Dear Sir-Your medicines, Golden Medical Dis

the greatest service to me- Six months ago no one
thought that could possibly live long had COM

eruptions and great blotches on my head that made
such sores that could not have my hair combed
without causing me much suffering; also causing
swollen glands tonsils enlarged enlarged or "thick
neck" and large and numerous boils also suffered
from terrible Chronic Catarrh and in tact was SO
diseased that life was a burden to me- L had tried
many doctors with no benefit l finally procured
one-half dozen bottles of your Golden Medical Dis
covery and one dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
commenced their use. AT first was badly discour
aged, but after taking four bottles of the Discovery
began to improve, and when had taken thelremain-
applied solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick
neck, as you advise in pamphlet wrapping, and it
entirely disappeared. Your Discovery Is certainly
the most wonderful blood medicine ever invented.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Bailey & Noyes,
GENERAL AGENTS
Chickering & Sons
PIANOFORTES
Submit the following facts to
those who contemplate buying
PLANO, trusting that a more COM
plete knowledge Of the superior
advantages possessed by the
CHICKERING manufacturers will
help to decide all purchasers who
want the best. -'
1. The Chickering Pianos have been exhibited in
competition with the pianos Of every well known
maker in the world, and in every instance ~ithoat
single exception, have been awarded Honors and
Prizes in advance of all Competitors.
2. Nearly Fifty Thousand Chickering Pianos have
been manufactured and sold. Last year Chickering
& Sons manufactured and sold more Pianos by sew
eral hundred than any other frst-cass piano maker
in the United States.
8. Chiekerng & Sons Factory is the largest piano
mandatory in the world.
a. All the Vital Points of improvement in all
Pianos now made in America were first introduced
| by Chickering & Sons, and subsequently copied or
initiated by all other makers in the country without
| exception.
5. Every part of the Chiekering Piano is made in
the Chckerng Factory Except, Of course, the hard
ware used in the pianos which is purchased by every
maker) and the immense force of skilled artisans
employed is, and always has been under the personal
| supervision of Chickering & Sons. Chickering &
Sons being the largest manufacturers in the world
and having the first reputation, have not only been
able to employ the best men in the various branches
of manufacture, but they have been caused positive
inconvenience at times by the number Of applications
for employment from the best w0rkmen of other
makers.
6. A piano is usually a purchase Of a lifetime,
therefore great care should be used in selection
'The Best is the Cheapest Buy Of house whose
representations be believed and whose business
to-day, at the end OF tythre years of unexampled
prosperity, is larger than that of any other maker
and whose pianos are endorsed as The Best by the
| International Expositons of France and England,
and by the unanimous testimony Of the most noted
| Art Institutions and Artists Of the World.

Lapsed Presbyterians.

The Liverpool Presbyterian folks are get
ting to work in a thoroughly earnest manner.
A largely-attended meeting was lately held
" for the purpose of organizing system of
visiting Presbyterians in Liverpool who may
have lapsed from church-going." The chair
man was sorry to say that recent research
es proved that in Liverpool there were vast
numbers of Scotch and not few Irish Pres
byterians who had ceased to attend any place
of worship, since they left their native land.
The question might be asked-How came it
that people so attentive to Church ordi-
nances at home should, in so many instances
forget to worship their fathers God when
they came south Of the Tweed? 1t was not
the scarcity of churches, for there are no
fewer than eighteen of them in Liverpool
1t must be attributed to the carelessneSS of
these people themselves, and to the fact that
no pastor had the charge Of watching over
them as at home" lie feared "many of the
poorer people we're kept from going to the
churches by inability to pay for sttings, and
it would be vast gain to religion to abolish
these, and raise the money required for the
services of the Church entirely from volun-
tary subscriptions Cheers
Another speaker offered resolution dep
recating this lapsing of Presbyterians not
only from their denominational connection,
but from all attendance upon the means of
grace, and calling upon all the churches to
give it their serious attention. Says the
Weekly Review, referring to this speaker:
Abiding to that portion of the resolu-
ton which spoke Of the lapsing Of Presbyte-
rians from their denominational connection,
he said he had no sympathy, little pity,
and sometimes not little indignation when
he saw Presbyterians going into the Church
of England. They were not to misunder-
stand him. In the Church of England there
had been great historical array of noble
minds and devout hearts, but he held hon.
estly of the Church of England as. an insti-
tuition quite apart from the noble goldly men
who had been in it and were in it, that as an
institution it was enslaved to the State-it
had in it not only Evangelical doctrines and
Evangelical men, but insidious Papists and
open rationalists who were kept there and
not put out, and besides who would not ad-
nit into their pulpits nor into their graves
Presbyterians when they were living or when
they were dead (hear, hear, and who held
off from them in theory, and, alas, too much
in practice as Scriptural and sister Churches" :"
After passing resolution recommending
Christian workers from all the churches to
undertake " house toulouse visitation of the
whole town." with a view to ascertaining
what becomes of the SO, 900 Scotch people in
Liverpool alone, on Sundays; and a resolu;
tiop pledging the meeting to the vigorous
use of every available means to secure the
important results contemplated, the meeting
adjourned.
1t would be good thing if some avail
able plan could be set on foot by which the
multitudes of elapsed" Presbyterians in this
country could be brought back to their duty
to their God and their Church.

Not a Novice. F"

At the present day not less than at other
times-perhaps at the present day more than
at other times-the following hints by Mr..
Spurgeon are worthy Of being carefully pom
dered. We would not discourage any one
from Christian soork but it is worthwhile
for each one to consider what his Christian
work is-whether itia to teach or to learn
whether it is to be a soldier or an officer
whether it is to train himself, or, himself un-
trained, to train others. Mr.. Spurgeon
says:
"The first thing after conversion to Christ
is confession of Christ, and the next is in
struction in Christ. | fear that too many
professed converts leap over these hedgea,
and endeavor to become teachers at once
They call themselves disciples, and repudi
ate all discipline. They say they are sol
diers of the cross; but they can neither
march in line or keep step, neither will they
submit themselves to order. They appear tt
think that the moment they are born the.
are fathers; the instant they are enlisted
they are officers. Now, conversion is tn
beginning of the spiritual life, and not tn
climax of it. 1t makes a man disciple
and the main thing disciple has to do is t.
learn. After he has learned, he will be abl
to teach others also; but not till then.
have often said to you that nothing Cal
come out of you that is not in you; and
therefore, if there is not something put int
you, to begin with, you may go out to wal
but as you have neither shot nor powder il
your gun, the enemy will not be much in
jured by your valor. We must be filled be
fore we can run over. 1t is necessary TO
the Christian man to be prepared for hol
service; that, in fact, what he does for 20
should be harvest growing out of himsel
because of previous seed time, during whic
much precious seed was put into him.
