A VISIT TO THE
GULICKS IN SPAIN

AS have just spent several days in
Spain, rejoice to bear my testimony
to the efficiency of the mission of the
American Board in Spain, under the
devoted leadership of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
H. Gulick. The Spanish National Chris
tan Endeavor Convention was held in
Madrid, the capital, in June, and not
in any one of the cities where the AM
erican Board churches are established;
yet most of the pastors of these
churches were in attendance upon IL
and took a prominent part in the eXer-
cises. and I had an unusual opportun-
ity 10 gauge their power and spirit
Never, in any mission field, have seen
pastors better fitted for their work. IN
tellectually and spiritually. In fact,
they would compare very favorabiy, IN
every way, with the pastors OF the
home churches.
The Spaniards are naturally an elo-
ouent race, and such preachers as Rev.
Henrioue de Tienda. the president OF
the Christian Endeavor Union; ReV.
Carlos Aranjo, the secretary; Rev.
Miguel Barroso, and others, would hon

their spiritual earnestness is fully equal
to their intellectual gifts. The conVeh-
ton was in every way a marked sue

churches of Madrid were thrown open to

SMOTHER A COUGH.

Press your hand hard
enough over your mouth and
you can smother a cough but
you can't cure it that way
The outside is the wrong end
TO work on.
SCOTS Emulsion thorough
w cures coughs because 1t
strikes at the root OF the
trouble. The throat and lungs
need a regular system OF edu-
cation to cure an old cough.
The point of value about
SCOTS Emulsion and coughs
is that, while SCOTS Emulsion
does soothe the raw throat and
lungs, it also nourishes and
heals the infamed areas.
1t replaces infamed tissue
with healthy tissue-the only
real cure for an old cough.
