Finley was born in Evansville, Indiana, November 27, 1876. When he was twelve years of age, the family moved to St. Louis, where he completed the course at Summer High School. He then entered Depaup University and after spending a few years there, he entered the University at Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he remained until the demise of his beloved mother. Still atthirst for knowledge, he entered Howard University at Washington, D. C., for the study of medicine. After graduating in June, 1900, he began his practice in Denver, Colorado, where he practiced for one year. Leaving Denver, he came to St. Louis, where he was made superintendent of Provident Hospital. After spending a short time here, he went to Texarkana, Texas, which place he made his home; practicing four years until a short time before his death. He was married in 1902 to Miss Neilie Wilkerson, formerly a teacher at Banneker school, who was a loving and model wife. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, past chancellor in K. of P. and an Elk. He was 30 years, 4 months of age at the time of his death. He died March 27, '07 at 2 a. m. He leaves a father, Mr. J. W. Finley, Mrs. W. P.

Some of it fanciful; some of it ill-considered; is a deplorable fact that notwithstandacious, misleading and dangerous. It some malicious and some utterly failing community of interests and daily contact, the white people of today do not fully understand the Negro, and are, therefore, too ready to adopt opinions and entertain feelings that are dangerous to his peace and prejudicial to his prosperity. In order that we may know what the Negro can do and become, it is well to consider what he has done and is doing, and what he has become and is becoming through a generation of the most eventful time in the history of the world; he has been under the necessity of making his own way in the presence of a strong, conquering race, which won its freedom and achieved its civilization in its struggle and conquest of thousands of years, forty years ago he was emancipated. What use has he made of his liberty? What progress has he made in solving the problem of himself and his future? Has he moved forward or gone backward? Has he furnished grounds for hope, or reasons to despair of him? A few years ago the Negro's religion, politics and education could be easily told; but today, no man can safely say what he is by the color of his skin. We have a representation of what the Negro has wrought with his hand an dthought with his brain and aspired to be in his heart: I call to your attention what the Negro has accomplished as a farmer, as a mechanic, as a lawyer, as a doctor, as a poet, as a preacher and as a president and organizer of great industrial colleges; and as every race must work out its own destiny, all that the white man can do for him is to give him an opportunity and a fair chance, and in return the Negro should show his appreciation. And along this particular line I am proud to say that colored voters of this city are beginning to open their eyes and see their friends, and on the Second of April will cast their ballots for men rather than for measures, principles rather than parties. Never before in the history of St. Louis was the Negro so anxious to rebuke the party that is so busy praying for future favors that they have not got the time to pay of the Past Due obligations, and under the management of that brilliant political contortionist, Jephta D. Howe, introducing the greatest of all great farce comedies, entitled the "The Man from Mexico," I fear the Negro will be entirely overlooked. You will make no mistake by voting the Democratic city ticket on election day, because the men on that ticket are just and fair. They represent the party that has kept its promise to your race. The Democratic party has done for the Colored man in this city in the past six years than the Republican party did in a dozen years. We have a young man nominated in my ward, the 22nd, who is personally known to almost every colored voter in the ward, one who is at all times ready to stop and listen to your appeal; one who has never turned a deaf ear to his friends, be they black or white. Color cuts no difference with him, so cast your vote on the Second of April for HON. FRANK HUSSY. HOUSE OF DELEGATES and entire Democratic ticket, Thanking the Colored Voters of my ward for past favors regardless of party affiliations, I remain, Obeddently yours, W. H.

ADMISSION, 10c SEASON TICKETS, 25c A few facts that the Negro of the Twenty-Second Ward should know that they may be better prepared to vote next Tuesday in the local election through the influence of Mr. Lawler Daily a Democrat of the 22nd Ward, the Negroes have been able to place three foremen in the Street Department. Each have 32 men under them which gives an aevrage of about 96 colored old decepit men they also have 15 men placed in the block system. Daily and Hussy were both raised in this ward among the colored people. For this reason we ask that the Negroes of said Ward stand by your friends and do not let the empty promise of your would-be friend deceive you any more. Let the Negroes consider how they have treated many of their old and young men. If they will do this to the men who have always been loyal to the party, they will do it to you. IN MEMORIAM.

