Glad Things from Japan.
Philadelphia. Pa.

During the summer of 1890 and the spring of the
following year it my privilege to meet something
more than hundred and fifty audiences within
the bounds of our beloved Southern Church" On
these occasions we told of the progress of Christs
kingdom in this Land of the Rising Sum- What
thu impression made on those who gathered to
hear eyewitness relate What he knew concerning
the advance OF the Masters cause in this extreme
portion of his vineyard, vivid and most pleasant
memories of the aforementioned still lnger
with the writer. Can l ever forget the eager audi
ences that met us day after day we toured among
the weaker churches OF Fayetteville Presbytery?
Can l forget that all the churches visited,
whether in the Presbytery just named, in Richmond,
Petersburg, Lynchburg, Lexington, the Valley OF
Virginia manifested the keenest interest in the great
of Foreign Missions? While the large major
ity of our brethren in the home land may not know
what it is to make real sacrifice for the sake OF
sending the good news" to those who have not
heard the message of divine love- l did learn of
OF sacrifice that very touching and help
full; and if the whole story told, doubt that
among the churches which reference is made there
very many who shall be rewarded openly by him
who knows the thoughts and actions of the
heart. Especially do L remember the kindly recep
ton and the delicate courtesies shown to us by our
brethren in Christ wherever we called to go.
Is it any wonder that after eight years of isolation
should be greatly affected by these and many
other evidences of your love and living interest in
the that lies close to Saviour's heart?
The fact is, dear brethren, since my return L have
greatly longed to write to many of you thank you
for your prayers and labor of love, but the inability
of writing many individual letters has prevent I'd
from engaging in so pleasant indulgence and
instead of writing to individuals, through the
columns of religious papers desire send this
general episte to all whom it my privilege to
meet when l was in America.
Knowing the sincere interest you have in this work
to which you have sent us take this opportunity
to tell you something of the condition of this por
tion of the worldwide field In general, l find
very decided improvement in the attitude of the peo-
pie towards foreigners such, and what is still
more matter for thanksgiving there seems to be A
greater readiness the part of many to look into
the claims of the gospel. By this we do not mean
that there is opposition; on the contrary
some of our recent converts have encountered de-
termined resistance the part of relatives. Just

in divine and personal Saviour. A dead Christ
might have been a teacher, a worker of wonders,
and be remembered and loved as such; but only
risen and living Christ could be the Saviour, the
Life, and the Life Gver, and such preached to all
men. The fact of the resurrection of Jesus is the
foundation of the church, the inscription the ban
ners OF her armies the strength and comfort of every
Christian heart and the grand hope of humanity.

An insurance agent should be a
responsible citizen as well as a
capable insurance man, because
fire insurance is too serious mat

slider through whom you want to
settle.

a full quota of favor at the hands
of the audience that will witness
the performance. The bill is one
of the best of light operas in the

cast their friends may expect tc

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using any thing else for indi-
gestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermenta-
tion of undigested food. regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they
took when feeling bad and dull
with headaches and other aches
You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower, in liq-
uid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. For sale by w. j. Dan
iels.
