The Mission Conference.


In many respects the great foreign
mission conference, now in session III
New York. is one of the notable re-
ligious gatherings of the present
generation 1t is happy augury thal
at the close of the century there
should be held in the metropolis OF the
new world a grand gathering of dele
gates from every nation OF the slooe'
representing every branch OF the
Protestant church, called together by
tba noble shirt of missionary zeal. 1t
is the first conference of its KIND on
this continent, and its dignity is indi-
Gated by the fact that its presiding Off
Ger is an ex-president of the United
States, while our present Chief EXecu-
tive journeyed from Washington to
New York to give the delegates a
cordial speech of welcome.
Foreign missions are often criticised,
and, as is the case with every other
great work. there is often ground for
criticism of the methods employed.
But no true friend of missions can
object to honest criticism. The work
needs no defense or justification, any
more than Christ needs to be apollo
sized for or his teachings to be de-
Tended. There may be difference of
opinion over methods and means of
missionary work, but all Christians
porters of missions. And it is mainly
to criticise missionary work, and to
discover and discuss it's defects that
this great gathering has been called
from the ends of the earth. From the
earliest days of Christianity its con-
science has been profoundly impressed
with the need Of missions, not only
to enlarge the area Of Christian faith
but to extend to heather lands the
priceless benefits of the civilization that
has grown out of the Christian faith.
Christianity sees that great as have
they might be and ought to be still
greater; and it has therefore as
srmbled council Of its representative
leaders and its most famous mission
aries to talk the situation over and
out of 4 personal conference gain
larger outlook and a fresher inspira-
ton for the prosecution of the work in
the future. With eyes turned hope
fully to the dawning century, they will
strive, so far as possible. to bring the
missionary enterprises Of the churches
into harmony with the needs and ideas
of present day Christianity without
, unnecessarily Overturning the tradi
tions If the past.
There are now about $50 organized
| missionary societies of the Protestant
| churches of the world and the almanac
/ of the American board for 1900 gives
| the following statistics representing
the work of 240 of these societies in

A USE FOR EVERYTHING
Nothing Vet Ever Created
Without a Purpose.
A Theory Difficult to be Believed in
Some Instances.
MANY THINK NATURE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
IMPROVED UPON IN MANY WAYS

we all wonder why certain things were ever
made. why certain animals or insects were al
lowed to live. And yet there is no doubt bur
that everything was intended for some purpose
and as civilization advances such purposes are
discovered
Cod liver oil is something that everybody knows
to have been wise provision of Providence. to be
used as medicine in all wasting diseases. Why
Nature should have appended TO this valuable
remedy its horrible odor and most terrible taste is
also something that many have wondered at. But
that Natures way. She gave the
crude material, and has left 1T his intelligence
to overcome many of its Objectionable features.
This is exactly what has happened in regard TO
cod liver OIL Everybody knows its value. Every
body knows how necessary it is for physicians to
prescribe 1t In many instances. Everybody also
knows that it is of the most terrible medi-
cines to take that can be imagined. There is
longer need Of taking 1t; that is, in the form in
which we have been accustomed to know it,
Mr.. Henry Evans OF this city has associated
himself with Boston house which is producing a
preparation known Vnol-Win OF Cod Liver
Oil. This is not a patent medicine. Any one may
see on the label of each bottle. or Mr. Evans will
tell any one who calls on him, exactly what vInol
contains. As he explained yesterday: I'VE have
simply found out how to extract the active medic-
nal principles from the Gods liver that has made
cod liver oil valuable. This we now obtain in the
form Of concentrated extract. The grease with
all its vile odor is left behind. That, too. has its
purposes. 1t is valuable for dressing leather, but
as for its being in any way good for man as a
medicine. it is absolutely worthless
Now take the medicine that have OBJ
tained, the concentrated medicinal properties of
the Gods liver. and place just the right quantity
Of this extract in delicious, mild table wine
and there you have the whole story. Anybody
learn in minute that Vinol is tasteless. Any one
who is compelled take cod liver oil find
out in few days how much more benefit be
derived from Vinol than could have been OBJ
