decision to hire the rcvivalist is made
by the selfish sister. who believes that
It will be cheaper to pay him than TO
give better wages to the workers In the
family factory.
There are pages of Mrs. Martins char
acteristic Pennsylvania Dutch conrcrsa-
ton which tighten a somewhat somber
and preachy tale. The title suggests
the point of view. There is no doubt
that the author regards the attitude Of
the young sister and hat or tho hero
as genuinely Christian and not fanatical,
n that the application OF the theories
which they advocate would solve the
ills of society. It is evident from what
has already been said that the novel Is
a sociological tract as well as n melo-
drama. Those who read for the cNcit-
ing story nay skip the pages of argu-
ment. and those who are Interested III
propaganda may skip the story and find
food for thought in the argument.

loss of young men full of vigor and

Rev. DR.. ]. p. Jones, of B~ournemouth,
England. His argument for the reality

mainly Upon the Resurrection of Jesus.
After a consideration of mans nature
he confidently holds that 'our dear lads

great things Christ did for us was to
give US deliverance from the enslaving

to come is something We should long

Spiritual Realities

1t is a brief but stimulating little
essay that Doctor Slattery. rector OF
Grace Church. New York, has written
under the title 1.-THE Holy Communion
His purpose is to Undue the communi-
can't with a deeper, personal sense OF
Christ's presence by emphasizing the
close and intimate relationship between
the physical and the spiritual. Employ
ing the atomic law as the basis of his
syllogism. he seeks to show hat the two
are virtually identical. Hence his con
clusion, 'the only happy way TO live Is
to have Gods character. through

For Colds and Grippe
Follow Doctor 5 Advice

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the flrst step in
the treatment of a cold cough, infiu-
enza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk calomel purgative, prefera-
bly, the nausealess calomel, called
Calotabs." This alone is often suff1-
cient to break up a severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack Of grippe
and possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water--that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your
entire system is purified and refrsh.
ed. Calotabs are sold only In origin
al sealed packages; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Price re-
funded il you are not delighted.

GERMANY WANTS PEACE

The German government wants a
peace meeting and on Oct. Sth sent
our government the following note
through the Swiss legation:
"The German government requests
the President of the United States ii
take steps for the restoration OF
peace, to notify all belligerents OF
this request and to invite them to
delegate plenipotentiaries for the
purpose of taking up negotiations
The German Government accepts as
basis for the peace negotiations,
the program laid down by the Presi-
dent of the United States in his mes
sage to Congress of Janpary 5, 1918.
and in his subsequent pronounce
ments, particularly in his address of
September 81, 1918. In order to
avoid further bloodshed tn eGerman
Government requests to bring about
the immediate conclusion of a gen.
eral arrnistice on land, on water and
in the air.
MAX, PRINCE OF BADEN,
Imperial Chancellor"
To this note our government re-
piled:
"Sir: l have the honor to ac-
knowledge, on behalf of the Presi-
dent, your note of October 6, enclos-
ing the communication from the Ger
man Government to the President;
and am instructed by the President
to request you to make the following
communication to the Imperial Ger
man Chancellor:
Before making reply to the re-
quest of the Imperial German Gov
ernmenF. and in order that that re-
ply shall be as candid and straight
forward as the momentous interests
involved require, the President Of
the United States deems ii necessa-
ry to assure himself of the exact
meaning of the note of the Imperial
Chancellor. Does the Imperial Chan
cellor mean that the Imperial Ger
man Government accepts the terms
laid down by the President in his ad-
dress to the Congress of the United
States on the Sth of January last and
in subsequent addresses and that its
object in entering into discussions
would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
.'The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
1igerty to propose cessation OF
arms to the governments with which
the government of the United States
is associated against the Central
Powers so long as the armies of
those powers are upon their soil.
The good faith Of any discussion
would manifestly depend upon the
consent of the Central Powers inn
mediately to withdraw their forces
everywhere from invaded territory.
THE President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the I'm
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities Of the
Empire who have so far conducted
the war. He deems the answer to
these questions vital from every
point of view. Accept, sir. the re-
newed assurances Of my high con-
sideration."

The revival at the Methodist church
which begun last Sunday morning
with the opening sermon by Bishop
Bristol, who delivered a wonderful
sermon, using for his text: 1--WE are

growing in interest and attendance.
The spiritual life of the church is
being quickened under the plain and
practical preaching of EVANGELIST
Pat Davis, who we believe Is Gods
messenger declaring fearlessly. yet
lvingly, the whole counsel of God
The song message under the splen

Wall and his excellent wife is i-daad
an inspiring factor IN the meeting.
The junior choir under the direc-

10 do their Christmas
shopping earlier this year

cooperating with the merchants you
will aid them in the conservation of

earlier Christmas shopping in order
that transportation facilities may
not become clogged with Christ
mas rush as in former years. BY u.s.
ing good common sense and economy
in making purchases you will also
be aiding the conservation pro-
gram. The merchants have been
asked not to employ additional
salespeDple this year, and
not to observe late clos

this the hearty
cooperation
of the
people
of the

will be
neces-

can. One way
you can help
