THE INDEPENDENT MAN
AND THE WoRK THERE IS FOR
 HIM TO DO TO-DAY.

The Church and lis NIission-It's Voice
 in Public Affairs--G Candidates for Po-
 sition of U. $. senat0f should be of
 UnbIemished Private and Political
 Character.
 Dr. Smyth preached at the Center church yesterday on the work for John the Baptist to do now among men. He drew picture of his unique inde- pendence; he had no institution which he might fear to hurt, no church to please, no committee to back and steer him, no property to preserve, no friends even to consider-nothing but his own head to care for, which he did so recklessly that he lost it at the request of a dancing girl. The independent man has a work of moral preparation to do now There are many offices he said, where clergyman might be kindly received, if he only preached the gospel; but he would, not be too well come if he should seek personally to in troduce John the Baptist there." He dealt directly with all the city of Jeru- salem. As one Illustration among oth- CTS of the work of moral preparation for Christs presence which John the Baptist might find to do now in public affairs as we'll as in personal relations, Dr. Smyth referred to a recent resolu- ton of the general conference of Con- gregational churches in Connecticut. xfyTtt... .1., ity to speak as 8 representative body of our churches throughout this state, composed as it is of lay as well as clerical delegates from all our churches; any important utterance by it should with propriety be read from all our Congregational pulpits, Without com ment now upon it's contents I will read it as an example of the needed work of the Baptist in public affairs:
 Resolved, That in the present con dition of things i'll Connecticut, the general conference is constrained to ex- press the conviction that candidates for the exalted position of United States senator should always be men of un- b1enished private and political charac- ter. We accordingly urge upon our people to do everything in their power to carry out the spirit of this resolu, tion.

Some of our Democratic friends are
much troubled just now because they
think President Roosevelt unsafe. "
He has had to deal, probably, with
more grave and delicate problems, de.
handing for their solution tact, pa
thence, self-control and sounder judg-
ment on his part than any President
since the close of reconstruction; and
while in many cases he has,done what
many people thought he should not
do, in nearly every instance he has
surprised and disappointed his num-
erous critics by complete success.
To note but a few illustrations, the
pacification of the Philippines, sue
cess of self government in Cuba, the
settlement of the coal strike and the
consumation of the Panama treaty,
with its assurance of an Isthmian
canal.

At first sparkling wines were only
made in the French province OF Cham
payne. In the early part Of the nine
teenth century the first experiments
to manufacture sparkling wines were
made in Germany. The wines. how

suited for this purpose. hence most
of the German firms manufacturing

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Nnety-nine OF every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when II was simple indiges-
ton. II Is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
.gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting II up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course Of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
