not be produced while the processes of
digestion are in active operation, it is
wise not to attempt il. 1t is never pru-

AN APPEAL FOR HELP.

Touching appeals from Christian
workers in the far east have come to
prominent citizens of the United
States, imploring aid for the sick and
wounded soldiers of both armies and
the multitude of destitute widows and
orphans of soldiers killed in the
war.
Rev. Y. Honda, principal of the
Aoyama Theological School at Toxic,
Japan, in recent letter says: 'How
long this distressing condition Of
things will last we cannot say. The
people are doing their best and every
charitable agency is taxed to the
utmost, but so numerous have the
impoverished families become that
our means Of immediate relief are
utterly inadequate Gould some gen.
eral fund be raised for this noble pur-
pose, and missionaries on the ground
be furnished with the means Of dis
tributing and alleviating the distress
of these families, it would indeed be
precious gift, and assure you

We may not help beligerents, but
we may help the suffering and dis
tressed. The Red Gross of Pity is
neutral in every CLINE, and the claims
of helpless children are a challenge to
Christian love and benefcence the
world over.
In response to the moving appeals
thus coming from Christian workers
in Japan, the japanese Relief Fund
has been organized to obtain the help
needed, and all funds contributed
will be distributed through the Evan

thousands of boys have been brought
before me, but none Of them were

what caused them to get into trouble
and have found that in most instances

and smoking cigaretts are response

yourself or the community, you can
not be idle. Don't swear gentle

Do1't read trash literature. 1t leads
to the devil. Don't hang around the

that way. Whenever you see man
