If the church will give him a hearty, prayerful support liis labors in this charge will accomplish much good. The U.

Wo h*vo received word of a most remark able offer which is to be mado to women by The Delineator , of New York. Taking the fact that next year begins a new century, The De'intalor offers to distri bute $17,600 among J9OJ women. Tho plan is so cleverly arranged that a woman living in a small town or village, haw just ss good a chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as a woman living in a city—because the prizes aro given for the number of subscriptions secured in a town in proportion to the popu lation of that town, instead of being given simply to those who send the largest hut of subscribers—which, of course, are most easily obtained in big cities. Another clever feature of the plan is, that all the cities and towns of the United States and Canada have been ar ranged in Bovon claasos. The cities of tho greatest population aro grouped iu Claw 1, and as these cities are not very many, the prizes offered aro twenty-eight; tho high est prize being S6OO, and the lowest $6.00. Tho total amount of prizes given sway in this Class is SI,OOO. The remaining smaller towns : and villages fall into six other classes, and as j the uumber of towns in a class increases, be- I cause, of course, there are more aro ail towns I than large ones, the amount of prizes given ; away to a class increases, so that in Clasa 7, 1 there will bo $4,000 distributed among 001 winners. Furthermore, to ovoryono who fail* to win one of the 196f prizes there will bo paid an extra commiasion on subscriptions, provided they equal one out of every two hundred in habitants of the town from which the con testant sends them. I Thia is altogether a very liberal offer, and ono which the famous old Delineator is woll able to m&ko good. From our point of view, we do not soo why such an offer needs to be made by tho Publishers of The DelmeaUrr, for wo believe it already has nearly half a million subscribers. Its strong hold upon the affuo tions of American women has corao iu the past generation, from its practical advice about dress details and homo matters. A Keek Clear Brain.
