Y Il. c. A. NOTES.

The Worlds Conference of the Young
Men Christian Associations is to be
held in Paris, France, April 26-30, on
the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary
Of the first World Conference. 1t is
expected that delegations from twenty
five to thirty nations will be present,
each Of which will represent a nation
al organization. these having become
particularly strong and well organized
in India, China, Japa1, South Africa
ana Australia, as we'll as in the old
er countries.
1t was at the first Paris conference
in 1865 the platform was adopted,
which has proved to be the broad basis
upon which the Worlds Y. NJ. g. A.
movement has been developed This
action was shaped largely by two Am
erioans, George H. Stuart and Abel
Stevens, who were distinguished AS
sociation men Of their day.
The adherence of the Associations TO
the basis adopted fifty years ago will
be the important issue on which dis
cussion will center. In some coun-
tries OF Europe the Association has be-
come largely the organization of a
single church of which the pastor is
the president, and the Association is
merely class of young men. Iu a
number of the larger cities in Europe,
such as Berlin, Rome. Paris, Stuttgart,
the Associations have adopted the type
of Associations which prevail in the
Eng speaking nations and the Ori-
eut.
The conference headquarters will be
in the James Stokes Memorial Y. NJ.
O. A. building in Paris.
A large and representative party will
attend from America, sailing from
New York about March IS for Naples
1t will be received by the Association
in Rome Delegates from other coun-
tries will center at this point and will
together visit Pompeii. Florence, Ven
ice, Nice aud other southern European
cities before going TO Paris.
The Worlds Student Federation,
which was organized by the Y. NJ. G.
A. and works with it. will probably
meet in Holland Immediately after
this conference. Student leaders from
all over the world will attend it.

noon General Secretary Laumaster
gave his first of series of talks on
the fourth Worlds Sunday school con-
vention, held in Jerusalem, to which

the meeting enjoyed the brief account
of the plans leading up to and com
pretending the holding Of the Conven-
tiOn. After this the speaker took up
the convention proper, speaking of the
place where it was held in a large tent
outside of the city of Jerusalem and
of the native people who lOitered
about the tent. finally entering it and
enjoying the singing and the novelty
OF the services.

were 1902 delegates from England and
America, both delegations going in
seperate ships. He gave brief accounts
of the excellent addresses that were
made and told now the plan of holding
the convention at Jerusalem was first
| thought of. Then lie gave an idea of
what a great amount of good resulted
from the gathering and his talk in
general led up to what he will give at
future meetings 1t is his intention
to take up one address at least once a
month during the winter and to pres
ent other convention news, which the
people seem to hear with great in
teIeSt.

getting ready to do political battle and
to this end have established headquart-
ers in Danville. The Republican rooms

cur in the immediate vicinity may be
expected to be warm ones. for the
Democratic headquarters are right next
door to the Magill building.
The interior of the rooms will be
made comfortable aud attractive. In
the building there is great plenty of
room so that anyone who wishes to
visit the Republican headquarters ma y

Travelling in any direction from this
city through the rural districts during
the last two days, farm Is could be

large crops of corn that are being sue

same time all other clearing up work
is flourishing.
This Fall so far has been productive
of weather worthy of note that not

1t allows the public improvements to

SATURDAYS REUNION
At MILTON

Arrangements for the coming reun-
ion of the Twelfth Regiment Pennsyl-
yania Volunteer Association OF the
Spanish American War. which will be
held in Milton on Saturday, October
a9th, have been practically completed
and the only things needful to make
the affair a great success are good
weather and large attendance OF the
members of the regiment The latter
is reasonably assured. as the notices
which are being received daily by the
local committee indicate that a good
ly number of the boys will be on hand.
The sessions of the reunion will
open promptly at two o'clock with
President James B. Coryell presiding
and will continue throughout the af-
ternoon and evening. From FIVE to
seven p. m, supper will be served in
the Armory The supper will be Civ
en- at the expense of the association
and will be free to all visiting and
local delegates. This feature will be
in charge Of the ladies of Trinity Luth-
eran church.
Promptly at Z 80 p. m, the regi-
ment will form for short parade.
The procession will be headed by
Gaskins' famous military band OF Sun
bury. and this celebrated musical or
Ranization will also be present at the
evening session to play the soul-stir-
ring marches so dear to the heart OF
every soldier boy.
After the parade the camp fire will
be held in Wilhelm's hall. at which
time addresses will be delivered by
Brigadier General J. p. S. Goblin au d
other prominent speakers. There will
also be short stories and "reminiscences
OF the war by the comrades.
After the regular evening session and
until the time of departure OF the late
trains, the delegates will be entertain
ed by Harry McCollin Camp No. 54,
United Spanish War Veterans, and
this will doubtless be one Of the most
pleasant features OF the reunion.
The Volunteer Association is an en-
tirely separate organization from she
United Spanish War Veterans and ev'
eryone who served in the regiment in
1898 is entitled to attend as delegate.
Ii is to be hoped that every member
will consider it his duty to be pre-
sent. Milton comrades and citizens
generally will assure them a hearty
welcome and a royalty good time. =

claim fact. You can readily verify
such proof as the following:

Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me
eight years ago and the cure then
made has been lasting and ! have had
no return of my old trouble. Before

led with backache. | used everything

lameness over the kidneys and the ter
rible aching continued in spite of ov-
erything that | did and there seemed
to be no relief for me- | learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and read the state
ments made by people who had used
them, and concluded to try them. They
not only removed the lameness and
backache but they benefited my health

headaches to which l had been subject
