A" MARVELLOUS NEW DISCOVERY FOR WASHING CLOTHES At last! After many years of research and experi- ments, a really Wonderful Scientific Method has been discovered for. Washing Clothes by means Df Compressed Air and Suction. The SWIFT- SUItE" Patent Vacuum Washer, for this is the name of the invention, which is manufactured, owned, and controlled in Great Britain by a piffely British Firm, suck;s the dirt out of the clothes and does away v, ith boiling and rubbing, and effects an immense saving in coal, clothes, and labour. It is true to say that the SWIFTSURE" Washer, with its wonderful Patent Ball-Valve arrangement transforms wash-day from a day"bf drudgery into a day of sunshine and pleasure in fact, wash-day becomes one of the happiest days of the week when the "SWIFTSURE" is used. As there is no bending and straining of the back when operating the SWIFTSURE and it is very easy to use (in fact, a child can do it), and as' there is no need to put the hands into water a lady who is not strong is enabled to do the weekly washing. The SWIFT- SURE will wash the heaviest quilts, blankets, sheets, etc., and all kinds of woollen goods with ease and the most dainty handkerchiefs, blouses, lace curtains, etc., with the assurance- that they will not be torn or the stitches broken in the process. The SWIFTSURE is a special boon to those I who suffer from rheumatism or an impaired state of health, or to those who are susceptible to colds, as it is very easy and, in fact, a real pleasure to operate, and the hands are not put into water, and there is no bending or straining of the back. The SWTFTSURE" Washer will save hours of hard work and drudgery every w. ;-a-day, and in the course of a year will easily save over £ 10 in coal, soap, and by keeping the clothes from wear and tear in the wash. No special iiibs or baths 'are required for use with the "SWIFTSURE," and it is Sent cut on 14 days' FREE TRIAL with no obli- gation to buy. \¥ARNING. We hereby Warn the public against spurious imitations. The GENUINE paten* SWSFTSIJRE l Vacuum Washer with the Wonderful BAUL-VALVE is sent on 14 FSISE TKIASL, direct by the BKITISH j VACUUM WASH3ER 91, BUIIE ST., 1 LIVERPOOL. I The SWIFTSURE is one of, if not actually, THE GREATEST DOMESTIC LABOUR-SAVING APPLIANCE OF THE 20th CENTURY. We print below a few extracts taken from hundreds of unsolicited testimonials received from some of the thousands of satisfied purchasers of SWIFT- SURE :— 3-4 HOURS' HARD TOIL SAVED ON WASH-PAY. The Rev. GEO. BRAIN, North End, Portsmouth, writes, October 8th, 1S>39 :—" May I say that I never in all my life paid a bill with greater satis- faction than I do this ? The SWIFTSURE' Vacuum Washer is truly marvellous. One needs to see to believe in this case. People to whom you speak of its wonderful work are sceptical until they see for themselves. Washing that used to take five or six hours is now done in two. Every house- wife in Britain ought to have one, and hard toil will change to pleasure." WASH-DAY TRANSFORMED INTO A DAY OF IUAL PLEASURE. The Rev. ROWLAND STUJiT, Stonehouse, Glos., writes: I enclose cheque for the Vacuum Washer, and have never paid an account with greater satisfaction or pleasure. Tha Washer does all and more than you claim for it; the results are-simply surprising. Our maid cannot find words in which to express her delight. The day hitherto regarded with dread is now transformed into a few minutes of real pleasure." PAID FOR ITSELF HUNDREDS OF TIMES OVER. Mr. JOHN THOMPSON Glen View, Saltford near Bristol, writes, August 15th, 1919 :—" The SWIFTSURE Vacuum Washer we had from you over 2 years ago is as good as the day it arrived. My wife would not be without, it on any account. It* does all and more than you guaranteed, it to do. She can wash Sheets, Quilts, and Blankets with ease, where we had to put all heavy things out » before we had it. It has paid for itself-HUNDREDS OF TIMES OVER. BOILING AND RUBBING DONE AWAY WITH. Mrs. A. L. BATES, 16, Summerland Mansions, Muswell Hill, London, N., writes" Have, pleasure to inform you that. I. have tested your Vacuum Washer and have lound it most satisfactory. It aoes away with both boiling and rubbing, so saves both time and money." The "SWIFTSURK" is different to any other washer in existence and is honestly made of Solid Copper to last a life-time, and has a wonderfully effective and yet simple Patented BALL-VALVE Contrivance in its interior which regulates the flow of air and water.

