International Church MagazineT T suppose most of my readers subscribe sub-scribe for some church paper. What, would you think of a periodical which aimed to supply interesting information from" all the religious bodies every week? A great man' interesting matters mat-ters were discussed at. the conference of tho foreign missions board of the United Slates and Canada during their recent sessions in New York. Amongst othors. the advisability ' of au international church magazine was suggested. It was felt that less church literature, but more concentrated effort, would produce greater great-er results, and the opinion was generally; gener-ally; expressed that tho demand would be great-for such a magazine. Advocates Sunday Theaters. To my mind the rcvereud doctor who lately wis instrumental in calling a meeting at tho New theater of tlic various vari-ous pastors of churches in and about New York mado a great mistake when ho look up lhe cudgels in fnvor'of opening open-ing lhe theaters on Sundays. I am afraid T am sufficiently out of sympathy with the gentleman's ideas on tho subject sub-ject to be disposed to think that it was! but another of the modern rays of seeking seek-ing popularity -which prompted his enthusiasm. en-thusiasm. The point, made was that as a great manv people who visit New-York New-York want fo go to the theater ou Sunday that it was tho part of wisdom for those pastors of souls who feel that they have some responsibility in such matters to say. "Well, if you are determined de-termined lo go to the theater I shan't hinder you, but I claim tho privilcgo of determining what plays you shall see.'' Censorship of Plays. Tu other words, the resolution proposed pro-posed contained the proviso that whatever what-ever legislation should be enacted "in the matter it should 'be. stipulated that a censorship of plays bo arranged in order that the pastors of churches in the city of New York might have a delerniin-ing delerniin-ing vote as to what, plays were proper for the entertainment of tho public on Sundays and what were not. Tho statement state-ment was made that people were now seeking entertainment on Sundays, and thai the theaters that Avere opened were of the lowest sort and that the sane and sensible means of overcoming this unquestioned un-questioned evil was to be found in the way suggested. Could Not Please All. Our friends in England could supplv some very entertaining reading if ajl the efforts of the English censor of plavs were to bo published. It is ono thing to pass a solemn resolution to have such a censor and it is quite nnother proposition prop-osition for the gentleman so appointed to please all parlies. But )d my mind a quite siifikient answer to tho whole! matter was contained in the reply lhat, is said lo have been given lo a'repre-1 sentative of the ministers interested .in the case, who asked a theatrical nf:ln ! agcr as to his views with regard lo Sun day opening. ..His answer was thn.t. in.; his opinion "Six daws' warjc in f ho week is enough." Another view of' tho cafe was presented by,onc of these self-same pastors, who said very frankly that, he thought thai ministers were pretty fresh when thoy Iried to go contrary to the Ten 'ommandmenls. " Uniting the Brethren. There are few names amongst the church workers of America more widely known than I hat of Silas jMeBce, the editor of tho New York Churchman. Fearless as a Bedouin Arab and with sympathy as wide as mankind, his voice is hoard in no uncertain accents on ev ery occasion when zealous workers in the cause for uniting tho separated brethren of Christ are assembled to gether. Tho Laymen "s Movement, mention men-tion of which has been so frequently made in these letters! han no uiorc enthusiastic en-thusiastic advocate than Silas McBee. ITe was a spenker at all the groat, conventions con-ventions of tho movement until the cause demanded his presence in Y rope. Of his reception in England the New York Evening Post speaks as Col lows: St a recent uicHim? of churchmen, representing ail dcnomiiialfonM. for lhe purpose uf discussing prcparatlona for a Pcruna rescued him from the fate of an invalid, and he is happy over it: lie wants everybody in the wide -world in know it. .lust writ'e him and see if some of his health vibrations won't ciu-vinen ciu-vinen you that he has Xound j1io real thing: Peruna's Victory Everywhere'. Pcruna has not only accomplished this for Capt. Swartz; but .a great many other oth-er chronic invalids all over the land. Another Remarkable Recovery. Mr. Sylvester- K. Smith, Koom 21S, Granite Block, SI. Louis, Mo., writes: "Peruna is the best friend a sick man can have. "A fcw.nionths ago I came here in a wrctchod condition. Exposure aud dampness had ruined 1113" onco, 'robust health. 1. had catarrhal affections of the .bronchial tubes, and for a time there was a doubt as to my recovery. "My good, honest old doctor advised me to take Ponuia, which 1 did. aud in a short time my health began to improve very rapidly, the bronchial troublp gradually grad-ually disappeared, and in thrco months my health was fully restored. "Accept a grateful man's thanks for his restoration to perfect health.
