day by reason of a quaint custom which has been observed for many years. Hanging in the house are great number of biackened buns. and each Good Friday morning new. bun is added to the collection. There is a legend to the effect that the house was once kept by widow. whose only son went to sea, promising that he would return on the following Good Friday. That was seventy years ago, and the sailor has never reappeared. Through out her life, however, his mother clung to the belief that he would return. and each year she set aside bun for him. After her death the custom was main- tafned by the present occupier of the house and the sign was changed to The Widows Son."
 Another interesting and unusual cus- tom is celebrated in the Parish of St. Peters, London Docks. Following tho gregation is formed, the object being to impress upon non church goers the especial reason for the existence of Good Friday. and to this end the story of "The Way of the Cross" is illus trated at various stopping places by emblems and lay addresses from the preacher. Accompanying the preacher is man wheling portable pulpit and at each station" stop Is made. A picture Illustrative of the particular incident is hoisted on high, and a spe- cial hymn sung. Then the Father en- ters the, pulpit and addresses his audi ence, before which, at each station" the anthem: "Is it nothing to you. all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto My sor- row" is sung. ~
 On Holy Saturday the service begins with the blessing of the new fire struck from a flint From this triple candle is lighted, symbolizing the Trim ity and the Light of Christ. 1t is car ried in procession from the vestibule of the church to the sanctuary. The bap- tismal font and Easter water are blessed: some of the water being scat tered toward the -four quarters of the earth, to show the Catholicity of the Church and the worldwide efficacy of her sacraments, Returning from the font. the Litany; of the Saints is sung while the altar is .decked with flowers and ornaments; and the Mass is begun in white vestments. At the Gloria tho organ sounds, the bells ring, the joyful a11eluias are heard after the Epistle; and the great festival of Easter. with its triumph of life over death. Is joy- fully ushered in.

 dress Fly Governor Conner
 and MusIc Prepnred.


 banner day has been arranged for the members of the Sunday school of the Sonthside Baptist Church today. The entire morning will be given over to the work of the Sunday school A list of speakers has been arranged, and a very attractive program of music will be rendered between the addresses.

 The old members of the Sunday school at the beginning of the year organized themselves into committees and started to work in a systematic manner on the children who ought to come to Sunday school in the Clover dale district. Their efforts to secure new scholars has been untiring, and remarkable success has crowned their efforts.
 Not only has there been an active in- terest .n the securing of new members. but the workers, not content with this. have arranged special days, services and lectures to sustain interest of those newly becoming members. Each ser vice of the Sunday-school is being made as attractive as possible. that the new members may become sufficiently enthused to take up active work in the securing of new members themselves.

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.


 So common is the use of coffee as a beverage, many do not know that 1t is the cause of many obscure ails which are often attributed to other things
 The easiest way to find out for one self is to quit the coffee for a while, at least. and note results. A Virginia lady found out in this way, and also learned of a new beverage that is wholesome as we'll as pleasant to drink. She writes:
 T am 40 years old and all my life, up to. a year and a half ago, I had been a coffee drinker. About ten years ago. had dyspepsia so bad that often the coffee I drank would sour on my stomach and could not retain it.
 Severe headaches and heart weak ness made me feel sometimes as though were about to die. After drinking a cup or two of hot coffee, not knowing it was harmful. my heart would go like a clock without a pendulum. AN other times it would almost stop and I was so nervous l did not like to be alone.
 "If I took a walk for exercise. as soon as I was out of sight of the house I'd feel as if I was sinking and this would frighten me terribly My limbs would utterly refuse to support me. and The pity of 1t all was. I did not know lhat coffee was causing the trouble,
 ReadlnS Tn the papers tnal many persons were relieved of such ailments by leaving off coffe and drinking Pos aum, I got my husband to bring home a package. We made it according to directions and I liked the first cup. Its rich, snappy favour was delicious.
 'I have been using Postum about eighteen months. and to my great joy. digestion Is good. my nerves and heart are all right. in fact. I am a well woman once more, thanks to Postum. %