Native African Boys Given Practical Instruction by Missionary. The Gospel and educational and Industrial advancement go hand , in hand, and ZA missionary effort [FAI everywhere is di- ABFA rected to the CZF) practical uplifting zy of humanity. Al- most the first Sl thing that the = missionary seeks to establish on reaching his sta- KSSS tion is some sort [SSS ot schoot for the SS children, and = there is no more MEARNING A interesting or en- S of missionary work than that which is done among the boys and girls. Rey. Herbert C. Whit ney, in charge of the Methodist Episcopal mission station in the Angola highlands, Portuguese West Africa, writes of this branch of his work to the Christian Herald of his work to the Christian Herald as follows: é “Our work has developed an indus- trial school of boys, bound of their own free will to the mission by writ: ten contract for a term of years, to work for just their food and clothes, go to school and learn a trade, and later be furnished with such tools as they should need to follow the trade they had learned. Work of this kind commands a respect from the natives that teaching and preaching alone would not do; and the confidence that is shown when boys or their parents come, as they now do, and beg for entry into such a department, has been won only after a long period of suspicion, aloofness, and even re proach.” RRO. Mees enrere Fine ee ee ‘A very extraordinary measure for the stimulation of missionary interest locaily has been undertaken by a small group of Christian men at Dan- ville, Ill, who have organized them- selves into a committee which hides their personal identity under the title “Friends of Missions.” This com- mittee purchased a full page of ad- yertising space in the Danville Daily Democrat, whereon they printed in large type the whole of Dr, Samuel B. Capen’s “Twentieth Century Call to Men,” in which the character of the lately organized laymen's missionary movement is carefully described. A strong letter from the committee, printed in the same issue, further enforced the call. Not content with this publicity, the committee mailed marked copies of the paper to a specially se- lected list of well-to-do church mem- bers in both town and country through all the surrounding region. And to this they added a series of excellently worded and keen-pointed: “follow-up” letters. As a piece of aggressive mis- sionary campaigning this endeavor is worthy. not only commendation but emulation. ‘tee oninns Gopadiidation Ettected, ‘The couSolidation of the two branch- es of the Young Women’s Christian association so long separated in this country has been at length perfected, and ideally harmonious relations are established. Miss Grace H. Dodge, who at the request of both negotiating committees presided as impartial arbi- trator during the period of working out the plans for union, has now been elected permanent president of the ex- ecutive committee of the united asso- cfattons. ‘The committee has its head- quarters at New York, occupying a suite at the Montclair, home of Dr. White's Bible Teachers’ Training schoo]. There are 20 members of the committee resident in New York—ten in other cities. The organ of the movement will be a testeful and sprightly magazine whose first num- ber has just appeared—The Associa- tion Monthly. igh aa ae Sinem as Some pithy sayings of Mrs. Sophie, a woman evangelist, now laboring among the miners of Wilkesbarre, Pa., have reached us. Here are a few: “The Lord don’t cast your sins behind your back one day, and the next day cast them up to the front of your face, like some hunian beings.” “phe serpent is pretty wise. He fool- ed old Eve, and there are loté of Eves and Adams in the world since.” “When I was converted I know I was there; that’s the most important part.” “Religion is a thing of the head, and salvation’s a thing of the heart.” Rev. Dr. J. @ A. Henry Back. ‘After more than five years of tem- perance and evangelistic work in Great Britain, Rev. J. Q. A. Henry has returned to this country to do evangelistic service. He is accom. panied by his singer, Mr. J. R, Hem- minger. During Dr. Henry's stay in Great Britain he has conducted 150 missions in practically all the large towns and cities of the United King. dom, has addressed more than 3,000,- 000 people, and taken 135,000 total abstinence pledges.

