have attained is due in a large measure
to the prayers and labors and liberality
of our good women who never seem to
grow weary in their efforts to extend
the kingdom of our Lord unto the uttermost
parts of the earth. So prompt
was their response and so effective their
labors that the debt which two years ago
gave some concern, has been so far reduced
that the Executive Committee is
now asking them to turn their energies
to other special objects, included under
the general term of equipment. These
objects include houses and hospitals and
school buildings. For the providing of
these four thousand shares of $50, each
are offered to all who wish to aid in this
oirecuon and especially to our missionary
societies and Presbyterial unions.
We are pleased to know that there is
now a union in almost every Presbytery
in our Assembly.
We recommend the following resolutions:
1. That the missionary platform adopted
by our General Assembly of 1907 is
reasonable and practicable and therefore
the session of every Church of this Synod
is urged to appoint a Mlesionsry Committee
that shall make a thorough canvass
of the entire membership for individual
subscriptions to this great cause on the
weekly basis.
2. That the efforts of our Executive
Committee to secure our thousand
shares of $50, each for the equipment
of our work on the foreign field is commended
to our churches and missionary
societies and Presbyterial unions.
3. That our ministers and sessions are
urged to use earnest efforts to secure the
attendance of the men of the respective
churches on the conference of the i^aymen's
Movement, to be held in Macon
next Januar 21 to 23.
4. That the evening of the second day
of the Synod of 1910 be set apart for a
popular meeting in the interest of For
eign Missions.
5. That the Synod has heard with
pleasure and profit the instructive and
stirring addresses of the Rev. J. W.
Bachman, L). D. and the Rev". L. C. Vass
and Mr. H. C. Ostrom.

A Certain Rich Man, by William Allen
White. $1.50. The Macmillan Co.,
Publishers, New York. 1909.
In "A Certain Rich Man" Mr. White has
written a novel distinctly American in
spirit, and illustrative to a remarkable
degree of certain great phases of our national
development. He has pictured in
rich detail the transition of the West
from the early days of the sparse settlement
to the modern conditions of vast
agriculture and business enternrlse and
powerful transportation systems. The
story begins in the little village of Sycamore
Ridge and traces the lives of its inhabitants
with great accumulation of anecdote
and reminiscence, until the reader
becomes thoroughly familiar with the
many characters which he is to meet
again and again to the end of the story.
The "Certain Rich Man" is one John Barclay,
who from the beginning shows
marked aptitude for devising money-making
schemes, and at the same time extraordinary
freedom from scruple as to his
methods. Balclay becomes each year
richer and more powerful. He does not

even his friends suffer when he
must choose betwen friendship and
money. The author describes with realistic
power the evolution of the unscrupulous
man of wealth from the mean and
grasping boy, and gives a striking, but
extremely unattractive portrait of the
modern millionaire. John's mother, a
woman of independent strength and integrity,
has suffered much during these
rears of his progress and her prayers
go up constantly that he may give up his
mad fight for money. The-story of John's
ncreasing love of power and his final
defeat and repentance is well told and

SECRET WORKER
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.
Coffee is such a secret worker that it is
not suspected as the cause of sickness or
disease, but there is a very sure way to
find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an interesting
experience her husband had with
coffee. It seems that he had been using
it for some time and was an invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the "Worm at
the root of the tree " and ordered it discontinued
with instructions to use Postum
regularly in its place.
The wife says: "We found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have gladly
Daid a hundred times the nmnnnt nf th?
doctor's charge when we found how wise
his Judgment was.
"The use of Postum Instead of coffee
was begun about a year ago, and It has
made my husband a strong, well man.
He has gained thirty-five pounds in that
time and his stomach and heart trouble
have all disappeared.
"The first time I prepared it I did not
boil it long enough and he said there
was something wrong with it. Sure
enough it did taste very flat, but the next
morning I followed directions carefully,
boiling it for fifteen minutes, and he remarked
'this is better than any of the
old cofTee.'
