SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN
"When my boy was about three !
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. 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.

"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!'"

In Birmingham. England, a suggestion
was recently made that Roentgen
rays be used to ascertain whether an

Statistics showing how serious a

| Issued by the National Association for

' over 725 churches, with a membership
' of over 312,000 communicants of
twenty denominations, and from 20.1
cities and towns in 12 states in varl;
ous parts of the country, out of nearly
7,000 deaths In 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent., were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 2.24 deaths for every thousand
members or communicants.
While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dls

according to these figures, than In thj

This Is a home-missionary lesson.
5Ve are asked to read Isaiah 2 4. 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. In proport u n to
tlieir .lumoers, nit- mifimiun >..
1'nited States furnish two and one-half
times as many criminals as the na
tives. illiteracy among foreigners is
three times as great as among the
native a hit^s. and pauperism also is
three times as prevalent. Europe alone
' ; could send us 3.00ft,000 immigrants
every year indefinitely, while its owe
