Inaugurated, and all ceonle throunb-

vival work are watching the progress
of the movement with considerable in
terest. D. L. Moody is Tery solicitons

of that one address, tbat hundreds in

to bear it again. It will, be given in
the Frothingham. Tallie Morgan will

voices, which will occupy the stage.
In order to accommodate other worship

GATHERING-IN DAT.
That is the kind of day the Green
Ridge Sunday school and Christian En
deavor society expect to hold on the
last Sunday In September. The name
literally describes the work these young
people expect to do. They will go forth
in searen of tbe wanderers and gathor
nn vrRii mmnnirtr in mi
l t v . . . .
work is to hold tbe interest of those
who fervently started forth
impulse of new emotions. Many join
the Sunday school and Christian En
deavor society and are faithful for a
few months, bnt soon tbeir interest
flags, tbey neglect the regular meetings
and finally keep away.
This is probably the ease dnring tbe
snmmer months, more than at any sea
son of the year. The active members
of these societies in the Green Ridge
Presbyterian church keep an aoenrats
list of all these reoaloitrants, and onqe
a year join hands in a soecial effort to
bring back the wanderers. The effort
is fruitful of good resnlts and the
young people feel tbat tbey fulfill the
imperative command of the Master.
The idea is good, which could be
copied by others to their advantage,
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.

school of the Tabernacle Congregational
church held its annnal picnio at Laurel

The Christ Church Young People's society,
of Cedar avenue, appointed Bev. Fred
Holter to represent them.
The organ of the German Lutheran
church on Cedar avenue has not been
powerful enough to lead the congregation
lu singing. A remedy was sought in in
viting the menibors of tho Ringgold band,
who worship in this church, to orgnuize
an orchestra and aid the congregation in
singing. The young men have done so,
and their playing gives great satisfaction
to all, while many ure drawn to the ser
vices because of better musio being ren
dered. Last Sunday eveniug will bo long re
membered among the endeavor workers
of the Congregational church on West
Market street. Never in tbe history of
the church was a more enthusiastic aud a
better attended meeting held. Scores
were turned away for the want of room.
The addresses of the young theological
studouts, T. Myddyn Jones aud W. E.
Davies, were well received, and the sing
ing of Caswallon Davies was a delight to
all who heard him. Sncb enthusiastic
gatherings are rare and tbe people are
anxious for a repetition.

Tbe amount,- twenty five dollars, was

Clerk Skid more, after glancing at

There are thousand of tired women
today on the verge of breaking down
because they are martyrs to their own
fulse ideas of domestic duty.
They are slaves to their homes; and
their exalted notions of absolute order

and physical torture till they grow old,
care worn, nervous, irritable and sick

Only the exceptionally strong can

the artificial, nervous, hurried life of
so many good wives aud mothers.
Just as nature prompts young chil

They Will Not Do You Any Harm.
For thcSatunlau Tribune,
The medicinal properties of the sun
are too lightly esteemed. Old Sol is a
whole family medicine chest, con
densed; and the beauty of it is that he
doesut cost a cent. No well-appointed
home should be without its solarium
without its glass covered apartment
where the convalescent patient may
sit in a bath of golden light and drink
in the healing balm of the sun's tonic
rays. We give these advantages to the
plants iu our conservatories aud to the
fancy poultry and live stock in our
superb barns, and then oueerly enouirh
deny it to ouf children and mothers
and selves. Hat could be more short
sighted? One of the most pressing
reasons why there should be a hospital
on the delightful knoll called ltound
Woods over in Hyde Park is the iact
that it would enable many persons to
bathe freely and properly in the sun.
There's a knack lu this kind of
bathing, just as in any other. You
don't want to work too hard nor to be
fretted with any earthly care. Just
lie back in a comfortable chair, with
tne lace iranKiy upturned to the celes
tial beams and let it go at that.

Wo recollect once to have heard D.
L. Connolly, a much traveled Alban
ian, discoursing upon this point. It
was a lad oi uis. feaid lie: "While
paying a visit to a loundiing asylum
in Paris last year I noticed a large in
cline plane exposed directly to the
liiiht. Upon this, when the sun was
out, the nurses arranged their little
charges, as naked as when they came
into the world, in rows, that they
sorb their healthful influence at every
pore. .The lnciineu plane proved to.
be, next to their natural food, the most
invigorating regimen. When pap

the inclined treatment to tho ladies of i
this country as infinitely preferable to
a sick room with the shutters closed,
or a sofa in the parlor with the cur
tains down. In many cases it would
be better to send away tho doctor, and
the rills and notions with him. and
call in the sunshine. Aud so it would;
bless us! and so it would. But your
average mama is too much wedded to
traditions. She fears a touch of tan
upon her darling's skin worse than she
seems to fear the clutch of dyspepsia
or consumption, upon Ids vitals. So
queer, we are, lu these matters!

as follows:
"I was taken ill last January with

there's nothing under the sun that can
equal the beauty , of simple health

Hutu.."! luweiB, Bjmnges, iace cioms,
etc., and also by injurious or rancid
cosmetics, cold cream, vaseline and
other substances not sufficiently fresh.
The surest remedy in such cases is to
wash the face three times a day with
very hot water and immediately after
ward with tepid milk. Dry the skin
tlioronghly with a line linen towel,ap
ply a light layer of white vaseline or
Knglish zold cream, and after having
rubbed this oil' geutly with Hakes of
medicated cotton, powder the face
slightly with oidinury baby powder.
The only way of gettiug permanently
rid of blackheads is to thoroughly
wash, night and morning, with water
as warm as it can be borne, and then
bathe the face for ten minutes at least
in tepid milk by the aid of a soft and
very lino sponge. Continue this for a
month, and you will liud that your
skin has become pure aud sweet as a
baby's.

Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many
patrons that they will this year hold to their usual
custom of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until tha

tne new wneat luiiy three months to mature before
grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above all
