Indigestion is the curse Of this coun-
try says n New York medical journal
in a recent editorial Both men and
women suffer from this distressing com
plant and it causes a tremendous amount
of misery"
This Is all very true. but there is no
reason why any man or woman should
suffer from indigestion when there is a
ready means of preventing t. Thousands
of people have discovered sure cure and
some of them have given the public the
benefit Of their experience.

teen years and/was entirely cured by TAX

than IL has been for years past"
These are only two cases selected from
thousands Of others, but they are suffi-
eient TO prove that dyspepsia and indiges-
uuh can be always avoided by the regu-
lar use of Duffy's pure malt. Ii will not

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
DANGERS OF GREAT MUNICIPAL
IIIES.


IIlES.
The history Of bribery is a strange
record. Throughout the whole of the
eighteenth century England was large
~ governed through organized corrup-
ton. from the days when Defoe noted
the prices of perfectly respectable AL
dermen and advised Marley what
should be paid, to the time when Pitt
and Dundas made deals" with nabobs
and war contractors. It was the excep-
ton TO find a man who did not regard
a vote as a purchaseable commodity.
or member of Parliament who did
not dip his hand into the public treas
ury. To-day our public life IS. as we
are in. the habit of saying, fairly pure.
Here and there are municipal scandals.
and there are probably few Parliamen-
tary elections where some of the votes
OF the "residuum" are not purchased
by means other than money paid down.
Our members of Parliament occasion
ally figure as promoters of shady COM
panies. but there is no bribery what
ever in the old sense. We point TO
these facts and to our large local ad-
ministTative work done by public spir-
tied men, and feel self-complacent and
there are not modern dangers to be
avoided. dangers the more serious be-
cause Of a more subtle nature than in
former times.
The chief source of danger we have
hinted at, viz. huge masses of people
horded together who do not and can
not know one another In any intimate
way. who do not know candidates for
Office, who have no political or civic
pied terre, so to speak. The Greeks
held that a city-state should not ex-
ceed a certain size. because, as Aris-
totle put It. where would be the Stem
tor who would call the people togeth-
er? The physical difficulty suggested
moral and civic problem. and the
decay of the city-state was contempor-
aneous with its growth May not the
enormous growth Of modern cities ex-
ercise deteriorating influence on
municipal life because vital contact of
citizens is impossible. and because the
average citizen is removed further and
further from those who are the source
Of power?

pR. HALLS RETIREMENT.

Rev John Hall. ID. D., pastor Of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church,
who has just resigned his pastorate
worth $4,000. is one Of many Irishmen
who have left the old sod, with it's lin
tied opportunities. and como to this
country TO distinguish themselves and
acquired wealth and fame.
For a long time DR.. Hall has been
conceded to be one OF the foremost OF
Americas religious thinkers and pull
pit orators. He Is known to church
people all over this vast country and
his name has gone abroad as far as the
influence OF the Presbyterian Church
is felt. His literary contributions have
been eagerly read and the readers have
profted greatly by them.
While he had a certain amount OF
fame while in Ireland, It was not until
ne accepted the pastorate OF the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church and
preached to the many thousands who
flocked to hear him that his name be-
came the household word 1t now ia
In his letter Of resignation he said;
Having served the church Cor forty
eight years, and as pastor of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church for thirty
years, after prayerful and long consid-
Grafton, l have decided to resign this
pastorate, so as to allow The brethren
OF the session to choose a successor
of requisite energy"
His parting words to his congrega-
ton were: For thirty years have
been privileged to minister to the peO-
pie of this church. l have labored, not
for the sake of popularity, but for the
salvation Of those who believe in the
word of God. l have labored not for
exhibitions OF scholarship or rhetoric
but for the welfare OF believers in
Christ And now, that l speak here
for the last time, let me beg and On
treat that when you no longer hear
my voice you will carry out the OK
hOrtation contained in these verses of
Scripture:
Remember them which had the
rule over you; who have spoken unto
YOU the word OF God; whose face fol-
low, considering the end OF their con
yersation;
Jesus Christ the same yesterday
and to-day and forever.
In this modest manner retires a man
who has lived godly and consistent
life. The foul breath OF scandal has
never reached him. He has practiced
what he preached, and the world is
much the richer for his services and
much the poorer by veason OF his re-
tirement.
