 How our hearts filled with joy as we watched the vast throng of people turn their faces to- ward the Methodist church yes tcrday afternoon! For what were they bent? What carried them out from their restful Sab bath afternoon hour at home the one afternoon only in which the busy father and husband can truly enjoy his home, so pressed is he with the cares of business during the week? An. The re sponse comes: To show that they were on the right side for the children; to show that their faces are set like flint against the encroachments of this arch enemy of their homes drink habit and the liquor traffic. And well they might. It is the very evil that is keeping the 90 per cent of our young men from our churches; it is the thing that is causing many of our hearts best beloved to be spending their brightest and best days behind prison bars ekeing out a miser. able existence, yea, worse than death. Were the christian peo- pie to unite at one election only, they could sweep it off the map of the United States and have a surplus of votes.
 Now, in consequence of the glorious meeting yesterday, we shall expect to hear our phone ring ever and anon through the week--womer giving their names as active members-men giving theirs as honorary-thus build ing up the work that stands as a tbeacon of light to the sin-stained and whiskey soaked victim of the whiskey traffic.

Previous Congresses.

There have been previous congresses
on aerial navigation, more CT less in
teTnatiOnal; at Paris in 1888 and IN 1890.
at Chicago in 1893, at st. Louis in 1904,
and at Milan in 1906. There was also
conference at Brussels from September
y 20 i OF this year, at which papers
were read on periodical movements OF
air currents. atmospheric dynamics. the
speed OF the winds, and the varying
temperatures at great attitudes. The
previous congresses chiefly discussed the
means and methods that might be en-
pioyed to achieve success; they pointed
out the COHJeCtuTed way, and now that
success has come. in a Tudimental way

President Willis L. Moore
Tells of Progress in Aerial
Navigation.
Flying Machines DiSadVant-
ages Are Outlined in
Addresses.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8-An extensive
and varied series Of papers and az
dresses have been prepared for the in
ternationsl aeronauic congress, which
begins its two days sessions today an
the rooms Of the Automobile Club OF
America, in West Bifty-fourth street.
Papers have been prepared by some
Of the most experienced aeronauts and
members Of the United States Weather
Bureau. Some Of the contestants IN the
st. Louis balloon races will tell Of Cheir
trips. The subject OF aerial navigation
will be discussed from many sides.
Prof. Willis I. Moore, president Of the
organization, made the opening ad-
dress.
He said in part:
I'VE meet TO interchange ideas on
aeronautical subjects at a particularly
suspicious time. In calling attention 70
the more important achievements in the
development of methods for the con-
quest of the air, and in f0recasting the.
future OF this important field Of human
activity, / have drawn literally uron
the knowledge and experience of that
splendid man ana engineer, Octave
Chanute. Since the last international
aerOnauucal congress, that at Milan. in
1861, two practical solutions Of the prob
lem of aerial navigation have become
established. Several dligibIe balloons
have been produced which are truly and
efficiently navigabIe. and a dynamic fly
ing machine has been evolved which
has flown many times. the maximum be-
ing twenty-four miles at stretch.
Moreover. there. have, been great ad-
vances in meteorology. 50 that we arc
now well on the way to the domain OF
the air.

Why SIoan's Liniment and VET
Urinary Remedies Are the
Best to Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Linz
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market today. In the first place,
Dr.. Earl s. Sloan is the son OF & vet
Urinary surgeon, and from his earliest
Infancy be was associated with
horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. he prsctised as a
veterinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis.
ease to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re.
lieve suffering while he was practis-
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
s. Sloan, els Albany Street, Boston,
Mass, will receive SLOANE Treatise
on the Horse" free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs and
poultry.
