Assembly's policy In as just and sympathetic
a spirit as possible."
The offer of the college property was
formally made to the Fredericksburg
management whioh .was accepted by Dr.
j NT. Barney and Mr. J. W. Adams.
By means of this readjustment the
children will have tbo advantage of the
san.e Primary, Preparatory and College
courses. In the future the church
will pay only the tuition of the children
of our deceased ministers who are entered
In these departments. The main
part of the expenses will be borne by
the citlzenB of Fredericksburg and the
community.

and sympathetically with the widows
who have been brought to Fredericksburg.
The vote of the General Assembly
clearly demonstrated the fact
that It Is not the desire of bhe church
that the widows be encouraged to group
themselves in one locality. Better facilities
for securing employment for
themselves and for their growing children
can be had when they are in different
localities.
We are planning to pitch this work
upon the most economical basis consistent
with efficiency. We earnestly apptal

SECOND WORLD'S CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP
CONFERENCE.
Ac tine under DroDer amthorlinr. HaIa
gated by those participating in the First
World's Christian Citizenship Conference
and the membership of the National
Reform Association, the Executive
Committee of the latter organization
has taken definite steps looking to the
holding of the second World's Christian
Citizenship Conference at Portland, Oregon,
U. S. A., June 29 to July 6, 1913.
The Immediate result to he sought
through this Conference, and through
all the work of preparation for It, Is
the revival and diffusion of national
religion; or, a deeper and more general
sense of the accountability of nations
and governments to God and their dependence
on him. Since all true reforms
must find their moral standard and the
enarantv nf fhelr nprmanpnn? In rpHe
ion, this revival and diffusion of national
religion will powerfully assist all
governments in dealing with the moral
evils which corrupt and afflict the nations,

unholy divorce from the bonds of marriage,
and all other forma of vice and
crime. It will promote respect for
law; will rebuke profanity and enhance
the efficacy of the oath; will set public
education In Its proper relation to morality
and religion; will help In securing
the right of all men to the day
set apart for rest and worship by the
Creator; will strengthen the hands of
good citizens In dealing with political
corruption; will tend to lift to office everywhere
men who are Incorruptible,
and are in sympathy with these high
alms; will purify and ameliorate the
conduct of nations toward war; and
will ihelip to correct all social injustice
and wrong, and to secure to every man a
fair share in the fruits of his labor and
the largest opportunity for self improvement
and for the welfare of his
children.
It is a movement of extensive proportions
looking to universal advancement
in Militant Christianity in individual,
family and civic life, in general education
and in public morals. Though In
no sense an affair of mere denomina
tlonal significance it Is yet essentially
Christian In every aspect.
We who Issue this call are deeply
persuaded that the Lord Jesus Ohifist,
the blessed Saviour of men, saves men
<n all their Interests and in all their
relations; that there are no human interests
or relations which are in sorer
need of his saving grace and power
than those which lie In the civil sphere;
and that in their acceptance of the forgiveness
which is his to grant and in
submission to his authority lie the ultimate
safety and welfare and glory of
all nations.
We believe that this Assembly will
be in many respectB the most signifl
cani garnering or njnristlan forces thus
far in history. 15 is the purpose of those
arranging for it to make it a thoroughly
representative, deliberative body composed
of many of the leading thinkers
and workers of the world. No leader
in thought or in uplifting effort can
well afford to be absent from
this vastly important gathering.
15 can scarcely fail to mark an
epoch in the forward movement of the
world, and in that event to have personally
participated tn its deliberations
will be ground for life-long thankfulness
and congratulation tO' even the
most eminent citizens of any nation.

AN UNDISCOVERED OPPORTUNITY.
A speaker at a Sunday school convention
was the guest of an old schoolmate
whom she had not seen for years.
As she entered the home her hostess
said: "I have been hoping and praying
that you might show me how to reach
my boy's heart. He ought to be a
Christian, and he Is not. When he was
younger I oould talk to him of these
(719) 19
things, but he will not listen to me
now."
A little later She boy came 'home from
school. For a few moments after he
was lntroducted to the guest there was
an embarrassed silence. Presently he
blurted out: "Say, Mrs. R., do you know
anything about pigeons?"
"No, Joe," she said, "I don't know
much about them, but I would like to
know."
"Well," said the boy, "I'm Just the
fellow that can tell you. But," he added,
"I could do It better if you would
go oui to toe barn where they are."
As they passed through the diningroom
the mother said: "Is that boy
dragging you out to see those pigeons?
Don't go Into that dirty place!"
"But I want to see thenn," said Mrs.
R? "and Joe is going to tell me about
them."
As the pigeons were discussed it
presently developed that there was only
one pair of the choicest kind. Joe and
a boy friend were Joint owners of the
flock, and they were about to dissolve
partnership. As neither wished to
separate this pair and neither was willing
to relinquish them to the other, the
matter of an equitable division offered
some difficulties.
"I tell you," said Joe, "I don't see
what we are going to do about that pair
of tumblers."
"Joe," said Mrs. R., "what do you
think a Christian boy would do?"
"I don't suppose I am a Christian,"
he said.
A very few words finished the conversation
and left the boy thinking.
Caoh day that Mrs. R. spent in the
home she had a talk with Joe about being
a Christian, but every-time the subject
was introduced by the plgeonB.
When the visit ended, the mother said,
as she wept with her head on her
friend's soulder: "You have taught me
the lesson that I needed to learn. 1
tbiak that my boy was more Interested
in pigeons than in anything else in the
world. Because they bored me I loBt
every opportuity that I had 'been looking
and longing for."
A strong interest is an open doorway
to the child's mind and heart. Can a
parent afford to be bored by that which
interests the child??Westminster

About What Her llusband Would Say.
A Mich, woman tried Postum because
coffee disagreed with her and her husband.
Tea is just as harmful as coffee
because it contains caffeine?the Bame
drug found in coffee. She writes:
"My husband was sick for three years
with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation
of the heart, cauBed by coffee.
Was unable to work at all and in bed
part of the time.
"I had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so I could not attend to my
housework?both of us using coffee all
the time and net realizing it was harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife said
she believed coffee f/as the cause of our
trouble and advised Postum. I took it
home rather dubious what my husband
would say?he "was fond of coffee.
"But I took coffee right off the table
and we haven't used a cup of it since.
You should have seen the change in us,
and now my husband never complainB
of heart palpitation any more. My
stomach trouble went away in two
weeks after I began Postum. My children
love it and it does them good,
which oa/n't be said of coffee.
"A lady visited us who was usually
half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup
of Postum. She said it was a tasteless
stuff, but she watched me make it, boiline
it thoroughly for 16 minutes, and
when done she said it was splendid,
boiling brings out the flavor and food
quality." Name given by Postum Co.,
