Our PubUcation Day.-A change
in onr arrangement for printing
The Visitor has made necessary
» change of day in gomg.to press,
—one day later than usual. The
putting >n of a larger and improved
printing press in the i fflce and more
satisfactory power to drive the
machinery are greater conveniences
than have heretofore been erj >y*d
in our mechanical work. The
change from the old to the new
order of things caused a disarrange
ment of onr schedule and a delay
in mailing the paper several weeks
in the last month or two. A few
inquiries have been received con
cerning these delays, and in reply
we make this statement. How
ever, The Visitor will aim to be on
time henceforth
Appreciative Words —The follow
ing is an extract from a letter re
ceived from a pastor who until
some time ago served well and ac
oeptably a pastorate in his native
Southland: "I note with pleasure
the constant improvement in The
Visitor, and I would not be without
it. It brings me the news from
my dear old Southland, toward
which my affection grows stronger
every day of my absence. The
Visitor is well edited, neatly printed
and is one of the best papers of
onr Chnrch or of any Chnrch in
this country; and, since I come to
think of it, I fear onr Sonthern
people do not appreciate The Visi
tor as they should. Many church
papers that are no better charge
two dollars. I am astonished at
the cheapness of The Visitor when
I compare it with other papers.”
Bible Reading.—Pastor H. A.
McCullough of Cameron, S. C., has
sneceeded in a gratifying manner
in an effort for more general study
of the Bible in his parish. Forty
persons completed a course of daily
study prescribed by him the first
year in 1899, and at the close of
the year the Editor of The Visitor
was visiting in the parish and bad
the pleasure of speaking to them
publicly on this important subject.
The next year twelve persons com
mitted to memory the books of the
Bible. Last year as many as fif
teen persons complied with the
pastor’s request to read through
the Bible during 1901, and all of
whom received a souvenir in the
form of a beautiful New Year
eard accompanied with a photo of
the pastor. Each family in the
parish was given a Nev Year
greeting—an earnest and thought
ful pastoral Ifetter neatly printed
on heavy cardboard and with an
embossed colored cover with leti
ter-press in white and gold.

We must confes® that it is not
without a shade of sadness that
we announce that in three months
onr banner mast be lowered and
ihe century campaign closed. In
the meantime the eyes of many in
onr churches will scan with anx
ious interest the century column,
and the weekly reports of our
treasurer. There are some liberal
hearted souls that are looking with
hopefnl 'cnriosity at this chnrch
thermometer. If the churches
rally with unanimity, it will be a
moral force which will provoke
testamentary remembrances per
haps in unexpected quarters. The
first of May becomes an important
date in our history. May it be
one of general rejoicing I

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
roach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iuflaaied con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachin Tubs. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
impertect bearing, and when it is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are cau-ed by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucons surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
