Mothers aud nurses cannot be too care
full about the soap they use on the little
ones. Few but physicians know how
many of the sO-ealled skin diseases among
children are caused by the use of adulter-
ated poisonous soap. An analysis of sew
eralcakes of the pretty and perfumed toilet
soaps that are sold on the street showed
the presence of ground glass, soluble glass,
silex, pipe clay, rotten stone, borax, plas-
ter of Paris, tin crystal, magnesia, pumice
stone, oat meal and other substan nees,
which are added to give the soap weight,
hardness, toughness or clearness. The
common colorings are vermillion, venetian
red aud carmine, ultramarine green, pot
pigment green, copperas, Spanish brown,
ultramarine blues, yellow and scarlet ami
lines, and burnt lumber. Many of the per
fuming ingredients, though harmless in
themselves, become chemically poisonous
by admixture Adding the dangers from
all these to the rancid, diseased, putrid
qualities of grease used, and mothers may
well be appalled, at the permanent evils
these neat looking, delicately scented blocks
of toilet soap contain, ready to be released
whenever moistened and applied to the
baby's body.

palace Of pleasure. How those lofty halls
gl0wed with the dazzling effulgerce Of
thousands Of wax tapers. How softly
beautiful we're the marble statues that
graced the inches, lined the corridors, and
looked down from their pedestals on the
grand ball room. How Oriental in their

streamed on the enchanted air from an or

SIS the Bible True?-

Miss Sarah Smiley said in q Bible
reading, in Chicago, that, strange as
it may seem, she was often met with
question, SIS the Bible really truo?"
Her reply was that it is. And the
evidence that it is is abundant. She
continued, "There are two ways Of
proving this fact, both equally salts
factory. In both Of these ways it has
been satisfactorily proved many
times. The first method of proof is
by external, historical evidence
This is Il laborious method, requiring
much time and study; yet it is en-
tirely satisfactory. The second
equally satisfactory proof that the
Bible Is true is within the reach Of
all. 1t is this; the Bible fully accom-
plishes what it promises in those
who personally test it. To illustrate:
there are two ways of ascertainipg
whether or not a loaf of bread is nu.
tritious, The one by chemical anal
ysis-an elaborate method, requiring
much time and study. But if you
are hungry, you need not wait for
the results of chemistry. Eat and if
refreshed, you will know as really
that the bread is good as you would
from the chemists analysis.

Arm.Chair Christians.

The other day a minister declared
his opinion that the masses could
not be reached by armchair Chris
tian8." What species Of Christians
these are be did not define, but a lit
tie thought will probably bring home
to many minds a correct idea. There
are many people who have remar-
kable genius for laying out plans Of
Of work which others are expected to
execute and, like the old Pharisees,
they would bind heavy burdens on
others but they will not move them
with one Of their fingers. Such PEG.
pie, at the best, given but small do
nation to carry forward schemes that
require thousands Of dollars. They
can always devise schemes which
the pastor ought to carry out, and
they can deplore the inertness OF
church members, but ofany personal
relation to the work they have not
the slightest sense or responsibility.
They are at ease in Zion.
The number Of armchair Christ
ians there is reason to believe is la
mentally large. In every church
the workers are not numerous and
these are often discouraged by apathy
of fellow members. AS in Sardis
there were "few" who gave the
church name, so now, many church,
es would die ont if it were not for a
small portion of their membership
who realize the duty and privilege
Of work. -Bapti8t Weekly.
