9 Cancer * Of the Face. Mrs. Laura E. Mims,of Smithville.Ga., ays: "A small pimple of a strawberry color appeared on my cheek; it soon began to grow rapidly, notwithstand- | ing all efforts to "check it. My eye became teriibly inflamed, and was so XjEv< sJtM swollen that for quite a while I could not * see. The doctors said I had Cancer of the most malignant type, and after exhausting their efforts without doing me Xye? any good,they gave op the case as hopeless. When informed that my father had died from the same disease, they said I must die, s hereditary Cancer was incurable. "At this crisis, I was advised to try S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer began to discharge and continued to do so for three months, then it began to heal. I continued the medicine a while longer until the Cancer disappeared entirely. This was several years ago and there has been no return of the disease." A Real Blood Remedy. Cancer is a blood disease, and only a blood remedy will cure it. S. S.

The "Flying Roll** Zechariah Saw and the Modern "Flying It oils"--Journal* That Drop Benedictious I'pon the Nation?Denominational Difference*. [Copyright, 1S3V, by American Press Association.] Washington, Nov. 28 ?In ;t previous discourse Dr. Tahuage, having shown the opportunities of the secular press, in this discourse speaks of the mission of religious newspapers. His text is. "Then I turned and lifted up mine eves and looked, and behold a flying roll" (Zechariah v, 1). In a dream the prophet, saw something rolled up advancing through tlie heavens. It contained a divine message. It moved swiftly, as on wings. It had much to do with the destiny of nations. But if you will lock up you will see many flying rolls. They come with great speed and have messages for all the earth. The flying rolls of this century are the newspapers. They carry messages human and di\ ine. They will decide the destiny of the hemispheres. There are in the United States about 20,000newspapers. The religious newspaper of which I am the editor was born 19 years ago, but born again 7 years ago. In this brief time if has grown to about 200.000 circulation, and, by the ordinary rule of calculating the readers cf a paper, it has about 1,000,000 readers. Our country was blessed with many religious journals, edited by consecrated men, while their contributors were the ablest and best of all professions and occupations. Some of those journals for half a century had been dropping their benedictions upon the nation, and they live on and will continue to live on until there will he 110 mere use for their mission, the world itself having become a flying roll on the tempests of the last day, going out of existence. There will be no more use for such agencies when ilio world ceases, because in the spiritual state we 6ball havo such velocity that we can gather for ourselves all the news of heaven, or, seeing some world in conflagration, may go ourselves in an instant to examine personally the scene of disaster. All Regiments In One Army. Was there room for another religious journal in this land, already favored with the highest style of religious journalism? Oh, yes, if undenominational, plenty of room! Nothing can ever take the place of the denominational newspaper. When the millennium comes iu, it will find as many denominations as tin re are now. People according to their temperaments will always prefer this or hat form cf church government, this or that style of worship. You might as well ask us all to live in one house as to ask us all to worship in one denomination or to abolish the regiments of an army in order to make them one great host. Each denomination must have its own journal, set apart ( specially to present the charities, explain the work and forward the interests of that particular sect. The death of one denominational journal is a calamity to all the other denominations. I would almost feel that a great misfortune had happened me if The Christian Intelligencer of the Reformed church (my mother church) did not come to my house every week, fur I j was brought upon it. and it has become a household necessity. Such a denominational journal had better be edited by some one who, rocked in the cradle of that church and ordained at her altars, having become venerable in her service, j sits spectacled and wise and with heart I full of sacred memories addresses the living of today. In the most sacred crypt ' r>f nnr mf?mnrv stands the statue of the I religious editors Abel Stevens and j Joshua Leavitt, and the royal family of | tbe Primes?Ircmeus ami Eu.