FINLEY It must have been very sad indeed for the loving father, J. W. Finley, who had set his heart on his only boy, Dr Walter P. Finley, to see him pass into the great beyond, after having done all he could to fit young Finley for a prosperous, useful life. On the second of March the Palladium noticed the success of Dr. Finley in Texarkana, Texas and noted the fact paying him a compliment. The next issue the Palladium noticed the fact that Dr. Finley had been sick but was convalescent. This news was announced, yet that loving father, who was in continuous communication with him went to Texarkana, Texas, and brought his son to this city, arriving here last Saturday, March 23, but no change of state or climate could stop the death angel, who on last Wednesday entered the chamber of the young man and bade him accompany Him to his Maker. Thus the young man, though not in the prime of life, bade a loving wife, father and other relatives and friends a long, fond farewell. Although a young man, he had achieved much in his profession in the southland. When the progress of young Finley reached his father, I know it made his heart leap for joy; but when we least expect it, when we are achieving victory on every hand, when wife, father and other relatives and friends seem to think that our aspirations are still aspiring, we fall like autumn leaves to enrich our mother earth. May God heal the wounded hearts of the loving wife, father and other relatives and bid them trust in Him that doeth all things well. The bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of the Palladium. Saunders of Carthage, Mo., was acquitted for the killing of Dr. S. P. Meredith. In Carthage the jurors based their ideas on the unwritten law. It must be maintained for this is the only way that the society of our homes will be maintained from the black-guards. We are for the principle of the party and not men. If men leave the principle of party, then we should do the next best thing. Let it alone so say Williams and Walker. Vote for a One-Fifth mill tax for the Art Museum. --- There must be a diversion in the Negroes of St. Louis. We care not where the chips may fly. If mothers and fathers who care for their daughies would listen to someone. Girls who are of marriageable age should keep company outside of jail-birds and Negroes whose pictures are in the rogue's gallery, and those who have been inmates of the work house, and penitentiary. There is some excuse for men who in the heat of passion gets in a fight with his fellow-men, and goes to the penitentiary, but for stealing, no man should be considered in the society of respectable Negroes after he has served a term in the workhouse or penitentiary or has his picture in the rogue's gallery, and has escaped the clutches of the law, by some technical point and yet they come to St. Louis Negroes and are respected as gentlemen. This should not be, the mother and father ought to draw the line on such cattle and put the mark of condemnation upon them. Just as long as they are tolerated, so long will the Negro of St. Louis fail to understand the difference between this caste of men and women. When you vote, vote right. Vote for the Art Museum, this vote does not increase your taxes in any way, but will give poor persons an opportunity to see the arts in Forest Park. When you vote see that you scratch out the word against on One-Fifth mill tax for the Art Museum. Don't vote until you know your ticket is correctly marked. All who vote this will show your interest for the Art Museum. This will not increase the taxes on your property. First Baptist Church ews. Rev. R. H. Cole preached at each service last Sunday. The different clubs are working earnestly to raise the two thousand dollars that is expected of them on the fourth Sunday in April. The Sunday school has made much preparation for Easter, hence it is expected that a large crowd will be out next Sunday to take part in the exercise. The choir under the leadership of Madam M. A. Gilree will render a special song service next Sunday morning and night. Mrs. Gilree promises to make it the best that were ever heard there before. Mrs. Mattie B. Benford of 3937A Fairfax avenue, a lady of rare talent and accomplishment, will sing a solo in the B. Y. P. U. meeting next Sunday at 5:30 p. m. The B. Y. P. U. will have a special programme Sunday at 5:30 p. m., and serve free ice cream at the close of the meeting. The public is invited. Several entertainments were given this week by the different clubs at the residents of the members, and from all reports they had a success. The church will be nicely decorated Sunday morning, which indeed, ought to charm the inner man to the effect that there are greater things beyond. Members, you ought to rise early Sunday morning and get out to church for the good Lord promises to meet you there, hence, you must go there with a clean heart, a heart full of love and kindness, and you will receive everlasting blessings. KINLOCH PARK. Mr. W. T. M. Brown of Raccoon, Indiana, was here on a short business trip and spent a few days with his mother, Mrs. Louise Brown of Kinloch Park. He was entertained royally by his many friends and departed Monday, March 25 for Raccoon, where he will remain all summer. Walter Brown, the son of Mrs. Grant Edmonds is still in the hospital. We hope he will be out soon and he is greatly missed at home. The Kinloch Mission Circle held their regular meeting March 24, '07. Lesson was read by Rev. J. Armstead from the 16th chapter of Mark. The mission sermon was preached by Rev. Grant Edwards. Prayer offered by Rev. S. A. Lewis. Rev. Edwards said many good things concerning mission work. It is improving and a large attendance was noted. Notice! Notice!

