Jehovah and had Get UP altars to
Baal and planted groves to that hea-

as in all cases with people who have

Canaan was overcome by Naphtali,

message to him was: "The Lord Is
with thee, thou mighty man Of valor.

Manasseh was oppressed with a sense
Of his own unworthiness for such a

Best Laxative
For Children

When your baby Is cross and
fretful instead of the happy,
laughing little dear you are accus-
toned to, in all probability the
digestion has become deranged
and the bowels need attention.
Give It a mild laxative, dispel the
irritability and bring back the
happy content Of babyhood.
The very best laxative for chll-
dren is Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin, because 1t contains no opiate
or narcotic drug. Is pleasant
tasting and acts gently, but surely,
without gripping or other distress.
Druggists sell DIR. CaldwelPs
syrup Pepsin at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle. For free
trial write to DIR. w. B. Caldwell,

the Bible to the people. This in
cludes not merely getting the book
in the hands of the people but many
times instruction in learning to read
and the explanation and presentation
of its truths. There must be given
TO Brazil the religion of Jesus Christ
the present corrupt moral and re-
ligious conditions Enlightenment of
conscience and renewal of moral
life are needed that true principles
of service and responsibility to
neighbor may develop.
1t has fallen largely to the women
of our church to give the Bible and
its teachings to this country through
its schools, aiming at Christian ed
Mcation to develop character and
teaching the relation the individual
bears to the kingdom of God and to
society. 1t is an endeayor to make
lives stronger, purer and nobler.
Much more attention must be given
to the training of our native teach
ers. Our schools are not preparing
enough helpers, and is it not true
that those who will best meet the
demands are those who have received
their preparation and normal training
through us?
There have been occasions when
our schools have faced the question,
not of securing a competent teacher
but of Citing one at all. Can the i'm
portance of having school for ad-
vance work and normal training be
overemphasized?

of the United States and Great Brit
ain will tomorrow observe the Tooth
anniversary of the ratification Of the
treaty of Ghent. by reminding them
selves that the day marks a CEN
tury of peace among the English
speaking nations.
The original plans called for a SER
les of celebrations in this country

Eve. but this is upset by the fact
that the ancient Belgian city is now
occupied by the Germans, with whom
England is at war
To mark the day, the American
committee and the British committees
which have been arranging for the
peace centenary, issued communica-
tions for simultaneous publication
Thursday morning in the newspapers
in England and the United States,
The British peace centenary com
mittee has purchased Sulgraye Manor
the ancestral home Of George Wash
ington, which was to be presented to
the American people. This and other
features of the celebration are to
be postponed until after the war.
The American committee notwith-
standing the war, purposes to carry
out in part the original intentions
to celebrate the peace centenary and
a communication issued tonight over
the signatures of a number Of widely
known citizens, urges commemora-
ton of the ratification of the treaty
by the United States, which followed
Immediately on the arrival of its
draft, which came in sailing ships in

SAGE IS DANDY
TODARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and lustre to. Hair.
You can turn gray, faded hair beau

tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you will get a 50-cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" at any drug store. Millions
of bottles of this old, famous Sage
Tea Recipe are sold annually, says
well known druggist here, because it
darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that no one can tell it has
been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray,
becoming faded dry, scfaggly and
thin have a surprise awaiting them,
because after one of two applica-
tions the gray hair vanishes and your
locks become luXuriantly dark and
beautiful-all dandruff goes, scalp
itching and falling hair stops.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur tonight and
you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful
appearance within a few days.

row peace messages would be deliV-
cred in l00 900 pulpits and that peace
programmes would be part of the
exercises of Sunday schools and
young peoples societies throughout
the country.
When the European war had been
in progress only a short time there
was concerted movement among the
prayers for peace in Europe in the
various churches on a given Sunday.
The spirit of the movement was well
carried out but the war went on.
The movement inaugurated for to-
morrow will be more widely adver-
tised and more thoroughly organized
than was the former peace Sunday.
There will be concerted action from
one end of the country to the other,
and even if there is no immediate
effect on the European war situation,
100000 peace sermons will be dis
tinctly educational and should have
good effect on the rising genera
tion of this country.
