Members may be constituted for life by the payment of thirty dollars into the treasury of the Association, with the written declaration at the time or times of payment that the sum is to be applied to constitute a designated person a life member; and such membership shall begin sixty days after the payment shall have been completed.
Every church which has within a year contributed to the funds of the Association and every State Conference or Association of such churches may appoint two delegates to the Annual Meeting of the Association; such delegates, duly attested by credentials, shall be members of the Association for the year for which they were thus appointed.

For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil,
For freeness from dust and slowness to soil,
And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed,
And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.
Of all imitations ’tis well to beware;
The half risen sun every package should bear;
For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use,
And none are permitted the mark to abuse.
We are the General Agents for the United States and Canada for this wonderful and First Class Organette. It is a reed instrument, and is constructed on the same principle as an organ, with bellows and full size reeds. The music consists of perforated sheets, which are put into the Organette, furnishing either finished solo performance, a rich accompaniment to the voice or valuable orchestral effects. They are marvels of musical invention, and combine in themselves all the principles upon which automatic organs, organettes, etc., are now being made, requiring no skill in the performer; any child old enough to use its hands intelligently can play, and the range of music is absolutely unlimited. We wish to introduce one of these Organettes in every town and hamlet throughout the United States and Canada, and in order to do so speedily have concluded to sell a limited number to the readers of this magazine at ONLY $5.00 each. This is much under the regular price, and in order to protect ourselves from persons ordering in large quantities we require you to cut this advertisement out and send to us with your order on or before September 1st, 1883. We will positively not sell more than one Organette to any one person at this reduced price, as we only make this unprecedented offer to introduce this first-class Organette throughout the world, well knowing that, after one is received in a neighborhood, we will sell several at our regular price.
We wish to caution you against the many worthless automatic instruments being sold under various names. We are the General Agents for the McTammany Organette, and you must order direct from us or through our authorized Agents. Remember, the McTammany Organettes are not toys, but are large and powerful instruments, built of black walnut, highly polished and decorated in gold, the Reeds being so powerful that they produce sufficient volume of music for the chapel, parlor or lodge. There is nothing about them to get out of order, in fact, they produce a richer and sweeter sound after having been used for a few years. For HOME ENTERTAINMENTS they are unsurpassed. The cut will give you but a faint idea of size and finish of this instrument, but we will return the money and pay express charges to any one who is not perfectly satisfied after receiving it. With each Organette we inclose a selection of popular tunes, and pack all in a strong box. Money can be sent by Registered Letter, Money Order or Draft, or we will send the Organette by express, C. O. D., with the privilege of examination before taking out of the express office, if you send $1, to guarantee us against express charges. If you are in New York at any time call on us, or if you have friends living here request them to call and purchase for you. If you wish to act as an agent for us send to us at once and secure the agency for your town. You can easily sell the instruments at $10 to $15 each. Address or call on

COMPOUND OXYGEN,
FOR THE CURE OF CHRONIC DISEASES.
“I Almost Forget that I Have Been Sick.”
This is the declaration of a lady in Wellsville, Mo., whose friends, to use her own words, “had all given up that I was going with Consumption as fast as I could.” We give her own account of the marvelous change wrought by Compound Oxygen:
“I was convalescing from a six weeks’ fever when I began using the Oxygen. Was very much reduced in flesh and strength; could only sit up a part of the time. Had a slight cough and raised some matter and phlegm from my lungs. After using the Oxygen one week my weight was eighty nine and a half pounds; three weeks after it was ninety-two pounds, a gain of two and a half pounds in three weeks. I think it has been much faster for the last two weeks.
“I have been using Oxygen for six weeks and am now able to ride to town, six miles, do my shopping and back again, get dinner for my family and work at light housework all the remainder of the day without stopping to rest. Am feeling so strong and well that I almost forget I have been sick and should think my lungs well if it were not for the smarting or uneasy feeling in my throat and some pain between my shoulders at times.
“My cough (when I do cough, which is not often) is much more satisfactory and less of a hack than it was six weeks ago, and I think I raise more phlegm and less matter.
“I am able to do my own work, and it is so easy that I find it a real pleasure. Appetite is splendid. Sleep seven or eight hours soundly; no night sweats, no distressing sick headaches, as I used to have. My friends had all given up that I was going with Consumption as fast as I could, but instead, I am looking better than for years, and I think it is through God’s mercy and His blessing and your Oxygen that has brought me health and happiness.”
“A Wonder to all my Friends.”
A lady at Sandy Creek, N.Y., wrote us in April last, giving a statement of her case. She had been a sufferer for many years, especially from Neuralgia.
We had but one report of the case, and that a brief one, until October 20, 1882, when the following was received. It will be seen that the treatment has been doing a good work, and that the lady, to use her own words, is “a wonder to all her friends.”
“Last April I procured a Home Treatment from you and have written you once since then. I have been greatly benefited by the use of the Oxygen. When I wrote you a description of my case you expressed the opinion that with freedom from care and work I might be cured by taking the Treatment. I have never worked so hard or steadily as through the past summer, and have not felt so well, so much alive for years, and all this from the use of only about half a Treatment. I have been so very busy that I have not taken the Oxygen regularly at all; neither have I reported to you but once before, so I could blame no one but myself if I were not benefited. I have not felt quite as well for the past two weeks, but am going to be more faithful in the use of the Oxygen, and I hope to improve. I am a wonder to all my friends, but I give the credit where it is due—to the use of the Oxygen.”
Strong Testimony from a Physician.
A physician in Troy, Tenn., whose wife was in the early stages of Consumption, wrote to us in May last, ordering a Treatment. In a second letter, received some weeks after the Compound Oxygen was received, he says:
“She coughs some. Has no night sweats. Had some chills lately; short breath; pain in left lung under breast; some hemorrhage recently; appetite and sleep moderate; losing flesh since using Compound Oxygen; is some better in all respects; coughs up some blood and pure pus; breathes better than before using Compound Oxygen.”
We did not hear again from the case until Sept. 22, 1882, when a letter came, in which the writer states that he had been waiting to see if the good work begun by our Treatment was going to be permanent. His report, which we give below, is highly satisfactory:
“You will no doubt think that I have been very negligent in writing you in regard to my wife’s case. Please receive my apology. I was just waiting to see if what your Treatment was doing would be permanent. I have so much to say that I hardly know where to begin.
“I gave you the symptoms when I made the order. For the first three weeks my wife did not improve any. After that time she improved slowly but steadily. She is now like a new person. She is gaining all the time. Her breathing is better than for two years, and she is gaining strength and flesh.
“When she began your Compound Oxygen she could not walk fifty yards without great exhaustion. She can now walk half a mile with but little fatigue. Her lungs pain her but little. She sleeps well at night; appetite good; has not had any hemorrhage since last of July, and then light; and, to cut the matter short, she said this morning that she began to feel like herself again.
“You are at liberty to refer to me or my wife any one similarly affected.”
Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen is sent free of charge. It contains a history of the discovery, nature and action of this new remedy, and a record of many of the remarkable results which have so far attended its use.