The Negro men and girls point out a line that they will go to in the future. Easter Sunday, the Knights Temples will appear. Watch out for two Niggers whose names are in the dead treat society. Members of the Church of Christ keep out of politics for you will get fleas on you. Instruct your people in your churches so. When young Negroes both men and girls will work as faithful for a Negro as they will for a white person, times will be better for them. The La Salle St. girl has more paint and powder on her face and tries to look pretty while waiting to telephone to to — well you know. Oh, yes, she has come back and she was in company with the barber. She was looking as sweet as a peach. Mrs. Mabel Lee (nee McCoy.) When you hear a girl say she wants to be something and then her ideas are not above a boot-black, such a girl is wrong in the upper story. E. A. Billups is a candidate for the dead beat society. He formerly lived at 4279, 4348 and 419 St. Ferdinand Avenue. At one place he had a wife. Wait for the history of this man. The Negro girls who have passed through the s chools, should keep company with their equals. Mothers and fathers, have wasted their time if you can look no higher than a boot-black. The thief, Hurley Carr, who stole sixteen hundred dollars from Mr. Chas. P. Senter, has been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary in Jefferson City. There are others on the string who should be there soon. Why Mr. Wheeler I am glad to see you on crutches. I looked at the dear old girl and said wouldn't it have pleased you better to have seen Russell or Gordon giving me a long ride. Oh, oh, I meant I meant. The dear old girl was dum-founded. Abraham Lincoln Lee, was in the barbershop last Sunday morning. As the Palladium man came in, he was the happiest Nigger in the bunch. He told the Palladium man that he did not give a D—about his name appearing in the dead heat society—for that is the way he kept up appearance with his family, in beating everybody that he can. Strange indeed when Negro men dress and spend money like lords; then you know something is wrong. The Negro valet, Hurley Carr, who stole from his good master, Mr. Chas. Senter was a most ungrateful Negro, and you Negroes who kept company with him knew that things were not right. We Are Up Again and Propose to Get Busy. Are the churches and Masonic lodges doing their duty to their old and faithful member, one Moses, a member of Prince Hall lodge and also of First Baptist church? He has been blind for several years, he is now living at 1534 N. 18th street. I have seen him and judging from his appearance, the church and lodge are doing nothing for him. One sweet and very pretty girl said to us well "What can I do for you? I looked at her very sweetly and said, "I want to collect 80c for the paper." "Oh, I thought I did not have to pay anything for the paper." I asked her why she thought that, did you think that your pretty face entitled you to the Palladium? "Oh well, I will pay it soon and don't send the paper any more." I said, "alright, my dear." At that I bade her adieu Marriages.

She will not return home this summer. We wish her much success. Mr. Ira Cooper is doing good work. He received a case of theft of $1,600 where other detectives failed. The valet Carr is a bad Negro from start to finish. This same Carr held a big haud with the girls of his class. A. W. Wilkerson the detective is about doing good work. My advice to them is, Get these bad Negroes from among us; put them on the Rock Pile or get their mugs in the rogue's gallery and the Palladium will do the rest. Mr. George Edwards of 3032 Lambdin avenue, died very suddenly January 21. He leaves a wife, three daughters, and a host of friends to mourn his loss.

Oh, how ungrateful some persons are. Birds have nests and foxes have holes, but the son of man has no place to lay his head. Will some of the persons who caused her to leave her home tell us something. We are up again.

To the Editor of the Palladium: TO THE EDITOR OF THE PANDAUM: I desire to note through the columns of your paper the condition of our church and Sunday school, which is progressing nicely under the pastorate of Rev. E. S. Redd. Miss Delia Henderson is superintendent of the Sunday school. The B. Y. P. U. was recently organized by the pastor, with Mrs. Chiora Denny president. The Mission Circle, with Mrs. G. S. Robinson president, is progressing nicely. The sewing circle also an auxiliary of the church, is doing good work with their excellent president in the person of Mrs. Vina Walker. The church is engaged in a revival meeting, conducted by the Rev. W. H. Davis of Western College and the pastor. We are glad to say that there is much good being done, many souls being brought to Christ. Rev. Davis is an excellent revivalist. Sunday, March 17 was spent in humble devotion. Sunday morning in early twilight meeting, Mr. Chris Harvey was happily converted and Sunday evening Mr. Leonard Griffin. We can say with assurance that God was with us in those services. Sunday at 11 o'clock service the pastor preached a noble sermon from Phil. 3:20 verse. Theme: Heavenly Citizenship. There was quite a large attendance and all seemed much impressed. Sunday evening 7:30 Rev. Davis preached a soul stirring sermon to a large audience from St. John, 11-39 verses.

Australia now ranks second among the great sheepraising countries, Argentina being first with 92,000,000 sheep, Australia second with 72,000,000, and Russia third with 70,000,000. Only a few years ago Australia was first, possessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Australian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Australia. They were first introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish merino species. er seeds ..... 15c Total ..... $1.00 All for 12c postpaid in order to introduce our warranted seeds, and if you will send 16c we will add one package of Berliner Earliest Cauliflower, together with our mammoth plant, nursery stock, vegetable and farm seed and tool catalog.

"Josiah," said Mrs. Chugwater, "this paper speaks of Mr. Ustler as a 'promoter.' What's a promoter?" "You oughtn't to ask such a simple question as that," answered Mr. Chugwater. "It comes from two Latin words: 'pro,' meaning for, or in favor of, and 'motor,' meaning automobile. A promoter is a person that's in favor of automobiles. Get the idea?"

