sunday-school RalIy at Calvary Baptist
Last Night.
= Last night ct Calvary Baptist Church
the house WAS crowded to overlooking.
One OF the attractions of the evening
was the exceptionally fine music. The
chorus consisted OF fifty voices led by
the Calvary orchestra.
The meeting was devoted especially
to Sunday-school and young peoples
rally and WAS addressed first by Rev.
John G. Pollard, president of the State
Union. Among other things he said:
The young peoples movement had its
origin in the realization of the great
need OF our time. Quoting from DR..
STRONG he said: immortality WAS grow
Ing faster than church membership"
The reason why church members are 80
few Is because Of no training In youth.
MOI twenty per cent. of our church
members are at work. The eighty per
cent, of idlers do more harm than the
twenty per cent. do good. Christians
should be in business for the Lord. We
should be Gods business men. Doing
Gods business. II employees were IS
trifing in their employ as the average
church member In the Lords work thew
would loose their jobs.
Intelligent Christianity is the need of
the church today. The Christian
should study the needs of souls. Re.
ligion Is the same but methods change.
The Christian should be fighter. The
Bible is the sword. Young workers
should be armed with IL. The Christian
should remember that praying was
never intended to take the place of
work. God helps those who help them
selves.
He then directed his remarks TO the
Baptist Young Peoples Union of the
South. which has just been organized in
the South, pulling out from the great
American Union, which knows no Sec
tionAlism. He urged the unions 10 stand
by the great American brotherhood.
The speech was eloquensly delivered
and made lasting impression. Mr..
Pollard ia young lawyer of Richmond
and will make his mark.
NJ B. Broughton, of Raleigh, N. O.,
the superintendent Of one Of the largest
Sunday schools In the South, and a
leader In his State, made the address OF
She evening. He said the Sunday-school
workiis the greatest work to-day in the
church OF Christ. 10 all departments Of
church work there are barriers but In

Indulge In the Rest

THE comforts of good cigar are ap.
preciated fully only by those who have
occasionally been compelled to indulge

recognized among Roanoke smokers as
one OF, II not the very best FIVE cent
cigar ever placed on the market. This
Cigar wears genuine Sumatra wrapper,
and the filler 10 in part pure Havana
stock. Some manufac turers claim to
sell genuine Havana cigars that retail
at five cents, but such statements are
simply stretching the blanket" A

In this country at five cents and leave q
profit to. the importers and denler. The

The Curse
Of Mankind!

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
gious blood poison. 1t has always
baflled the doctors, for Notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches Of
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether ia the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors pre- cription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto II. Ebert, who resides at the
corner Of 2ad Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had a severe expert
ence with this dreadful disease, and
under date Of April Still, 1866, writes:
Several years ago | was so unfortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood

corder. The teeth are more difficult to

their care is a yearly visit TO a reliable
dentist, whose services are absolutely

At least once in two weeks the teeth
should be thoroughly cleansed by a
rubbing process. To do this dip small
hickory stick, which must be softened
at the end, into chalk or ground pumice
stone, and rub carefully over the entire
surface of the teeth. particularly the
inside and upper portion of the large
molars, where there is usually a de-
post from the various seeretions of the
mouth.
Dental floss should be used to remove
all particles of food; the use of a tooth
pick is not only an ofTense against good
taste, but is also injurious, as it loosens
the filings of the teeth and bruises the
gums as well.
Charcoal is invaluable as dentifrice.

unpleasant taste of disordered stom-
ach. A few drops of tincture of myrrh
in glass of water is an excellent mouth
wash, while listerine as an all-round
purifier and antiseptic for the mouth
is unexcelled.
