THE CHURCH COLUMN.
(By REV. C. e. scUDDER)


The topic for next Sabbath morn
ing is stability, and for the eve
ming, "soul Windows"
The topic for the prayer service
on Wednesday eve ing Is "sancti.
fieation."
The Cantata next Friday night.
Let me add a word. It is the view
of the writer that the young peo-
pie of the church an Sabbath
school, for their own sake, should
have a large audience next Friday
night. No admission fee will be
charged but silver Offering will be
taken which will go for Sabbath
school work.
Let us keep in mind the lecture
on "Paris and The Parisians" by Dr..
Ryman to be given April 18th. DR..
Ryman is highly appreciated by the
church of his choice and has been
honored with the eldership three
times. He comes to us with his
popular aud instructive lecture on a
renowned city and people. This
will be rare treat for Milford
Music for the evening will be fur
nished by the school and our male
quartet.
Court again. Troubles to settle.
Still there is sin even in as delight
full a place as Pike county and sin
will make trouble. l hope that all
will get justice and go home not
only wiser but happier. Is thai
hopir g the impossible? If it is i'm.
possible then let us learn that whaI
law can not do Divine Grace car
and he who appeals his case to the
court of Divine Justice will be able
to carry with him through life {
peaceful conscience knowing full
we'll that no injustice will prevail
there.
The whisperings of the approach

changes that we're apparent a few
weeks ago. Our sympa thy goes oui

the difficult task on hand of recon.

Well, it's a good sign for
SCOTS Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like other
things and SCOTS Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not well made-and
all Of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
SCOTS Emulsion fixes all
kinds. 1t does the work both
inside and out. 1t makes soft

The Wise Farm Wife
Exalted.

Miss Mamie Vlckroy, of Macon,
Macon County, Mo-, has been
awarded prize for the best ans
wer to a question put to 200
school teachers IN her county, says
the Atlanta Journal. The ques-
ton was, "who was the greatest
woman in all history" and Miss
vickroy's answer was as follows:
sThe wife of a Missouri farmer
of moderate means, who does her
own cooking, washing and ironing,
brings up q large family of girls
and boys TO be useful members OF
society, and finds time for her own
intellectual. aud moral Improvement
is ..the greatest woman in all his
tory"
Miss vickroy's originality in
overlooking Catherine the Great
Joan of Arc, Queen Victoria,
Florence Nightingale, Francis E.
Willard and even Susan b. An
thony, had probably something to
do with the decision of the judges,
Int her concise and cleyerly-put
answer is in itself great. arga-
ment a. we'll as statement of fact.
Miss v,ckroy's conclusion not
only applies to Missouri women,
h.+ tn women the world over.