TWO YEARS IN BED TWO YEARS IN BED Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Stubborn Rheumatism When Other Treatment Gave No Relief. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been curing the most stubborn cases of rheumatism for nearly a generation and thousands of grateful patients have given testimony that cannot be ignored. Mr. Robert Odbert, a machinist, living at 201 Cameron Street, Detroit, Mich., had a very distressing experience with rheumatism for about two years. He makes the following statement: "About the year 1887 I felt the effects of rheumatism which gradually grew worse until I was compelled to give up work for a time. The years of 97 and 98 I was confined to my bed most of the time. I was under doctors' treatment but found no relief. My legs were swollen from the hip downward and red blotches appeared all over them. Frequently they pained me so that I had to bind them tightly with strips of linen. This sometimes relieved the pain but at other times failed to do so. At times I had to crawl to my work, using two crutches. During these spells I suffered greatly from pain around my heart which I at tributed to the rheumatism. "At last my mother wrote me and asked me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did and in a short time I found myself getting better and have had no trouble since. I may here add that I consider myself perfectly cured. I have not had the least sign of the disease since and feel better now than I ever did. For these reasons I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any one affected the same as I was." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores, or sent by mail, postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. Y. 5 The Meaning of Easter By Rev. William Byrne. (Catholic Vicar-General Archdiocese of Boston.) ASTER Sunday is the day on which the church commemorates the resurrection of our Lord from the dead. . . By raising Himself from the dead, Christ triumphed over all His enemies, and gave the most convincing proof of His divinity. He foretold His resurrection. "The Son of Man shall be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matt. xii, 40.) Speaking of the temple of His body, He said: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (John ii, 19.) "On the third day He shall rise again." (Matt. xx, 19.) "I lay down my life that I may take it again. I have power to lay it down and take it up again." (John x, 18.) The resurrection of Christ was a ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` The Hope, Memory and Reality of Easter By Rev. Albert Parker Fitch. (Of the Congregational Church.) THE Resurrection, which we celebrate on Easter day, means one of two things to most people. It is either a memory or a hope. To the young into whose souls the wise years have not ground their experience of pain, their proof of the utter unreasonableness and malignant cruelty of life, if this life here were all, to them Easter is a far-off fading memory which has no especial significance for to-day. Jesus' resurrection is an infinitely remote event, a magical wonder. It occurred under other skies, in a distant land, amid a wormout and forgotten civilization. To be sure there is historical evidence for it, but they accept it, if they accept it at all, with about as much vividness of perception as they accept the death of Alexander or the assassination of Julius Caesar. Then, to older men and women, the resurrection is not so much a memory as a hope. It is a hope born of a desperate necessity. We remember little children who sleep in tiny graves to-day and our hearts demand that they be Easter graves. We remember great souls, passed on now, The Question Answered By the Resurrection + By Rev. Reuben Kidner. (Of the Episcopal Church.) HE meaning of the resurrection is that it confirms the belief in the immortality of the soul, which all mankind everywhere have held. Socrates, just before the end, says to his friends: "But that which I some time since argued at length, that when I have drunk the poison I shall no longer remain with you, but shall depart to some happy state of the blessed." On an ancient Greek tomb we read: "Mother, leave thy grief, remembering the soul which Zeus has rendered immortal and decaying to me for all time, and has carried now into the starry skies." This is another Greek utterance: "Dying, thou art dead! thou art An E + ```markdown ``` An Easter Day Out of the tomb of night a day has risen; be not anxious, this day is all your own; do not hurry, for in time it is like all other days; neither delay, for NOW is passing. Early turn your face to the dawn and let its fresh beams bathe away all the stains of night, then should the noon be dark with storms, your smile will still wear the rose tints of the morning. This new day can be saved only by spending it; therefore, in its care be enduring; in its confusion be patient; in its sorrow be trustful; in its trial be noble; in its peril be heroic. Step softly among human hearts and leave so much of kindness along life's pathway, that gladness shall spring up bearing tribute in the cool eventide of the world's glad Easter. A miracle; that is, something beyond the power of any created being to effect. Christ by His divine power recalled His soul to His body, and arose from the tomb glorious and immortal. He appeared frequently to His apostles and disciples after His resurrection; and to cure the doubling mind of St. Thomas, allowed him to touch the wounds. The true significance of this festival is well expressed in the gradual and sequence of the Easter liturgy. "This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad. Christ, our Pasch, is immolated." "Let Christians offer praise to the Paschal victim. The Lamb has redeemed the flock. The sinless Christ has reconcilled sinners to his Father. Death and Life waged a wondrous conflict. The Lord of Life by dying lives and reigns." The resurrection of Christ is the model of our spiritual regeneration and the pledge of our immortality. William Dymond is to whom we gave our worship in our youth. We have lived beside them and seen their deathless effort, their far-reaching aspiration, their virtue, strength, wisdom, power, light—all the persistent heroism of the soul. And then, when the highest station had been reached, when the noblest song was quivering at last upon their triumphant lips, we've seen it all end. Virtue, strength, wisdom, power, light, all vanished! Nothing left but dust to dust, ashes to ashes, rottenness to mother earth. And, seeing all this, the resurrection is not a fading memory to such souls, O, no! it stands for a desperate hope. There must be something beyond. Somewhere, sometime these shall live again. But to the Christian, to that happy man whom Jesus has found, the resurrection is not a memory and not a hope; he forgets both of these in his joy in its present reality. The Easter assurance of immortality is not a far-off promise, it is a present gift; not a future hope, but an immediate possession. For God has come into him and taken possession of him, and he is living for the things of God in the eternal light and power of God, and he is already one of the immortals. gone to a happier country. And in the isles of the blest thou rejoicest, and thou shalt not hunger or thirst any more. Yes, and thy gods are thy light, and glory is ever upon thee." Thoughts like these occupied the minds of the blest and wisest long before the Christian era. Intimations of immortality abound in all literatures. The resurrection is not a bolt out of a clear sky. It is rather a stage in a process of evolution. It builds upon that which has gone before. It adds to what is already known. It confirms what was surmised. It gives form and shape to shadowy, but persistent and indestructible hopes and longings. The thought of the ages prepared the way for belief in the resurrection, and, when it happen, millions were ready to believe. ```markdown ``` DELMER EUGINE & ROFT QUARTERLY REVIEW SCRIPTURE READING.-Psalm 104.

