A man from Corea arrived recently in Loudon with his two sons. He could not speak a word of English, but he showed an address inside a little Bible and was guided to the Bible House, in Queen Victoria Street, Then he pour- ed out a heap of money on the table and pointed to his two sons. When an interpreter was found, writes a sLondon correspondent of "The Chris- tian Science Monitor," the man re- lated how he knew of nothing else in England but the place which had sent I his Bible to him in Corea, and he had come there with his sons because he wanted them to be educated as Chris- tians. -, In the windows of the .Bible House are bibles which ,show the link with little peoples and great peoples all over the waledBecause of this work, the Bible, or parts of the Bible, ire priiiteas in 572 languages to -day. By • reason of such efforts the Gospel has been published in a fresh language every sin weeks for the last ten years. • To Honor Tindale's Work. The libeery has a chained Bible and basions ethers in which are misprints, The Hebrew Roll of the Law, which is suPposed to be 400 years old, was found in a cave near Damascus. It is written on sixty sheepskins and con- tains 204 volumns of writing. The "Sonldier's Bible," seepared thy Cromwell " for bis army, presents a great contrast in size te the little 'khaki volume issued to the 13ritish oI diers in the World War. Yet it con- tains, extracts oily • which "doe slew file qualifications of his inner man, that is a saulder to fight the Lord's. Eattele both before he fight in the fight, and after the fight," • Book Written With Twigs, In many curioue ways have the bibles been written. The Bette char- acters are written with a twig and ink made of soot upon bamboo. staves and the bark of treea. Photographs usual- ly are marlei of the pages of the bibles written by hand, and plates for print - Mg are made from the photographs. The printing's done ae much as Poe- stble in the countries where the bibles are to be sold. But, even so, 434 tons of Scripture have been sent out from •the Bible House during the last year. Bibles ''by weight is the measure in the warehouse, for the boxes have to be made up according to the loads the native porters, mules or camels can carry In the different 'countries. A man's head load in Nyasaland is fifty- psoix unpdotids, while in Nigeria it is sixty Bibles delft also into forbidden areas. People coming down from Af- ghanistan, where the Mahometans do not like any Western influence at all, are given the forbidden Bible and take it home with them. People from Tibet, also, where Christian missionaries are not allowed by the Buddhists to settle, come across to India and ga into China, where they find the Scriptures. In China itself, during the last year, when the country has been in con- tinual chew, 715,000 volumes of the Scriptures—more than in any year be- fore—have been circulated, At present it is not possible to send the Bible into Russia. The authorities will not allow it across the frontier. Yet there is evidence that the re- ligious Russian peoples have not lost their love for the Scriptures. There are Siberian peasants who would will- ingly give a cow for a Bible. In the words of William tindale, the Bible Society is asking: "Who is so blynde To axe why lyght shulde be shewed to them that walks in dercknes?" • The work o,f the first translator to ,put the New Testament into printed Tindale—is being commemorated at the Bible House this autumn in its 400th anniversary. Copies of all the earliest editions of Tindale's Testament hive been gath- ered together in an exhibition in the library. A long line of translators both be- fore and after Tindale are commemor- ated in tbis library of 10,000 bibles., or part bibles, in different lauguages. There is the Latin Bible, written by hand, probably in the twelfth oentury, said to ' have belonged to Luther's friend, Melanchthon, the Garman re- former; there is Wycliffe's Manuscript New Testament in English, of 1420, beautifully illuminated; there is the earliest New Testament printed in an Indian language and the first in Any language printed in America, trans- : bated by John Eliot, "the Apostle of the Indians"; there is St. John's GA• : pelsin Tahitian, written in 1820 by Pomare II., King of Tahiti. And there Is the greatest treasure of all—a Page of oldest manuscript of St. John, in Coptic, the Did language of Egypt, Which was found about two l'rears ago during excavations in Egypt. It was written en papyrus --reeds of the Nile —about 400 A.D., and was found in- closed in a string bag in an earthen- ware pot. • Signs of Persecution Shown.

