We tried everything we rould but he got worse all the time, till it spread to his arms, legs and then to bis entire body. He got so bad .hat he came near dying. The t rash would itch so that ho would ' scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow In the morning. 1 had to put mittens on bis hands to prevent him tearing his skin. He was so weak and run down that be took fainting spells as if he were dying. He was " almost a skeleton and his little bands were thin like claws. "He was bad about eight months when we tried Cutlcura Remedies. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long while. I washed him with Cutlcura Soap and put on one application of Cutlcura Ointment and he was so soothed that he could sleep. You don't know how glad I was he felt better. It took one box of Cutlcura Ointment and pretty near one cake of Cutlcura Soap to cure him. I think our boy would have died but for tbe Cuticura Remedies and I shall always remain a Arm friend of them. There has been no return of tbe trouble. I shall be glad to have you publish this true statement of his cure." (Signed) Mrs. M. ^? C. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario, May 27, f.'t Was Muffing.

MANAP3* She Strove - to Please "Miss Lavinia Dunning is coming to lunch and Prank wants me to exert myself to make her like me," Mrs. Gernon confided to her sister, who had dropped in on her way down town. "Who's she?" asked Mrs. Gennon's sister. "She's that influential aunt of Frank's new partner?rolling In money, but eccentric. She makes a point of being unassuming in her way of living. You know she put us up in her apartment, at her nephew'B request, the first night we came to town, and we've never done anything to return the courtesy. Frank says It will mean dollars to the new firm If she takes a fancy to us." "Better hide that expensive lampshade and two or three of these last new rugs If frugality's her fad," advised Mrs. Oernon's sister. "It's a pity you can't borrow those old shoes of mine. It might mean millions to the firm if she saw you wearing them. Well, I'll stop on my way this afternoon to see how you get on." Two hours later, as Mrs. Oernon ush ered her stately guest Into her best front bedroom, Miss Dunning stopped before removing her wraps to say pleasantly: "What a large, airy bedroom! Quite a contrast to the tiny box I offered you and Mr. Gernon In my apartment that night." "Oh, but then!" A sudden confusion overtook Mrs. Gernon as she recalled her sister's banter about the lampshade and the new rugs. Somehow she must manage to assure Miss Dunning that their tastes were simple. "But then, really," she repeated, sweetly, "that room was all right I can sleep anywhere?for one night, you know." "Indeed!" Miss Dunning's tone was surprised. "That Is, I mean," Mrs. Gernon hurried on, feeling more uncomfortable with each word, "If you could have seen some of the unspeakable places Mr. Gernon end I slept In when we were touring last summer! Such beds! Country hotels, you know. Ono gets hardened to anything!" "Yes. I see." With a cool and thoughtful expression MIbs Dunning followed her perturbed hostesB down the stairs. By the Interposition of some Imp of fate. Mrs. Gernon felt the visit had been badly launched, but she did not despair. Her next move was to begin the discussion of a recent book on household economics, and this was promising well until, just as Miss Dunning was undeniably warming to the subject, the little imp of fate took a hand once more. "In the same connection," Mrs. Gernon found herself babbling, "the author declares that old maids are proverbially dishonest about paying their bills. He says statistics prove that a married woman recognizes a greater responsibility in this matter, and that old maids, even when they have plenty of money, are miserly when it comes to meeting their Just debts. Oh!" Mrs. Gernon'c eyes suddenly bulged. "I beg your pardon. Miss Dunning. I ?I aever thought of you as?" "Luncheon Is served." announced a providential maid In the doorway. The move to the table gave them a fresh Btart, but the little Imp of fate still kept the helm. Struggle as Mrs Gernon might, tho est of the conversational voyage, until Miss Lavlnia Dunning took her departure, was one perpetual tale of crashes on reefs and rocks. The result wgs that when her sis ter came In to reeonnoiter late that afternoon she found Mrs. Gernon lying in a wilted heap on the library couch. "You never heard any one say so many 111 timed, tactless things in all your life," lamented the sufferer. "There was something positively uncanny in the way I was driven on from one blunder to another." "You poor child!" sympathized the sister, when tho harrowing details were finished. "Isn't there one com| fortlng thing to remember about It I all?" "Yes, one?thanks to you," Mrs. Gernon admitted. "At luncheon we had I some of that jelly you sent me and It was simply delicious, Harriet. Miss I Dunning praised It lavishly, and I didn't let her know It wasn't my own make. 1 thought it might give her a better impression of Frank's wife, you know. And when she went away I insisted on her taking a glass of It with her. Well, It was the one fortunate thing I did the whole afternoon. She seemed really pleased." "Of course you washed off the label?" "What label?" "Don't tell me you've never discovered the facetious labels 1 put on those glasses!' "I've never seen the glasses. You e?r,t them over each wrapped so nice ly that I had Nora net them away like ! that. No; 1 didn't see the one Bho | opened for lunch, and I didn't unwrap the one 1 had her bring In for Miss Running. Harriet, what la the matter?" "Nothing?don't take it to heart!" her sister gurgle d. "Only I'd ne er, as b.'.g as 1 lived tell Frank. Every one i f those glasses was labeled: 'Only good enough t<> gi\e away!'" Finding Pearls With Roentgen Rays. According to a report from our consul In Birmingham. England, a suggestion was recently made that Roentgen rays be used to ascertain whether an oyster contains pearls. In this way.