Lesson Comment. The resurrection of our Lord and his ascension are linked as parts of one great miracle, descending from the highest heavenly level to the lowest human level; then back from the grave of a malefactor to the throne of universe (Phil. 2:5-11; Rom. 6:1-11; Col. 2:9-13, 3:1; Eph. 1:19-23). His resurrection and ascension are typical of the believer's new life and height of privilege. The new life dates not from his cross, but from his tomb. In him the believer died, "buried with him by baptism unto death," risen with him that "like as, even so," etc. (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12-13). The resurrection is the signal for the reception of the Holy Spirit as the spirit of life (Rom. 8:2). Hence the first outbreathing of the Spirit immediately followed the resurrection (John 20:22). Pentecost emphasizes the spirit of power for work and witness (Acts 1:8). The resurrection is the putting off of the "old man," and the putting on of the "new man" (Eph. 4:22, 24; Col. 3:8-14), which implies also a new attire. We are supposed to have sloughed off the sinful habit of our past life, as Christ left his grave clothes in the tomb. The Greek words imply that he was tightly "wound up" and "bound about" with these linen wrappings, with a hundred pounds of spices scattered in the folds; and that when he rose he left these wrappings undisturbed in their original convolutions. (Cf. John 11:43, 44; 19:39, 40; 20:6.8.) We are supposed also to put on supernatural attire. After Christ rose, his robes seem to be miraculously provided. The resurrection implies a grand miracle. To rise from the dead is entire reversal of natural law. To ascend from earth is to contravene gravitation. The believer, by this new principle, leaves the place and state of death, and rises by Divine power to an experience in the heavenlies (Eph. 1:3). —Rev. Dr. S. T. Plierson, in Record of Christian Work. Three natural laws are all contravened in grace: 1. Out of death no life. 2. Degeneration knows no regeneration. 3. Gravitation reigns universally. On the other hand, in Christ: 1. Death is the way to life. 2. Regeneration displaces degeneration. 3. Levitation overcomes gravitation. Plan Big London Meeting. The diamond jubilee celebration of the Evangelical alliance will take place in connection with the eleventh international conference of the alliance in London, England, July 3-8.