-ebius? while others linger on the banks of the I Jordan, where they will not have long j to wait for Elijah's chariot, and when j they go up, if we still be sitting at our editorial desks, we will cry out in the I memorable words, "My father, my fa- i ther, the chariot of Israel and the liorse- j men thereof!"' But, then, there are great movements j in which all denominations wish to join. : and we want more undenominational i newspapers to marshal and advance and inspire sucli movenunts. Vet such jour- i nals have a difficult task, h-cause all Christian men, if they have behaved well in their denominations, for some reason preferred the one of their natural and spiritual nativity, and even looking off upen the general field and attempting wider work will be apt to look at things through denominational preference and to treat them with a denominational twist. In the issuing of the religious journal whosa seventh anniversary I preach j that difficulty has been met and overcome by the fact that its publisher is a ; Methodist, and in its editorial rooms there arc a Presbyterian, an Episcopa- ; lian and a Congregationali>r, and a line , of denominational prejudice in editorial or reportorial column would run against immediate protest. Against John Wesley's free grace or Calvin's eternal detrees or Bishop McIIvuine's canonicals or Dr. Bowling's Baptistery from year's end to year's end not a word is written or printed. On all these subj< cts we have convictions, but.undenominational i ?T'nn ? journalism is U??t tile piaee D> ! tbcui. lb* who ti lls all In* knows ;;i;d ; expresses all bo thinks on all < e< a.- ii i;> and in all places without reference to tbe i-roprieties is a boor ir a < rank and of no practical service either to i church or state. Complete Unity. Undenominational journalism is absolutely necessary to demonstrate the ! unity of the Christian world. Wide j and desperate attempt is made to show i that the religion of Jmus Christ is only J a battleground of sects, and the cry J has been: "If yon want us to accept j ronr religion, agree, gentlemen, as to what- the Christian religion really is. This, denomination says a few drops of water dripping from the end of the lingers is 1 aptism, and anfthi r demands the submergence of the i utile body. This one prays with hook, and that one makes extemporaneous utterance. Tin- , rector of one delivers his sermon in a j gown, while the backwoods preacher j r.f another sect addresses the people in j his shirt sleeves. Some of your deiionii- ; nations havo the majestic dominant in i the service, and others spontaneity, j Some ? f you think that from all eternity some were predestinati d to be saved, and that from all eternity others wire doomed." Now, it is the business if Young Men's ( liri.-tian asset ialions and tract societiis and Sunday school unions j and pronounced undenominational journals to show the falsity of the charge that we are fighting ana ng ourselves by gathering all Christian denominations on one platform or launching the i nited sentiment of all Christuidoni from o+.-m r.iliiridiK 1 villfillC' uress. \Jlir* IV v/A 4V..h.XM.. x- ^ i Unity! Complete tmity! Never was any other army on earth so thoroughly united under one flag and inspiud hv one sentiment and led Weiie commander as is the church militant. Christ commands *.11 the troops of all denominations of Christians, and they are going to shout togetiur in the final victory when the whole world is redeemed. But we have in all our denominations got tired of trying to make other people think as we do on all points. The heresy hunters in all denominations are nearly all d*ad, thank Cod. and wc are learning that when men get wrong in their faith instead of martyrizing tin m by arraignnu lit we do better to wait f< r the natural roll of years to remove them. Men die. but the truth lives on. We may no" all agree as to the number of tcctli in the jawbone with which Samson sbwthe Philistines. or agree as to whai was the exact color of the foxes which he set on lire to burn up the corn shocks, but on the vitals of ivligion we all agree. If we co lid call into one great convention the <14o,")<)(> Episcopalians, the 1.420. DO.) Lutherans, the 1.4(50. .'M<? Presbyterians, the 4,Bel,*.">7 Baptists, the ">.<>">:5.2*?0 Methodists, putting unto them the following quest ions, we would get unanimous answer in the aflirmative: l)o you believe in a (led, good, holy, just. omuii>oteut? Do you believe in Jesus Christ as a Saviour? Do you believe in the convicting. converting and sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost: l)o you believe that the gospel is going to conoiu r all nations? If you should put i hese questions to those assembled millii us on millions, while there would not le a solitary negative, there would be an aye, aye, aye! loud enough to make t ie foundations of the <artli tremble and the arches of the heavens resound. Let there be platforms, let there be great occasions, let there be undenominational printing presses to thunder forth the unity of all Christendom. One Lord. One faith. One baptism. One (Jed and Father. One Jesus Christ. One cross. (>110 heaven. Liberty Against All Oppression. So also there is room for a rdigious journal that stands for liberty as against all oppression. No authority, political or ecclesiastic, must be permitted to make us believe this or that. Liberty of the Armenian to worship 0\<d independent of the Turkish government. Liberty of Cuba as against Spanish domination. Liberty of Hawaii w 'KMiiKt ;,11 iitnn:irfhif:i] nnthoritv which it has thrown off. Civil liberty. Political liberty. Religions liberty. The r? ligious journal on whoso sev enth anniversary 1 preach has had for its owner and publisher one who in his ancestry experienced just the opposite. His father, an exile from his native land because of his opinions, his property confiscated, his life imperiled, lande d on Antelit an soil bereit of everything that foreign oppression could rob him of. Naturally his s< 11 hnows right well how to appreciate liUrtv. The most of us arc descended lrom those who imperiled all to gain their natural and religious rights.

