POSSIBLE NEW CATHOLICS

 The following are some of his most significant remarks:
 Its (Protestantism's) - sectar- iansm has been unanimously voted unloyely, impractical and out of date. It can never be basis for Christian unity for it is by nature individual istic and begets disintegration."
 The passing of Protestantism does not necessarily mean -Romanism as the present advocates of the move ment understand it."
 We want some kind of Catholicism something which has that concep- ton of universality and fulness."

Nature and a woman's work com- bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days ot our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baflle the most skilled physicians who have spent years In the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pc culiar ills, more potent and effica- cious than any combination of drugs.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 "Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years l had been suffer ling with the worst forms of female ills. During that time had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times could hardly, walk. About two years ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. l followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women"
 . What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, twill do for other suffering women.

the truth. certainly the mass of over subtle metaphysical theology which has grown up around the poetic sim pllclty of the teaching of Jesus shows plainly enough that western ciyiliza- tion has never been wanting in the talent for abstruse reasoning, and it is also plain to those who know any thing of Unitarian literature that our modern theology shows no evidence of a growing inaptitude for things theo- retical. Nothing then is needed but a Junction of this talent for abstruse reasoning with a good sense and breadth of view sufficient to bring about a procedure from sound sim pie premises to make the dream of a truly new Catholicism a possible reality. .~.

 Why" said Webster, T have paid the bill before The neighbor assur- ed him that he was mistaken. All right then; call again in the morning and l will settle with you" As soon as the man was gone Webster called his son Fletcher and told him to look over his papers and see if he could not find receipted bille To the surprise O. both two receipted bills were found, showing that the bill had been paid twice.
 Webster put the receipts in his pocket and said nothing. In the morn Ing the neighbor returned for the money. Webster took his seat under the old elm and ordered Wright to bring out the decanter. Filling the glass to the brim he handed it to the man and told him to drink. Webster then began: ''Mr. Blank, do you keep books?" The man assured him that he did not. Then I would advise you to do so,' said Webster, and pulling one of the receipts from his pocket handed ii to him
 The man was covered with confusion, while Webster continued: And while you are about it you had better get a bookkeeper who understands double entryn at the same time handing him another receipt. "Now." said Webster, "I am going to pay this bill just once more, but I assure you, upon my word of honor that I will not pay 1t the fourth time. e.''-Chicago News.
