to address a letter on the subject
to the churches of the Presbytery.
The narrative from the churches,
though affording ground for discouragement

rejoicing; one of the churches reporting
65, and another 41, accessions to their
membership during the ecclesiastical
year.
Popular meetings were held, one
evening, in the interest of Home Missions,
and the next, in the interest of
Foreign Missions. In each of them, interesting
addresses were made by ministers
and elders who had been appointed
for the purpose. These meetings and
the other services of a devotional character
were largely attended by members
of the community.
The report of the Trustees of Marlon
Female Seminary indicated that the
school is growing in influence and in
popularity, and that the work there done
is of a very satisfactory character.
Rev. J. E. Jones, of Unlontown,
preached the Presbyterial sermon upon
"The Abrahamic Covenant." The sermon
was strong, logical and scriptural,
and held the Interest of the congregation
from start to finish.
The meeting was in every sense an enjoyable
one, and the members were de

which they were met, and the abounding
hospitality with which they were entertained
by the good people of the community.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.
Tiru? - ? * "
itucu a utcie numan macnine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so Important
as the selection of food to bring
it around again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions," says a Colorado
mother.
"I decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would sink
away and seemed like he would die.
"When I reaohed my sister's home
she said immediately that we must feed
him Grape-NutB and, although I had
never used the food, we got some and
for a few days just gave him the Juice
of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got stronger
so quickly we were soon feeding him
the Grape-Nuts itself and in a wonderfully
short time he fattened right up and
became strong and well.
"That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my little
girl came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts
and she is a strong, healthy baby and
has been. You will see from the little
nhotoeranh T rpti/1 mn -otViot ? ?
_jwu ??*<ub a onunSi
chubby youngster the boy 1b now, but
he didn't look anything like that before
we found this nourishing food. GrapeNuts
nourished him back to strength
when he was so weak he couldn't keep
any other food on his stoooaoh." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food contains
the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray filling
in tne nerve centres and brain. A well
fed brain and strong, sturdy nerves absolutely
Insure a healthy body.
