The famed Bible defender, the ren*
erable Pastor Russell of London a_od
Brooklyn Tabernacles, has won un-
stinted praise from the press and public
of many nations by forty years’ unceas-
ing activity as evangelist and writer.
In the early part .of his ministry
t?P>-*?ler cities were frequently 'visited,
not so now, .since his field of op-
eration has become world-wide, and
the urgent invitations to deliver free
public lectures in. the Digest cities
imve become so numerous thaTeven all
of these cannot bo accepted.
-For the past several, years Pastor
It us Sell 1ms made semi-annual foreign
tours, and, through the press report* of
his meetings held In large public hjills
of the.leading] cities, he has received-
inueli favorable comment, and publicity.
W»nd*r?ul Drawing Power.
As a public speaker on Bible topics,
Pastor Russell stands unrivaled—
Vtfiqdli alone In a place,created by] hi*
own fedfvlfliia! work, a place not prerl-
&©lu»ly tiwiitiid nor occupied1 by ahertber.

than to quote here the henrt-to heart

quiet, discursive talks on serious subjects

conventional description Pastor Russell
Is a clear, easily understood thinker; he
eschews dogma and all subtleties of form
and faith, and he *ays what he has to say
on the great truths of religion and morals
In plain but always beautiful language
He speaks and writes not only to the or-
dinary church-goer, as we accept tho
phrase, but to all Intelligent men and wo-
men. and l for one can quite w.e.n appre-
ciate the unparalleled popularity which
he has achieved In America—a popularity.
1 feel convinced, he will very soon equal

am hopeful that they win ho an extremely
popular feature of the Journal.’*
The Press of America.
Pastor RussoU's popularity abroad
does uot deprive him of the honor of
preaching to the largest congregation
in America. Surprising as It may
seem, bin sermons are at present pub
lished in more than one thousand
newspapers in America, reaching ap
proxfmntoly ten million homes weekly
Last June and July, while making a
trans-continental tour to attend the Bi-
ble Students Convention at San Fran-
cisco, Pastor Russell made several
stops en route, and the reception every
where accorded the “American Spur
peon” was most heart-cheering.
Many excellent accounts of his meet-
ings were published. “The San Fram
Hsco Call.” In making reference to
what other papers were saying, inter-
estingly summarized as follows:—
"Pastor RusSqll's given name ha* been
tost to public record during the lost ten
years. In wbidh he has beeri famous As the
great ‘Pastor’—plain Pastor RuseelJ—who
has swayed hundreds of thousands In this
country and abroad.
"Do they coma to hear him? Well, rAth-
•r! So far it has been Impossible to *n-
gage a hall large enough to hold the
crowds. Dreamland Rink has been hired
for this occasion. In Kansas City, Den-
ver, Salt Lake and Los Angeles the Pas-
tor and his faithful crpw have taken the
populace by storm The newspapers have
given him moro space than a war scare
and print his speeches Uk© a Presidential
message."
Has Many interpreters.

Much has been said and .more
written about the woman in the
factory and behind the counter, but
how about the woman who works in
the held ? I want to sa}’ a few words
in her behalf. I regret a neces-
sity that compels woman to work
for a livelihood and I favor noi
only shortening her hours, but free-
ing her from manual labor entirely.
[ crave for society that high stand-
ard of excellence where the home
is woman's throne .and her life is
devoted to molding the character
and elevatihg the thought of the
rising generation. But so long as
want, greed and misfortune prevail
in this world, women, through choice
or necessity, will work, and* per-
haps they will work, at one -task
or another, as- many hours per day
as^ihey please.
We may pity the weak and, ad-
mire the .strong in their .struggle.,
but the iarm woman is entitled to
her share of sympathy *and reward.

The City Life Puny.
The farm women work from sun
until sun. They do their house-
work and lull a half million babes
to sleep after the chickens go to
roost and they get breakfast and
milk the cows before the lark sings.
The city woman frequently chafes
under hardships that the farm wom-
en would consider a blessing. The
city people are great talkers and
of times greatly magnify their
troubles and enlarge their accom-
plishments. This characteristic per-
meates organized society as well as
enters into the individual life of
cities. The/e are orphan asylums
which are doing commendable work
and should he encouraged, that
boast of their accomplishments, but
l have seen widows in the country
make a crop, drink branch water
and eat corn-bread and molasses
and raise more children and better
children than many of these city
orphan asylums. The cities need
to get back to the soil with their
ideal*. They are hysterical, mniv
land feeble in their conception of
- life, its requirements and its op-
portunPh
Add one-half gallon of boiling water,
cover tightly and let remain on fire.
Prepare eight large chili peppers, re-
moving seeds and stem. Wash, and
boil until tender, skin and take the
flesh of peppers and eight cloves of
garlic, chopped fine, add one table-
spoonful of eaniela seeds, mash to-
gether well. Salt to taste, add to
meat and boil two hours, adding
water as needed.
