The color in her jcheeks, once so rosy, has faded away --her eyes are listless--the "buoy: ancy of spirit and vigor she once pos sesssed are sadly lacking. Parents; friends, this girl needs Ferrozone-- needs it that her blood may be re newed--needs it to restore the nerve force that growth, study and the de- velopment of her fresh youth have exhausted. This girl will become a queen with Fercozone---whioh vill re- store color---briug hack her old- time, energy---give brightness to her yes: and vivacity to her spirits.

They do good to all men, and éspecially to such as are of |, the household of the faith. Jesus cregtes saints; and saints recreate society. .. Because becoming a Christian is i5-190 individual, rather than a mass] matter, and because the world ever has greater need of vitalized per- sonalities than of new institutions; the stamp of Scriptural approval is not given to that first impulsive ef- fort at Communism, other, than to recard the fact. The Church is a living organism and not a static construction. Her members have shaped and re-shaped the world, and e still doing so. Nevertheless, Christian. interest. is primarily Institutions only * incidentally mould le; people shape fustitu- tions. We find that into the' early Church: even during the first blush of its experiment in communism, there crept into the fellowship those, like Ananias and Sapphira, who real- Iy did not belong within the Church. They prefigured the doom fof any so- ciety which could. be employed: for purpose of self-exploftation by de-|s signing persons. In Russia, it is the the crafty politicians after power and privilege ahd wealth, who have capitalized 'and perverted the simple and. generous' instincts of the Russian masses Whose A Aeinoorasy.

Thank God for the billions" of pegple who have their social rela- tions almost wholly within their churches; for that society is whole- some, simple ,mutually helpful. To belong to-Chureh should mean, in all practical ways, more than to belong to any other body in existence. In. the second place, the Church permeates and leavens the world with people of good will. This has been the greatest indirect service of Christianity to the race. Who have peace and 'of 'world fraternity? The Christian nations, and the men. in them who have been avowedly Chris- tian disciples. Consider the part that those eminent Christian laymen known 'as such before ever they came to political 'position-- President Wilson Lloyd George and Arthur Balfour, are playing in the. recon- tion of the world.
