kOOA OUT
FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol-
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed all over the
South. Malaral and kindred fevers
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The system Must Especially Be For
tilted to Resist MsisrIsi Attacks.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrate
ed that for this emergency, DIR. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind of iron supplied by DIR. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until
you are attacked. Take itnow and for
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard
and, at the same time, it is the best
tonic and invigorant for the entire sys-
tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison begets greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.
Where a bad case of chronic Malaria
already exists, take DR. HARTER'S

guaranteed to cure. Price 90 cents.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOH TOPICS
March ga Mission Study Of Africa" ps.
xviii. 1881; lisa. Kill Z.
Lesson Thouqhts.

Africa is known as "The Dark Con.
tinent." Christ Is the Light Of the
world and he has made each one
OF us to be bearer OF the light. Has
the shining of your light done any
thing to scatter the darkness of
Africa?
Africa gives the gospel better well
come than does almost any other
heather land-"stretching out her
hands unto God" Yet it is said that
only two million out of Africa's 2OO,-
100000 people have ever heard the
gospel
The liquor traffic is the burning
crime Of Christian nations against Af-
rica. One of the most practical mis-
slonary efforts we can make is to use
our influence with Congress and other
wise to prohibit this traffic.
Selections.
Africa is ninety times the size of
Great Britain, over fifty times that of
France or Germany, over five and one
half times that of the United States
(exclusive of Alaska), and over three
times as large as all Europe; with
total population Of upwards of 2O0,-
100000.
Mohammedanism and Christianity
are the two rival forces which war
against barbarlsm. Christianity
advances with the sword or paper
treaties in one hand and the Bible
or case of gin-in the other, as 1t
appears to the native mind. 1t Is no
use quarreling with the comparison;
1t Is a just and faithful Cne. We
should see ourselves as others see us
in our acts; and not as we too often
see ourselves-in our proclamations.
The abominable traffic in liquor and
firearms paralyZes all the efforts of
missionary and philanthropic enter
prise; and 1t Is associated in the ma.
tive mind with Christianity in the
same way as the slave trade is as.
sociated by us with Islam. We sup.
port, or at least we do hot suppress.
the one, and we decry and endeavor
TO stamp out the other; yet both are
equally scandalous and blood-guilty
In short. it Is no exaggeration to say
that progress in Africa is impossible
until the traffic in both these abom.
nations Is destroyed.

The habitual drunlsard of England must

Every State in the Union now requires
the effect of alcoholic liquors to be taught
IN the public schools. In this system OF
laws our country is ahead of all other ma.

Lady Cecilia Roberts, daughter of the
Earl and Countess of Carlisle, speaking at
Yelverton, England, on the subject Of tenn.
perance, said IL they could destroy the
drink traffic they would be able TO abolish
nine-tenths of the prisons.
"The world has less and less use" re.

the young man who drinks whisky" and
the Chicago Tribune adds: "While the
young man, II he drinks enough whisky,
has no use whatever for the world"
The Glasgow city fathers have deter.
mined to abolish barmaids. They think
the rum business is demoralizing enough
anywhere without adding other tempta-
tions to 1t in the form OF attractions Of a
social sort which might easily degenerate
into vice.

A part of the great field OF warfare

warriors, is the continent of Africa

explorer, David Livingstone, stands

perils he knew not when we read how
at last on his knees. alone in the depth
of the continent he loved. he met
death, how the natives buried his
heart in the continent for which he
gave his life. we feel that he has
sealed Africa for God
But his was not the only life which
throbbed with earnestness for Africas
salvation. Melville b. Cox, the MON.
