New York few weeks ago to the
Thirteenth International Sunday
School Convention at San Francisco
Is Of special interest to the Chris
tian world This was probably the
largest shipment of single edition
OF the Bible that has ever been made.
These Bibles were used In the
adult Bible class parade at the con-
vention, each member carrying q copy.
They were then returned to the con-
vention hall. and placed in the form
of a huge pyramid. 1nasmuch as the
motto of the convention was The
Open Bible and the Uplifted Cross"
such an array of Bibles was of real
significance.
After the convention these Bibles
are to be distributed in the rooms OF
hotels on the Pacific coast by the
Gideons. the organization Of travel
ing men that has already placed
thousands of Bibles in hotels through
out the country. Eternity alone will
reveal the results of the distribution
Of these Bibles In the Fastening OF
the coming of the kingdom of our
Lord, who has promised that his word
shall not return unto him void, but
shalt prosper in the thing whereto he
sends it.-Sunday Scool Times.

HOME CURE FOR RHEUMATISM

Do not waste time nor take chances
 f becoming cripple or helpless .ufferer from Rheumatism by trying
 0 cure the disease with external ap- ,lications alone. Such treatment sometimes gives relief from the severe pain, or may reduce the inflammation of a swollen joint or muscle, but the effect cannot be more than temporary. Each day the cause is allowed to remain in the system Rheumatism gets a firiner hold on its victim. Purify your blood of the infammatorY uric acid and then you will cure the disease permanently. The system will respond more quickly and surely to S. s. $. than any other treatment. This great blood purifier possesses the penetrating qualities necessary to drive out every trace of urate matter from the circulation and build the blood mp to nourishing and healthful condition. Only pure blood can overcome Rheumatism, and 5. s. s. surely creates pure blood. Thousands have cured themselves of Rheumatism by using s. $. S., a medicine made entirely of roots, herbs and barks; no harmful mineral enters into its composition, and ;. s. s. is therefore safe for any one so use. Write for our book on Rheu- niatism and ask for any special med ical advice. No charge for either. s. $. s. is sold st drug stores.

In some parts oi the empire signs of uneasnes> among bank depositors appeared. Tn, failure of the Bank of Egypt did no, help matters.
 The gravity of the situation appears from the fact that in a single week the Imperial bank lost $S9,000.O00 Oi its cash reserve. This is rather larger loss of cash reserve than tn, New York associated banks suffered in October. 19O7, when they resorted t. clearing house loan certificates anC restricted cash paymentS-leading tn wholesale dislocation of the coun- try's banking system. There was no restriction of cash payments at Der lin however. On the contrary, in six business days the Imperial bank in creased it's loans and discounts by $145 00O 0O0, and in order to do so increased its note issue by Sl54, ,000.0 900 
 Thus. notwithstanding the severe strain and the large loss of cash October settlements were met withOu: 9 hitch and Berlin paid back to Paris $150.000.000 of call loans. Ten days later the discount rate of Berlin had fallen to f per cent.
 All Of which shows how a great central bank can deal with crisis. What would have happened here un- der like conditions? Perhaps another suspension of cash payments; another breakdown of the banking system, another six or eight months "f busi- ness doldrums-because we haven't the apparatus to meet q crisis. We know we are rather more liable to fiscal conflagrations than any other great nation; but we rely upon noth- ing but a volunteer bucket brigade to put them out.
