Secretary Edwin Hill of the '. NJ c. A. conducted a most helpful seIV- ice at 23o o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Sheltering Arms. The subject of the address was, The Secret of Peace, and the text chosen, Thou wilt keep Him in perfect peace whose mind Is stayed on Thee because he truSteth in Thee. He who has a heart full of love for His children is able to keep us, he said With so many of us we haven't committed everything to Him. AS Christ stilled the storm on the GaIIilean sea- so now He can still the tempest in troubled hearts. In the world of strife and turmoil, amid it all, Jesus Christ enables us to have His peace in our souls. The secret of peace and happiness is keeping in constant touch with the Christ. In closing he referred to his recent visit to Philadelphia to hear Billy Sunday It was an inspiration to hear over IT, 900 voices, 1,500 of whom were in the choir, sing that faVorite hymn.

EMANCIPATION OF
 MAN FROM DISEASE
Some Late Scientific The ories Help to Explain the
 Force of Vitalitas

That ailing people can overcome and free themselves from disease is a new health thought that is sweeping around the world. Scientists are giving heed to it and many are proclaiming the theory as true.
 Health and strength are the natural heritage of every person, according ;o their theory. Any one who is ills can themselves engender a degree of vitality and return to health by correct thoughts and habits. It is being proven daily In multtudes of cases that nature may be wonderfully assisted in throwing off many forms of bodily ills by the use of natural Vitalitas. It helps to stock the body with the very mineral properties and forces which are lacking in impoverished and deakened systems Vitalitas is a natural road to health for many sufferers. The same end might be accomplished by adopting simple habits for prolonged periods, but many find such impractca if not impossible With Vitaltas the re- suits are far speedier. Marvellous reports are daily heard of sufferers of chronic ills being completely restored to health by the employment of this wonderful earth tonic. Vitalitas is just as nature made 1t, and is a marvellous corrective. It is not unpleasant and the most delicate invalid may take it.
