GET RID OF HUMORS
AND AVOID DISEASE
Humors in the blood cause internal
derangements that affect the
whole system, as well as pimples,
boils and other eruptions. They affect
all the organs and functions, membranes
and tissues, and are directly
responsible for the readiness with
ifbich some people contract disease.
Tor forty years Hood's Sarsaparilla
has been more successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors
and removing their inward and outward
effects. It is distinguished for
Jts thoroughness in purifying the
Wood, which it enriches and invigorates.
No other medicine acts like it,
for no other medicine is like it.

At their regular meeting for October, the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Montclair, N. J., congregation, made an appropriation of $10 for the aid
and relief of the sufferers by the European War, and Mrs. H. S. Pritchard,
Treasurer, was requested to forward the amount. Individual members
of the congregation, both men and women, added their offerings,
which at this writing, had swelled the sum to $25. In order to insure safety
and avoid all intermediate expense in reaching the needy, it was decided
to send the money to America's Ambassador, Mr. Page, London, England,
for use of the British Empire's Red Cross and Relief Work.
"Thousands of children are wandering about the ruined towns of
France and Belgium, carrying their little bundles or empty-handed, dazed,
weeping, homeless. No one knows how many thousands of them there
are. Women are seen pushing baby-carriages filled with babies, frying-pans,
blankets, and every conceivable thing, with children clinging to their skirt.3,
and often one in the arms." All are hurrying, hurrying, hurrying,—but to
get where The desolation throughout these two countries is heartbreaking
and indescribable, and the need of prompt and generous aid must
appeal to every Christian heart. "Look in your children's faces and give as
you would give to them."

Other congregations are requested to report their offerings, of whatever
sort and through whatever channel sent, for publication in the Christian
Nation. The Christian Nation will serve its readers if desired and
promptly forward any sums received.

previously in the Universalist

And we personally have heard ot
several pulpits where the announcement
was made. Dr. Conrad, in his
address, said: "I want to say that I
am in full sympathy with the cause
promoted by this Convention. And I
admire the pluck and perseverance
with which Brother Poster pushes
this movement in the face of such
apathy and so many discouragements.
But it is sure to win, because
it is on the side of Christ the
King."
