ought to strive for large things, for
we are laborers together with Him,

Remember once more for our en-

Over and over again mas God surpris-
ed us and rebuked our little faith by
giving us more than We expected.
When the Increase Campaign began,
less than three years ago, it seemed
impossible that in so short a time
many of our States should add ten,
twenty, or thirty per cent to their num-
ber But thousands of new societies
have been the result. and the campaign
is still going ON with undiminished
force. It7 has spread into every land.
and Great Britain as well as America,
Asia and Africa as well as Europe,
have their Increase Campaign, which
are rapidly multiplying the number of
our comrades and tie value
work; so why should We not expect,
and within a reasonable time, too, to
reach our million goals2 Let us each
contribute our small quota, and thu
work is done.

These endeavors are all in the line OF

been the keynote of this convention
and which will, l profoundly believe,
be the keynote OF the church of the
twentieth century.
A Revival Century.
We are living in years Of revival in

hundred years before looks back to
the earlier years of this decade of re-
vival, a revival of interest in spiritual
things. a revival Of missionary zeal, a
revival of civic and corporate right
eousness.
The evangelist is coming to his own
again. Materialism has had its day
for the present; and spiritual truth is
taking its place as the only reality.
Then, fellow EndeaVors. let us put
ourselves in the way OF Gods plans;
let us allow Him to use Us in the great
revival which is on the way. which is
even now with US, though perhaps we
know it not. And let US take for our
high aim and purpose nothing less than
the evangeliZation of ou- young peo-
pie, our country, and the world.
Such a theme is but the continuance
OF the history OF the past quarter Of a
century, and advance step in the line
of march God has marked out for
Christian EndeavOT. May we not hum

the way for the present worldwide rev.

TOBACCO SECRETS.

Turkish and VirSinIan Leafs Are Va
rieties of the Same Plant.
How many people even among the
most confirmed smokers know what is
the difference between Turkish and
Virginia tObaccos?
The smoker, of course, can tell you
which IS which at the first Whit, but
If you ask him what the original dis
tinction is between the two he will tell
you that one comes from Turkey and
the other from the States.
He is wrong You could grow Turk
ish and Virginia tobaccos in the same
field, for they are merely two different
varieties of the same plant Turkish
IS the leaf of Nicotiana rustica, while
Virginia is Nicotiana augustipolia. OF
course the two are often blended by to-
baCconiSts.
Again, what constitutes the differ
ence between strong" and mild" to-
baccos2 1t IS simple enough. The strong
product is so manufactured that it
burns slowly, the result being that the
contained nicotine is distilled In an un-
altered state. Mild tobaccos are those
which burn well, and thus their con-
tained nicotine is consumed or decom-
posed, with the result that a less mar
cotic smoke is formed

fact is held proof Of the cabbage leaf

AS A WOMAN LUNCHES.

BY this time the first two cake and
coffeeites had finished. and an uncer-
tain looking woman sat down on that
side of the table. She looked at the
two opposite, glanced at the card and
said, Bring me clam chowder."
This IS fact, and there is every rea-

USE OF FRENCH WORDS.
A Practice That Does Not Help the
English Language


Why do people persist In using
French words when there are good old
English words to serve the purpose? =?
1t Is habit that IS growing daily. For
instance, at dinner people give you
menu instead of bill OF fare"
though the items are such English
dishes as boiled cod, roast beef and ap-
pie tart. One IS accommodated with q
serviette instead of a napkin, an Eng
lish word, but originally OF French or
igin, rs IS the Scotch word napery,
used for household linen. When you
enter a shop you are served with cor
sets instead of stays, costumes by
coStumiere instead OF dresses by
dreSSmaker. "Blouses" take the place
OF shirts or waists, and hose are Of
fered for stockings The former word
is, however, English. At the theater
we have programmes instead OF play
bills and matinees in place OF afternoon
performances. TOques are adjusted
with as much ease as hats, and we eat
in a restaurant as Cheerfully as IN a
dining room. There are, of course, un-
translatable words which must be
used, but our good old English Ian
guage is rapidly becoming a hotch-
potch Of foreign words, while telegra-
ply is doing its best to oust all the
crisp and racy Saxon speech. When
ever possible let us determine TO use
an English instead of a French word
both in literature and conversation
