It was during the first few days Of November that Rev, John |" Davis, pastor Of Trinity M. F.. church, con ceived the idea of organizing large bible class. His idea al that time was not particularly to make it non ,denominational class, hut simply a Methodist class. ]. M. Bnrdick, now first vice president Of the t,Neryman' < class, was acting president at a sup per held that night in the din'ns rooms Of the church.
 At this meeting Rev. Dr. c. r. Bar tholow, of Trinity Methodist church in Mount Vernon, New York, was the principal speaker. Rev, br. Bartho' low is the head of a class of l.6oo men and his prominence attracted a number of men not connected with any church. to the supper.
 Voted To Be Non-DcnOminational
 Immediately following the address delivered by pr. Rartholow. a bible class was formed and plans were made for future meeting to make the organization permanent and adopt a name. The enthusiasm shown by the men that night was contagious and when the first oftcia meeting was held in the chapel one | evening during the following week. |

UNION BEING DISCUSSED
Benefits to .bc Derived From Amalga- nation Of Interest in Newfoundland and Canada Outlined.

Halifax, N. S., Feb. 9.-union be- tween Newfoundland and the con- federation of Cauada is again being discussed in articles recently appear ing in newspapers at St. Johns. This proposal has for many years been the subject of bitter controversy on the island.
 One writer urges the union on the theory that the Reid railway in New foundand immediately would be made a part of the trans Continental system operated by the government. New foundland would undoubtedly be re- lieved of paying the $1,500,o0o subsidy recently granted the Reid railroad. 5
 Another writer believes that Can adian statesmen are already convinced of the desirability of a union with Newfoundla and, because the island s geographical position is the key to Canada's future.

Mrs. Mary Zoboli is a native of Italy and true 10 the motherland in many ways and yet she IS thorough-going American, and proud of her American-born sons She resides at No. 4 Carleton Street Cambridge Mass. Like all mothers, she experiences the sorrows and troubles that come from having her children afflicted with colds, sore throat and so on. She has two fine boys, and she says:
 My boys used to lose a good deal of time in bad weather from coughs and colds that made them unfit for school, from which they suffered greatly, and of course suffered with them.
 "A couple of years ago was told about Cerlzane, and it certainly is the greatest cough balsam ever made Ever since l learned of it, have given it to my boys whenever they have any form of cold. It loosens hoarseness right up, allows them to raise the phlegm that seems to choke them, and may truthfuly say that Ceri- zane really keeps my boys at the head of their class in school
 'I have also used it myself very sue cessfully, and recommend it to any one suffering from any form of coughs, colds, pain in chest, or headaches from colds,