CLAIMS TO CURE ALL ILLS. Scotch Minister Announces Discovery of Remarkable Germicide. A claim of an astounding nature is put forward by a minister whose field of work lies within the bounds of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. He has discovered a germicide by the application of which he can cure every kind of infectious, loathsome, and incurable disease, even when considered, humanly speaking, hopeless. He has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that hospitals for infectious diseases are quite unnecessary, and that surgical operations except on the battlefield or in railway or other accidents, are totally uncalled for. No operation is needed, according to him, for appendicitis, for example, as it can be perfectly well cured by the germicide. The discoverer of the germicide has published a list of the names of 50 patients, with their addresses, whom he says he has cured, or is in process of curing, even in some cases, after they had received their "death warrant" from medical practitioners. FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep- Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. "I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch though the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching. After uslug the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now. Edward Worell, Bard 30th U. S. Infantry, Fort Crook, Nebraska." Wages Good "Smellers" Earn. There are several trades which provide men and women with good living simply because they enjoy an exceptionally keen sense of smell, says the London World. Scentmakers, for example, need some one with a very delicate sense of smell to aid them in mixing the ingredients of perfumes in proper proportions. Queen Alexandra's favorite perfume — violet—costs £10 per ounce bottle, and it has to run the gauntlet of five professional "smellers" before it is passed as being correctly blended and ready for her majesty's use. Some of the leading firms of perfume makers pay their "smellers" from £4 to £7 a week. Contractors for the lighting of streets, large public buildings and pleasure grounds very often engage "smellers" to find escapes of gas, one shilling being generally paid for each escape reported. Some of these men frequently make over £3 in a single week, the result being that in many cases the fee has been reduced to 9d. per escape reported. New Danger for Burglar. New Danger for Burglar. A phonographic device that will call the police by telephone adds a new hazard to the dangers of the burglar's profession. When an attempt is made to force a window or door with which the proper connections have been made an electric current operates a phonograph in the garret. The machine calls up central and asks for the police station. The phonograph then informs the officers of the robbery, giving street and number, and repeats this information as long as the receiver is down. Meantime, the intruder, all unconscious that an alarm has been rung in, virtually walks into a trap, and if the call is promptly responded to is soon in the lockup. GOOD NATURED AGAIN. Good Humor Returns with Change to Proper Food. "For many years I was a constant sufferer from indigestion and nervousness amounting almost to prostration," writes a Montana man. "My blood was impoverished, the vision was blurred and weak, with moving spots before my eyes. This was a steady daily condition. I grew ill-tempered, and eventually got so nervous I could not keep my books posted, nor handle accounts satisfactorily. I can't describe my sufferings. "Nothing I ate agreed with me, till one day I happened to notice Grape-Nuts in a grocery store and bought a package, out of curiosity to know what it was. "I liked the food from the very first, eating it with cream, and now I buy it by the case and use it daily. I soon found that Grape-Nuts food was supplying brain and nerve force as nothing in the drug line ever had done or could do. "It wasn't long before I was restored to health, comfort and happiness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts food my digestion had been restored, my nerves are steady once more, my eyesight is good again, my mental faculties are clear and acute, and I have become so good-natured that my friends are truly astonished at the change. I feel younger and better than I have for 20 years. No amount of money would induce me to surrender what I have gained through the use of Grape-Nuts food."

That Is the Story of a Michigan Farmer Who Lives in Western Canada. Olds, Alberta, Dec. 10, 1906. Mr. M. V. Molnnes, Detroit, Michigan. Mr. M. V. McInnes, Detroit, Michigan: Dear Sir and Friend—It will be four years next May since I came to Olds, and have lived here ever since. Since I came here wheat has run from 25 to 45 bu. per acre, oats from 65 to 115, that I know of. I raised that last year, 115 bu. to the acre of the finest oats I ever saw, and oats that I sowed 31st day of May this year went $72\frac{1}{2}$ to the acre and weighed 41 lbs. to the bushel. My barley went 40 bu. last year and 50 this year, and was not sown until the latter part of May. I had 3 acres of potatoes this year and sold 700 bushels and put 275 bu. in the cellar, and no bugs to pick We have a fine Government Creamery at Olds. Our cows made $41 per head and I didn't feed any grain; only prairie hay, so you see we are doing well. We have the patent for our homestead now and am very thankful that we came to Alberta. We have made a little over $1,000 each year besides making our living. I would not go back to Michigan to live for anything. If I had my choice of a ticket to Olds or a 40-acre farm in Michigan I would take the ticket and in two years I could buy any of them 40-acre farms. This is the country for a poor man, as well as a man with money. I will close, thanking you for our prosperity, I remain yours truly. (Signed) OTTO YETTING Olds, Alberta, Canada. Box 159.

