A REjPLY-

We cannot allow Our ad to go to press without
speaking the sentiment Of those who read our last
bulletin report on high standard merchandise at such
popular prices. In fact, price for the humbest
toier. Still these prices give good round profit
and Our customers all day had nothing to say but
speak Of these prices In fact, couple OF ladies' who
are good judges of Millinery, looking at one Of
our handsome Black Velvet Hats, high CROWN
decorated with large ostrich tips and demi- plume,
WINGS ornaments, ETC. This hat had Our mark in
plain figures, 81 As and they heard to say
"Nicer every way than those we looking at for
S10." How is this? you might ask, and it is easier
answered this way: We just bought in several large
boxes Of fine vevets, and yard covers a hat
frame, and where you only ask the small retail prices
added to the cost and for the little work, with fair
profit on the tips, cuts the high fancy price
than in two. And SO it goes other lines through
Domestic and Fancy Goods Departments. We
quote few prices to-day on regular lines

poor oppressed nation? BY this holy pro-
ceeding 1 know you would not add another
star to your national flag, but be sure you
would add another bright and glorious star
to your heavenly crown.
The time will come when your statues
will crur1ble into dust. Your splendid pal
aces will be desolated. Your treasures will
pass from your grasp. but your help to
the poor and needy will be recorded in
heaven and will give you JOY forever more
Miss Margaret Leitch.
The next speaker was Miss Margaret w.
Leitch of Jafrna, Ceylon. who said:
There are roar things which each one of
us can do for this great cause. The first
thing is to know. knowledge is the basis
of all wise effort on behalf Of any cause.
What we need Is that the truth concerning
this matter should be like a fire shut up in
our bones If you do not already possess
copy of this book, The Rule of the
Turk" by the Rev. F. D. Greene, will you
not secure copy here. or at the literature
stand. or from the National Armenian re-
lief committee, Bible House. New York
city? The price for helpers, Is twenty-five
cents / know that the heartreniing mar
rationS which 1t contains will pain your
kind hearts and bring tears to your eyes.
But what were our hearts given to US for
If not to beat in sympathy with the joys
and sorrows Of humanity? What were our
lips given to us for il not to tell of the
things which need to be told? | wish that
every ore Of us might feel ten times more
keenly about this matter. and then that we
might transmute that feeling into action.