©LEANINGS FROM THE DIOCESES:

FROM THE DIOCESES: NORWICH. THE minister;, deacons and congrega- tion of Princes-street Congregational Church have just celebrated their centen- ary. By an act of Christian courtesy -they invited the Bishop of the diocese, the Dean and some other clergy of the Church of England to a luncheon given in their lecture hall. The Bishop, in a little speech after luncheon, told a good story to illustrate the antiquity of the Church. It was, he said, a year of anniversaries in Nor- wich. St. Mary's Baptist Cha-pel had lately observed its 250th, Princes-street Congregational Church its 100th year, and Norwich Cathedral the 800th anni- versary of; the founder, Herbert de Losinga's dearth. A Good Story. The Bishop then told how a telegram addressed, Bishop, Palace, Norwich," was returned by the Pest Office 'to the seifder marked "Unknown." The Bishop's Chaplain in wrath sought out a, postal official, who explained that "P.ala.ce,Norwich," was the registered! address of a, picture palace: that in- quiries had befrn made and that ThV Mr. Bishop" could be discovered. The Chaplain, not contented, interviewed the manager of the picture palace. The man- ager, after apologising for any incon- venience that had arisen, explained to the Chaplain that" we have had this "as our registered address for eight months." "Yes," replied the Chaplain, "and we have had this as such fOTeigh-t hundred years." Acting on Principle. Most wisely did the Bishop remark that it was most necessary for us all from time to time to re-examine our principles. The Pharisees no doubt acted on prin- ciple." A principle need not be a sure guide. Mutual Debts. Another speaker spoke of the debt that Nonconformists owed to the Church hymn-writers. But, vice versa, it should not be forgotten that 0 God, our help in ages past," was the work of a Free Church minister. We share our trea- sure of sang. Changes in the Nonconformist Outlook. Another speaker spoke of the new spirit that had swept over Nonconform- ity during the last fifty years. The old savere Calvinism was dead. So was the doctrine of the verbal inspiration of the Bible and the antagonism to science. What a disinterested spectator might well ask is, "Why do these earnest people, who love the Church of England, and who are creitiilg 'Bisli.ops'-why do they n t i m to their old Mother? Let them re-examine their principles." LICHFIELD. THE Bishop of Lichfield, who is no ad- vocate of half-measures, has acted with his usual energy in this urgent matter. When, a short while ago, an anonymous Archdeacon offered LI,000 to the diocese which should first raise an equal amount from its own resources, the Bishop at once circularised all thelichfield clergy .whose incomes reached £ 500, and asked them to contribute, towards the relief of their poorer brethren. The response, which was astonishingly generous, pro- duced £ 1,200, -and Lichfield consequently had the honour of receiving the Arch- deacon's gift. Indeed, as regards the re- sponsive clergy, a of bis dat qui cita dat! This sum is to be further aug- mented by an appeal to the laity, a-nd the whole amount obtained will be dis- tributed amongst the necessitous clergy before Christmas. This, however, does not exhaust the plans for the future. The Diocesan Board of Finance allocated £ 3,000 for this purpose in 1920 (by raising the parochial Quotas 33 per cent.), to be added to the block grant of £4,000 from the Central Church Fund, and .altogether the Bishop hopes to have some C9,000 at his disposal for next year's meeds. The Stafford Convention. The county town, following the lead supplied by Stoke and West Bromwich in recent years, is to hold a Convention on i February 3 to 5, preceded on February 2 ry by a joint evening service in St. Mary's for all the parishes in the f.;own. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God should provide a real message for the times, and the list of speakers gives something more than diocesan import- ance. The Bishop of the diocese, Dr. Kempthorne, who will preside, has ob- tained the help of the Bishops of Dur- ham and Edinburgh, the Chaplain- General (Bishop Taylor Smith), Canon Robinson of Canterbury, the Rev. Har- rington Lees, and the Rev. Walter J. Carey, The Hospitality Committee is working hard to prepare "billets" for I, visitors ,to the Convention, arid all arrangements are in the hands of the Rev. J.E. Jones, Vicar of Christ's Church, Stafford, to whose initiative and energy the Convention owes its origin. LEICESTER. THE final meeting of the General Com- li-nittee of the Church Congress was. held in Leicester on Thursday tafternoon, De- cember 4, the Bishop of Peterborough -presiding.Tlio general secretary (Rev. w„ Thompson Elliott) presented a re- port. He said they were all deeply thankful for the success of the Congress in spite at.many difficulties, chiefly the cost of railway travelling, and the