CUBAN PREPAREDNESS.

Through the courtesy Of Mrs.
Jno. T. Valcourt, who kindly
translated the subjoined letter,
we learn that the demands of war
and the necessity Of preparedness
are appreciated by the leaders
among the Cubans, as is made
manifest by the generous offers
of assistance made by the Colonial
Sugar Co.. through their Admin
strator General, Mr.. H. NJ. Remy
Ca former New Iberian). Accord
ing to Gel Mundo," the leading
daily of Havana, this letter has
been printed in circular form, and
posted at every farm and sub-dl-
vision of the immense estate adj
ministered by Mr.. Remy, so that
its offer may be seen and taken
advantage of by as many as pos
sible. The liberality of the prop
osition made the poor of Cuba IS
well worthy Of emulation by the
large planters of this section:
"Having before us, the en-
trance of the United States and
Cuba into the great European
War-one we can almost call
universal. 1t is the duty Of all
of us to practice certain econo-
mics. And above all, to find a
way to be self-sustaining. Con
sequently | believe it urgent to
ask all to plant those nutritive
products. possible at this time ct
the year.

Though wonders have been ac-
complished by this man of
prayer yet only the outer edge Of
the harvest has been gathered.
There is much to be done and
much to be given to this work.
One missionary writes, 1.-The time
seems ripe and the people ready
to receive the Gospel and truly
the harvest is great and the reap
ers few.
A missionary when asked what
were the great trials they had to
bear, answered, First, separation
from our loved ones, which is a
great sacrifice; second, lack of
funds when there is so much to
be done; and third, the indif-
ference Of the people back home.
They will not pray for us. Where
is the money, where the needed
workers and where are those who
will assist us with their prayers.
The mountaineers need you and
me, our money and our prayers
and those of all christianity. The
world shall never be won for
Christ until the Gospel shall be |
preached unto all people. "

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAL0MEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and eSerybody's druggist has noticed
a great fallingo in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson' s
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs 50 cents and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tast-
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels 1t
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.

church after church, sent missio-
nary into these hills when the
Synod met and ordered him not
to build so many churches and
schools as they could not afford
to pay for them. Then a wonder
full things happened-wonderful
because it was so simple in a man
of great faith. He resigned and
before the Synod, uttered these
words: Brethren, if you can
not afford to pay for the schools
and churches and the missionaries
for the poor Highlanders, God can
pay for them. And he went
back home in Wilmore, Ky.
There he knelt and asked God for
help. The money commenced to
pour in, church after church has
been established, school after
school has been built, missionaries
after missionaries have been gath
cred for these fields. The orphan
children were gathered into a
home, cared for and educated.
In 1911, DR.. Guerrant who, up
to that time, had sole responsible
ity for this work, turned over to
the Presbyterian church all his
work including fifty missionaries
and property consisting Of church
es, schools and orphanages, val
ued at $4,000.
In ten years 1862 missionaries
by this society held over
$4,000 public meetings at 10,069
places resulting in 1904 CONVEX
sions. They taught S79 Bible
schools with 1886 pupils. built

among them being Beechund

MISSION DAY AT PRESBY-
TERRAIN CHURCH.

In the little "church around the

and strong, that the walls must
either be pushed out, or an eX-
tension built. The Ladies Aid

for every meeting. Last Tues
day was Mission Day, and many
excellent papers were read, but
unfortunately we were just too
late to hear them. The one fol-
lowing however, was so full Of
interesting information and val
liable statistics that we asked the
privilege of letting one of our ex-
cellent newspapers spread the
news around; Mrs. W. G. Weeks
very modestly agreed. So here it
is:
"Our church this year is MAX

since the death of it's founder,
the name has been changed to the
Guerrant Inland Mission.
DR.. Edward 0. Guerrant, the
founder of this Society was the
Pastor Of the aristocractic First

A PRAYER,

Great God Of War, to thee we
bend,
Uncertain what may be the end
In this our nation s travail
Shall ruthless deeds by alien
hands
Defle our peaceful meadow lands I?
Shall savage horde by TeutOn lei
Trample and stain our fields with
red,
Or shall we triumph 0 er the foe?
Yet as we plead on Bonded knee,
With sacrifice upheld to thee,
a sigh Of deep unrest
Comes from the nations riven
heart
And bids us rise and take the part
Of those who die upon the main,
By order Of the tyrant slain
In peaceful pursuit felled.
Great God Of War, if war alone
May for the sacrifice atone
Let not the hot blood rise
And stir the savage dormant
strain
That mayhap in our breasts would
fain,
His cruel plans Of death unfold,
To blight our heroes stainless roll
By lust of blood.
Nay let US hesitate and hold,
Back from the world the challenge
bold
That trembles now,
On lips that fain would hurl it far,
To mingle with those dogs Of war
That bay on Europe's bloody plain
Teach us the terror of thy name
LEST we too, forget.