The Tablets are praised by thousands of mothers throughout the country. These mothers have found by aotual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used them for •her children she will usa nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Charles Hutt, Tan000k Island, 11.S., writes: "I have ten children. the baby being just six months old. I have used Baby's Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years and can truthfully say that I know of no better medicine for little ones. I always keep a box of the Tablets in the house and would ad -vise all other mothers to do so." Baby's ,Own Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or will be mailed up- on receipt of price, 25 cents per box, by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A little booklet, "Care of the Baby in Health and Sick- ness," will be sent tree to any mother on request. • If your Soot trip, you may raver our balancebut if your tonguo slip, you can not recall your words.— Telugu.

Source—A place name. Faintly names which were in the first place but the names of localities in which the original bearers lived are not se very difficult to trace, for the names of places seem to change less in their spelling than the names of families, and besides, therel is always a wealth, of historical data in connec- tion with place mamas which Is so of- ten lacking in the case of family names, and which makes it easy to identify the ancient forms of place •.names. Thus, you need only a good atlas to come to the corkehesion that the family name -of Radcliff it the ,same as that of Radcliffe, a place in Lancashire, England, Of courke, the original form of the family game was preceded by "de" (meaning "of") and indicating that the person referred to had come frcnn or tormerly 'lied' in that place. In the case of Radcliffe, the meaning of the place nanlo NI not hard to Ater, tain, either, though it is not quite ap- parent it first, owing to the change ef a single v0Wel. Spell it "Radcliff" and you have it. WN DELL Racial Origin—English and Dutch: Source—A locality or an occupation. There are two sources of the name Wendell. One of them is English and one of them is Dutch., In the individ- ual case you will have to decide from ieome knowledge of ancestry as to which explanation applies. Wandle is the name of a river in Surrey, and nothing would be more na- tural than the development in Many eases of a family name based upon it, as indicating the place from which the first bearers had come, er with which they were identified in some peculiar way. Records prove, however, that in a great many instan09s this family nettle is not from I:Mash but from Dutch sources, And in this case •it repre. stents a shortened form of the Dutoh Word "wandelaar," , which signified literally a "walker," figuratively and more generally, a traveler, or one who has been a traveler. in this case the original deecriptiVe forth. ,ot the sur- name Would haVe been "De Wande- Mar."

Indigestion, for instance, is characterized by pains in the stomach, and often about the heart; rheuma- eisin by sharp pains in -the limbs and joints; headaches are a sign that the nerves on- stomach are out of order. In some ailments,- such as anaemia, pain is not so prominent. 1p this case Nature's warning takes the form of pallor, breathlessness after slight ex- ertion, palpitation of the heart, and loss of appetite, Whatever form these warnings take, wise people will not ignore the fact that many diseases have their origin in poor blood, and that when the blood is enriched the trouble disappears. D. Williams' Pink Pills are most helpful in such cases because they purify and build up the blood to its normal strength. In this way it tones up the nerves, re- stores the appetite and gives perfect health. Miss Hazel Berndt, of Arn- prior, Out., has proved the great value of this medicine and says:—"I am a ylrung girl and have been working in a factory for the past four years. For two years I had been in such poor health that at times I could not work. I was thin and pale, and troubled with headaches and fainting spells. I doc- tored nearly all this time, but it did not help me. My mother advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after using them for a while I could notice an improvement in my condi- tion. I used nine boxes and can truth- fully say that my health is restored. When I began taking the pills I weighed 97 pounds and now I weigh 114. I feel that I owe my good health to. Dr. ,Williains' Pink Pills and hope other ailing people will give them 'a -fair trial." You can get these pills through any 'medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. 'Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Somewhere a woman, thrusting fear away, Faces the future bravely, for your sake, • Toils on from dawn till dark, from day to day, Fights back her tears, nor heeds the bitter ache; She loves you, trusts you, breathes in prayer your name— Soil not her faith in you by sin or shame. Somewhere a woman—mother, sweet- heart, wife— Waits betwixt hopes and fears for your return; Her kiss, her words will cheer you in the strife • When death itself canfronts you, grim and sterna But let her image all your reverence When base temptations scorch you with their flame. Somewhere a woman watches, thrilled with pride— Shrined iii her heart, you share a place with none; She toila she waits, she prays, till , side by side Yon stand -together when the fight is done. Ob, keep for her dear sake a stainless name, Bring braek to her a manhood free from shame. New Steel for Ships.
