The Mission Mail Bag.
THEY KNOW A GOOD THING.

Several years ago a national college
for the education of Hindu boys was
established in Jatfna, largely as protest
against the way the missionaries 'mo-
nopolized" educational work in Ceylon.
Its founders said, 1--WE want to save our
national honor, for it cannot exist when
the nations children are handed over to
foreigners for training" Great efforts
are therefore being made to secure an
endowment, and to raise the standard of
the college. In the circular appealing
for funds deep regret is expressed that a
large majority of Hindu boys still attend
the Christian schools, but the reason is
not difficult to find. Long before this
new institution came into existence the
American Board had founded Jaffna Col
lege, and for more than a generation it
has been sending forth a superior grade
of students. They fill important positions
in every walk in life, on the continent Of
India as well as the island of Ceylon.
Wherever they go their Christian char
acter and sound scholarship win respect
and admiration. Parents cannot help
seeing the difference between the two
types of school, and continue to send
their sons where the best results in edu
cation can be secured. The present is a
critical time III India, and the fact that
some of the ablest men in the new ma
tional congress are graduates of the
American Board schools is one evidence
that training for good citizenship is an
essential part of modern missionary work.

HOW WEAK GIRLS MAY
GROW INTO STRONG WOMEN.
A Reminder, Furnished by all Indiana
Woman, of the Need of Looking After
the Rlnnd SunnlY.

Reminder, Furnished by all Indiana
Woman, of the Need of Looking After
the Blood supply.
Every woman at some time in her life needs
a tonic.
At special times unusual demands are made
upon her strength. When these are added to
the worry and hard work which fall to her lot,
weakness will result unless the blood Is fortl-
fled to meet the strain.
Weak women find in DR.. Williams Pink Pills
the tonic exactly suited to their needs. Most
of the ills with which they suffer are due to
bloodlessness condition which the pills
readily cure. They save the girl, who enters
into Womanhood in bloodess condition, from
wears of misery and afford prompt and perma-
nent relief to the woman who is bloodess and
therefore weak.
Mrs. Victor Nowling, farmers wife, of R.
F. d. No. 5, Rockville, Parke Co., Ind was
bloodless from girlhood and suffered with
weakness until she took DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. She says:
"A few years ago began to get seriously i'll
although had been ailing long time before,
in fact from my girlhood. l was not at all
strong and was pale and thin. L kept losing
strength and had to give up dong my house
work At one time was obliged to go to bed
where was helpless for the whole winter. No
one can know what l suffered. My stomach
was in bad condition and would belch gas and
nothing but light food would stay on my stom-
ach / was reduced in weight and was very
much discouraged
q doctored with local physicians and at last
they practically acknowledged that they could
not cure me. My husband read about DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills and wanted me to try them
but objected and it some time before he
could get me to do So After taking few
boxes / noticed l was getting stronger and
later was able to sit up in bed. i continued
taking the pills until l was entirely cured. l
think that DR. Williams Pink Pills saved my
life"
Thousands of women have used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills with the most gratifying results and
no other medicine is so highly praised by them.

plains fully why DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
of benefit to women of all ages and is mailed

AT THE HALE HOMES TEAD.

TURNER, Me-, Oct. q. The homestead
+, of Senator Eugene Hale in this town was

celebrate the golden wedding anniversary
of DR.. John Cushing and Mrs. Hortense
Hale Cushing of this town. Mrs. Gus
hing is sister of Senator Hale. Anon e

cred at the old homestead to extend their

day, the place having been in the pos
session of the Hale family for three gen.
erations.

BIGGER THINGS THAN MONEY.

When Secretary Taft, at one time in
his career, was guaranteed splendid sums
of money by eminent law firms if he
would join them as partner, he replied,
"There are bigger things in the world
than money!" This is the spirit which
led Bishop Brent to prefer the Philip
pines as field of labor 10 a wealthy
diocese at Washington. 1t is the spirit
which led American missionaries half
century ago to establish Christian insti-
tutions in the land of the sultan. Today
they are having their reward in seeing
new nation rise from the ruins of old
Turkey. Out of these mission schools
and colleges have come the young men
who are equipped morally as we'll as in
tellectually for the stupendous crisis
through which the empire is now pass
ing. They are ready because handful
of far-sighted Americans, in the face of
incredible difficulties, and the belief that
"there are bigger things in the world
than money!" started half a dozen col
leges and scores of schools in which boys
have been fitted for Christian citizenship.
Central Turkey College at Aintab alone
has graduated $500 students in the last
generation, and three times as many
more have taken a partial course. AS
preachers, teachers, physicians, business
men and artisans they are exertlng
powerful influence throughout the land.
The total plant of this college, including
a hospital connected with the medical de-
partment, has cost about $4,000. The
annual expense of Harvard is nearly two
millions and Cornell, Chicago and Yale
each expends over million year. The
whole group of 26 higher institutions OF
learning now under the care of the
American Board could be supported from
an endowment about equal to the annual
expense at Harvard! There is no better
way to help along the struggle for liberty
now going on in Turkey than by strength
ening the Christian institutions founded
bv missionaries who realized that here
are "bigger things than money.
