Much Is written at the present day about

IL. How to feed the baby IS the greatest
problem met with IN the happy state OF
motherhood, and upon its solution depends
the health, the happiness and the life OF the
child. II the mother Is able TO nurse her
child, the question OF feeding Is practically
settled; II she Is not, she should be guided
by those who have had successful expert
ence in feeding babies and not allow herself
TO experiment with different foods There
are scores OF artificial foods offered for sale,
but the best Is none too good for the baby.
Eminent authorities who have thoroughly
Investigated the subject OF infant feeding.

foods unite IN pronouncing MeIlin's Food

Christian Endeavor Notes.

Christian Endeavor in Ireland is of
very recent origin, but the movement is
growing with astonishing rapidity.
There are over 200 German societies
If Christian Endeavor in the United
States, although so far as known there
is none in Germany.
Among the English denominations
whose chief religious gathering has
adopted the Christian Endeavor move
ment are the Methodist New Connexion,
the Methodist Free Church, the Mora
Wan church and the Baptists.
The first Christian Endeavor society
established in England was at Crewe,
in the Hightown Congregational church,
and was formed in August, 1887.
Christian Endeavor is in its infancy
in Spain. There is one society at San
Sebastian in Mrs. Gulick's mission
school.

From the tribal life of past ages to the
| civilization In which we live and In which
we glory, the necessity of government has
been recognized. A discussion OF It's
origin Is very unsatisfactory except to the
scholar or philosopher, for there seems to
be little agreement among the different
thinkers as to the supposed natural state
before Its existence.
/ with Hobbies IL Is a state Of war. and
government is the result Of an agreement
among men to keep the peace With Locke
II l. state Of liberty and equality. and
finally an agreement of men to surrender
their natural liberty, and submit them
selves to one supreme government.
But however that may be, the necessity
was early seen of supreme rower at the
