PREPARING FOR
1918 CONVENTION
Being Made to
Accommodate 15,000 C. E.
Delegates
Pennsylvania Endeavorers are al
ready planning for the big State con
vention to bo held in Philadelphia,
in July, 191$. President Bert E. Ru
dolph, of the Philadelphia Christian
Endeavor Union, and his large corps
cf officers are looking forward with
the anticipation of entertaining be
tween 15,000 and 17,000 delegates.
Endeavorers will be pleased to
learn that the work In Philadelphia
lias been going along splendidly.
Walter M. Causland, a live wire j
vorkcr. says: "We feel in the union j
the impetus of the convention. Al-!
ready the awakened interest of our '
delegates has borne fruit: all 'bf the)
seven branches are reporting larger |
attendances and greater interest at,
their rallies: and the branch in their'
Union workers are feeling In their
lives that power that comes only
through prayer. The increased Inter
est is not mere temporary or super
ficial excitement; it is a genuine,
deeply-rooted enthusiasm that, I am
pure, will work up to the Philadel
phia convention as a great and won
derful climax."

J Everyone Should j 1
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach,
liver, and bowel poisons
before breakfast.
To feel your best day in and day |
but, to feel clean inside; no sour bile |
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti
pation, bilious attacks, sick head
ache, colds, rheumatism or gassy,
acid stomach, you must bathe on the
inside like you bathe outside. This !
Is vastly more important, because
the skin pores do not absorb Impuri
ties into the blood, while the bowel
pores do, says a well-known physi
cian.
To keep these poisons and' toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate In it. This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys
tem of these vile poisons and toxins;
ft.lso to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves
and muscles became saturated with
an accumulation of body poisons, be
gin this treatment and above all,
keep it up! As soap and hot water
act on the skin, cleansing,sweetening
and purifying.so limestone phosphate

THE URION THAT MEANS STRENGTH
Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of tlio Young
Peuplo's BocJotic*—Gliristlon Endeavor, Etc.—For May 131
"Fellowship Willi God."—Ps. 119:07-101
By WI I'M AM T. ELLIS
AH of the Bible's truths are prac
tical. So Is this one, perhaps the
loftiest of them all. There are at
least three essential means by which
we And this mystical union with the
Saviour, Which Is the Christian's
highest goal. First of all we must
havo the aid of the helping Spirit.
He mukes Christ real to us and
brings us near to Him. Without the.
strong Spirit's assistance we can '
never realize union with Christ.
The second means of abiding in
Christ is through His word. There
never has been a saint who has
known the blessedness of communion
without finding It through the Holy
Scriptures. Through knowledge and
obedience of the Lord's words we
come to understand what it means to
abide in Him. The third channel
through which the blessing of union
conies is prayer, in the'sacred silence
of the prayer closet we learn to
know and love Jesus as a familiar
friend. He draws nigh to us as we
draw night to Him. We cannot neg
lect prayer, Bible study, and depend
ence upon the Holy Spirit, if we
woujd be united to Christ.
• • •
Out and out for Christ, in and In
with Christ.
• • •
If we walk with Christ day by
day we shall surely meet Him at His
own table.
• • •
The disciples who get closest to
Christ, and who live most constantly
in the sunshine of His near presence,
are those who have passed through
the valley of self-surrender and who
have there learned the secret of a
submissive spirit. Jesus delights to
walk with those whose hearts de
clare. "Not my will, but thine, be
done."
• •
"A missionary from India said: 'ln
India I gave half an hour a day to
prayer, but here I am so busy that I
have to give two hours to prayer.'-
Prayer-time is not wasted."
We hat'e many needs in the Chris
tian life, but the one need which in
cludes all others is the need of
Christ. Do we lack Joy? It comes
by having more of Christ. Have we
WORK AT HOME FOR
ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS
London, May 11.—There are 2,804
volunteers at work in this country
under the national service plan start
ed four months ago as a reply to Ger
many's industrial conscription. These
and other figures were given in Par
liament the other day to show the
progress made in putting everybody
on work of national importance.
The figures showed that there arc
11,826 volunteers who were still await
ing replies from employers. A total
of 16,000 volunteers had been offered
to employers. The employers accepted
2,804, did not reply to 11,800, which
left a balance of about 1,400 who were
rejected or otherwise disposed x^f.
Opponents of industrial service are
elated over the showing thus made.
They say that national service has
been a failure in Germany. This is
because there is such a wide and im
passable gulf between military con
scription and Industrial conscription.
Forced military service, they point
out, is easily applied, because raw ma
terial is taken and quickly trained
by one system of machinery. Any
healthy young man can be turned into
a soldier in quicker time, they say,
than it takes to teach an officeljoy to
copy letters. On the other hand, un
der industrial conscription the critics
point out the government has to train
men to become farm workers, engi
neers, shipwrights, miners, etc., and
it has no organization for doing so.
IRISH DON'T KNOW
THE TIME OF DAY
Dublin, May 11.—Ireland as a whole
was utterly unprepared for the inau
guration of the summertime clock this
year. Last year Ireland had its own
local time, and the difference between
the newly-instituted summer time and
the local time was only thirty-five
minutes. But this summer the Irish
clock already had been legally push
ed forward to correspond with Green
wich time; consequently noon to-day
would have been only 10.35 a. m. be
fore the two alterations.
With the double change there is
nothing like general agreement. The
Irish are entirely at odds regarding
the time of day. For some business
purposes in the cities the new time
has been accepted willy-nilly. Trains
run by it and governemnt offices de
mand it. Several privately and re
ligiously-controlled schools also con
form to it, but the commissioners of
National Education have given half
an hour's grace for the rollcall in
national schools.
In the farming communities a con
siderable portion of the population is
still going by the old-time schedule,
on the ground that the earlier time
disarranges farm work and the milk
ing of cows.
NEW MEXICAN RAILROAD
Mexico City, May 11.—The new rail
road between Durango and Canitas
will be opened for traffic early in May.
This road off a long distance
in traffic between Mexico City and
| Durango, which formerly was routed
via Torreon. The road runs through
a rich mining region and will shorten
the distance from the Durango mines
to the Aguas Calientes smelter of the
American Smelting and Refining Com
pany which is expected to resume op
erations after a long period of Idle
-1 ness with the next few weeks.
PEAS AS SUBSTITUTES
New Castle, England, May 11.
Small dried peas called "carlins," or
maple peas, are now uelng eaten as
substitutes for potatoes in the north
of England. They are cooked like
marrowfat peas, soaked overnight and
boiled for twenty-five minutes the
next day. In early times "carlins"
were eaten very generally on Carlln
or Passion Sunday. They are light
brown color outside and cream-color
ed under the skin and sell for from
eight to twelve cents a pound, much
less than beans and peas,

