The Laymen,s Movement,

Our Lord, in Matt. 24:14, uttered
two great prophecies, both of which
at the time seemed almost inconceiv-
able:
1. This gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached in all the world for a wit
ness unto all nations"
2. Then shall the end come"
The first is a remarkable attestation
of our Lords divinity. Who can on
ceive of a mere man, and a Jew, linn
tied in all his thought to the narrow
national outlook of Judaism, with
such a conception of a kingdom Of
fered to all the Gentle nations and
such certainty of declaration as to the
outward sweep of his gospel? And
yet it was not the vision of a mere
enthusiast. who optimistically dreams
that all the world is to be converted
to his religion; no, such is his balance
that he plainly foresees and declares
that even to the end Of time many
will be in the broad way, few in the
narrow way.-Wm. A. Burch.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
:imable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, itchings,

To this end, nothing is SO pure, so
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-

when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
