The American Bible Society has been quietly
and unobtrusively weaving bond of interest
between South American republics and the
United States for more than torty years. Last
year its forty-four South American represent
tatives visited 1,129 towns and villages in South
America and circulated among the people
90,225 volumes of Spanish Portuguese and
other Scriptures. All of this work is under
the care of two agents, one residing in Rio
Janelro and the other in Buenos Ayres. The
visit of Mr.. Elihu Root, the Secretary of State,
to our sister South American republics and the
meeting of the Pan-American Conference in
Rio Janeiro, have awakened widespread in
terest ID this country in our nearby neighbors.
We would hope that whatever be the results,
politically and commercially, there may be yet
larger opening for the blessings which the Bible
brings.

OF the Western Section of the PRESBYTERIAN

1t is the vision of the stars that reveals to
us the universe of God. Without that vision,
the earth, this small planet which is our dwell
ing place, would be all we have How small
and meagre creation would appear! There
would be no light in any night no star to guide
the mariner; no nightly splendor; no knowledge
of other worlds, or other system, or vast abyss
of milky way; no thought of the boundless ex-
panse OF the empire of God perhaps no thought
of the greatness of our Maker, His power, His
wisdom and the majesty of His dominion over

There may be not as much consecutive Bible

Astronomy is only made possible by the earth
turning on its axis away from the sun. The
shadow of the round earth, long cone of dark
ness reaches out through space. And through
that dark cone, as through telescope which
nature supplies, we look off and see what we
cannot see by day. After the sun has gone and
the glaring day, we go out, and see that the
earth is. not alone, that there is universe, and
throughout its vast expanse there is law and
order and light and beauty; and there must be
maker and ruler, infinite, eternal and un-
changeable, worthy your alteration, our trust
and our obedience.

A DIFFERENCE ''1'. 81.
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.