need of power? It Is only our nee J
of Christ. Is peace absent from our
heart? The presence of Christ alone
gives peace. Do wo want more love?
We may have It by having more of
Him whose other name Is Love. All
the problems of religion, positively
all. resolve themselves finally Into,
this one supremo problem; How can
more of Christ be brought In the be

when we have Him.

God does not give the Holy Spirit

its presence and purifying power. We

Inner man.—Anon.

The written word In the heart

Word.

The Christian's is the happiest
life, because it is lived In Him who is
Joy incarnate. The other religions
of the world are rollgions of penance,
of fasting and of gloom, but tho
Christian's strong confidence Is in
the Sun of Righteousness, "in whose
presence there is fullness of Joy."
• •
In prayer we speak to God. In si
lence and meditation God speaks to
us. But how can He speak if we do
not give Him a chance? —R. P. An
derson.
• • •
A life lived with God is a peaceful
life. The old, old question, "Where
can rest be found?" is answered in
the presence of God. Peace, perfect
peace, is the peculiar possession of
those who have found pardon and
protection with the Lord. Just as
all the pictures that have ever been
painted, and all the poems, and all
the written or spoken descriptions,
cannot make plain the beauty of a
sunset, so no human words can re
veal the sweet tranquillity wljlch is
the precious possession of those who
walk with the Lord.
• • •
A body cannot be in two places at
the same time. Neither can a spirit.
It is impossible for us to abide in
worldliness, selfishness, and sin, and
abide also in the fellowship of
Christ.

