Last Saturday there was opened in N ew York the largest and one of the most im- portant missionary conferences yet held, being the thir-;l of a. series gf these world’s conferences. In it are represented nearly all the Protestant bodies engaged in mis- sionary enterprise and work. The time has not yet come when the Protestant and Roman Catholic bodies can work to- gether or even come together in conference for the furtherance of Christian missions, though each body recognises the value at least of a portion of the work accomplished by the other. There are now in existence, some 350 or- ganised missionary societies of the var- ious Protestant bodiesa large proportion of which societies are represented at the New York Conference. Statistics of all of these are not available, but the Almanac of the American Board of Foreign Mis~ sions, representing' the work of 240 so- cieties shows 5,Z17 missionary stations, with 13.586 out-stations. To serve these 112,616 missionaries are ‘ sustained which are nearly equally divided be- tween tlie sexes. Under these as assist- ants there are 6l,897Iconverte-:l natives laboring in the work. Such is the army of missionary workers now engaged in foreign fields and supported mainly fr0m_ the United States and Canada. The total number of Chiuch communicants of these missions is set down at 1,585,124 and the income of the societies sustaining these missions is set down at $15,560,693. Such are some of the general statistics of 240 out of 350 missionary societies of the Pro- testant world, represented at the great conference which is to continue for ten H days over which an ex-President of the United States presides, and to visit which President McKinley is to make a special trip from Washington. It will naturally occur to most minds that the value of the regenerative work so far effected in India, Airica, China and the islands of the sea is not to be measured by the number of actual communicants or converts. As in our own land of churches the good influence of the churches extend to millions who are not on the:communion roll, so in the dark places of the earth a vast work for good is being accomplished which no mere Istatistics can measure. There each missionary station is a. source of light and a centre of educative, humane and uplifting influences which would otherwise be wholly wanting. The work is gradual and necessarily slow, but it re- presents in the aggregate a vast achieve- ment. No one of the dark places into which the missionary has penetrated is quite so dark, cruel, superstitious and be- nighted as it was before, and the work of enlightenment and uplifting when it is once begun becomes in a large measure self~propagating. l We see an evidence of this in the fact that the number of native _ 4 | 1 P. l. lilllll llllllft illllllllll Notice is hereby given that the annual general meeting of the stock- holders of the above company will be zieldat their otlice in Charlottetown, on Wednesday, the ninth _day of May next.

It is areinarkable and regrettable fact at the time thc Protestant countries are thus taking counsel together in regard to missions that two of those countries are engaged in warfare with other peoples professing the Christian faith. It is always difficult to reconcile active war- fare with the Sermon on thc Mount, and the fact that these wars are now going on no doubt tends to confuse the heathen mind just as the tricks ofdishonest traders and the horrors of the liquor tratiic, introduced by civilized peoples into heathen lands, tend to bring discredit upon the Christian system. But while these great hindrances, exist, there is satisfaction in the knowledge that missionary enterprises are yearly growing in extent and usefulness, and the utility of the great work being done more and more commends itself to those who take a Christian interest in the great brother- hood of man. A Bit of Advice. This poem won third place in S. A. McDonald’s prize competition and was composed by John J. Euman of this city and is acreditable production : Are you feeling sort of flangnid, And not quite atyour ease ? And all because your trousers Are going at the knees. Perhaps your overcoat is faded, f Or your necktie's broken do wn, And your waistcoat looks dejected, Or your hat has lost its crown ? I hope and trust to goodness You’re not in such a state, _ / But if you are, take my advice, It`s not a bit too late. So kindly pay attention, Till I say my little say :- Tliose troubles all will disappear, If treated by S. A. l 1 I mean S. A. McDonald, (\Vho hasn't heard that name ?) His honest-dealing and good work Have already brought him fame. His Fashionable Tailoring Is well~known as the best; .lust leave your order with him, S. A. will do the rest ! -JOHN J. ENMAN. Cliftowiii March 30t.h_ 1900, HEART HUMBUG- It is fashionable today to have a new heart scare every 24 hours. The commonest symptoms of dyspepsia oi nerve trouble, such as palpitation, weak spells, loss of appetite ...id P001- circulation, are magnified ' and dis- torted into serious signs of heart trou- ble, with the object of frightening the public into taking this or that heart remedy. If a hundredrh part of the heart trouble we hear about were real, the cemeteries would be filled in s month. A wrong construction is put upon common ailments in order, to humbug the people into the belief that heart disease is prevaien t, where as real heart trouble. which is so sadly and suddenly fatal when it does occur, is a rare disease. Lopsided arguments cannot convince an in telligent people. Iron is a. vital elei ment of the blood. Too little iron means weakness. lack of spirits, pal- lid cheeks, shortness of breath, sleep- lessness, nervousness, loss of vital force, ending in general break down. The iron in Dr. Ward’s Blood and Nerve Pills is in the soluble form you need, in combination with other cura- tive agents in such a manner that disease can’t resist their action.
