To Aid Widows and Orphans OF the
Beers.
A pathetic appeal OF the committee
of Africander and Bond members OF
parliament was issued at Cape Town,
Oct. 10, 1899, signed by Messrs. N. F.
DeWaal, Joseph N. Hoffman, j. II.
Hofmeyr, Thomas P. Theron and ID.
J. A. Van Zyl, which says among
other things:
What may, what can, we colonial
Afrcanders do in this sorrowful time?
Join in the work of warfare with the
weapons? The law and our duty as
British subjects forbid this, even
should other circumstances not oppose
such course Of action.
But what neither the law nor the
duty of the subject forbids, and what,
moreover, agrees in every respect with
all principles of religion and human
ity, is the offering of help to the
wounded, to the widows and the
orphans"
In the name OF the Africander bond,
on behalf OF the citizens Of the South
African republic and their noble ally,
the Orange Free State, appeal to all
Americans to show their sympathy
with the brave people who are now,
in the words of John Hancock. liter
ally offering all that they have, all
that they are, and all that they hope
to be, upon the altar of their country,
fighting to the death the arrogance
and imposition of the great British
empire, in order to remain free and
independent, as did our American
forefathers in 1916 and 1872. THERE
WILL BE NO BOER WOUNDED ON

tai SHIP.

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS.
How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Is Spread.

How the Germs Are Nurtured and tho
Disease Is Spread.
1t would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different seq
tons of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy ana
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after layer
of paper on wall, using common
-four paste, is especially calculated to
create homes for disease germs. Peo-
pie could not do more to effect such
result if they tried. The rotting vege-
table matter affords caves from when
are ready to dart forth the infection
at every opportunity. There is no ex-
cuse for this practice, as walls ana
ceilings can be coated with pure,
Clearly and sanitary material like Ala
bastine, for instance, at no greater ex-
pense. Alabastine is rock-base
cement, which incorporates itself with
the wall or ceiling. 1t is easily APP
piled, comes ready to mix with cold
water, requires no washing or screp-
ing before renewing or retintng, IS
beautiful, long-lasting and safe.
For walls that have been infected,
nothing is equal to Alabastine as
disnfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habit
able.

Startling Pulpit Announcement.

A minister in a pennsylvania town
on a recent Sunday surprised his audi

from the pulpit: The
regular session of the Donkey club will
be held as usual after the service.
Members will line up just outside the

at the ladies who pass, as is their Gus
tom. Any member known to escort a
lady to church like a man and sit with
her like a gentleman will be promptly
expelled from membership" The eff
feet was marvellous.

say some day. coming upon deck,

the sailors should say: why. captain,

the oargo?" "Oh," says the captain,
I'VE have peck of chaff that has got
into this 5000 bushels Of wheat, and
the only way to get rid Of the char
Is to throw all the wheat overboard!"
Now. that is a great deal wiser than
the talk OF many Christians who want
to throw overheard all the thousands
and tens Of Thousands Of souls who
are the subjects OF revivals. Throw
all overheard because they are brought
into the kingdom Of God through
great revivals, because there is a peck
Of chaff, quart of chaff, q pint OF

the winds swept down and the sea was
tossed into wrath. when they found
that following Christ was not smooth
sailing. So you have found 1t; 50 l
have found it.
Did you ever notice the end of the
life Of the apostles Of Jesus Christ? ?
You would say II ever men ought to
have had smooth life, a smooth de-
parture. then these men, the disciples
of Jesus Christ. ought to have had
such departure and such life. st..
James lost his head. St. Philip was
hung to death on a pillar. st. Mat
thew had his life dashed out with 4
halbert. st. Mark was dragged to death
through the streets. St. James the
Less was beaten to death with Z full
lsr's club. st. Thomas was struck
through with spear. They did not
find following Christ smooth sailing.
Oh, how they were all tossed in the
tempest! John Huss in IRE: Hugh
McKail in the hour of martyrdom;
the Albieenses, the Waildenses, the
Scotch Covenanters-did they find it
smooth sailing? But why go into his
tory when we can draw from our own
memory illustrations of the truth OF
what l say?
Not Always Smooth Sailing.
A young man in store trying to
serve God while his employer SCOTS at
Christianity! the young men in the
same store. antagonistic to the Chris
tian religion. teasing him, tormenting
him about his religion. trying to get
him mad. They succeed in getting him
mad and say, You're a pretty Chris
tian!" Does that young man find it
smooth sailing when he tries to follow
Christ? Or you remember a Chris
tian girl. Her father despises the
Christian religion; her mother de-
spises the Christian religion; her
brothers and sisters scoff at the Chris
tian religion; she can hardly find a
quiet place in which to say her pray
ers. Did she find it smooth sailing
when she tried to follow Jesus Christ?
Oh. no! All who would live the life
Of the Christian religion must suffer

one way, you will get it in another
way. But be not disheartened' Take
courage! You are in a glorious COM

My subject also impresses me with
the fact that good people sometimes
get frightened. In the tones Of these
disciples as they rushed into taa uac1

They had no reason to be frightened,

at the various errors going over the
