ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that Il cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and it's component

Who is the missionary? Is it alone
the person who Journeys to foreign
lands, turning his back upon home
and loved ones for the gospels sake :?
Such definition excludes those who,
perhaps at greater sacrifice, surrender

out, also. those whose gifts and pray
ers and labors at home make possible
the departure of the worker for for
eign fields. Surely, it is not Gods
plan that a few individuals should be
chosen out of the ranks of all of
Gods faithful ones and to them he

and it will fight and struggle and re-
fuse to know defeat. Hope engenders
all the qualities of strength. 1t is the
very foundation of them. 1t gives JOY

A WORLD CONQUEROR.
If you live for Jesus Christ supreme
ly and put the interests of his king
dom first in your life his grace will en-
able you to conquer the world, the
spirit of which is explained in the
three words, 'sensuality," greed
"pride." Your appetites are held sub
for his glory. Neither covetousness
nor greed will force you to grasp the
yellow gold and hug it to your heart,
for, since you are in business for Jesus
Christ, you will hold all that you have
as his possession, and you Will count
yourself his stewards. As fame and
honor and prefermentr come they will
not puff you up with the pride OF life
which makes one supercilious and
vain. but you will lay all your honor
at the feet of our Saviour and proclaim
him before all men as your all and in
all. I give YOU this as the method, the
Christ appointed method, for the con-
troll of your ambitions. Settle the pri-
mary question as to whether you mean
to live for the glory Of God, and after
you will have no diniculty IN sowing

WOULD BOND CITY
FOR FIRE ENGINE
HOUSES
MAYOR THOMPSON BELIEVES Po-
LICE STATIONS SHOULD BE
PAID FOR SAME wAY--PRo-
POSES CHARTER AMENDMENT.


Mayor Thompson has suggestion
for an amendment TO the city charter
that may materially reduce the tax
levy In succeeding years.
He would have the city bond for
fire engine houses and police stations
which are being built just as bonds
are issued now for schools and sew
ers. These are permanent improve
ments and the idea Is that genera
ton should pay for them instead OF
the taxpayers OF a single year.
This year there are estimates In for
nearly $350.000 OF new buildings for
station houses and engine houses.
Il think that il is only fair that the
cost OF buildings such as these which
will endure for long time should
be spread over 80 years instead OF
being paid In one year" says the
mayor. This is an idea that can be
taken up with the legislature or, pos
sibly. the change can be made in tse
charter by the people and the repre-
Isentatives In Detroit II the new con-
stitution passes"
The mayor is. however. extremely
dubious as to whether the city can
bond itself for a. new convention and
music hall as has been talked OF. This
W ould be an Improvement costing any
where from 100000 to million dol
lars.
