The Strength Of the Church.

there were then in this country
81, $50, $40 communicate members
Of the Christian Church, and
225, 900 churches. The popula-
tion of the country is about 80, :
10000 and this means that
there are about 60,000,000 who
are of church membership age,
so that more than half of the
adult population is in the Christ
ian Church. This is an immense
gain over the state of affairs at
the beginning of the nineteenth
century when only about three
per cent. of the people were in
the churches. Admitting that
this half of the population is only
half Christianized, yet this mass
of Christians is a tremendous
fact and force in our country.
1t is as yet only loosely organized
as an instrument of public opin-
ion and righteousness, but that
it is an enormous reservoir of
power cannot be doubted. 1t is
only beginning to find itself and
its day is yet to come. 1t has
put its shoulder under a few
things and has something to show
to its credit. Slavery never be-
gan to bulge until the churches
began to talk of it as a sin, and
then its day was short. 1t is
growing into a solid front against
the liquor traffic, and is slowly
pressing back this organized evil
into narrower areas and is sure
to crowd it off the map. 1t is
permeating our business relations
and transactions and will in time
write Holiness unto the Lord"
on the bells of the horses. 1t is
pervading our social life and look
ing into every human condition
and will in time cleanse the slums
and build a decent civilization for
all the children of men. 1t is
lifting up its voice against war,
and every Christian nation now
at war is trying to escape the re-
sponsibility for it and endeavor-
ing to throw the blame on some
body else. The church is yet in
its unframed youth, and when it
attains to full manhood and is or
ganized and drilled it will wage
battles and win victories of which
we do not yet dream. Like a
mighty army moves this Church
of God, and it is our business to
get into it's ranks and help to in
crease its unity and efficiency in
the service of building the King
dom Of God in the world.

CANDIES FOR CHILDREN.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., Ii. D.,
Commissioner Health.

Along with Santa Claus other
provisions is usually a generous
store of sweets. No matter how
many dolls and drums and
other things may have been re-
quested by the younger members
of the family, they take it for
granted that there will be candy.
Much of the indigestion and
consequent distress which follow
the holiday feastings is due to
the excessive use of candy by
both old and young. OF course,
the principal constituent of can
dy is sugar. Sugar is a food,
and one that is necessary to the
human body. 1t produces heat
and energy, but when taken in
excess, it undergoes fermenta-
ton in the digestive tract and
gives rise to various disturbances
in the stomach and intestines.
Not only this, but it overburdens
the liver with evil results.
If the children and grown-ups
are to have candy, it should be
eaten with or Immediately after
the meals. The usual custom is
to have sweets within every
body's reach and to stuff them
between meals.
To properly carry on their func-
tions the stomach and intestinal
tract require a certain degree of
rest. This is the reason that it
is much better to eat at regular
hours. When candy is eaten be-
tween meals, it means that the
digestive organs must be contin-
ually at work. AS a result, in
stead of exercising their func-
tions during the usual portion Of
the twenty-four hours, they are
overworked and it is not surpris-
ing when the consumption of food
is apt to be excessive.
Pure candies are not harmful
if they are taken in reasonable
quantities. Unfortunately there
is an enormous amount of cheap
candy sold throughoutthe country
which is grossly adulterate d.
Much of this is colored with coal
tar dye to make it attractive to
the eye of youth.
Following the holiday season
there is always a notable increase
in illnesses which are traceable
to disturbances of the digestive
system, and there is likewise a
perceptible increase in the NOR
tality from these causes. There
is little doubt that the overfeed-
ing and the excessive use of
sweets, which do not permit the
rational rest of the digestive or
gans and so reduce the general
resistance of the entire system.
is the cause"

PIONEER STORIES.
Interesting "reminiscences Related By
Daniel {. Fore, Esq.,, Of His Ex.
perieHceS in the Far West.

