\ Washington dispatch says
Col Chas. II. Jones. formerly of st.
Louis. now of New York. has been
in Washington for the past few days.
The Colonel is now editing Il trade
paper in New York. The erstwhile
writer of the Democratic platforms
did not receive much attention from
the Democratic leaders here, although
he visited the capitol on Sc .eral oc-
casions. He will probably attend the
Democratic convention in Kansas
City. but it is doubtful if he will exer-
Else much, if any, influence in Demo-
cratic counsels." Jones should have
been sat upon in 1896. No political
party can afford to own such a man
as one of its leaders.

Questions
for
Women

If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal. would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
lettering structure
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why. then. do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Conn.,
pound has stood the test of years. IL
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world. and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
Is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to 1t can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and others.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con-
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine.

ToPio-Christ cur missionary model-John iy,
S-lA (QuaTt srly missionary meeting)
Going through Samaria as the most
direct route on His way from Jerusa-
lem to Galilee, Jesus, weary and worn
from His long days travel, sits down
TO rest upon the curb of the historic
well of jacob. A poor. degraded, sim
full Samaritan woman comes to the
well to draw water. Though belong
ing to a race desTssed by His own peo-
pie, Jesus entered into conversation
with her and so directed it that He
made for Himself an opportunity to
offer her the water of life. In this in
cident, in a strange land. to the mem
her of a despised and sinful people Je-
sus preached the gospel, thus leaving
us an example of the truest and Hottest
kind of a missionary spirit and zeal.
l. Christ as a missionary was sent of
God, His mission into the world was
a divine mission. He came to seek
anl to save the lost as the business of
His Father From all eternity it was
arranged in heaven that Christ should
come to the world to offer salvation to
the whole world through His life and
death. The true missionary or soul
winner at home or abroad needs to
feel himself called of God. Love for
humanity, enthusiasm for men. will
not make us willing to endure and sac
rifice all that is necessary to save men.
The heather world in it's sinfulness
and degradation is not levable. Man
Is not attractive for his own sake.
Back of our efforts must be the inspi-
ration that it is Gods will that we
should give and pray and labor to save
the whole world. God calls us all to
he missionaries: not all to go to the
foreign field, but all to have some part
in the work of sending the Gospel to
the whole world.
2. Christ, as Il missionary, had the
true message, Himself. as the water of
life. Heathendom. like the Samaritan
woman at the well, is thirsting for wa
ter-the water of life. The soul Of
mankind the world over Is longing for
God. Men are crying out for the living
God. and in the efforts to find Him
they are bowling down to the creature
rather than the Creator, to the work
manship of their own hands. They
need Christ to quench this thirst they
need Christ to show them what and
where God is and how they may find
Him; they need Christ to give them the
water of eternal life. This must be
our message to a sin cursed and dying
world. Philosophy, philanthropy, hui
manitarianism. cannot satisfy this long
ing of heathendom. Only Christ can
do 1t.
3. Christ. as a missionary, was sue
eessful. He had many difficulties to
overcome. There were race difficulties,
religious prejudiees aud social obsta-
cles such as will be found in every
mission field. But Christ overcame
them all with the simple gospel OF
Himself as the Messiah and ths, water
of life. Thus by prayer arrfLAee'~A
