lnut5uat las II me Gay iOf lNe ltlH
anniversary of st Paul's Church and
large congregations attended all the
services. The program as Published
was carried out with enthusiasm Rev.
Patrick j. Kain, d. ID, Pastor of the
Dutch Reform Church, Manayupk, Pa.
was the star preacher Of The day He
took for his text | King III "Pro-
phesying against Ahab and his obed-
ience to God" His word picturing of
Ahab, the most wicked king Israel had
and of the heather queen Jesebel in an
ampitheater at Tyre and Eliiah's dram
attic appearance and prohesying no rain
for three years; aud Elijah's flight to
Cherith where he was fed by The ravens
would do credit to the author of Ben
Hur. lie said they represented types
of humanity, in the church, Il fashion
able women, Il rich man both Of whom
their n%eighbors would not know they
belonged to church III every day life,
and II bold, fearless minister of God.
If Elijah were sent to your church
by a bishop to-day he would BE- kicked
out and be sent to be fed by the raw
ems, because he would knock all the
fashionable fads out OF the church.
Elijah did not stop TO parley, but
obeyed Gods command. He went to
Cherith, drank of the waters and was
fed by the ravens He gave u picture
of the woods scenery, squirrels and
birds and said we should drink of the
waters of opportunity as they pass by.
Many wait and wait until they have
receded. While waiting by the brook
of popularity, ifit goes away, stay their.
God is trying you. II your ministry is
a failure examine yourself. The most
beautiful colors are put ON china by the
hottest fire. Gods trials test men and
strengthen Christian character.
He told of his own conversion at the
age of 80, being led to Christ by a con-
sumptive Quaker boy. He began to
preach, but knowed no theology, and
did not know he was preaching. He
had great reyivals, but the financial aid
given him was so small as to commit
him to poverty. God was trying him.
After earnest prayer by himself and
wife two $40 bills came in the mail
from whom he did not know. Then
calls to lecture and conduct r%evivals
came and after that, like tue Widows
meal and oil, they never failed
He closed with Il pathetic narrative
of the conversion of Tom Gilkson, d
life prisoner, whose heart was melted
by his homeless daughter bringing Il
curl of hair of his dead boy TO the pris-
on a cold Christmas day. There were
few fearless eyes in the Church. He
held an attentive audience for an hour
and fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Kain is 81 and has been preach
ing eleven years. Before being called
to the Dutch Reform Church lie was a
Methodist itinerant. He is M Of the
most remarkable men with the most
remarkable careers of this generation.
In the afternoon Rev. E, Hewitt, d.
D., of Camden, preached from Hebrew
1926, 'He is able to save to the utter
most" In the evening Rev. j. l..
Howard, A. NJ, Of Beverly, preached
from Acts ga I, Healing Of the lame

wANAMAKER,S.

Philadelphia, Monday, February 70, 1879.
when I was first married." said
a lady friend of the store, shop
ping was pretty serious work. Our
income was small; needs a-plenty.
But what of that ? The stores were
relentless. Some were notable for
high prices; others catered to 'popu-
ular trade But one had to decide
for keeps. Stores didn't take goods
back; very seldom even allowed ex-
changes for other goods. If, in
poor light and under the gaze of a
salesperson that Just looked through
one, a mistaken choice was made,
my poor little allowance shrunk by
that much if l gave the goods away,
or I had something that seemed to
last forever because I loathed its
sight.
"Wanamaker's came into exist
ence and with it a spirit of liberality
"a seemingly whole-souled desire
to please. But it is useless to repeat
this part. Everybody knows that
what is bought in haste or in error
can be taken back, and shopping is
really a pleasure"
1t was a venture-this building a
business without pattern ; hewing
from untried possibilities. But it
proved to be
A LIKEABLE STORE.
1t is not a department store, of
hodge-podge counters filed with
goods bought at random, but it is a
store made up of stores-each quite
as complete in itself as is the indi-
vidual apple tree of the orchard.
Dress Goods store, now the most
comprehensive in the land, as well
as chief seller of exclusive elegance.
Carpet store, far more complete
than any individual carpet store.
Shoe store, that turned thousands
of pairs of good solid shoes to the
government use when even manu
facturers halted.
And so on-the whole one sys-
TEN, one ownership, one vast help
full store.
Authors gain a public--a clientele
not of owned adherents, but of sat-
isfed readers.
The store has gained its public
not of blind dependents, but of
purse-string holders who have proved
it. Fine threads, spun by sympathy
and twisted by a real affection, draw
Our Public to US.
This Public grows in numbers-is
growing faster now than at any date
in the stores history. The REIN
forcements come from among u
own neighbors who have had this
fact forced home to them: That this
store is
DAILY OFFERING
GREATEST STOCKS
AND
CHARGING LEAST PRICES
FOR
GUARANTEED GOODS.
And the facts are logical. The
business is il excess of that done by
any other American retail store and
it is conducted in buildings which,
though we are sometimes ashamed
of their exterior looks, are almost
rent-free.' Every nook is interesting
now-and almost every one is hold
ing a stock at the top-notch of readi-
ness for you.

We can now sell our old field grasses
at high prices in wool and mutton.
L.nds that are so quilted and worn as
to be useless for agriculture can be
now made the most useful and pay
ing portions of our farms in giving
us money for wool and mutton and a
fine quality of fertilizer to raise the
dropping, disbeartened condition of

of our low lands heretofore useless
can produce rice at a living price.
Oar fort fathers after the Revolution
