MISSION OF HELP.

The tervicea in connection with lifte Mission were continued yesterdayat St. Matthew's Church. The Holy Communion was celebrated at 7.30 a;m. At 10 o'clock Morning Braver and Intercessions were offered. At 3 o'cjock a large number of women were present at their service. The Missioner spoke to them on the power of a woman'/ - iove. The address was founded on the prayers of the Syrupheneeian woman. He pointed out how, for tbe sake of her daughter, she was ready to acknowledge herself as utterly worthless. The greatest power in the world was a woman's love, and that made it so vtry important that it should be ussd arigLt. He also spoke on (he power of prayer. At 4J5 nearly 200 children attended the ihird children's service, and the Vicar addressed them on the third verse of the hymn, "There's a Friend for Little Children." At the ivenirg Mission service the Mis i toner spoke on the "Use of Influence." This, he said, was the third mesaa**; ni the Mission. He took for his text Joshua xxii., 20, "And that man perished not alone in his iniquity." He pointed out that God's world was governed by certain Jaws, which, though we might not understand them thoroughly, ytt we must obey then:, or suffer the consequences. This was true in the physical, organic and. spiritual worlds. The law of influence was no exception. No man went down to hell alone, and no man trod the narrow path to life alune. The swindler, the gambler, the drunkard—none of them sinned alone—their influence was felt by many. Nor was it sufficient to sea that one's influence did no harm. M an must do positive good in the world and leave it brighter and bettei for his having lived in it. Ail this he illustrated from the 3tory of bchan, to whom the text referred, The result of hi 3 sin was felt by the whole of his natioD, and draggtd down to doom with him his wife and family. It, is possible with regard to our sins, to hoodwink ourselves, and even others, but no man can hoodwink God. In the second address the Missioner explained, in answer to a question, that God, being Almighty, must be All-good, and I closed hy pointing to Jesus, the Son of God, as the Saviour from sin. The services to-day will he as fol-lows:—-Holy Communion 7.30 a.m., Morning Prayer and Intercession 10 a.m.. service .for women at 3, when arrangements have been made for the care of infants, so that no mother may be prevented from being present.

A Mistaken Notion

There is a prevailing opinion that it is dangerous to stop diarrhoea, too suddenly. That may be the case when an astringent medicine is used, but there is not the least danger of stopping it too quickly when Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy is taken, as it is not an astringent, and stops the diarrhoea by curing the disease that caiised it. As a rule only two or three doses arc required, but in very severe cases a whole bottle is needed.—Sold by all chemists an dstorekeepers.
