How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple. Safe, Reliable way. and 1t
Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DR.. Blosser, who,
for over thirty-four years. has been
treating catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t is not a spray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler. but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of them.
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again
breathe freely and sleep without that
stopped-up feeling that all catarrh
sufferers have. 1t heals the diseased
membranes and makes a radical cure.
so that you will not be constantly
blowing your nose and splitting, and at
the same time it does not poison the
system and ruin the stomach, as in
ternal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
j. w. Blosser, 612 Walton street. At
lanta. Ga, and he will send you by
return mail enough of the medicine to
satisfy you that it is all he claims for
it as a remedy for catarrh. catarrhal
headaches, catarrhal deafness, asthma,
bronchitis, colds and all catarrhal COM
pi1cations. He will also send you free
an illustrated booklet. Write him i'm

Charfes Stelzzle, head of the De-

Despite the financial depression of
last year, the contributions to foreign
mlSslonS mss In America increased by

the decrease in Great Britain was

An ambitious project of the Wash

association is to have every young
man who comes to the city as stran-
ger visited personally by some repre-
sentative of the Young Mems Chris
tian association.

When the unique procession of In
dians from all parts of Alberta was
held at Calgary some time ago. they
were accompanied by Rev. Mr.. Nc
Dougal, missionary who has given
his life to the red men. So notable
has been his work that when the
crowds that lined the street recog-
nized him he was greeted with cheers.
There was an average of 105,321
men present every Sunday last year
at eyangellstic services held by the

meetings were attended by 9S3,075
men, and 19.706 declared their puf-
pose to become Christians.
An innovation that may have far
reaching results is the arrangement
lately made whereby American Ma
tional. Red Cross accepts Sunday
school scholars as members under
special terms. An entire Sunday
school class may be enrolled in the
membership for one dollar year. The
scheme originated with Rev. G. A.
Brand, of the Congregational Sunday
school society, Boston. AS the Ma
tiona1 Red Cross has less than 10000
members, 1t is thought that this will
help to increase its roll very largely.
A new process has been invented
whereby both sides of a sheet of pa
per may be printed upon by the raised
point system for the blind. This re-
duces the cost of such literature near
ly one-half One immediate result of
the innovation has been the issuance
of expositions of the International
Sunday school lesson for the blind for
this current year. The United States
government allows free transmission
through the mails for all literature
lent to blind people.

BY WILLIAM t. ELLIS.

A man and his wife had been pre-
pairing several years for missionary
work in China. At least after an ex-
pensive journey, they reached that
great empire. But the sights and
sounds and smells were too much for
them, and, without even visiting the
particular field to which they were
bound, they returned home Like
Bunyan's PIable and Christian, they
were early engulfed in the slough of
despond. Like Pliable, they scram-
bled out on the homeward side. and
gave up their noble journey. The
travel world is full Of such folk. The
fieas of Japan, the filth of China. the
poor hotels of Korea, the seasickness
on the China sea between Hong Kong
and Manila, the heat of Singapore and
Colombo, the heat and disease of
India-such trifies as these turn them
from their goals, or else make their
journeyings miserable. Now it may
be written down as inevitable that
whoever would travel to any purpose
may expect 7tribulations by the way.
But the good traveller will never give
up. No troubles will be allowed to
engulf him. He will presevere to the
end In the log of Christopher
Columbus, it is said, This day we
sailed on" Doubt, discouragemen ent
and open mutiny aboard ship, as he
sailed those uncharted seas: but ''T'his
day we sailed on" It may even be
said that only they are worthy of their
all hindrances. Christian had his ups
and downs, and his dire besetments,
but he continued until he reached the
city.
The goal justifies the journey, what
ever the hardships by the way.
Somebody long ago said that the
membership of the church could be
divided into three classes; the jerkers,
the shirkers and the workers. PIiabIe,
Christians comrade for a time, was in
the first class. His enthusiasm was
