There is hardly parallel to this in the
whole history of missions. 1t was point
ed out by a native speaker at the de-

tlon seems insignificant for the work it
ought to do, but that it nevertheless
compares favorably in size and accom-

Doafas OF the west were ninety years

Ever since there have been Sunday
schools a problem met by superntend-
ents and workers has been that of fur
nishng good, singable hymns, that
would not only interest the children,
but also carry the Christian message
for which the Sunday school stands.
Many books have been compiled and
used, but it has remained for the
American Sunday School Union to at
tack the problem in new way. The
union appointed a committee to select
the 100 hymns and tunes that could be
considered ideal Sunday scshool songs.
The committee has just finished it's
work and the result appears in Songs
Of Service and Praise. published by
the union. Many Sunday school work.
ars are enthusiastic about it and say
the book marks an epoch in Sunday
school work. Certainly the American
Sunday School Union has added an
other to the long list of services it has
rendered the churches of America.

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning of a Chi
cago theater in which nearly six hun
dred people lost their lives, yet more
than five times this number, or over
5000 people died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year, with
scarcely a passing notice. Every one
of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from a cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use of Chamber
lains Cough Remedy. A great many.
who had every reason to fear pneumo-
MIA have warded it off by the prompt
use of this remedy. The following is
an instance of this sort: TOO much
cannot be said in favor of Chamber

for colds and influenza. l know that

Nothing so far has received more ia
Vorallie comment than the remarks and
position of Rev. Elijah Brown Jones.
One man said Il didn't know there was
as sensible a preacher in Iowa." What
this man intended to say was that he
didn't have the acquaintance of a min
lister that showed as much horse sense
when practical fight was on hand.
The general opinion of the public con-
corning the clergy in matters political
is that they lack the wisdom of the
serpent and are altogether as harmless
as doves. And so when the Rev. Mr..
Jones advises compromise they are as
tonished. All the more so because Mr..
Jones reputation as a radical temper
once man has extended outside the
limits of Marshalltown.
The trend towards socialism of the
