rian Church, Norfolk, Va., from Acts 1:8,
"And ye shall be witnesses unto me both
in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and In
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth." He treated it as "The Place
of Missions In the Plan of the Universe."
This sermon was followed by the communion
of the Lord's Supper, and the en

tire service was marked by deep interest
and tenderness and left every member of
the Union with a sense of renewed con
secrauon to tne great cause for which
our Church on earth was founded.
At the closing session on Friday morning
the Young People's Missionary Society
of Bell Haven Church, under the
leadership of Mrs. Charles Friend, gave
us some very delightful music. Mrs.
Friend is doing a great work with these
young people, training them to mission
service now, and our Union looks forward
to the time when volunteers for
the mission field shall be the product of
this work.
A rising vote of thanks was passed for
the delightful hospitality extended to the
members of the Union, not only by the

GROWING CHILDREN
The Period when the Nervous Activity is
at Its Greatest.
"Against the practice of giving tea and
coffee to children, we can not speak too
strongly. Childhood is the period when
the nervous activity is at its greatest.
The brain is ever busy receiving new impressions.

"The nervous system is pushed to Its
utmost capacity, and long is the list of
victims that follow its over-stimulation.
In these little people nothing but harm,
can come from the use of such cerebraE
stimulants as tea or coffee. Bad, then,,
as this practice is, let us as physicians beaggressive
in its prohibition.
"Do not be satisfied by answering 'No"
when asked as to their use, but let us"
teach the families with whom we come in
contact that such practice is evil. We
speak emphatically, because not only
among the poor and uneducated, but

Children like a warm beverage for
breakfast and it is well for them to have
it if the drink is a food and not a drug.
Postum is made to supply a rich nourishing
liquid food with a crisp coffee
taste for those who can not and should
not use coffee. Analysis, shows it to contain
about fourteen per cent, of muscleforming
elements and 66.11 per cent, of

and from which ttye vital energy proceeds.
The success of child or adult depends
largely upon proper sustenance for the
body. Children who depend upon the intelligence
of their elders to furnish them
with good food deserve our most careful
attention and thought.
