Manager’s^Column, ONLY ONE RULE. We notice from reports sent in by tbe different persons that sev eral ministers have'positively re fused to pay up their back dues tc the Star, or to renew for another year; or if they r enew, it is only for six months. This treatment of the Star, to which they like so much to write and express their sentiments, is rather cruel. But we serve notice upon all such now that if their subscriptions are not paid promptly the dear Star that they 'love so well will be cut ofl without ceremony. All must abide by the one rule. This ap plies to every subscriber to the Star of Zion and will be rigidly enforced by the management. We have been pained at the failure of some men whom we have hitherto regarded as good men, but who have been receiving papers from us to sell for several months, (and they must have sold them) who have failed to remit s penny for the same. These brethren—pasters, for the most part—certf.inly should care more for the Department they are continually praising so much. We shall publish the amout paid and amount due of all our sales men in December. Brethren, il you don’t care to be exposed, please settle up now. The Evil of Deferring Conferences, Some of the Bishops, the pow ers that be, have done us more harm than they know by postpon ing some of their Conferences. The Publication Department is de pendent to some extent on the sub scriptions paid at the Conferences. Our bills for paper and other ma terial were made to fall due about the time the Conferences were to have been held. They fell due as we expected, arid we are in a di lemma. As a result there may not be any issue of the Star next week, so as to allow us to meet obligations which must be met forthwith, whether the Star twin kles next week or not. It is more important to meet these bills than , it is to publish ;he paper for next week. We have strained every point and used all means in sight to meet our Fall obligations and would have been able to meet them if these Conferences had not been postponed. For the sake of the Publication Department alone we hope that hereafter there will be four strong Conferences held in November no later than the middle of the month.

Man ager Blackwell deserves commendation for the magnificent work accomplished since he has had charge of Zion’s publi cation interests. We bid ourbrethen God speed in this good work.—8. W. Chris tian Advocate. ONCE MORE. BISHOP J. \f. HOOD, D.D., LL.D. Mr. Editor: I do not like to write so often, but the Editor will keep saying things which do not fit the facts; therefore I must again call him to the book. He admits my correction, but says, “Of bourse that law was made with the belief that each Bishop would raise the entire as sessment levied on his district. ” Not so. The assessments were not dreamed of when that law was made. The; assessments were an , after-thouglit, and nearly the last thing adopted before the close of the General] Conference. It came into my mind after some other provisions had failed. I wrote the assessments;, shpwed them to Bishop Lpmax, he approved, and I offered them to the General Conference and they were adopted. Respecting the Editor’s sugges tion, I think that he overlooks the fact that the greater part of the $4,000 takep from the Bishops last year and paid to General Officers and others, remains unpaid. Pos sibly these belated Conferences may enable the General Steward and General Secretary to even up matters. Though hot pertinent, yet I may add that the first district has raised its assessmenc each year since the General Conference, and 1 it is assessed at the average of 1 $833.33 for each Presiding Elder’s district. We shall do our full share. 1 11 , Fayetteville, N. C. T ZION’S! GREATEST NEED. BY BISHOP GEO. W. CLINTON. -Mr. Editor! A few weeks ago it was suggested through the col umns of tile Star that the forth coming thanksgiving day, No vember 24th, be observed in all our churches and a special effort be put forth to raise a Thanksgiv ing offering for our Church Ex tension department. I wish to again invite the atten tion of the whole Church to this matter and urge our pastors throughout the entire Connection to give out the Thanksgiving ser vice next Sunday, and urge the people in1 general and all church members in particular to turn out and obserjve the day with becoming reverence! and gratitude and em phasize the service by a liberal contribution t» our Church exten sion work, t Zion’s greatest need to-day is a Church extension fund! If we raise the amount asked for by the Church extension secretary, I am sure the Church will be given a forward move such as it has not had in twenty years. There are important points which could be taken and built up if we could give or loffch them from §100 to §300. The opportunities now pre senting ^themselves are rapidly passing jfrdin us, and others are taking advantage of them. We lost a good brick church at Kan Cityi Mo., which was offered sas for $90Qj by paying §50 cash, on account i of another