fact of the railway strike during the period when tickets might have been expected to be selling most rapidly. Eight days be- fore the Congress began the number of tickets sold was only 800, but before the opening day it had risen to 1,780, which might be regarded as a very sttis-riactot-y number under the circumstances. The arrangements for the Congress had worked without a hitch. The level of the papers read was very high all through, and the whole programme had aroused much interest. Most notable of all was the spiritual tone which prevailed throughout;; and he desired to make him- self, the spokesman of the whole commit- teo in expressing to the Bishop of the diocese their profound sense of the debt which they owed to him for his inspiring presidency. Financial Statement. The treasurer (Mr. S. K. Daniels) pre- sented a statement of accounts, which s showed total receipts of £ 1,319 5s. 4d., in- cluding a. sum of £ 288 lis. lOd. produced by a 12 per cent. call on the Guarantors. The expenses amounted to £ 1,318 lis. 4d., and there was a balance in hand of 14s. The collections at the opening services, on behalf of the Small Benefices l'utbd had amounted to £ 95 7s. 8d. Bishop's Thanks. The Bishop then rose to express his thanks to all those who had worked so harmoniously together for the success of the Congress. He referred particularly to the work of the Reception Committee and its secretaries (Rev. F. R. C. Payne and Mrs. Oliver) who had succeeded in meeting all demands upon them, and to whom a great debt was due; and to the* work of the secretary of the Subjects Committee (Rev. F. B. Macnutt) and of the Treasurer (Mr. Daniels), by whose efforts a Guarantee Fund of L2,290 'had been raised. After a very cordial refer- ence to the work of the general secretary, to whose energy, organising ability and tact they owed the smooth working of all the Congress arrangements, he announced that he had conferred upon Mr. Elliott an honorary Canonry of Peterborough in recognition of his work in connection with the Congress .and as Rural Dean of Leicester during the last two years. Thanks to Mayor, Citizens and the Press On the motion of Archdeacon Stocks a very hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the Mayor and Mayoress (Alderman, and Mrs.. Lovell) and to the citizens of Leicester for the cordial way in which they had welcomed the Congress to the city. Special mention was made of the help of the Nonconformists in respect of hospitality. The Rev. A. O. James proposed that the best thanks of the committee be given to the Press, and this was carried unani- mously, the Bishop remarking that no Congress had been more ably 'ta-nd more sympathetically reported. NEWCASTLE. IN order to, stimulate a practical in- terest in Christian service, Canon New- som and the Rev. Alfred Lee, minister of St. James' Congregational Church, New- castle (where once the famous Dr. Jowett laboured), addressed a meeting of stu- dents at the Armstrong College last week. They were accorded a hearty welcome, find are hopeful that their addresses on the relation of young men to the Church, using this term in its fullest sense, will be productive of much fruit in the future. Temperance Effort. The Deputation organised by 'the United Temperance Council o.f the Christian Churches of Newcastle, and which recently waited upon the City -Council, was accorded a respectf ul, re- ception. The Lord Mayor promised that their Memorial, the text of which is sub- joined, should receive favourable con- sideration. "Whereasit is contemplated that the Council of the City and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne will acquire lands under the powers vested in them by recent legislation, the Newcastle Branch of the National Temperance Council of the Christian Churches (officially representing the Churches of the City and District) urges the City Council to determine, that in the event of the City Council retaining lanocr de- veloping estates or in granting a lease or selling any land already acquired by the City Council, whether under the Housing Acts! or, otherwise, a restricted covenant shall be imposed rendering it impossible for any intoxiea.ting liquors to be sold or manufactured thereon, un- less 50 per cent. of the electorate of the district shall',by vote have expressed a desire for-a. licensed house within that district." If similar memorials were submitted to all the-Municipal bodies in the United Kingdom, progress fi i the point of view of. Temperance would as- suredly be greatly accelerated. League of".Natio:ns-- A strong committee representing, all public interests .has been found locally and is now busily engaged preparing for the visit of Lord Robert Cecil, M*P., in the New Year. Needy Clergy. The public appeal for aid for the special fund created with, a view to affording needy clergy in his; diocese im- mediate help, has so far realised nearly £ 3,000.
