"A GREAT MISSIONARY MOVE.
 MENT.

The conversion of the world to Christianity is large work to enter upon. but the layn1eh of this country three years ago organized for this pur- pose and its members in five great civilized countries and it's annual dis 1ursements have reached about $175,- 600 a week, total exceeding $22,O00,- coo year, show how the work is pro- gressing. The annual convention was held in Baltimore this year, and with reference to its activity, The Ameri- can of that city said:
 There have preceded or else will follow the convention now in session fin this city "A other conventions in important American cities promotive of this laymen's evangelistie move irent. This energetic, conventional IElan, moving from city to city, ex- plains to an extent the quick expan- sion of this Christianizfng crusade. It is not letting any grass grow under its feet, so to speak But another explanation of the immediate success of the movement is to be found in the fact that it does not attempt to pre- sent something new or different from the estaplished missionary agencies of the various church organizations. It co-operates in complete harmony with those agencies, and, in conse- Quence, as soon as the proposition was presented each denomination took it up with almost avidity.
 "The great movement will take on additional momentum here and then move on, growing as it travels. A generation is a comparatively short time in the swing of the centuries, but after all, time like space and volume, is mere matter of ratio in comput- ing results. A movement which has developed so wonderfully in three years and which seems to be growing by geometrical progression, cannot be fprecasted as to its probable results by reference to ordinary standards"

have prepared us for them. Tn the arrangement of them nature has seem ed to have had due regard for our incapacity to fully understand them and our ability to compass them. Few become upset by their troubles and the keen often profit by them. A trial that doesn't have something more in 1t for us than distress is mighty rare trial If we are up to our opportunities. The live man never has so many trou- bles that life does not seem worth living to him. Few of us do as we please, but many of us find 1t profit able to do to please others. If we do not get what we expected out of life, perhaps we get something just as good.

Cough Weather

When the weather is cold and stormy most of us are more or less subject to the unpleasant experience of colds, with the consequent wearing strain of the cough and the danger of more serious trouble apt to fol- low neglect.
 People who practice deep breathing and who use ordinary care to avoid sudden changes of temperature, dampness and ex- posture, are less liable to take cold than those of less method ical habits. At the first sign of cold steps should be taken to check 1t. A simple, inexpensive and effective remedy is made by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a half ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. It is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co.,, of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing through druggists, that a tea spoonful of this mixture four times day will break up a cold in twenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curable.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
"And Be Ye Thankful"

So spake an early apostle of the Christian religion to a group of his converts, whom he wanted to build up in the fundamentals of religious faith and practice. He was in the habit of referring in his letters to various churches to the element of thanksgiv- ing as enc of the important elements in the equipment of the man who as- pired after a strong and symmetrical life. In Paul's judgment it was just as necessary that man should be habitually thankful as it was for him to quit his drunkenness and his steal ing.

Now, all this happened long before the Pilgrim Fathers of New England instituted their special seasons of thanksgiving for their fellow colonists, long before governors and presidents issued elaborate formal Thanksgiving proclamations, long before turkey and cranberry sauce came to be essentials of the yearly festivals, long before a great nation was officially summoned year by year to observe designated day.
 But the advance of the centuries and the development of purely local insti- tuition into countrywide festival have not by any means carried us on so far that we do not need to pay heed to this gentle, yet stirring admonition from the long ago. Suppose we should begin at once to say to ourselves and others at least two or three times a day until next Thursday, "Be ye thank full" would it not be the best kind of preparation for the sincerest, and hap piest Thanksgiving we have ever known?
 Here goes then.
 Be ye thankful, rich people. not so much for your mansions, yachts and automobiles as for the chance to ease the fearful pressure on so many poor and unfortunate men, in some such liberal fashion as Banker Ken nedy of New York through his prince " benefactions announced this very Thanksgiving month. has done for the ignorant, the suffering and the sinful in all parts of the world.
 Be ye thankful, poor people, for the foothold you have in Gods world, for the chance to better your condition by thrift and industry, or if that is not possible, to endure poverty in such a way that you may make 1t an hon orable, rather than a shameful condi- tion. Be thankful. too for the oppor- tunties to help those who are poorer than you.
 Be thankful. healthy people, for clear heads and sound digestion, for the jingle of life in your veins, for the present remoteness from you of hos pitals, doctors and nurses, for the abil- ity to take up your work day by day and to perform it officially.
 Be thankful sick people, for the many alleviations which modern sci- ence supplies for those who suffer for the devotion of great sums of money and the finest expert knowledge to the effort to conquer certain terrible dis eases. for the chance to glorify God even in invalidism by sweetness, pa- tience and resognation.
 Be ye thankful. young people, for the golden hopes, for the rich possibil- ities of youth be ye thankful, old peo- pie. for the seasoning and ripening of character, which only the passing of the years can bring. Be ye thankful, native Americans. and you who have come hither from other lands and tra- ditions, for this great, strong, splendid nation, still far from perfect, but year. ly becoming better. Be ye thankful. everybody, for life and for death. for earth and for-heayen.

