the greater liberaliry that we hear about
 simply means greater indifference, then
 we shall only hear this ''Oh, yes, dare
 say that Baptista and Presbyterians and
 Episcopalians can be saved, do not care
 much one way or the other, dare say
 we shall all be saved, Romanists and Quakers and all. I am willing to admit all that, but as for doing anything or ex- erting myself in any way or giving up a cherished prejudice just because Christ prayed centuries ago when he was about to be crucified that we might all be one, that is asking too much." So then there is charity of indifference as we'll as charity of love and zeal. Which of these is the more honorable? Which is the more Christlike? Which of these is ours? Granted that our charity proceeds from 8 desire to further the visible unity of the faithful and we should soon be able to find common ground of comprehsn- sion upon which each might find place for the things that he loves, the things that are blessings to him, without deny- ing similar liberty to his fellows.
 The reform must proceed from the hearts of men and in order to accomplish anything sslet this same mind be in you as was also in Christ Jeaue."

My trouble was child bed fever. The third day after my babe was born took chill, which was followed by a high fever. Iwould perspire until my clothes were as wet as though dipped in a tub of water. The chills and fever kept up for three days. My daughter got me a bottle of your Compound. The fourth dose stopped the chills, and the fever also disappeared. My life was saved.

A PROTEST AGAINST RURAL FREE DE-

 The following remonstrance is being circulated in Huntington: To the Honor able Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster General of the United States: We, the undersigned residents of the town of Huntington, Fairfield County. Connecti. cut, would herewith most respectfully but most firmly protest against the intro duction of the so called "Rural Free De- livery system" in our town, for the fol- lowing reasons: It would involve the abolition of our local (fourth class) post office, which would be most grievous inconvenience to all of our people. It would necessitate our going to Shelton or Bridgeport for all money orders, regis tered mail, and the weighing of parcels. for all of which purposes we now go to the local office. 2d. It would involve expense and inconvenience in providing mail boxes. Nor wouli the said boxes themselves, or mail deposited la them be safe from tramps.

 for. Women

Any article, whatever its merit, must be made known to the public by means of advertising. Advertising, however, though it can do much for a thing, cannot do everything. It may create a sale for a time, but in order to insure lasting demand the thing advertised must have solid worth.
 This is the case with Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has solid worth.
 Women everywhere have learned this fact, and the result is that there is a lasting and absolutely unequaled demand for it. It has the largest sale of any remedy for female ills in the world, and this has been the case for years.
 The reason for this is that Mrs. flnkham claims nothing that she is not entitled to claim. She can do all that she says she can do, and her twenty years of experience make her advice invaluable. Herexperience has been not only long but worldwide. and she has helped more women back to health than any one else in the world. These facts should, and do, have immense weight with all sensible women. Remember these are not wild statements but solid facts.

The memorable prayer in which the words of my text occur, was uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ, with eyes upllfted to Heaven, at a time when as he himself says, "Father, the hour has come." The hour had come when that life which had been life for mankind was to be closed by a death which In some mysterious way became death for mankind, destined to be followed by & glorious resurrection and ascension by which the Father glori- ned the Son. If we have in our hearts the least grain of love for Christ, if the thought of him and the memory of him Is In any way dear to us, if in any sense VIC endeavor to be his, 1t is lnconceivable to me how we can look upon words that he uttered in such a moment without a peculiar Intensity of reverent affection. The rudest savage, the most uncouth bar barian listens in speeches., breathless awe to the charge that Is laid upon him by his dying chief, and we who profess to have found In Christ a redeemer, we who have bullded upon him our hope of life eternal, we who in our sacred poetry exalt him by every known term of en- dearment, affection and reverence which are known to the powers of human speech, ought not we to listen when he speaks just before he enteEs upon the agony of deathf
 This and the Our Father and the words from Christ are the only prayers of Jesus that seem to have been fully recorded in the Gospels. By the Our Father he taught his disciples what to pray for. By this he shows us the thing that was nearest and dearest to his heart at the supremest moment of his career on earth,
