Extracts From a Speech

BY Mr J. G. Woollen (of Chicago.) (Who will m Atig-Sept, deliver ad dresier m -Auckland, Thamea, ]Ne# Plymoath, Euham, Palmerston North, Mwterton, Wellington, Nelson, Christ church, Kaiapoi, Rin^iora, Ashburton, Balolutha and Gore.) It is given. to, every man simply to decide his own quality, eternal or tem porary. If he di-cide for an eternal oareer he becomes straightway a novi tiate m tne order of the world's Mes siahs, to serw, to suffer, to be Bcoorged msidipitupon and slain, and then to rmfkb the right hand of man the father until man the son stands erect-, sompleta, lupreme, m dominion,, with ttia enemies beneath ha feet. And that is only his beginning, If he decide that ha cannot wait for the "victory (hat overcometh the world," but must have quick returns however coruecoptiUe—that he most 4t get there fchia time "-—in short if he elect to be a tetnporary man, he be comes simply stuff for scaffolding and rapid-raising, superficial, false work, and on his way to the sorap-pile. And that is the e<»d of him. Bat Fom-nity, the" house Dot made with hands," rises " eternal m the heavens" and the Builder and Mak^ris govern* MBRT—Mat ig to say, politics -th»t is to e*y, religion that is to say, God Manifest m peop'e.

THAT'S MY cASE.

Courts of law are now and again enlivened by the unintentional csmical ifcie» which will occasionally crop up m most serious jastg. In a certain lunacy catfe tried iri tbe Court of Que«Vs Bpnch, the last wit ness called by Mr Montagu Chambers', leading counsel for the plaintiff, was a doctor who, at tfee cl«ee of his evidence described a o &cc of delirium tremena treated by him, m which the patitot recovered io & single night. «»Ifc was/ s^id the witness, "ac •m of gradual drinking—sipping all day frota morning til! night." Tbeie words were scarcely uttered when Mr Chamber 1, who had examin ed tbe witness! turning to the Bench, and aaconscioasly accenting the last word but one, said — *'Mf Lord, that is my cane." Boars of irrepressible laughter con vulsed tbe court.

INTERNATIONAL ANTI ALCO HOL CONGRESS

At the Seventh International Con gress held at Paris ia 1899, it; wad decided that the eighth should be hold afc Vienna. The local committee, after conialfelag the various anti alcohol •ocietiei »t home and abroad, have Ixed upon April 6th to 14tb, 1901, for the Congress. The invitation of the Vienna Com mittee is directed to a'l engaged m social movements, to hand and head workers, men and wo nen, youn? and old, on the ground that there is no section of the community bat, must ad ait that they h *ye been »fl cted m gome d*g cc by the drink curae. It is pointed oat that it is only the collec tive energy of the cultured knowledge of the hum*n race that can guarantee success m the conflict*;

The Very Rev Fa her Hays, M X, at» crowded mfeting m tlie Town Hall at Mansfield the other evening deeply lamented the apathy ot the clergy Ia reference to tun drink ques tion. Voiciag his own sentimenty, he B*id that he could never accept any thank* or honour for having d^votid Ilia life's work to the apostolate of Tfmpeirance. It was hia duty. As » minister of religion, he could not itarad by with folded arras and see his brothers and Bisters swept away by the thousand, destroyed body and sou 1. They roast hua»auise first; then Chris tianise. The clergy were the natural leaders of the people m moral progress, kd<£ m this practical age tbe masses wanted the clergy to preach not only by word baft by the shining example of their own lives. Mr Macdonald, the Australian war correspondent, m the coarse of an interesting account of his experiences ftnd impressions confided to the West Australian, says that " Temperance advocates can get a text out of Lady. imith that cannot be excelled m any place of the world" He notes the j total abstinence of crime of any kind Ia Ladysmith during the siege, which he attributed to there being no liquor irunk by the soldiers. •« It seems," lißsays^ "to justify * Bobs,' who, as the Tommies say, «has water on the brain;'"

Bead how this young girl was cured with Ayer's Sarsaparilla Mrs. May Watson, 9 Rose Koad, Surry Hills, Sydney, New So. Wales, sends us the above photograph of her daughter, together with the following testi monial : " My daughter was suffering terribly from eczema on both, her hands and feet. I had tried many remedies without success. Kememboring I had received great help from Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla myself, I began to give it to my daughter. Soon sha showed signs of improvement, and after taking a few bottles the sores disappeared and she is now free from the slightest symptom of the old complaint. She is as fresh and healthy as any girl could wish to be. This makes me strongly recommend this wonderful medicine to any one needing a good blood-purifier." Such cures always follow the use of . "The Worid's Greatest Family Medicine," You cannot feel well unless your blood is pure, and it must be rich, too. Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla will give you both of these, — pure blood, rich blood. That is what you need and what you can quickly have if you will only give this old, reliable remedy a good trial. Get your blood right and you will no longer suffer with depression, nervousness, general debility, or some form of skin disease. AVER'S Sarsaparilla Brings Comfort and Good Cheer.
