We have saved many doctor bills since
we began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy i'm our home. We keep bottle
open all the time and whenever any OF
my family or myself begin to catch cold
we begin to use the Cough Remedy. and
as a result we never have to send away
for a doctor and incur large doctor
bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
never fails to cure. 1t is certainly a
medicine of great merit and wOrth.-D.

For All Laymep,

Catholic laymen the world over have
something 10 learn from the life of
the late Lord Chief Justice of Eng
land. He was acknowledged to be
''the greatest Catholic who has taken
q part in the public life of England
since the days of the blessed Thomas
Moore" And English Catholics who
knew him could intimately write Of
him: "It is unnecessary to dwell upon
the active interest which he took. and
the powerful assistance which he was
always ready to give in the promotion
of Catholic interests. There was moth
ing which he had more at heart than
the strengthening and Tightening Of
the bonds of brotherhood and unity
amongst the Catholics of England of
every class and of every nationality.
1t was his nature to speak plainly,
directly and to the point; ana when he
felt called upon to speak, he never
shrank from saying what lie thought.
But no one in listening to the most
outspOkcn uttcranceS of Lord Russell
even for one moment doubted his gen
unc devotion to the faith of his faith
crs or his unswerving loyalty to the
church. How much have we Catholics
lost by his death? How much have
we all, from the highest to the lowest,
gained by the fact that II Catholic
has once more held the great place of
Lord Chief Justice of England and so
filled it as by universal acknowledge
mcnt to do honor to that high office!
He was Il kind, generous and faithful
friend"

Favors Unmarried Missionaries.

The Church Times, an Anglican or
gan, has come to the conclusion that
in the rvangrliZation of hcathcn coun-
tries, women and children dependent
upon missionaries are Il hnlrunce. 1t
says: I'm our opinion the advance
guard. at amy rate Of the missionary
army should be composed of cclibatcs,
ready to face all risks themselves with
out involving the lives of helpless wo-
men and children dependent on them
70 evangclize a hcathcn area requires
other methods besides those which
can be uscfully employed in preaching
the Gospel in a Christian or civilized
country"
That is to say, comments the Boston
Republic, II preacher working among
the people of England. for example,
may proiitably have a wife and family,
but when he goes to China he should
he Il celhatc. The Church Times fails
to see or refuses to see that it's argu-
mcnt in favor of the crlibncy of for
cign missionaries applies with equal
force to nll missionary effort. This is
the contention of the Catholic Church,
and the success of Catholic missions
everywhere emphasizes the value of
unmarried clergymcn. The priest Is a
soldier of Christ. lie should always
be ready to respond to Il call of duty
wherever there is work to he done.
No matter whether the summons is
for the plague stricken city, the abode
of the savage on the battlefield, he
should he prepared TO answer it. This
he cannot do If he has II wife to sup

An Old Negro's Conversion.

scription Of the book except that it was
n 'powcrful' exposition Of religious
truths. He had not been content TO
merely read the book. but he had be.

book over aud over, and had learned,
by heart long passages. which he was

He had. in Il very short time. become
very troublesome to his negro religious;
teachers. Through the knowledge that
lie iEnl gained from the study of the
book he was able to ask many u,lcs-
tons which the preachers ard deacons
could not answer. Soinsistcnt did he
become that the book was made an
issue. He was told that he must either
give UP the teachings of the book, or

In the next Parliament will he
missed one of the most attractive fig
ures which has of late years graccd
the English House of Commons; the
member for North LOngford, Mr.. JUS
tin Mccarthy, says the Saturday Ev-
cnig Post. His health will not allow
him to live in London, and so he does
not feel justified in asking his con-
sttuents to be returned again.
What is Parliamcnt's loss will be the
gain Of readers everywhere. Mr.. Nc
Carthy is now writing Il novel of life
in Ireland at the time when he was IL
young man. If it should prove to he
in any sense autobiographical 1t would
| be all the more welcome. For no more
willing personality than Mr.. McCar-
thy's can be imagined. The late Mr.
Parnell registered two descriptions of
him: '"rhc beau ideal of an Irish
member and q: nice old gentleman
for II tea party" Some thought the sec
Ond description an unkind one But no
one who knows Mr.. Mccarthy could
think it so. Being Il nice old gentle
man for all occasions. he is naturally
so for a tea party; and the pllrnsc in
dicatcs something of the exquisite. al
most old-forld courtesy which dis
tinguishcs him, ana the unusual gen

from the congregation. Every effort
was then made to steal the book from
INN, but somehow he managed to keep
it in his possession.
When Father Plunkett asked to see
the book, the old negro went to his
home and brought back a well-worn
volume, very dirty, and full of thumb
marks. He could not tell how the book
had come into his possession, or who
its author was, but he wished the priest
to pronounce it "authentic.''
The book was a copy of one of the
