The Moravians have just been cell
ebrating their 427th anniversary. This
leaves the Edinburgh tercentenary far

be the oldest Protestant sect in Christen-

Our observation is" say the
Methodist bishops in their quadrcnnial
address, ''that where the ministry is
holy and aggressive, the churches
prosper, whether in our rural districts

chemically perform the duties of Office,
our churches fail.

"DOn't"-Wake Him Early.

opinion whether little boy six years of

of harm. If the boy sleeps until eight
o'clock because he does not 90 to bed
until ten or later. the remedy lies not
in waking him early, but putting him

and sleeps late, the fact alone is reason
enough for not waking him.

If boy who does not sit up late
sleeps until eight o'clock, it is 3 sign
that he needs more sleep than most
boys; and it is too sweeping, as it is
cruel. to say awake him early" A
parent has no more right to starve 4

There are in Shakespeare's plays
about ninety deaths taking place either
on the stage or Immediately behind:
The modes of death are various. Cold
steel-the dagger or the sword-ac-
counts for about two-thirds of the whole;
twelve persons die from old age or de-
decay; seven are beheaded; five die by
poison, including the elder Hamlet,
whose symptoms are so infinitely de-
scribed by the ghost; two of suffocation,
unless, indeed, Desdemona makes a
third; two by strangling: one from a

I have been a martyr to Infiammatory
rheumatism for thirty years. l am pro-
vision dealer in Fulton Market, and the
dampness of the place caused my trouble.
Standing on the stones, my feet used to
swell up almost as big as cushions, then
the rheumatism would affect my shoulders
and arms. Ihavs tried almost everything,
but without avail, until / began using
BRANpRErH's PILLS. The most l ever took
was six pills at a dose, and soon as the
medicine operated, the pain would begin
to pass off. l then took two pills every
night for a week, and would be entirely
cured for some months, until had another
attack; then the same treatment always
cured me. BRANDRETH's PILLS never have
failed me once. 1 have been using them
for upwards of thirty years. Idaily recon-
mend them, and lately cured my clerk of
rheumatism; he took the pills the same as
did. am now y years old, strong and
vigorous, and l am sure BRANDRETH'S
PILLS are the cause. Anybody afflicted
with rheumatism can come to me, and if
they will take BRANDRETH's PILLS, will
surely cure them. c. W. DYER.