The movement has started for the demolition of all the tyrannies of cliureh ami state. Keligious uewspapt rs must stand shoulder to shoulder 111 this mighty mareh for (Jod and the world's rescue. Again tin this seventli anniversary I say there is room for a religious paper charged with old fa.-hioncd evangelism. Other styles of religious liewspapt r may do for advertising purptises, or for the presentation of able essays on elaborate themes, but if this world is ever brought to God it will bo through unqualilied. unadulterated, unmixed, unmistakable evangelism. It was astounding that the Lord Almighty should have gone into great bereavements, submitting to the loss of his only Son, that Soli stepping off the doorsill of heaven into a darkness and an abysm that no plummet has ever yet been able to i'athoni. and through that funeral < f llio heavens life is offered to our world, but how to get the tidings to all people, and in >uch an attractive way thai, tiny will take hold of them is the absor! ing questit.ii. The human voice can tiavi 1 only a few feet away, and the world wants something further and wider reaching, and that is the newspap?r press, and as the secular press must necessarily give ir>elf ehieliv to secular affairs let the religions mwspaper give itself to the preseuMind everlasting salvation of all who can read, or. if not To Cure Catarrh Do not depend upon snuff's, iuhalatts or other local applications. Catarih is a constitutional disease, and can be successfully treated only by means of a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly purifies the blood and remo\cs the scrofulous taints which cause catarrh. The great number of testimonials from those who have been cured of catarrh by Hood's Sarsapaiilla prove the uncejualled power of this medicine to conquer this dis ease. If troubled with Catanh give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial at once. '5 A fresh supply of lemons, oranges, apples and bananas just revived at the Bazaar.

If there be an opportunity higher, deeper, grainier, than that ottered to newspaper evangelism, name it and guide us to it. that we may see its altars, its pillars, its domes, its infinitude. Tlic Tender Christian Heart. Again, on this seventh anniversary of The Christian Ht raid I notice there is room for a religions pnptr thoroughly humanitarian. The simple fact is the majority of the human race have not enough to eat or wear. The majority of the human race arc in trouble. How to multiply h av<s of bread and increase the fuel and heal the wonn Is and shelter the homeless arc questions that Christ met equally as soon as lie did spiritual m eessities. The first heart to respond to the cry of sufferers from drought or flood or earthquake or cruelty should Le the Christian Thori'fnre let the natrcs of reli gious journalism spread out the story of all suc h woes and collect relief and disburse alms all around our suffering world. Religious journalism ought to become the aqueduct through which the Christian charities of the world should pour until there is no more lump r to j be fed and no more ignorance to bo educated and no more nakedness to be I clothed and no more suffering to asI suago. In trying to do that practical thing the religious paper whose aunij versarv I celebrate- bus during the past | seven years raised and distributed over ?400,000 for the relief < f physical distresses. . Again, on this seventh anniversary cf a religious publication I notice that j there is an especial mission'for a religious journal truthfully optimistic. The I most optimistic book I know of is the | Bible, and its most impressive authors [ were all optimi.-ts?David an optimist, [ Paul an optimist, ?t. John an optimist, ! our blessed Lord an optimist. I cannot look upon a de sert but 1 am by the old book reminded that it will "blossom like as the rose." I cannot in a menagerie look upon a lion and a leopard but I i am mil mm (i mm a muc umu j-iia** | lead them." I cannot see a^dhction of | gems in a jeweler's window without ! thinking of heave n allash and abla/e and ; incarnadined and empurpled with all j manner of precious stones. J cannot hear j a trumpet but I think of that one which shall wake the dead. All the ages of time, bounded on one side by the paradise in which Adam and Kve walked and on tLe other side l-y the paradise which ft. John saw in apocalyptic vision. The Scriptures optimistic and their authors optimistic, all religious newspapers ought to be optimistic. Not only should all ministers and all religious editors have their heart right, but their liver light. The world has i nough trouble of its own without our giving them an extra dose in the shape of religion. This world is going to be saved, and if you do not believe it you are an inlidel. None of us wants to get on board a train which instead of reaching the de pot is surely going down the embunlilnt'iit. All aboard for the millennium! For tin- most part in a nligious journal let the editorials be cheerful and the pictures cheerful. If in one column there he a ghastly woodcut of the famine stricken in India, in the next column have a list of contributions for alleviation of the suffering or a picture of a ship carrying breadstuff's. If in one column tin re he the death of an old minister of the gospel whom we cannot spare, in the next put the name of some young Elisha who can wear the mantle of Elijah. Mora and More Sunshine. If some evil of society is deputed in one column, in the next show the gospel machimrv that is to drive it back i into the i erdiiion l'rc m whi< h it ascended. Mc re and moii sunshine h t there be in nligious journalism. Publish in it more sermons en texts like "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good," and fewer on texts like. "Out of the depths of hell have I cried unto thee, U j Lord." If any one has anything gloomy i to say. let him say it to himself. If he must write ir, lit him not send it to ed- > i it? rial rooms, 1 ur pur it in the pige< 11- | I hole of his own desk for his heirs and | assigns to read it further 011, for probably they can stand it better than we. 1 j I once gave >? to hear Jenny Lind sing. | 1 m vcr will give a cent to hear a man grcan.

