Practical work distinguishes the
pulpit. Doctrinal sermons to-day are
at a discount. Ministers of the COS
pei, as if by a welconcerted plan,
are now putting tremendous energy
into the cause Of good government
and public health. Aggressive Chris
tanity seems to be the pride of every
denomination.
Flat chested, sale w-cheeked, weak
legged, watery-eyed clergymen are
scarce; strong, vigorous, clear.head-
ed, manly fellows are entering the
seminaries.
That well man is better man
than a sick one is no longer heresay.
Public baths, fresh air excursions,
open parks, sunlight, physical train
ing and proper medicines for the sick
are all contributing to the work Of
home missions.
All scots appear to beentering with
unusual activity into practical re-
formation. Last week in Boston one
of the greatest of its pulpit orators
preached upon clean streets; in New
York the churches have been breaking
up political corruption. Money from
the contribution boxes is going into
hospitals. Manya young clergyman
today takes year or more, not in a
trip to Europe to hear music and
study cathedral architecture, and
round out his education" but in a
plain. matter.of-fact medical school
to learn anatomy and hygiene.
Most progressive ministers in every
denomination today are recommend
ing to their people the great remedy
that makes people well, earnestly in
dorSing the work of yarmouth Col.
lege's generous scientist, and frankly
lending their influence to that of the
best physicians-advising generally
the use OF Paine's celery compound
now that the danger season of
spring" is near.
The proprietors of this best of rem
edies now furnish great quantity Of
testimonials from clergymen in every
state, and almost every city and
town in this country, from which
the following are taken at random:
Rev. Charles C. Bruce
From Somerville, Mass, Boston's
wealthy suburb, Charles Cromber
Bruce, one of the ablest young pastors
in the state, writes:
II am nearly SO years of age and
weigh normally 1853 pounds, at pres
ent my weight is 1857. Ny sickness
took me down to 13412, so that you
can see that l am getting back to
myself, and, God willing, shall soon
be there.
II have been a very sick man, but
owing to the goodness of thesupreme
powers | am now on the royal road
whose end is perfect health.
After 20 years of excessive labor
in studying and preaching, l was
elected to position in a high school
in Boston, but the work told on me
and l grew i'll. The illness lasted for
about year and a half. But now l
am so that / can see the end, and a
more thankful man you never saw.
A gentleman who lived near me be-

this and soon was led to use it, and
it has brought me out all right"
ST. Theresa's Academy.
Mother Theresa, writing from St.

celery compound a thorough trial.
and found it to be all that is claimed
for it. She adds: I'VE shall continue
its use and also recommend it to our
friends"
Rev. T. +. Staufer.
The following testimonial from a
man so widely known and beloved
as Rev. T. F. Stauffer, pastor of the
Faith Reformed church of Lincoln,
Neb., is most positive proof of the
wonderful medicinal power of Paine's
celery compound anditsgreat superb
ority over ordinary sarsaparillas,
tones and nervines.
For nearly year past have felt
myself running down. My nervous
system was gradually growing
worse; l had slight symptoms Of
rheumatism, and was troubled a
good deal at times with insomnia,

and concluded to use Paine's celery
compound, After the first few days'
use | began to improve, and am
very much better now. All symptoms
OF rheumatism are disappearing. /

rapidly improving, and believe a
radical cure is being effected. Paine's
