MISSIONARY GLEANINGS.
We clip the following: “Home
Mission Week, November 17-24, 1912.
is an attempt to impress upon every
man and woman of every church of
every evangelical denomination in
this coutry the supreme importance
of saving America for the kingdom of
God through the established agencies
of the^church. The American Home
Mission enterprise as represented in
the various Mission Boards of our
country is the biggest, broadest, brav¬
est movement in the United States,
because it stands for the physical, so¬
cial, economic, intellectual, and relig¬
ious emancipation of all the people.
During Home Mission Week we may
study the condition of our land, and
see if we are ready to have China
pattern after us. It may safely copy
our form of government, but what of
religious life? So, many of the fallen
women of Shanghai come from this
country, that, as a class, the demi¬
monde are known as Americans'.”
Should we not send them more of
the pure chaste type of Americans,
as represented by our Missionaries,
and show them that our nation
for pure, happy homes, and our re¬
ligion for unselfish, consecrated lives,
devoted to the worship of the only
true God, and to the uplifting of hu¬
manity?? MRS. A. M. TRAVIS,

You want success, don’t you? Veil, you
have no choice about it: you MUST put
on a “good front” to succeed.
Trousers worn at the bottom, last Win¬
ter’s overcoat, a frayed necktie, a torn
collar or a “seedy” hat has kept many a>
good man down, just because he never
“thought” about how necessary it is to
dress well.
The man you work for or the man you
ask for a job does see how you look.
Buy our ALL -WOOL clothes; you will
get “up-right” clothes for “down-right”
low prices.