New York Women Have Surmounted Great Obstacle. Marvelous as it may seem, New York women have lately discovered a way of fastening their waists up the back without calling for assistance. Thought not lacking in generosity, they became so tired of the outstretched palm of the chambermaids that they now feel that it is time to guard their pockets. The Gotham woman discovered that if she put her blouse on hind side before, with the sleeves hanging free, it could be fastened from top to bottom, with the exception of the hooks at the neck, and then turned around and the arms slipped into the sleeves without unduly straining the fastenings. So simple! So strange that no one had thought of it before. Or is it possible other women have used the plan and meanly kept it to themselves? Will the waist that buttons in the back now have a new lease of life? DURING THIS MONTH. Excellent Advice Which Our Readers Will Benefit By.

FOUND HE COULD MAKE TIME. One Call for Physician That Met with Quick Response. Life is such a constant rush to a well-known physician that to secure a little recreation he has recourse to ruses. A visitor called one night, and began a speech to the servant: "I want the doctor to come over as quickly as he can." "He can't do it!" the servant answered. "He left orders that he was so busy that unless it was absolutely a matter of life and death he couldn't go out at all this evening." "But," said the caller, "it isn't illness at all." "What then?" "We want him to come over and take a hand in a game of whist." "Oh, that's different." The servant disappeared, and reappeared a moment later. "The doctor says he'll be over in ten minutes, sir," he announced. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Like Monka' Chartreuse Best. Chartreuse, the liqueur of the Carthusian monks, was the invention of an aged baker. On the expulsion of the Carthusian fathers from France the Chartreuse receipt was sold at auction for $1,750,000.

Rosenthal, the Pianist, Made Much Trouble in Hotel. Rosenthal, the pianist, is one of those entitled to have his crankiness termed "the eccentricities of genius," says the San Francisco Chronicle. When he inspected his rooms at the Majestic upon his arrival very late the other night, he went softly to the adjoining doors, and placing his ears close to the cracks, exclaimed in broken English, "Zgodd, no sounds pass thees." After nodding his approval of the grand piano and the furniture he frowned at the tan-colored window shades. "Must be green." He was assured that a change would be made especially for him the next day. At five o'clock in the morning Rosenthal, clad only in his pajamas, came scurrying excitedly down stairs and into the office, where the drowsy night clerk was nodding at the desk. "Ze street cars! Noise! Must stopped! Nervous me! I cannot sleep." The clerk hurriedly sent for Manager Gustav Mann, and Mann spent two hours telling Rosenthal funny stories in German trying to divert his mind while the clerk was upstairs squaring the management for waking a guest on the Gough street side and ordering him to move at once to the Sutter street side as a gas pipe had burst under the floor and had to be repaired!

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has made me a well woman so that I am able to attend to my duties. I wish every suffering woman would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and see what relief it will give them."

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that sences Cataract. It is a serious disease of the eye. Cataract. Heal's Cataract Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Cataract being a constitution disease, require Cataract surgery. The patient is taken internally, setting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the eye. Cataract surgery is the strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer Cataract surgery to that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which it is compounded upon the ingredients used. First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopoeia has its special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined. It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE. In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years' experience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists. WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEM-SELVES. The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together to give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way a medical compound can be made of real value. ALL WOMEN SUFFER from the same physical disturbances, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drift them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, organic troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements, or perhaps irregularity or suppression causing backache, nervousness, irritability, and sleeplessness. Women everywhere should remember that the medicine that holds the record for the largest number of actual cures of female illis is Vegetable Compound herbs.

Dr. Duvail delivered his farewell sermon at the morning service to the delight of a well filled house, at the close of the service the congregation went direct to Central Baptist Church, where the pastor baptized the converts. We shall ever remember the cordial welcome tendered us by Rev. Dr. Stevens and the members of Central Baptist church. Rev. Dr. Crushon, pastor of Fifth Baptist church deserves our most favorable mention for his kindness in furnishing us with his baptising suit. This splendid man of God has assured us again and again that himself and church are always glad to lend a helping hand in a good cause. Rev. Dr. Venerable and the members of Compton Hill church, are also among the liberal, hearted people that have shown us favors in time of need. They tendered us the use of their pool for our first baptizing. Rev. E. C. Cole will leave the city Monday night for Savannah Ga., where he will spend some time with Rev. Dr. May, pastor of Second Baptist church. Dr. May was formerly pastor of Corinthian Baptist church of St. Louis, but he is now in charge of one of the largest churches in the South. We hope our friends will be present Sunday, 31st inst., morning and evening and enjoy with us the Easter music that have been prepared by the choral society under the leadership of Prof. Patterson.
