able to turn round and go the other way; for the other way leads to eternal life—United Presbyterian. ss ak Chowan Sinful ambitions are like the balls of mow which the boys roll on the play- ground in the winter. They are cold and unsympathetic; and as they in- crease they gather up the dead grass, sticks, pebbles and whatever will ad- here to them; and finished they are ephermeral as the snow out of which they are formed.

SECRET OF JOYFUL LIVING. Sin Is the Discordant Note in a World of Gladness and Beauty— ‘Beaven Is Near. Tn a crowd of people, even among the most cultured, there are few faces that express joy, says H. M. McClusky, in Christian Work. Care and weari- ness, restlessness, and unsatisfied am- bition are unmistakably visible, and often when outward conditions seem the most favorable, the joyful life finds no expression; for it is an unknown experience. Yet all nature is full of gladness; a wonderfully beautiful worl has been prepared for man’s habitation. Why does he not rejoice in his possessions? He is out of har- mony, sin is the discordant note; but when by repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ he is at one with God, the discord resolves it- self into the sweet, rich chord of love. ‘Then there follows the triumphant ob- ligato of joy. ‘The accompaniment is not always perfectly harmonious, but the song goes on uninterrupted to the close. Is that true? The Psalmist says: “In Thy presence is fullness of joy.” The Lord’s presence is continually about us, believers willingly concede the fact. Why then is there not more joy? The life is based on a lower plane, instead of shaping it “according to the pattern that was showed in the Mount.” The belief of the heart is not worked out in the life. ‘there are many lovable Christians whose faith never falters when the heavier sorrows come, but do not see or recognize their Lord in the daily routine, either by seeking Him for hourly needs, or thanking Him for ever-present, numberless blessings, Christ gave the secret of joy when He said, “Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” It is a constant interchange of interests between the Father and His child. Because He is infinitely great and pow- erful, He is no less the loving, com- passionate One. A friend said to me: “Do you ask Him about such little things?” as though it were irreverent to speak to Him about the trivial bu’ absolutely essential details of daily hiv- ing. “For though the Lord be high. yet hath He respect unto the lowly;” that fact alone should fill us with joy. Study to live as in His presence; let all the surroundings as far as possible be in accord with a royal Guest and loving Friend. What a transformation there would be in most homes and lives if all pertaining to them were consciously given over to Him to ar- range; we executing as under His im- mediate supervision, without fear, fret- fulness or anxiety. There could be but one result, a full, abounding joy. Would it not be worth wiile to make the effort? It can only be attained by patient, persistent endeavor; begin- ning with the first moment in the morning, praying hourly to be kept consciously in the preserrce of Jesus our Lord. In such a life Heaven does not seem so far away and that homo is a part of Christ's established king- dom. WAYS OF FRIENDSHIP. The Reciprocal Relationship of Life Which Is a Blessing and a Benediction. Once know for a cartainty that your friendship is firmly established, and fet would you not do for a friend? ‘Yet, at the same time, I doubt if any ‘supreme friendship ean rest in simply once knowing, It is entitled ever and again to the joys of reassurance, for only by many infallible proofs does it come to its finest flower. Not that much is needed, so true is it, as some fone once said to Stevenson, that “the spirit of delight comes often on small wings.” A word, a look, a tone * * * just the merest intimation that your friend is stanch and true and mindful and you go on your way re- joicing. Indeed there are signal causes for rejoicing all along the line, since {f it may not be one joy, it may be another. Friendship is so preeminently a matter of the spirit that it can take a world of pleasure in simply “living over,” and yet it {s-enough of a philosopher to subsist on very little if it must, but only if it must. He who deliberately or thoughtlessly starves a friendship deserves to lose his friend. As for distance, it 1s powerless over it. You can be consciously near a friend though an ocean roll between you, and often with a certain insistent convic- tion that you are in the mind of your friend. ' ‘Another witness to the fact that “the spirit of delight comes often on small wings” 18, that one can take such sat- fsfaction in merely looking forward. “He that has something ayont need never be weary” runs the Scotch prov- erb; and though in friendship the something “‘ayont” be ever so little, {t will suffice to lead the spirit joyously on. One can fare through a round of commonplace days, rising with Indom- itable cheerfulness above a world of petty anxfeties and worries, if one knows that the future has a few su- preme hours or even moments in its keeping. And -then what serenity characterizes these established friend- ships! When you and your friend meet, there need be no eagerness es to what you have to tell or to hear. The benediction of a “God bless and keep you!” finding complete expression in a single earnest glance may suffice. But when one tries tc write of all the joys and inspirations, they seem to open out in a long, illumined vista, says Ruth Ogden, in Friendship. And it is because this is true, because of this never-failing power to cheer, in- spire and comfort, that any friendship is lifted from the ranks of the ordiaary to the ranks of the supréme, A World Wide Reputation. ‘Wherever men are there will be illness, and wherever people are ill Dodd's, Kid: ney Pills will be found blessing. | Solely on their merits have they pushed their way into almost every part of the civik ized world. ‘Their reputation as an hon- est-medicine that can always be relied on has been built up by the grateful, praise of those who have been cured. ‘The two following letters indicate just how the reputation of this remedy knows no geo- graphical bounds, ‘The sick and suffering all over the world are asking for Dodd's Kidney Pulls, Dear Sirs: é T have been suffering for some months from a Kidney complaint. ‘Lhe doctor who attended me recommended me to take four, “Dodd's Kidney Puls.” After, bvo yoxes I got some relief.

A man who found the reason says: “Formerly I was a slave to coffee. I was like a morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob- lins, would wake up with headaches ‘and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges- tion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc. ‘Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me.

I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster Coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ‘Tex days trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, re- freshing sleep.
