STILL MORE TESTIMONY FOB iyr OTHER AUBERT'B REMEDIES Invercargill, Nov. 27, 1891. Mr Kempthornc. Dear Sir,— Pleaso send mo another gross of Mother Mary Joseph Aubcrt's .Remedies. I find they all sell remarkably well, particularly Paramo. Those who got ib once come back for more.— Yours truly, C. 11. Macauster, Chemist, i Meanee, Hawke's Bay, Sept. 9, IS9I. , To Sister Mary Joseph Aubert. , I write to express my gratitude tor_ tho '■ benefit myself and family have derived > from your medicines, nad can say that their effects were really marve'lous. ■. William Fabrau. ; Meanee, Sept. 14, 1891. Dear Sister, — I am too thaukful to , have the opportunity of testifying to the , gtnniueuess of your medicines, having ! given up all hopes of ever getting better, | until a friend brought you to me, when '• four small bottles of your medicine cured \ me, and what ia more, I have been a | stronger man ever since. That was in . July, 1882. , Henry Painter, senr. : Meanee, Sept. 30, 1891. , Messrs Kempthorne, Prosser aud Co. ; Gentlemen, — Having used Sister Joseph's medicines for over twelve years, I can honestly say that they cannot bo surpassed. I have seen a number of hopeless ensea brought to her and cured. She is the best, kindest, and noblest of ladies, and r never made any charge to rich or poor, ) nor did it matter to what denomination t yon belonged you had tho same kindness i shown yon, I My own daughter, eleven years ot oge, I met with an accident, and although some ' of tho best doctors in Uawke's Bay I despaired of saving her life, Sister Joseph ! never gave up, but worked hard day and ' night, and, thank God, saved her life.— ' Yours, &c, r M. You.no. j Naher Telegraph : (March'2sth, 1592). ' Mr H. Owen, one of our local chemists, certifies iv our columns to the benefits derived from the use of Mother Mary [ Joseph Aubert's remedies. It is evident there is a great future beforo these purely local vegetable medicines, and which we hear are now about to be introduced iuto l New South Wales, Victoria, and tho othei Australian Colonies, and will bring the " name of Now Zealand very prominently before the public of the Southern Con- [ tinent, and bo one of the heat advertise' menu for this Colony. The proprietoi ' deserves success from the spirited way in . which he has entered in this enterprise. f _-_—_—. m 8 J A ROYAL PREACHER. i For the parallel to tho curious little t book just published ("Tho German 3 Emperor's Sennou") the bibliographer ' will have to wander very far afield, for r not since the royal author of Ecclciastes • wrote that "1, tho preacher, was king t over Israel in Jerusalem " has the occii- ' pant ot a throne appeared before the pub.ic as a preacher of ecrmons. The ' yonng Emperor of Germany has surprised 1 us so often and so much that it will ' scarcely cause astonishment to find him I assuming this guise. That it should be t regarded as a sensational occurrence at t all is, however, lex the fault of the I earnest young Kaiser tlmu nf tho mauy > members of his illustrious order, whose t conceptions of civic and kingly duty have fallen co short of the requirements of their high position, and whoso conduct has impressed the public mind with a type of monarch in which the re- ' ligieus element is not specially prominent. As a matter of fact there is uothitg out of the common in this latest avatcr of the r Kaieer. Had ho appeared beforo his ' people tis a professional preacher, he ', might have justified himself by the examples of many chiefs of, the Hebrew Commonwealth, or he might have pleaded that divine rights carry with them divine duties, and that the bead of a church has an indefea»iblo claim to expound the truth as it uin that church. But he bus ■ done notjiiug of tlie kind, He has only i followed in the wake of the lay preachiug , which has taken co firm a hold on devout : yonuß men of the. present day, acd even ' then he has only lend sermons written by 1 one of liia own army chnpluinu when there , wus no qualified clergyman to undertake I the oflice. f Till! KINO OF THK SHIP. i The sermons were preached during two 1 voyage? to the North Sea undertaken iv > 1890 and 1891, and the capacity in which i thi.' Kaiser officiated is eet out in the i following passages in the opening dlsi course of the second series :— i "To-day in all parts of the earth the Sabbath bells are ringing out their > invitation to the house of God, while the people press upon Him to licur the Word of God. Let us ouce more, then, to-dny with praise and thanksgiving, on account of ll in words of mercy aud IHs merciful presence, experience thnt, whether united or parted we ate but one iv the Lord. Onr ship itself to duy forms his pulpit, and in His nume does the cuptuin in his capacity of actual head of the establishment, yes, as kins of his ship, hold this service on board, not only as his noblest function, but also m his most sacred Sabb.uh duty, without superobundance of words, himply and homely, as becomes a sailor, while the ship's folk press round to hear the Word of God with open ears and hearts." This passage well describes the unambitions scope and stylo of the whole of tho nine discourses. It is, moreover, an illustration of the extent to which the Kinperor's individuality has entered into their composition, That he directly inspired these discourses, if ho did not actually write portions of them, no one who carefully reads them can doubt for a moment. They are full of illustrations drawn from hia own position and his own experiences, Take, for example, this striking reference to his personal dependence on the Creator : — "Fur what is devotional exercise but the losing of oneself in Him, the One, the un>ppakahly great and glorioim, the origiu of ull beiug and life, ot whom uud through whom and to whom lire all things —but the feeling of utter dependency upon Him, who was, before the world wns created, God from eternity to eternity, before whom / am as nothing, and, though I irere the mightiest man on earth, biit> ' a drop iv the ocean of creation,' and yet— His child I Nothing without Him, all in Him j utterly dependent upon His power, and yet quite free, royally free in His love, which is the greaiest power— yes, tho only great power in heaven aud on earth ! " A MONARCH'S MISSION. More characteristic still are tho pasEdges in which the Emperor expounds his conceptions of a monarch's mission. Here is a contrast between tho conqueror and the social reformer : — " It is a grand thing to subdue countries and peoplos to oneself, as did the (jreat conquerors of ancient aud modern times ; but it is a fur grander thing to subdue human heaits, since each heart is a world in itself. It is a grand thing to leign ever others, ns is a monarch's iirduom occupation ; to command others, as is o, superior's refepunsible duly; but it is a lur grander thing to subject to oneself the hearts of one's subjects — to win over to oneself the hearts of one's inferiors ia such a way as to secure their willing obedience." But it is not only in these ethical reflections that the subjectivity of the Kaiser may bo detected. It comns out moro strongly iv the very unorthudox but exceedingly npb illußsrwtious with which hisbennons are
