c. 3. Downs, of the freight depart
ment of the Boston & Maine Railroad
at Portsmouth, knows what it is to
suffer from hunger with food within
reach, which he could eat, but not
digest. He lives at 80 Daniel Street,

ing words: =

be troubled with indigestion, which

better, until found it hard to keep
any food on my stomach. Everything

l did not look like dyspeptic and so
did not get much sympathy.
| tried as many as dozen different
things, but they all failed to cure me,

Puritana and was not only relieved by

HELPING THE FALLEN. Society is hard
est on the fallen woman. 1t makes it all
but impossible for her to return to clean
and holy life. She, in Gods sight, is no
greater sinner than her companion, and

woman. 1t should be our delight to stand
as ready to forgive and help the female
sinner as her male coadjutor. Rev. Dr..

SECrARIANlsM. The Church has much
yet to do before it divests itself of its
chrysalis and energies into the glory of
its strength and usefulness. As whole,
the Church must divest itself of its sec
tarianism. This has been its bane of the
past. And it is far from being rid of it
yet. But there has been glorious progress
along this line in the last quarter of a cen
tury. Rev. B. R. Long, Congregational

GROWTH. True, substantial growth,
whether physical, intellectual or spiritual,
is invariably gradual. Gradually the life
spontaneous goes into the life reflective.
Regeneration is immediate; conversion is
gradual. AS stars come out one by one,
so graces come out one by one in the soul.
First comes the state of sin, then the state
OF glory. The growth of the soul, too,
is always dependent upon personal en-
deavor. REV. X. B. Topper, Baptist,
Philadelphia. Pa.

CRIME IN CITIES. Beer and Doodle cleo
tions breed a disrespect for officers and
laws, and the city becomes the hotbed of
every iniquity, where anarchy, riots and
criminals are multiplied The city fur
nishes from seven to nine times as many
criminals in proportion to population as
the rural districts. Murders in the United
States have increased more than two and
one-half times as fast as the population
during the last seven years. 1t is in the
cities that most of these crimes are done.
