Soap

Pretty boxes and odors
are used to sell such
soaps as no one would
touch if he saw them UNI
disguised. Beware of a
soap that depends on
something outside of it.
Pears, the finest soap
in the world is scented or
not, as you wish; and the
money is in the merchan-
disc, not in the box.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people are
using it.

And all the valleys blue with haze.

When the brown waking earth had

With June in every blade and tree!

We turn our faces to the sea.

That wanders by the hill-wood side,
Till the great marshes take his hand
And lead bin to the rowing tide.
The rowing tide, the sleeping hills.
These are the borders OF that zone
Where they may fare as fancy wills
Whom wisdom smiles and calls her own.
1t is a. country OF the sun,
Full or forgotten yesterdays.
When time takes summer In his care.
And fills the distance Of her gaze.
It stretches from the open sea
To the blue mountains and beyondl
The world IS Vagabondia

To ''An Who Profess TO Call Themselves
Christians"

J. Our Blessed Lord prayed to His
Father that all HIS followers might 'be
one. st. John xvii, q.
2 lie prayed that by means Of this
unity men might be able TO know or
distinguish his followers from all others;
and that the world might be led thereby
to believe in His divine mission.-St.
John xiii. 80, and xvii %.
g. it was therefore an outward and
visible unity He so prayed for.
f. OF His church He left five first prin-
ciplcs, outward and visible tokens, or
marks. by which it should be certainly
known.
l. Baptism by water IN the name OF
the Blessed Trinity.-St. Matthew xviii.
10. and st. John w. o.
IL. Tie Apostles doctrine v hich IS set
forth I'm the creeds.-Acts ii. A..
III. The Apostles Fellowship" lie, IN
worship and IT, work with the Apostles
and with the one body ordered and guided
by them; and. after them, by those who
derive authority from them. and through
them to Chiiet.-St. John Xxx. 4, and st.
Matthew X. 40.
Nv. The Breaking Of the Bread
the Holy Communion.
Y. The Prayers" Public. as well as
private Hebrews X. 2D, and Prayer is
a set form agreed on befOrehand.-St
Matthew xviii. -.
These five principles or marks are
among the chief truths we find TO have
been believed and acted upon by the
church i'm all places. at all times. and by
all the faithful, and they are distinctly
set forth in the work of the Apostles
themselves, as recorded in the Acts and
in the rost Of the New Testament.
The church of Christ, His society among
men, was the one visible legacy He left
to the world, to be the witness and
keeper of His Word and Sacraments; this
Society was TO teach the world His
truth. and TO admit believers TO its fell
lowship by His commission and authority.
st Matthew xviii. 1920; COlossians I.
is and a. iii. 49, Ephesians l. p and %,
" Is and p; Acts ii. 81 and A.. d. 70, and

The church is often called the Body Of
Christ (see ] Corinthians xii. ~
The heather soldiers would not tear the
seamless robe that covered His Body in
the DAYS of His flesh; shall Christians
His professed followers-divide the very
Body itself?

Bishop in India, 10 a native who declined

the use Of book that would encourage