As Adam Clarke, tin- I'limiiii ntator, said, "Ninic people aerve the Lord as though the devil were in thom.r' That only is a h.lpftfl newspaper whii h, as we fold it up afn-r r> ad;,..r u.i,, ,t r,, iiriv tVr .nil men ami ia a spirit tliat v. i.-lu -s prospcritv fur all Christian w?.ri.<rs. whether they work our way < r some otht r way, and wo tot 1 as though tho angel. living through tho midst of heaven, having the everlasting gosj.t 1 to preach, had with tho flapping <1 liis wing stirred the air on our check and forehead. J'ray also for religious journalism, that it may ho ahrt?not abreast of tlio times, but ahead of the times. In this day, when by cablegram wo seem to gee from Europe news live hours I oforo it starts, we do not want in our rclfptious columns information scissored out of an old newspaper or information sent by means of a lett< r which comes to us through the dead letter postollice because it was misdirected, nor do wo want it to take the pace c.f religious journalism as it was in IS1.1. when Nathanit 1 Wilson started his religious paper called The Recorder, or when The Watchman was born in IMit, or. wlnn The Christian Kigister made its first appearance in 1M.'J.

The religious press ( light to put all the events ( f the day in companies, regiments and brigades and show us in what direction that divinely disciplined host is marching and let us ktmw what victories for (Sod and righteousness they will win. The Christianized printing press is to do in our time on a large scale what the battering rani did in olden time on a smaller scale. That old war machine was a stout timber, hung by chains to a hi am supported by posts, and many men would lay hold of the stout timber and swing it backward and forward until, getting under full momentum, it would strike into awful demolition the wall besieged. (led grant that all of us who have anything to do with the mighty 1 uttering ram of our century, the printing press, may he clothed of Cod with especial strength and oneness of purpose and that, having pulled it back lor one mighty assault, we may altogether rush it forward, crushing into everlasting ruin the last wall of opposition and the last fortress of iniquity! The Ink horn at Judgment. And now let all of us who are connected with eitlur secular or religious journalism remember that we will bo called into linal account for eve ry word we write in editorial or reportorial or contributors' column?for every typo we set, for every press we move, and for the style of secular or religious newspaper we jatronize or encourage. In Kzekiel's prophecy the angel of (Jod, supposed to be Christ, appears with an inkhorn hung at l.is side as an attorney's clerk in cld( 11 time had an inkborn at his side.

Filed up in all rla world's printing ofliers, secular and lcligious, arc the publications of past yrars, bound up ytar by year, and in those olliccs they can tell just what they pvintid any day for the last years, and in the great day of judgment all that we have ever written or printed will he revealed from the mighty volumes of eternity. All those who have ruthlessly pri? d into the secret of unhappy domestic life and despoiled homes, come to judgment. All those who have by the pin assassinated character, come to judgment. All those who have had anything to do with salacious and depraved literature, come to judgment. All those who have produced pictures administrative of vice, come to judgment. No one will then dare say, "I knew it was not true, and I only inttiidul it for a joke," or, "I had to make my living, and the paper that I worked for paid me in proportion to the startling nature of the stuff I prepart d," or, "I corrected the falsehood in the next it.-ue," or, "I felt my power in the editorial chair, having opportunity to address such multitudes week Ly week, and I wanted to keep the church and the world in awe of me." 0:i that great day of judgment all the power we have had on earth will Le insignificant compared with the power that will pronounce our rapture or our doom, and that which might have bun ccn.-idend a joke in the "composing room," In cause it humiliated an enemy, will hero joke at all amid the wrick < f mountains and seas, ai d the iukhorn will there tell of till We wrote a.noinmonsly and undo* the impersonality of a newspaper, aswi 11 as that which was signed with our own ltnf wlvit :i hi'iinHfiil fl:iv fnr :i Francis Kavirgul, when she gets rewarded for all the kind things sin- evil" wrote with the tears of her invalidism; or when the an.hois and authoresses < f all lands and aires are told how many came to heaven through their instrumentalities, and for all those who use the influence of the press to correct the errors and extirpate the wrongs and break the serfdom of mankind!