HOLLAND-AMERICAN
LINE lIEPORTS PROFITS
Rotterdam, Netherlands, May 11.—
So remunerative, albeit difficult and
risky, was trans-Atlantic traffic in the
past year that the Holland-American
Line, which maintained the service
between New York and Rotterdam, re
ported a profit of $10,982,976. This is
a new record, being an increase of
nearly J1,900,000 on the 1915 total,
which in its turn was more than three
times as much as the profit obtained
in\l9l4. Out of the sum mentioned
the company proposes to distribute
to shareholders $2,802,810, as a divi
dend of 55 per cent., as compared with
50 per cent, for the previous year, $3,-
416,053 being devoted to writings-off
and $3,400,000 reserved for the war
profit tax. This policy is dictated by
the uncertainty of the outlook.
The company appears to have been
fairly fortunate in the matter of
losses, losing only the BloomersdiJk,
off the American coast, on October 8
(for which Germany is to pay com
pensation) and, since the financial
year closed, two steamships among
the six Dutch vessels destroyed by
a German submarine off the Scilly
Isles on February 22 last.
TWO YEARS TO RESTORE
FRENCH COAL FIELDS
Paris, May 11.—It will take nearly
two years to put the coal fields in
tho neighborhood of Lens into work
ing condition again after the de
struction effected by the Germans
there, according to Carlos Devian,
head of one of the large coal-mining
companies of that district.
"The success of the British around
Lens is of inestimable value to
! France," he said to-day. "We have
been awaiting the return of this dis
trict for a long time, and have pre
pared all our measures so that there
shall be no more delay than neces
sary. The mines of Lens produce 4,-
000,000 tons of coal and 1,000,000 tons
of coke yearly, but it is doubtful if
this production can be reached again
within two years.
"Some of the shafts may be put in
working order in a few months, how
ever. The assistance of the United
States will be a matter of vital Im
portance to us in this work, for the
Americans can furnish us quickly
with the powerful machinery neces
sary, which co".ld not be obtained in
France for many months."

Christian Endeavor
Leaders Are Enlisting For '
Production and Economy
Mi\ny of the leaders of the Chris
tian Endeavor with headquarters at
Boston, havo enlisted In the great
army of production and economy,
which the President, the Governors
of many Stutes. and the leading j
newspapers tell us Is as Important an
the army In khaki. The army of the 1
lioe and the spade la more neededj
this than the army of the i
sword and rifle. The following motto
has been adopted: "More food pro
duced and no waste in our country's!
time of need." The Rev. Francis E. I
Clark, D. D., will offer twenty dollars
for the Christian Endeavor man or
boy, girl or woman, who gets the
largest results lrom a piece ol' ground
twenty feet square (four hundred
square feet): ten dollars for the one
who gets the second largest results,
and four other prizes of five dollars
each for the next four. The same
prizes he will offer for the six who
obtain the largest results from an
acre of ground. The cast value of the
crops raised is to be reconed up by
the first of November, according to
the retail prices prevailing in llie
New York produce market during tile
four week in October. Each com
petitor shall submit to the United
Society of Christian Endeavor a
written statement of the value of his
produce, on or after November 1,
1917. This statement will be accept
ed, as he will rely upon the accuracy
and honesty of all Christian Endeav
or recruits in this army.
Dr. Howard B. Grose, Dr. Amos 11.
1 Wells. Dr. Daniel A. Poling, A. J.
Shartle and J. J. Arakelyan have of
fered twenty-five dollars each in
prizes to the Endeavorers who raise
the most valuable crop of corn, po
tatoes, beans, tomatoes and cabbages,
respectively (one kind of vegetable
only for each competitor), on a piece
of land four hundred square feet.
WRINKLES
Wrinkles disfigure, and a dry, sal
low rough skin spoils any woman's
good looks. To those whose skin has
reached this condition we suggest
the application of Usit, a pure nut
oil, liquid preparation (not a cream
or paste). It is the only thing that
will feed the hungry, dry skin back
to youthful smoothness, freshness,
and plumpness, and drive away dis
figuring wrinkles that come so quick
ly when the skin Is not properly
nourished.
A few applications of Usit prove
its worth, and in a reasonable time
brings wonderful results. It is neces
sary to apply it only at night when
retiring. Gorgas, the druggist, or
any first-class dealer can supply it.
It is a splendid skin food, daintily
perfumed, an# a fine treatment also
for freckles, black-heads and many
forms of eczema. —Adv.
When Will the Stars and Stripes
. Be Unfurled in France?
When it comes to the question of an immediate expeditionary force to France, there seems to be
a division of public opinion. Opponents of the idea argue that our trained soldiers are at present
more needed here to train the new armies we are raising, and that for the moment our ships can ac
complish more by taking food to our Allies. But the other view finds eloquent advocates among our
press, and Washington dispatches seem to indicate that the administration has been converted to it
by the arguments of the French Commission. Marshal Joffre addressing the American people
through the correspondents urges us "to let the American soldier come now."
