Mr.. James Reed struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such a manner
as to bruse it severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him 50
badly that he could not walk without
the aid of crutches. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and a half gallons
of whisky in bathing it. but nothing
gave any relief until he began using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had
he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated Mr.. Reed

of opinion in regard to the political rela-

try during the session yesterday afternoon,
was reached at the session this afternoon
AS soon as the devotional exercises were
over, Rev. DIR. Kerr, who is the chairman
Of the business committee, and who had
been busily engaged during the day in try
ing to effect an arrangement which would
be satisfactory to both parties, claimed the
attention of the council.
He said that he stood there not as the
representative of the business committee,
but personally to offer a resolution which
had met the approval of the president Of
the alliance, DR.. Lang; Mr.. Meiring of the
Transvaal, who had asked to have his
name dropped from the rolls. and other
members. He read the resolution, as fol-
lows:
Resolved by the seventh general council
of the Alliance of Reformed Churches
throughout the world, holding the Presby-
terrain system, that in view of the distress
ing crisis now existing between Great
Britain and the Transvaal, the council ex-
presses it's earnest hope and prayer that
peaceful solution of present difficulties may
be reached
This resolution was heard with approval
and was adopted after it was seconded by
Rev. DR.. Hershey.
Rev. DR.. Craven then led in prayer, ask
ing that a peaceful solution may be reach
ed The incident then closed and the con-
sideration of the program was taken up.
The request of Mr.. Mering that his name
be dropped from the rolls will not be re-
ported to the council and nothing more will
be done in the matter.
