sERMoNETTE.
Hobab, the brother.in-law Of
|. Moses, had. been sojourning
I with Israel at Mount Sinai,
, and when the time came for
!, the people of God to take up
|. their journey towards the
7 Promised Land, Moses in
I vited and urged Hobab to 60
, with them, promising him a
|, share in all the blessing which
! God had said he would give to
I his people. Moses invitation
, brought Hobab face to face
) with the most solemn issue
: which can come to any soul. A
I most momentous question had
, to be answered.:
. Should he follow God or fol-
! low self?
I Should he go to the Lane of
, Promise, or should he continue
to dwell in the old land?
! Should he choose Gods peo-
I pie, or the worlds people?
The acceptance of the invi-
tation involved: % A separa-
) ton, for God calls those who
would receive his blessing to
I "come out and be sepa-
rate" Man cannot have the
) world and God, too.
(2) A journey, for Coos call
! is always to go onward and up
I ward. And that journey is not
I always easy, for Jesus said: "lf
. any man will come after me,
! let him deny himself, and take
! up his cross and follow me-"
I But note that Jesus asks the
!. soul to go only where he leads.
But if acceptance of the invi-
: tation means separation from
. the world and worldly living,
|, and a somewhat hard and weary
) journey, still on the other hand
: is given promise of % A bet
I ter LAND. (2) An enlarged
; sphere of life. (3) The certain
/, ty of an enduring h%abitation.
7 (4) A share in the divine bless
I ing. (5) Fellowship with God
. and Gods people.
) Why is it, so hard to bring
I neopJe to ACCEPT the invitation?
I Why is it that, like Hobab of
; old, people choose temporal
) gain, worldly associations and
: worldly possessions, rather
( than God and his blessings?
; Only the Christian can truly
) say: "come thou with US and
: we will 60 thee good"
I The call to Hobab is the
!, call that comes to every soul to
} choose God rather than the
. world.
( Hobab's no shut him out of
, the Promised Land.
) No is a small word, but it bars
! many a soul from Heaven.
I There was a place and a
|, duty for Hobab among Gods
. people, and there is a place and
! duty for every soul in Gods
I kingdom.
: 1t costs something to break
with the old life, but great is
|. the reward, for "godIiness is
I profitable unto all things, hav-
!, ing promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to
) come"

Great Need Of Cities.

In an appeal for the cities, DR.. F.
M. North recently said: I'VE hear
that there are 10000 people in Alaska
to-day, and that the influence OF the
chief cities of Alaska is very great.
That is true throughout our broad
land, but do we realize that In five
years there have come into New York
city eight times more people than are
in all Alaska to-day? In some way
we must gather the forces of Chris

Do You Want 10 Know
What You Swallow ?

There is growing sentiment In this
country in favor Of MEDICINES or KNOWN
COMPOSITION. II Is but natural that one
should have some interest In the compo.
sition OF that which he or she Is expected
70 swallow, whether II be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognising this growing disposition
on the part OF the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add 30
the well earned reputation Of bis medi-
cines, DR.. X. V. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y,
has taken time by the fOrelOck,' as II

stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also OF his "FavOrite Prescrip-
ton" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and outspoken movement on
the part OF DIR. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed OF, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
Justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities OF all the several
schools Of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writer's
OF the several ingredients which enter into
DR.. Pierce's medicines. A copy OF this

KTSD0M SPREADING.

Some of the beautiful and enterpris- ing cities of this country are advertis- ing their enterprise and their charms And they find it pays. There is no element of risk in the spending of mon- ey by city for advertising" according to the Long Branch Record, which states that Atlantic City annually spends S1OO,O00 for advertising purposes, and increases and extends it's advertis- ing with each year. The Record adds: That population, temporary and per maneut can be attracted by systematic and intelligent advertising has been too often demonstrated to require argu- ment. With even inferior advantages the advertised city will draw more peO- pie than the city unadyertised. {" The Washington Star adds it's testimony to l the value of advertising a city, and n- sists that Washington may be made a commercial center by iudicious adver- tising The question, acutely discussed tn tlle eastern and southern press, was i brought about by the announcement that Richmond, Virginia had resolved to expend not less than S30000 annually in advertising the advantages of the city as a commercial. manufacturing and distributing point. The Birming- ham Age-Herald congratdlates Rich mond on it's public spirit, and asks how capital and labor are to be secured to Birmingham without advertisement of ! the industries, the growth and the in- ducements the city can offer and does offer when some one comes along and makes inquiry concerning them.
 Of course there are some cities, like New Haven and New York, that get all the free advertising they need. But there are many other cities which can profit by advertising, and it is an inter esting sign of the hustling times to see some of them doing it.

Behold This Mystery.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The following Illustration goes to show that life insurance needs a still deeper probing than 1t received at the hands of the Hon. Charles Hughes. Ills keen lancet reached only the financial tumor. There are other tumors more basic in their nature. some Of them congenital which need careful and prompt attention For example:
 Company K issues a policy for one thousand dollars of insurance on the life of Mir A, who Is just twenty-one years of age. He agrees to pay for it an annual premium, less dividend, of $l92O each, until he attains the age of 65 If he dies sooner the company agrees to pay the thousand dollars im- mediately to his beneficiary. If he lives until he is ca years of age, how ever. the company agrees to pay him personally the thousand dollars on the 44th anniversary of the issuance of the policy.
 On the same day Mir. A. gets insured in another company for the same amount, but on another plan, namely, the whole life" plan, and agrees to pay for it exactly the same annual pre- mium, namely, S19.2O, But he agrees to do so not only until he is 65 years of age, but as bong as he lives even if he lives to celebrate his hundredth birth day
 Now it would seem that since Mir. A.. pays exactly the same annual prem Im to each of the two companies the legal reserve and cash value of his pol- icy must be the same in the two com panies on the 44th anniversary of their issuance when he attains his 65th birth day. But such will not be the case. The legal reserve on his policy in Company X will be exactly one thou sand dollars, and the oash-surrender value of his policy that day will be one thousand dollars plus one years dividend. The legal reserve on his pol. icy in the other company, Company 2. will be exactly five hlndred and sixty.