In continuation, of Mr.. Fore's
stories of adventure during pio-
neer days on the western plains,
we have selected short one for
this week that reveals some char
acteristics of wild life be it human
or that OF bird or beast. In this
instance the wild creature was a
human being. The second in
stallment of stories follows:
Seemingly authentic instances
are on record of how wild birds
and animals seek shelter from
their enemies, when hard press
ed, in the dwellings of men. Mr.
Fore relates an incident in which
a half-wild Indian exhibited this
trait and took chances to escape
from pursuing enemies by rush
ing headlong into his camp one
night. Mr.. Fore's party h d
moved camp that evening in or
der to place greater distance be-
tween them and a party of In
dians in whom he had little con-
fidence. They had settled down
the second time for the night and
Mr.. Fore was on guard on the
brow o. a hill when he heard run
ming footsteps appro C h ing.
Soon a lone figure appeared in
the circle Of light of the camp
fire. Not hating at command
to so do, the Indian (for such he
was) dived under a wagon and
lay down close behind one of the
white men who had retired for
the night. The Indian could not
be induced to make explanation
Of his conduct, and as he had no
weapons, and showed fear in
stead of defiance, the refugee was
permitted to remain under the
wagon at the side of the white
man all night. However, Mr.. Fore
had a clue to the wild mans con-
duct before the latter had been
in camp very long. Shortly af-
ter the Indian appeared, a gal
loping horseman was heard to
pass below them, whooping and
calling to some one. MIR. Fore
at once concluded that his guest
was an escaped prisoner, fleeing
from possible torture at the hands
of hostile tribe, although that
willy wild creature might have
timed the horseman in order to
deceive the white men in this
very manner.
Not wishing to kill the man,
nor to expose him to needless
danger at the hands of less civil
lized enemies, he was permitted
to remain, but was closely guard
ed. Next morning when tn e
teams were ready to start, the
Indian started with the party,
walking at the side of the wagon
between the front and rear wheel
for several miles. When they
reached an overhanging cliff,
seemingly too steep for any hu-
man being to scale, the myster-
ious visitor clambered up the side
of the cliff as nimbly as a fly and
disappeared over the top. AS he
never appeared again, and as no
hostile bands molested them that
trip, it was concluded that the
poor fellow had been so closely
persued the night before that, in
sheer desperation, he took chan
ces with the unknown white men
rather than be retaken by his
savage brethren and perhaps be
put to a cruel death.

not enough for sleighing; but all
signs point to the coming of plen-

You did pretty well back there
to have zero weather; but on last
Monday morning, my thermome-
ter registered 20 degrees below
zero, and, until yesterday, we
had a pretty cold snap. Today
is moderate, starting this morn

We had a beautiful fall. The
men on farms got all the corn
out of the fields and into cribs
before Thanksgiving, and with
out snow on it. Fine crop this
year for which they are now
getting SOC per bushel.
Not long ago there came a soft
spell of weather, with some rain,
and then a sudden freeze. That
made the roads very rough.
Now the roads are quite good,
and, if no thaw comes, we will
have find roads all winter. If

WORLDS GREATEST CANDLE

A giant candle, made in Harlem. N.
Y, and destined for St. Peters. at
Rome. was blessed before the altar
Of st. Biagio by the Pope and will
burn without drip for six long years.
Standing over IL feet high. weighing
over 200 pounds, and costing nearly
$1,000. the candle is made OF sweet
smelling beeswax. dipped with 200 dip
pings about a marvellous wick. From
within a foot of the top to a foot of
the bottom 1t is embossed In gold.
The centerpiece, of cunningly wrought
gold and dellcately carved wax, shows
lilies of the valley and lovely sacred
picture. The manufactures will not
tell the name of the person who or
dered the candle, saying:
When one has prayed long and
ceaselessly to the saints for health he
does not parade his generous attitude.
He lays what he has upon the altar
and goes silently on his way"
St. Biagio is the patron saint of
those who suffer from disease Of the
throat. It is the tradition that he
miraculously cured a little girl Of
throat disease while on his way to
martyrdom in the early days of the
church.

IS HOLY GRAIL IN GENOA7

A large green cup, hexagonal In
shape, which according to popular be-
lief was used by Christ and his apos-
ties at the Last Supper, is treasured
in the Church of st. Lawrence, at
Genoa, italy. It's history goes much
further back than that event, as It is
claimed that it was present from the
Queen Of Sheba to King Solomon. 1t
has been in Genoa since 1101, where
It was brought by a knight from the
Holy Land after the First Crusade.
For centuries It was not touched, al
though many Of the faithful wished
to adorn It with precious stones. This
was due not only to piety but to a
fear on the part Of citizens that
should It be broken, pilgrims would
cease to visit Genoa. 1t was thought
at one time that 1t was cut from an
enormous emerald. Napoleon took 1t
with him to Paris, persuaded of its
high intrinsic worth. Scientists con-
frmed the suspicion that 1t was made
Of glass, and Genoans got 1t back at
pretty much their own figure.
