! That "Judicious advertiatnfc te: tW
trontnna to success" 1 an axiom 'DtW
ty enenrilf accepted la the buaWeJaf
world, but whether It could wjaefr i
exteaaea to aurn-imoniai ana acaetnaa
tlcal field baa hitherto been open to
doubt However, since a church at
Bristol Tetui, adrertLaed for a paator
and got vtat la believed to be a good
one there seems to be no department of
human activity wbere'tbe rule ma not
safely be applied. - ' '
The Bristol church caused an adver-'
tisernent to be Inserted ia a certain
newsnaoer eetttnir forth the fact that1
It wanted an undershepherd. and In',
answer to this there came from Nebras
ka a young man who bad never seen
er been seen by an; member of-hls fh)i
ture congregation. On the following
Sunday ha occupied the pulpit and was
greeted with appreciation and good
will by the people. Adverttslnir for a
wife la the nearetft approach which
comes readily to mled to the temerity
of this proceeding. However, the ex
' perlment, If rash, seems to bare turned
out well, and therefore similar adver
tisements may be looked for from other
quartern.
And why not? By the Judicious word
ing and placing of advertisements
churches ought to be able to get Just
the sort of ministers they want. For
Instance, for conjrrfKutious particular
as to tbetr' theology an jmoo.inceiucnt
something Ilk the following might Im
used:

our commerce and our investments by acquiring
control of countries which have no population or
people who have no wants the manufacturers and
investors of Germany and America find in this
country the finest opening in the world.
: While we sink millions on the construction of
railways through the African continent, railways
whidi from a commercial point of view cannot yield a return within
the life of the present generation or perhaps the next, the American
capitalist discovers a remunerative investment for his millions in
improving the means of locomotion in London. While we spend
countless millions in, annexing vast tracts of Asia and Africa and
maintaining armies to defend them with the view of supplying the
penniless population with goods from Manchester and Birmingham
our GERMAN AND AMERICAN COMPETITORS SUP
PLANT US' IN OUR OWN COUNTRY OR OUST US FROM
RICH EOREIGN MARKETS WHERE WE ONCE HELD A
MONOPOLY. While we are pouring out like water our, resources
in men and money to hoist our flag over the goldfields of the Trans
vaal, themselves largely owned by foreign capitalists, we behold a
whole branch of our shipping trade, the foundation of our national
'greatness and prosperity, captured and annexed at one stroke by an
American syndicate. . ,

' The Hague conference, to my thinking, was the greatest event
of the nineteenth century. It is by that conference that the nine
teenth century will live in history. X

But in the twentieth century what is more natural and rational
and obvious and necessary than for the two alliances to 6bake hands
in peace and a league which, beginning with a standstill of arma
ments and a guarantee of the status quo, would proceed to organize
the European continent into a federation on the lines of the Amer
ican constitution? ' ,
Each state would keep its language, laws and constitution; each
would develop its separate national patriotism to the utmost without
any fear that such love of fatherland would lead to war, for all
Europe would have but one fleet and one army. The whole strength
of the mighty federation would be a guarantee of the rights of the
smallest and weakest of the federated states. . .

CONTAGIOUS DLOOD POISON
They hide its repulsive form, and this serpent disease,
stupefied by these drugs, lies dormant until the effects
have worn off or treatment is discontinued, when it
breaks down the mask and becomes as full of life and venom aa ever.
Mercury and Potash may dry up the sores and eruptions, but at the same
time they drive the poison back into the blood and system, where it feeds
upon the tender tissues, membranes and nerves, finally breaking out ia
most disgusting sores and even destroying the flesh and bones.
Mercury and Potash, cannot accomplish a radical and permanent cure.
They have a palliative but not curative effect upon this treacherous snake
like disease. These drug's produce mercurial Rheumatism, destroy the
teeth and corrode the membranes of the stomach and bowela, causicj inflam
mation and dyspepsia, nervousness and general deracjetnect of t'.:a system.
