Edward Mcclellan Roberts, the Ed
ward being for one Captain Edward
Blackburn of the Twenty-hrst Mis-

that the Little Mac Junior" became
genuine child of the regiment.

an adept pupil of his elder comrades,
and he learned the art of swearing to

their hats when their pupil got busy.
While at mess he'd fire wad of oaths
at some delinquent servant and would
be abruptly commanded to stop i by
his astonlshed mother. When asked
who had taught him to say such
bad words he would blandly reply,
"Oh, Chap'n jenkins did" IL the tiny

ADVERTISING
HANDSPRING OF PROSPERITY
Benefits Consumer as Much as
Advertiser.

zines Possible.
~ o. A. CHARLES.

copyright by O. A. Charles, 1901
How often have you heard people
on picking up newspaper or maga
zine say, "Oh. there is nothing but
advertising in this paper?"
Have you ever stopped to think
what the advertising columns in q
newspaper or magazine mean to the
community?
Do you know that your own sue.
cess, regardless of what your occupa-
tion may be, was made possible by
advertising? Possibly not your own
advertising, but as surely as you
have been successful. you can trace
that success to advertising.
We are all proud to think that ths
United States is the most prosperous
country on earth, and we attribute
this wonderful prosperity to score
Of reasons; the great resources ol
the country, the freedom of govern
ment. the ability and inventive ge
MUS Of its people, and the encour
agement given the inventor. These
and a hundred more reasons are
given as the cause of our prosperity,
but have you stopped to analyze thi>
prosperity? Have you noticed how
prominent is the part played by ad-
vertislns7
Advertising Makes Demand.
Great resources, useful inventions,
would be of no value II there was no
market, no use for these resources or
products of the inventor. Advertising
makes this market. Supply and de-
mand govern prices. Good prices
make prosperity, but to have good
prices demand must be equal to the
supply.
Advertising creates the demand,
not only for the supply on hand, bu,
more than that; advertising makes a
demand for more than the supply,
consequently there is a rush to sup
ply the demand, and the country
booms.
AS advertising creates the market
for production Of all kinds and as
increased demand and production
make prosperity, don't you see that
the advertising of a newspaper or
magazine benefit you. the reader, as
much as the merchant or manufac.
turer who advertises?
Advertising Makes Newspapers and
Magazines Possible.

RUSSELL.
Pastor Brooklyn
Tabernacle.

Brooklyn. N. Y, January 16.-Today
began a series of Christian Mass Meet
ings, which are to continue during
four successive Sunday afternoons in
the largest Auditorium of Brooklyn,
the Academy of Music. under the aus
pices of Peoples Pulpit Associations.
The topic for the day was;-
"IVhdt Congregattondlists. Prcstyicfj-
iaHs dAd Aethodjsts must surrender IN
the interests OF Church f'cderation.'
Pastor c. L. Russell of Brooklyn
Tabernacle delivered the address. The
spacious and elegant Auditorium was
crowded so that al overflow meeting
with another speaker was deemed ad-
Fisable. On the platform behind the
speaker were several hundred men, ip-
Guiding number of ministers. The
audience as whole was very in
telligent one. The Honorable J. /
rutherford. Attorney-at-La intro
duced Pastor Russell. who said:-
! take for my text the Word of the
Lord through the Prophet, Say ye
not. A Confederacy, to all them to
whom this people shall say. "a Con
federacy; neither fear We their fear,
nor be afraid" Qsaiab viii. ~.
The desirableness of oneness in the
Church of Christ is beyond dispute.
The impropriety Of sectarianism or di-
vision is now generally conceded, al
though twenty years ago many de
Tended the divided condition of the
Church as being helpful. They point
ed to our Lords words. / am the Vine
and ye are the branches; every branch
ip me that beareth not fruit my Fa
thsr, the Husbandmap, taketh away
And every branch that beareth fruit
be pruneth. that it may bring forth
more fruit John xy, 1-5l. They claim
ed that the denominations were the
branches. The evident teaching of
the Master here Is that his people are
related TO him In all individual sense
and not as parties. sects or denomina-
tions. and that they are dealt with
from the individual standpoint as one
Church and not many.
st. Paul eDunciated the same great
truth q Corinthians xii. 13l, declaring
that the Lord Jesus is the Head of the
Church, which is his Body, and that
as the human body has many mem-
bers under the full control of the head
except when diseased. SO the Church.
as members in particular of the Body
of Christ, are all to be subject to the
Lord as their Head. They are all to
be SO connected With their Head, and
thus with each other. that when one
suffers all suffer with 1t, and when
one rejoices. all rejoice With IT. be-

the prosperity of the Body as a whole.
And as the joint supports and strength
ems the limb and is joined thereto
by sinews. etc.. so individually God S
people are united to each other in
the bonds of grace and truth and love
1t must be conceded that Church
Federation or Confederacy is in many
respects quite a different thing from
the Church's oneness Illustrated by our
Lords parable of the vine. and the
Apostles illustration of the human
body. Nevertheless since Federation
is proposed as the nearest possible an
proach 10 the spiritual enjoined Union,
1t is proper that we and all Christians
everywhere should enquire carefully
the cost and the gain implied in the
Federation movement. As the pro-
gram shows. this series of meetings
will consider impartially the cost Of
Federation TO the creeds Of the most
prominent denominations. First ia the
list today we consider the sacrifices
OF Congregationalism. Presby yterianism
and Methodism.
QJ As to church government very
slight concessions will be required OF
any Of the federating denominations.
DenominatioDaI liberties as respects
forms OF worship and methods of gov
ernment and discipline are to be permit
ted very loose rein. The Federation pro-
poses chiefly the regulation of home
and foreign mission work and q general
watch-care over the interests Of inc
federated systems along the lines OF
political influence. The expectation ls
that the political power of the Fedora
ton will have considerable to do with
moulding of legislation favorable to the
Federation. and later on. unfavorahle
TO the smaller denominations not asSo-
ciated in the Federation.
e, 1t is along doctrinal lines that the
sacrificing in the interest Of Federation
will be chiefly demanded.
poctrinaIIy Congregationalists and
Ersshyterians are one; hence we may
consider their sacrifices Of doctrine In
the interests Of Federation as the