How easy it is for a person of com plaining habit to make a case out against themselves. They are annoyed by trifies and incidentally fuss all the time over trifles, and it is no uncom- mon thing for them to make a worse case out against themselves than az linst their annoyers, to all their friends. The plaint is soon worn threadbare and they are a nuisance to all about them. While they look for sympathy. they do not get it, for their words excite ridicule rather than pity. It is not good to be a. fusser or a musser. There is no art in knowing how to scold or in becoming a con- firmed scold. There is virtue in know ing when and where and how to keep still, and for such a person there is sure eventually to be peace of mind and social quiet.

1t is something unusual for such a large number of wild geese to be fiy- ing south as were heard on Sunday evening, November 18th, between ' and 8 o'clock. They were flying low and honking on the east side of the city as well as the west. showing a width of2line of over mile; but it was not "a far, strange sound through the night, dauntless and resolute cry, clear in the tempests despite ringing so wild and so high" that Celia Thaxter used to hear and write about at the Isles of Shoals, but weary sound of low. uncertain flight, as if they were in plight and needed rest just for a night. They were down within gum shot range, though invisible, and were in evidence for ten or fifteen minutes. It was a warm night, and with open water north nearly to Labrador it Is taken as an omen of coming eold-the change we all so naturally dread.

The little girl who defined for her teacher the word gentleman" as "a man you do not know very we'll" de- served to be praised for it. She had not learned that mo man is great to his valet" or that Familiarity breeds contempt" Right fresh from the reel of her observation came this concept, as pat as you please. We are all so human. and so much alike. in some re- spects that one does not loom above another where the conversation is homely and elbows touch. Men who are great doers do not look different from the more moderate or 1shiftless persons about them when idlfng or in dulging in play.

As ] look over the fruit trees in city yards I often wonder how often they are pruned-how well they are taken care of Powell says every man should prune and cultivate his own trees, cut ting out the suckers and thinning out the interlacing boughs or sprays and lessening the wood upon the branches to reduce waste energy and increase the sunlight upon them. which means also to increase the fruitage. and feed them with ten pounds of ground bone and four pounds of muriate potash per tree per season; but from the number of nests of the fall webworms hang ing in the trees and the superabund- ance of limbs, am inclined to think that the average city tree and average country tree receive no attention whatever, that they are left to their natural growth and starvation and finally are cut down because they are wormy and unprofitable. The fact is, when it comes to trees or men too few know a sucker when they see it,

If you have growing boy who is bashful and shy-who does not seem to care for the society of girls or women, do not worry about him, for he will find his place in life, and the chances are that he will fill it satis
 factorily. He has his life to live out and what seem to you to be gross faults may be something else. It is easy for anxious parents to find fault even with good and promising chill dren. It is fact that shy boys often win most fame as men, and boys thought by their parents to be the most unpromising have become great captains of industry Many parents spoil boys as men do round trunnels by driving them into square holes. Shy Billy was a boy who annoyed his par ents by his flight from all strangers he simply would not see them, but when he became a man he was se- lected as chairman of the strangers

It was not designed that every good person on earth should look their part. If it had been we should the more readily recognize them singly or when in the mass. The men in prison look well enough when properly garbed and gathered at grand opera or in a Sun day school. The heroes are not men of finest form. nor the mentally great men of the most impressive presence. I once knew a fool of such fine pres ence that it was said of him, If he would only keep his mouth shut he would be mistaken for philosopher" :" If the combination was such that ev- cry person looked his part, we should not have had such a proverb as Beauty is that beauty does," or that Clothes make the. actress and lack of them the chorus girl" And it is just as well every man doesn't look his part. for the world needs a few surprises as well as a few. fools in disguise for its delectation

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Some men have such a prejudice against creeds that they do not wake up to the fact that they are really useful There are social creeds as well as religious and moral creeds, as well as business creeds. A good mot to for the shop or the home is. often m reality a, creed to live by. For in stance: Pay 100 cents on a dollar; be clean in body and mind; be a good friend and kind neighbor; be slow to believe islander and slower to circulate It, doesn't contain 39 articles, but 1t embodies all the essentials of hon. esty and honor, of. uprightness and decency. Lived up to, 1t makes the kind of citizen the church must re- spect and the world cannot afford to lose. It is something that can be worn on the tablet of the heart-be d matter of ready reference any mo- ment-and always prove satisfactory to the wearer and doer. Here wear ing and doing are as inseparable com panions as faith and works there. It is practical. not merely ornamental.
 The blowing leaf hath it's mission which Is to carpet and improve the earth and how neatly and compactly the wind packs them around the base or the rose bushes and vines and the rain comes and pats them down, the frost soon binds them together, and the frost-defying roots are made snug. so that whether their blanket of snow is denied them or not they abide for the summons of the sun which is get ting high at Eastertide. A wind borne maple leaf fell flat on the concrete walk before me the other day and it looked as beautiful as a yellow butter fly. l saw in it at once the line of beauty and the Gothic arch which were in it before man gave either a name or dreamed such things were in existence. also saw these tree feed- CTS which sit in the air upon the tree, as the sea -anemone sits in shallow sea water, and gathers the moisture and the bits of carbon dioxide in the cur rents of air passing by which have been exhaled by breathing animals and giving out oxygen to make the air pure again. We are all interrelated workers in the universe of God.
