REGINALD M'cALL TO
 BE SPEAKER HERE
Is to Appear Before Meeting of the
 Mccall Auxiliary.

At a coming meeting of the Nor Nich Auxiliary of the Mccall mission in Paris the members are anticipating the great. privilege of hearing Regi- nald L. Mccall. who has just returned from France
 The Mccall Mission had its start in 1872 when meeting place was open ed on a street most frequented by working people. and very soon the working peoples quarters of Paris and it's suburbs were. dotted over with simple halls where the love Of Jesus Christ" was taught both by word and deed to a population almost totally ignorant of religious truth. Sunday schools, holiday schools, Christian En- deavor societies, fraternal societies, temperance societies, were establish ed in the halls, which were soon to be found in principal cities in all parts of France. Mission boats were added to carry the Good News to waterside towns and villages. many of the lat ter without a church of any kind :; portable halls were sent to prepare the way for a more permanent work: an automobile mission carries the mes sage to market towns where on cer- tain days the country folk congregate the chauffeur standing up in his car to tell the Gospel story and afterwards selling Testaments and Scripture DOT tions to the peasants who throng around the car

 After This Treatment
(Helns to Reantvl

The paste is made by mixing some water with a little powdered delatone. When this paste is removed and the skin washed every trace of hair has vanished. Be sure to get real delatone.
