Tribute of Pastor Russell at Albert Hail to Late King Edward. [From the Leeds Yorkshire Fost.j Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Taberna lle, the great American preacher, who is now on a tour in this country, pref aced his remarks to a huge audience in the Albert hall last night with the following: “In Germany I learned of the death of your esteemed monarch. Edward VII. I realized that not your nation only, but all Christendom, had lost an unobtrusive but wise counselor, a power for peace and good will among men. I take this opportunity to ex press to this great audience ray sym pathy. which. 1 assure you. is shared by the great majority of my American countrymen. My first thought was that out of respect for the illustrious dead, his family and the nation this service should be postponed, but my second thought was to the contrary. Surely at no more fittiug hour could we consider ‘the great hereafter.' There is. thank God. a hereafter for kings as well as peasants. Royal mourners and a mourning nation need a message from God’s word particu larly now. and, since no more repre sentative audience will probably as semble in this capital of the empire, I have a suggestion to offer, which I trust will have your approval. It Is that before offering prayer we show our sympathy for th*> royal family in their bereavement by standing.” After about a minute, while silent prayer was offered. Pastor Russell of fered prayer generally and requested the great audience to sing one verse of “Nearer. My God, to Thee.” The whole scene was very impressive. BRINGMR^ to the splendid soda fountain at this ding store. She will lind here courteous attention and the most delightful drinks in town. We cater es pecially to the ladies—our sundaes, sodas and Irappes were long ago voted just too delicious tor anything by the prettiest women in town. Ask her—bring her in today—she wants to come anyway. A cool half hour spent at this Soda Fountain is a very pleasant way of whiling away that time. McDonough, Ga. Croc(Mllle» and llie Cur**. One does not usually connect croco diles with a health resort—rather the reverse—but the creatures are quite a feature of the Indian bathing place of Mangliapir, about nine miles from Ka rachi. This town is a place of pilgrim age for pious Hindoos, but it is chiefly famous for the value of its waters in the cure of the dread scourge of lep rosy. The waters are hot, and more than 00 per cent of the sufferers who bathe there annually, it is said, are cured. The crocodiles are rather note worthy in that they live in the hot water, apparently suffering no ineon wenienee from its temperature or me dicinal qualities.—Wide World Maga vine. THE MUSSULMAN. til* Devotion In Intense and He In l'rouil of 11 i» Iteligrion. A traveler in Africa writes: "This is a land of religion. The Mussulman’s devotion is intense, ever present and all pervading, being not an accessory tacked on, as it were, to bis life to be practiced more or less surreptitiously, but an essential part, wherewith and wherein he lives at all times. A Mus sulman prays openly and publicly, in nowise afraid to be seen. Every man wears his string of beads whereon he records the number of bis daily pray ers. Notwithstanding its, to us, un inviting appearance, the religion has made and still is making great strides in Africa, and one can only attribute this to the fact that here at last is a religion of which its adherents are in no way ashamed. It offers to the faithful absolute assurance of salva tion and engenders that blind, unhesi tating faith therein which is so com forting to the native mind. "Seeing a crowd of pilgrims bound for Mecca patiently—nay, with pleasure enduring the worst treatment that one •wild imagine meted out to herds of driven slaves, one envies the excess of faith that can engender such a dis position. Though robbed, slain, starv ed, herded with pestilence and sub jected to countless hardships and an noyances, yet year after year they come from far and near thousands and tens of thousands strong on this the most wonderful and far reaching of lat ter day pilgrimages. ‘‘At Jedda one sees pilgrims from all corners of the globe—Dutch sub jects from Java, Chinese from IVking. shiploads from India and Farther In dia, Russian subjects- from all parts of the great empire. French subjects from Algiers, from Morocco, aud dusky negroes who have tramped for months from tliy western shores of Africa. Through many lands and midst many tongues they come, all to meet at this thronged center of the maelstrom of the Mussulman faith.” DIAMONDS By our Divided Pay ment Plan you can soon own a beautiful stone of known value and rec ognized worth.