What ?ome-niissionary thoughts are to be ni nH there' Those Blowing sentences ire in many particulars faithful picures of our wealthy modern nations. There .ire the unexampled movement if immigration, the aping of evil cus-^ on<s from other lands, the vast wealth, the mammon-worship, the pride, the social wrongs and oppressions, the misgovernruent, the devotion to fashon and luxury, and In it ali a nucleus )f nobility that will bring ahout the utmost triumph of godliness. There Is as great need that we should work Tor our country as that Isaiah ehould work for his; and, though we are so much inferior to Isaiah, yet God calls us in essentially the same way to the same great service. The literary qualities most conspicuous In Isaiah is the wealth and brilliancy of his Imagination. No other Old Testament writer has the same power of picturesque and graphic description. There Is no other Hebrew author who furnishes the reader with =o many quotable sen:ences. One can imagine the people of Jerusalem stopping one another on the street, to tell and hear the latest from the prophet. This, of course, was precisely what he desired and Intended. Isaiah was a humorist and satirist In the truest sense of the word. This is evident from his vivid, quaint description of the strange manufactured Idols and images of worship, from his curious 1 and vivid picture of female luxury and j fashion in his day. 1 tie events 01 tits nine in?/ ?>= . summed up in two momentous oreur- ! rences. The first was the advance of the Assyrians upon the small states of I Syria and Palestine, paralyzing their national consciousness, and with this also their nnt'onal religions Judah I was not destroyed like Samaria, but Its independence was lost, and It was the prophet's chief political task to ; enable his country to adjust Itself to tne new conditions. As a politician Isaiah's maxim was "no politics." He i strongly dissuaded Ahaz from entangling himself with Assyria, but when I his advice was disregarded and Judah become subject to Assyria he resist- \ ed with erpial strenuour.r.ess all attempts to throw off the Assyrian yoke. The second occurrence was the fall of Samaria, by which the mission of united Israel became the heritage of Judah alone. During all these troub! 'ons times Isaiah was the leading ctalesmen of his country. Isaiah was filled with fear of a Vision because it was a vision of God, J i.nd the Hebrews believed that no one i could see God and live. Isaiah loved God, and instinctively he prepared to join his voice to the seraphs' chant, hut ere the harmony could pass his lips he caught his breath and was dumb. A horribb* sense of unclean ' ness seized him. One of the bright seraphs, "glowing us with fire, and with wings like the lightning flash," took a hot stone with :< ngs from the altar and touched Isaiah's lips with it in token of purification. The hot stone is a stone kept in all ancient Oriental households as a means of ai plying heat to household purposes. Why does Jehovah seek a man to r.n on his errands, when he has the winged seraphs? Because men can reach men better than angels can. Only once did God choose a completely sinless preacher. Always, but that r?nr?p ami has chosen sinful men: and. not seldom, the most sintul of men he could get to speak to their fellow-men about sin and salvation. Isaiah was quick to offer himself as the mesenger, because he felt himself, with his sin removed, both fit and able for service, and wanted to show his gratitude for what had been done for him. How does this marvelous chapter apply to our nation and to home missions? It contains a message of doom and a message of hope an1 prom'se. Which shall it be for our nation? The former, if Christians are heedless of the great work before them, to evangelize the masses of our fellow countrymen that do not know Christ The iatter, if home missions are earnestly promoted, in the spirit and power of our I.ord. One of the chief problems of home missions Is the large number of forign immigrants. When the I'nited States is prosperous more than a million of these come to our shores every vi-ar. and about three fourths of them remain. The large majority of presentday Immigrants come from Italy, Australia, Hung:' y and Russia, the Hiiro pea n lands that are farthest removed from ours in ci\ iliz it ion.