party hearing of it and putting down $100. Do Zion ministers and members desire to see our Church increase 25 per c|ent during the remainder of this quadrennium ? If so give us a liberal Thanksgiving contri bution throughout the Church for the Church extension cause, and I i will cull the Board together and with the counsel of my colleagues we will appropriate the money for the immediate use of the churches which need it and can use it to the greatest advantage. Let Zion’s watchmen and members for once awake and try their strength. All contributions will be pub lished. Please report the amounts raised at once. I suggest the fol lowing themes and texts to pastors who have not already selected sub jects. Fruit bearing Christians the glory of God.—Text, John 15:8. God the source of all good gifts.—James 1:17. The Best way to prove God.—Mai. 3:10. The Reciprocity that pays.—Proverbs 3:10, 11. A Cause for great Thanksgiving.—Acts 14:17. The True Method of Thanksgiving.-^ Psalm 116:12—14. The Result of a Widow’s Gift.—I Kings 17:16. LITERARY NOTES. RUDYARD KIPLING FOR EVERYBODY. If continual talk about him in the newspapers is an indication, Rudyard Kipling must be the most popular of liv ing authors. A vast number of readers roust therefore, welcome a pretty and wonderfully cheap edition of his “De partmental Ditties, Barrack-Room Bal lads and Other Yerees,” just issued by the famous cheap-book publishing hopse, Hurst & Co , 135 Grand St., New York, at the price of only 35 cents. You may get i; of any bookseller, or from the pub lishers, who will send their complete catalogue to any applicant. “the black curtain.” Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Bos ton, announce a new and charming book from the pen of that most fascinat ing writer, Mrs. F. H. Loughead, which in plot and narrative skill well sustains her reputation won by “The Man who was Guilty,” and “The Abandoned Claim.” The scene is laid among the foot-hills of California not far from ban Francisco. The hero and heroine, unknown to each other, simultaneously take possession of the same section of government land in the woods. The friendly contest as to which is the right ful owner is an important and interest ing part of the story. A certain black curtain in the hero’s cottage figures conspicuously, but how ^closely con nected it is with the story, which in cludes a charming romance, remains for the facile pen of Mrs. Loughead to relate. All our readers are urged to write the publishers for a copy. Price, $1.50. “the boys with old hickory.” This volume covers the closing period of the War of 1812. The author, Ev erett T. Tomlinson, in his writing for young people, does not aim to be enter taining alone, and having studied boys carefully during his association with them as a teacher, he knows well how to arouse and maintain their interest while he depicts historical events on sea and land, and gives them correct views of the same. In the present volume one follows the brave heroes of those times, who have their first experience on the ocean, taking passage on a privateer for the Gulf of Mexico, and after many ad ventures take part in the battle of New Orleans, of which a vivid description is given. The events presented are stirring enough to arouse the highest spirit of patriotism in the reader, as well as to in spire him to desire for further knowledge of similar events, thus arousing in him a taste for good reading. The book is one of the best the author Jhcs put forth, and should be in every boy’s personal library Price, $1.50. Write the publishers, Lee & Shepard, Boston. “the continental dragoon.” This is one of the most thrilling pro ductions of that eminently gifted author, R. N. Stephens. The book deals with the stirring scenes of the Revolutionary War, and is valuable not only as a liter al y production but as a correct history oil those times. The sceri% is laid near Yonkers, N. Y.; the situation of the Brit ish and American camps is given, the ex act time and circumstance of the first en gagement stated, and every bit of fiction is founded on absolute facts, so that by reason of the fiction the fact is more in delibly impre^ed upon the mind. Then too, no fictitious namei* are given to the heroes, but actual happenings in the lives of men who made themselves both fa mous and infamous iji that bloody strug gle are portrayed in that pleasing style so characteristic of tfie author., Baulesof the heart were fought and wou in those days, too, and these the author weaves into the story in such a delicate way as to hold the reader fascinated throughout. We urge our readers to procure a copy of the publishers, L. (X Page & (Jo., Bos ton. Price, $1 5t. PEBJLODS OF PAIN. Menstruation, the bailee wheel of woman’s life, is also the bane of exist ence to many because it means a time of gTeat suffering.

I would like to have those who suffer know that I am one of the many who have been cured of female complaints by your wonderful medicine and advice. —Miss Jenrie R. Miles.
