PREACHING.

PREACHING is the truth of God coming
through the soul of man to the souls of
otner men. In this marvellous process
every power and every susceptibility-
especially each finest susceptibility
makes its characteristic contribution. The
truth comes through the preacher on its
way to the hearer, secreting from the
preacher and assimilating to itself the
pest that is in him, hallowed and vivified
with It's own spirit and potency. Thus it
comes to the hearer as truth embodied
clothed upon, not with a carnal body but
with spiritual body. 1t comes imper-
sonated, potent with all the soul forces
OF a living man. Thus magnifytng the
human element, we do not minify the
dlVlne. The saving power is the divine
power; yet preaching that has saving
power is not spoken by the Holy Spirit
put by man who is full of the Holy
Spirit. The word preached, like the word
written and ''the Word made flesh" is all
the more intensenly human because it is

Our friend, the Rev. l.. c. Vass, Jr.,
the captain of the new Lapsley, sends us
a copy of the Congo Missionary Con-
ference, 1906" Held at Kinchassa,
Stanley Pool, Congo State, January g.
IA, 1906.
This is the report of the third Gen
eral Conference of Missionaries of the
Protestant Societies working in Congo
land. 1t is well printed and neatly made
book, printed at the Congo Balolo Mis-
sion Press, Bongandanga, Upper Congo,
1905. Fifty-three missionaries were in
the Conference, representing six socie-
ties of the eight actually at work on the
Congo. Mr.. Hawkins was there for
our Luebo mission. This book is one
OF the most remarkable evidences of
mission progress, which we have seen
for long time. The book itself, and
the report it brings of the Conference
are both of very great interest.

BOOT AND SHOE TIPS

When Shoe Is Tight.-A shoe that
is uncomfortable from pinching may be
eased by laying a cloth wet in hot
water across the place where it pinches,
changing it as it grows cooler a num-
bery Of times. This will ~ cause / the
leather to shape itself to the foot: !, i:
For Muddy. Shoes.-Vaseline as g
tpreservative for new shoes which. have
become wet and muddy..is excellent.
First rub the shoes well with q soft
cloth and then remove all the mud.
Saturate. a. cloth with vaseline and rub
well into the shoes; stuff the shoes into
shape and let them rest for day,
then give them another dressing and
rubbing, and they will appear as good
as new. ~.
Keep the Ankles Warm.-Doctors
say that unprotected ankles are respon,
sible for many Of the illnesses from
which women suffer, a very large pro.
portion of which, have their origin in
what is termed t:just an ordinary
cold. = These ordinary colds would be
much less prevalent if only women
could be persuaded of the extreme folly
of wearing low shoes in cold or wet
weather. There is but little risk .o1
taking cold in the most inclement
weather during the. walks If the fee
and ankles be well protected. Ethe,
stout boots should be worn, coming wei
over the ankle, or else CATERS IN addi

During the summer outings you will
often find your pleasure interrupted by
the attack Of mosquitoes and gnats. No
matter how you try to protect yourself
with wells and gloves, smudge and
smoke, these blood-thirsty little demons
will deveur you and your life is made
most miserable. Since it is almost i'm
possible to be immune from these at
tacks it is well to provide yourself with
a cure to use at once. If you are wise
you will always carry in your pocket a
vial tightly corked containing ammonia
or witch hazel. Pure ammonia rubbed
on the bite will neutralize the poison
and prevent swelling. Arnica is anoth-
er remedy to allay Inflammation. In
riding thru country infested with
these insects you will find it much
more comfortable to have either one
Of these articles with you, and when
you return your face will not look as if
you had sudden attack Of the measles.
Another most excellent remedy which
will often prevent the attacks is fifty
drops of corbolic acid to one ounce of
glycerine, if the bites are lightly
touched with this they will almost in
stantly disappear. Bicorbonate of soda
made into paste with water and
bound on sting from a bee will cure
it in few minutes.
/ Those having a delicate skin are
often covered with heat rash OF

FOUR RULES FOR LIVING

First-Breathe at all times the open
air as much as possible, without con-
action of the chest and abdomen by
clothing.
Second-Drink freely of cool water
whenever thirst is present, except with
meals, and no other liquid at any time.
Third-sleep at regular hours with
the stomach entirely empty.
Fourth-Eat only when hungry, and
never within four hours previous to
or after night IS sleep, with no lunches
or nibblings except as part of the
regular meal.
All persons who adopt these four
rules for their guidance will find that
if they are now in good health, they
will continue so; if they are suffering
form any curable, diseased condition,
relief will soon show itself and in a
short time will become so manifest as
to convince the most skeptical that
they are on the road to physical hap.
