Native American Drugs.

An alarm which will have a novel
sound to most laymen is uttered by
DR.. Henry Kraemer in the American
Journal of Pharmacy. 1t is that if the
present rate of gathering native herbs
and drugs continues for ten years it is
probable that our principal medicinal
plants will be we'll nigh exterminated
unless measures are taken to conserve
them.
The cutting off Of the forests also en-
dangers these growths. Some Of our
we'll known plants are already nearly
exterminated. Among these are spige-
liza, serpentaria, senega and cypripe-
dunn.
The following classification is given;
Cultivated medicinal plants in the
United States. 100; wild indigenous OF
neutralized, 17S; foreign plants that
might be cultivated, Sc; foreign plants
uncertain as to cultivation, rs. APP
proximately three-fourths of all medic.
inal plants are growing wild or in cul
tivation in this country, and of the
rest probably one-half could be grown
here

two thousand men who are not ready to
let Christ lead them as he would.
The Loyal Few.
But / cannot close my study of this
mighty theme of the church as a con-
quering army without telling you, my
people, the object l have in view.
First, want to kindle to holy zeal the
scores and hundreds and thousands of
churches all over the land which have
been for years torn and rent asunder
with internal strife. Pastors are dis
couraged, people are discouraged,
Christian communities are discouraged
about them. oh" these people say,
I'VE are only a little handful. We
have dwindled down and down until
there is hardly any membership left.
What are we to do?' Why, We dis
couraged churches, by the grace of
God We can do everything. God has
been sitting your membership until the
best are left. You are now a Gideon's
band. United and welded together by
trouble you can accomplish wonders.
1t was not by great numbers that Gid
con won, but by the loyalty of a few.
My second purpose in this sermon is
to show you that these conquerors over
the Midianitish hosts were ordinary
men. Who were they? We don't
know They were selected at random.
Some came perhaps from wealthy
homes; some came from the homes of
poverty. They were all selected simply
by the way they Tapped up the water
when they drank of the famous brook
So God is going to judge our available
ity to be among his chosen followers
by the way we are ready to do, in his
name, the little things of life. He will
judge whether we are fitted for mem
bership in the Gideonite band by the
way we smile a good morning; by the
way we help upon the car poor wom-
an with her basket; by our willingness
to sit by a humble sickbed; by the way
we lead in prayer in the house of trou-
BILE and by the way we forgive.
Under Christ's Banner.
The third purpose: l would show
that these three hundred immortal
Gideonite cOnQuerors were all volun-
teers. Christ's disciples must be volun-
teers, not conscripts. One of the most
horrible pictures ever painted was that
by NJ. Clairin, called the "COnscripts."
1t shows an African scene where hun
dreds of young men are manacled in
chains and are being forcibly compel
led to enter the sultan's army. AS con-
victs they are being driven away to al
most certain DEATH But Christ's army,
like that of Gideon, has in it no con-
scripts The Christian soldier of the
church must be a volunteer. Will you
enlist under Christ's banner? Will you
go forth in the name of this church, a
united band, to march against the Sa-
tanic hosts? Will you go forth a har-
monious company of Christians, ready
to battle in Christ's name? Will you
not realize that all your past trials,
whether in church or out of it, have
been only means used to fit you for
ultimate gospel triumph? Will you be-
come a member of Gideon's band?
Many a foe is a friend in disguise.
Many a sorrow a blessing most true,
Helping your heart to be happy and wise,
With faith ever precious and love ever
new.
SO stand in the van;
Strive like man;
This is the bravest, the cleverest plan:
Trusting in Christ will you do what you
can?

The wedding of Miss Florence ANN

residence of the brides parents, Wal
kiki road, last night was an event OF
unusual interest owing to the populari-
ty of the bride and the groom, as wei
as the members of the wedding party
Miss Anny's fresh. vigorous beauty
appeared to its best advantage in her
lovely white wedding gown. Few brides
have realized the expectations of her
friends as entirely as she did. She and
Mr.. Devereux were a strikingly attrac-
tive couple when the Rev. w. NJ. kim
eaid of the Central Union church pro-
nouneed them man and wife. Each of
them has a delightful charm of manner
and carriage.
The maid of honor, Miss Gertrude
Lutted, is possessed of much distinc-
ton and performed her part with grace
and ease. Mr.. Draper acted as best
man to the groom. The Miss Temple
tons represented the Christian church
members. Miss Amy Roe became a
member when the late Rev. T. D. Car
win preached in tent on the old palace
square and succeeded in establishing
the Christian church in Honolulu. Amy
Roe has been the organist, secretary,
many, years. The church not having a
permanent preacher at the present
time and the evangelist being busy. the
Rev. Mr. Kincaid was called on and
pleased all. The bride was given away
by her father, William C. Roe.
Amy having been born in Honolulu
has many friends. The wedding taxi
ing place earlier than expected has dis
appointed numbers of them. The cou-
pie expects to take a trip to the st.
Louis Fair after spending their honey
noon at the Moana Hotel.
