gregations for a stronger public sentiment
and q better Christian sentiment against
the alarming prevalence of homicide. The
clergy Will, 1t is understood, generally fol-
low the bishops suggestion. 1t is an APP
propriate day since II is known throughout
England and American as peace Sunday.
Pennsylvania is to be made a working
model by the Evangelism Alliance in its
endeayor to educate the people through
small printed books distributed free In
that State there is already a strong local
alliance, and the general secretary for the
United States, the Rev. DR.. Strong, is to
spend the next six months there in trying
TO perfect his educational scheme. This
scheme has in mind theaenlistlng of Chris
tian Endeavorers in the task of placing this
good citizenship and other literature in
hands of the thousands who do not sub
scribe for or read any newspaper OF any
kind. Endeavorers are taking hold of the
work with interest, admitting that 1t gives
their citizenship committees for the first
time some real work to do The experiment
was made the past year of employing
clergyman to give his whole time to alliance
work. 1t is proving wonderfully successful.
The Rev. Samuel A Eliot, who has just
accepted the secretaryship of the American
Unitarian Association, is a son of President
Eliot, of Harvard. He has been minister of
a Unitarian society in Brooklyn during the
past five years. where he has met with
marked success. The place to which he
now goes is one that pays less salary than
his late pastorate, but 1t is regarded as the
most influential in the Unitarian denomina-
ton. Besides, it is in Boston, which latter
fact is said to have been not without good
deal of influence. The association is the
business concern of the denomination.
The famous Church of the Strangers will
move about three miles up town from its
present Site The building it has so long
worshiped in stands on ground owned by
the Sailors Snug Harbor corporation of
Staten island A rental has long been paid
of 81 800 year The land has become so
valuable that it lis necessary, in justice to
the charity which the corporation admin
listers, to reappraise it and charge $1,000
rental. This amount the Church of the
Strangers cannot pay 1t has therefore de-
cided to abandon its location, and has pur-
chased the Central Congregational Church,
in West Fifty-seventh street, just west of
Eighth avenue.

recognized by marks and circumstances

one of the younger pair presented by her

were indications, in the loss of feathers on
the breast, of one having been torn from

the speed of pigeons is equal to one nun

DON'T NEGLECT
A COMMON CASE OF PILES.


When people generally understand that
all such fatal diseases as fistula, ulcer of
the rectum, fssure, ETC., almost invariably
begin in a simple case of Piles, they will
learn the wisdom of taking prompt treat
ment for the first appearance of troubles
in this quarter. The Pyramid Pile Cure will
certainly cure every form of piles, itching
bleeding. protruding or blind piles, and hum
d1eds of lives have been saved by using this
cheap but effective remedy right at the
start, because at such time a single pack
age will effect a cure, while in the old
chronic, deep-seated cases, several pack
ages are sometimes necessary before a last
ing cure is effected.
Physicians are using the Pyramid Pile
Cure in preference to surgical operations
and with uniform success. For sale by
druggists everywhere at so cents and 81 per
