Saw the Point Finally.

A man said, "When I was a young
chap / could use coffee and tobacco with
out their troubling me, but as / get along
in years they both distress me. / quit to-
bacco, but only got a little better; liver,
stomach and bowels kept all out of gear
until finally my old doctor told me that
coffee had the same poisonous alkaloids
as tobacco, but not quite SO many, and ad-
vised me to leave it off and give nature a
chance to build up. l didn't take much
stock in the old mans advice, but found
out by trying it that he was just right.
Still / missed my hot drink at breakfast
and supper-tried chocolate, but that lacks
the taste like, and tea don't exactly go to
the spot. Lately / have been drinking
Postum Cereal Coffee and like it better
than the old coffee. 1t has that pungent
taste that fits my notion of a hot drink

CRITTENTON WORK GOES ON.
Many Converts TO His Stirring Ap-
ueaIa Asked for P.aYer.

Last nights meeting of the Crittcnton
revivalists at Metropolitan NJ. f. Church
was even more largely attended than usual,
and the interest in this series OF evan
gelistic exercises seems to be gro owing daily.
The usual song service opened the meet
ing. Mr.. Crittenton preached the sermon
OF the evening upon the subject, Watch
man, Tell Us of the Night" and with the
fervent appeal to the unregenerate that is
a characteristic of his addresses he made a
strong impression upon the congregation.
His calls for converts to come forward to
the altar was attended with even more
than ordinary success. Many persons YOse
to ask for the prayers of the evangelist
and all the evidences of the presence of that
peculiar revlvallstic spirit, SO hard to de-
fine or describe, were apparent.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2: 80 children's
mass meeting will be held at the Metropol-
itan Church. Tickets for this meeting have
been distributed among the pupils at the
public schools, and very large attendance
is expected.
For the special Florence Crittenton Res
cue meeting at the First Congregational
Church on Sunday afternoon a choir of
twenty-five voices from Hamline NJ. E.
Church has volunteered to sing. Mr.. Otis
ID. Sweet will be the organist and Mr.. j.
Arthur Rose leader. Miss Ida O'Neal. Miss
Emma Houchen, Mr.. Frank Porter and
Mr. Humphrey will sing as quartet Miss
O'NeaI will also sing as solo. "Can a
Girl Forget Her Mothers Prayer" and Mr..
Humphrey will sing "Open Ye the Gates OF
the Temple" Mr.. Perry OF the Crittenton
band OF workers will sing Nellie ConrOy."
This is expected to be the most interest
ing OF the whole series of meetings.

necessary for the maintenance of the

This saving will result not from reducing
the fees. but because il surplus to that eX-
