Church Music.

Among the many commendable efforts
that our churches have made to improve their
music, 60 many have nearly proved failures
that the successful ones deserve notice and en-
couragement. Sabbath morning, October %,
the writer was present at the Calvary Baptist
church when the service was opened by a
voluntary on their large and fnely-vofced
organ. The organist, Mr.. Tasker, had chosen
an appropriate theme, and rendered it in a
truly reverential and devotional style. The
choir, numbering about twenty voices, led
by the well-known conductor, Mr.. Aver,
performed an introit anthem in a manner SO
appropriate 1t was evident they understood
and appreciated the sentiment of the words
they sung while tn cir fine voices clothed the
same in rich harmonies. The deyotions of the
audience were deepened by the impressive and
appropriate rendering of the music. In the
congregational singing the choir and organ
might have given greater aid had they been
located at the pulpit-end of the church, in
stead of being placed in a lofty gallery opro-
site. Could 8 few such choirs be induced to
form a sacred music association, their Influence
and church-like style of singing might be of
great value in improving the service of "sacred
sougo in our sanctuaries.

Worthy of Remembrance,

Why will you suffer violent pain, or be
made uncomfortable, distressed in mind or
body, when you can be instantly relieved and
quickly cured by Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters. The ordinary porous plaster is an
article of merit, yet its action is too slow, re-
quiring days and weeks of continuous wear to
effect cure, Benson's Capcine Porous Plas-
ter, being great improvement over them, re-
lieves you instantly, and cures you quicker
than any known plaster, liniment or COM
pound. Their action is more powerful than
electricity, and more certain. They are purely
vegetable, contain no mineral or metallic
poisons. Their composition and properties are
founded upon true medical skill, and are In
no sense a patent medicine. They are in
dorsed by thousands of physicians and drug
gists, of unimpeachable reputation, as being
an article of genuine merit and worthy of pub
lie confidence. Try them and be convinced.
Price, 25 cents.

The greatest remedy of modern times, for
the immediate alienation of pain and positive
quick cure, is without doubt, Benson's capcine
porous plssters. The public appreciates arti-
cles of true merit. Thousands of physi-
clans and druggists speak in glowing terms of
their great curative properties, who know
them to be superior to any other known medicine,
and who unhesitatingly recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronic and local
diseases which other porous plasters simply re-
lieve. Rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
sciatica and T ali % diseases ' is ip which % poreus
plasters have been valued, are by Renson's
capcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation is without 9
parallel in the history of true medicine; their
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisons Try them and
you will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.

of avoiding political difficulty. For many

Of the "Lord of the Endless Umbrellas but
recently the Government Of India have insisted
that this humflisting proceeding should for
the future be discontinued. To obviate the
difficulty His Majesty has, It Is said, contrived
