debt in which it has become involved,
and the Society is gradually drifting
into a money making society, and to
accomplish its work have allowed so-
cials to be held, and troup entertain-
ments to be given in its assembly
room, and as our minds are so consti-
f.+-law,
toted as to recall past scenes, when we
meet in the same place, so we find it
hard to forget these scenes of amuse-
ment, in the religious meeting, and
consequently, failing to enter heartily
into the service, cannot but find the
meeting dull, and do nothing to make
it otherwise. Or, again, some societies
may be doing no definite work; indeed
apparently have forgotten for what
purpose it was organized, and have
fallen into a rut, each meeting being
the same as the preceding meetings,
until all its members know what will
be said and done, before going, and
such leagues are indeed dead. Any
Ieague or society acting along any of
these lines cannot expect any other
than cold and listless religious meet-
ings, and to have spiritual life again
wemust aim at the first object
of the society. Works of minor im-
portance ate all right in their place,
but let them only be used as a means
to help on the great work our league
should be doing, and for which it was
organized, that of winning souls for
the Master, and training them for Him.
One of the most active societies I
have heard of holds a meeting each
month for each department of work,
as follows:—The religious department
' holds a religious meeting; the literary,
a literary meeting; the mercy and help,
a religious meeting; the social, a free
entertainment. Each meeting con-
ducted by a person of his or her com-
mittee.
Our next division is the leader, and
to any society having dull meetings I
would say, see that the leader is re-
lieved of ail other church responsibili-
ties, it possible; that he may be able to
devote his whole attention to the one
important work, for no leader can pro-
perly look after a dead league, and do
It as he may wish to do it, and have
his attention divided, excepting he has
the day to himself, and few have.
However, besides this, we find this
person is often the cause of dull meet-
ings. He holds a very responsible po-
sition, for we find, as a general rule,
the meetings are what he makes them,
and as we find the leader, so we find
the members, If he comes late to the
meeting, the members will soon do
likewise; if he is not active, nor soci-
able, nor full of zeal, neither will the
members be active, sociable, or zealous.
If he loses faith in the meetings, or
confidence in himself, the members
wilt also, and it is not necessary for me
to tell the resitill, should the leader
show any of these faults. Besides
these, he • may kill the meeting by al-
lowing too many long prayers, or by
singing long hymns, in which the
members do not heartily join. By
allowing the meeting to get into a rut,
or by allowing such subjects to be tak-
en up for the address, which are nei-
ther interesting nor instructive, and
Which have too much of a sameness.
Now, as we see many errors which a
leader may make, the only remedy is
to shun any of these, and if any of
them are being allowed in your league
or society, they must be reversed, to
have life in the meeting. Also, see
that all business is transacted in the
sh rtest possible time, and should it
cessary to have business trans-
etes on any than, the regular meeting,
ring it on before the address, for
manyood impressions lose their effect
by a few minutes of business at the
close of the meeting. Waste no time
between numbers, throw heart into
the work, vary the conducting of the
meeting, be an example to all the com-
mittee workers, by your enthusiasm
in each department; he willing to assist
in any way you can in the work, and

society to call upon one person
often as this, but occasionally, u
they overcome the fear of their own
voice, and their fear of others, and take
part of their own free will.
The social part may be done by ap-
pointing two persons to stand at the
door and shake hands as the people
come, then let the leader occasionally
allow five minutes for social talk dur-
ing the meeting. Shortly after the
opening exercises may be the b

The editor of the Courier having hear
of this strange case of Mrs Simon Westfal
made enquiry and learned the fellowin

some tbree years ago, she went to the wel
and pumping some water she drank a per
tion. As she did so she felt something g
down her throat kinking, and told he
mother co at the time. Little she though
of the agony m store for her through drink
ing water from a purnp in the dark, for a
female lizard found its way into her atom
soh, and brought forth a brood. After a
while the sight of milk would make her
tremble and she had to gine it up. The
disorder increased so that the very sight of
milk would produce effects bordering on
oonyuleions. She lost her appetite but
would feel eo completely gone at the stom-
ach that she had to eat a cracker and take
some bailey roup frequently to quiet the
diaturbanoa within. She took medicine for
dyspepsia and every known stomach dis-
ease, but got no relief. She changed doctors
and the new dootor having experience of
this nature before, gave her medicine to
kill and expel the lizards. For three years
the poor woman suffered all kinds of phy-
sical and mental agony. Her whole sys-
tem, kidneys, liver and stomaoh were all
ont of order. Her heart would flutter and
palpitate so faintly as to be imperceptible,
and a smothering feeling wonld come over
her, and it was often thought she had given
her last gasp. Her memory was almost
gone, her nerves shattered so that the least
sudden movement would bring on collapse
through extreme weakness. Sitting or
standing she would be dizzy and experience
most depressed feelings and lowness of spir-
its. After the removal of the reptiles, the
doctor sanctioned the use of Dr. Williams''
Pink Pills, and she took three boxes but
found ne apparent relief. She then gave
up their use, believing she was past the
aid of medicine. At this time a Mrs
Haight, who suffered twelve weeks with la
grippe, and who was completely restored
by taking Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, urged Mrs Westfall to begin the
use of Pilau Pills again. She did so and
soon she perceived their beneficial effects.
Her appetite began to improve, and for two p
months she has steadily gained strength, r
health and steadiness of nerve and memory.
Site can now do her household work and
feel as well as ever. She says she cannot
speak as strongly of Pink Pills as she would e
any , like to, and feels very grateful for the great
so i good resulting from the use of this wonder- m
ntil ful medicine. t
Mrs Haight, before referred to, is enthnsi.
astic over her own perfect recovery from d
the after effects of la grippe, feeling as well
as ever she did in her life. She also eorrob- g
orates the above statement regarding Mrs

MEN AGAINST OXEN.
Few people know that a man, • bulk
for bulk, is stronger than an ox, but it
appears that is the case. The matter
was tested the other day at the Cum-
berland county (Maine) fair, a feature
of which was a contest of a yoke of ox-
en against an equal weight of men. A
drag was loaded with granite blocks,
weighingthe aggregate 4,959 pounds.
The yoke of oxen that made thetrial
weighed 3,220 pounds, and twenty
men, allowing 160 pounds to the man,were set against them. The men took
hold of the drag first, and easily walk-
ed off with it. covering a distance of
ninety-five feet in two minutes. The
oxen at their trial made but eight -five
feet in the same length of time, and
the men were declared winners.
