believing? 1 say to you frankly, af
ter she believes, she is as one dead.
She is more helpless, believing, left
in that brothel than she was before.
And yet that is the way we are do
ing it. What are we going to do
with her? She is legion in our cit
ies today. What are we going to
do with her? Are we going on
this way, sending missionaries to
foreign fields? This thing we should
do, by all means ; only multiply what
we are doing in that direction. But
while we are doing that are we go
ing to neglect this growing army
of girls that are here at home? We
may just as well neglect them if we
are going to keep on working with
them as we have done. For all our
work for them is of no avail unless
we follow the Master and, after we
have got hold of them, help them to
their feet.
Do you know T that kind of life
becomes a disease, as much a dis
ease as leprosy. Will the Church
of Jesus Christ ever come to see
this? Who would expect a leper,
simply because he accepted Christ,
to instantly become clean in flesh?
We do not preach that kind of doc
trine to lepers. We do not tell them
that they have a right to expect that
after salvaion. Why should we ex
pect it of the moral leper, whose lep
rosy is just as much a disease, may
I say of the mind, as is leprosy a
disease of the body? What are we
going to do? We are going on, I
trust. I believe, to follow the Master
all, the way; to evangelize, and then
to extend to the hand of help. And
we are going to do it as a church
and not in the name of some so
ciety outside.
AMERICAN MISSIONARY IN CUBA
PRAISES PIANO CLUB
The following letter just received
by the Managers of The Golden Age
Piano Club shows the tremendous sav
ing in price which you can secure
bv placing your order for a Piano or
Player-Piano through the Club of One
Hundred. Owing to the high import
duty on new Pianos we recommended
to this Club Member that he select
a slightly used instrument which could
be shipped to Cuba, at reduced rate
of duty, and which cost him only one
hundred and ninety dollars. Read Mr.
Mullen’s letter and you will see that,
according to his estimate, the Club has
saved him two hundred and sixty dol
lars. Here is the letter:
Aug. 3rd, 1914.
Guantanamo, Oriente, Cuba,
Ludden & Bates,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sirs: —The Piano came about
the 23rd or 24th and was in our home
on the 27th. I was absent, in Havana,
attending an Institute, and did not
get back till the latter part of the
week. So this is the first chance that
I have had to answer.
We are very much delighted with
the instrument, and are fully per
suaded that we did a wise thing in
buying from you. An instrument not
a whit better would have cost us at
least $450.00 down here. In fact we
were interested in such proposition
when we heard of your plan. In all
that long trip and in the hands, here
at least, olf inexperienced handlers, it
does not seem to be in the least out
of tune. Sincerely yours,
W. M. Mullen.
If your home needs a good Piano
or Player-Piano we cordially invite
you to write for your copy of the
Club’s handsomely illustrated cata
logue which describes and pictures
the many beautiful instruments and
explains the great saving in price, the
protective guarantees and the conven
ient terms. Hundreds of Club mem
bers have written letters similar to
that of Mr. Mullen and we are sure
that you would also be delighted with
the Club and its instruments. Address
the Managers, Ludden & Bates.

THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF OCTOBER 1, 1914
Again here is a man in the public
house. What is to be done with
him? We preach the Gospel to
him, have rescue missions for drun
kards. Yes, that is all right, but
are we not going a step further?
That man who has for years been
addicted to strong drink is also a
diseased man. He has a great phys
ical malady with which he has to
contend. It is not because he wants
to be a brute and cut his wife and
children out of their rights in his
earnings, that he does it. It is
not that. It is because he is dis
eased. He may have inherited it
from a father or a grandfather. That
taint is ps much inherited as the
colour of his eyes or the crook on
his nose. Believe it! What are we
going to do with him? I trust we
are going to get him saved and then

Force of Habit.
A minister once noticed a crowd of
urchins clustered around a dog.
“What are you doing, little boys?”
he asked.
“Swappin’ lies,” volunteered one of
the boys. “The fellow that tells the
biggest one gets the dog.
“Shocking!” exclaimed the minister
“Why, when I was your age I never
thought of telling an untruth.”
“You win,” chorused th'fc- urchins.
“The dog is yours, mister.”
DON’T RISK YOUR LIFE
Don’t let a wound or bruise or sore
go neglected. A neglected skin
wound often leads to blood poisoning,
a disease hard to cure and sometimes
rafal. Treat the afflicted spot with
Gray’s Ointment; it quickly allays the
pain, healts the wound, and frees you
from all danger of troublesome after
effecs. For nearly a century Gray’s
Ointment has been an indispensable
family remedy for all abrasions or
eruptions of the skin; boils, ulcers,
sores, burns, cuts, bruises, etc. “I have
used it in my family for more than fifteen
years and have not found any ointment
equal to it,” writes Mrs. E. E. Coleman,
Mt. Jackson, Va. Only 25c a box, at drug
