REV. STEWARDS REoUEsT.-Last week
Rev. A. p. Stewart, in the columns Of this pa
per, requested any preacher to refer him ''to
the chapter and verse [of the Biblel where any
person was admitted into the kingdom of
Christ without faith, repentance and INNER
sion.' We are overrun with responses to this
challenge, and take the liberty to select from
the number and to condense them as follows:
"a Welsh Preacher quotes Luke XIII,
AZ and AZ: '.And he 1.-THE thief said unto Jesus,
Lord remember me when thou contest into thy
kingdom.
'tAnd Jesus said unto him, Verify l say I'M
to thee, to-day shalt thou he with me in par
adise."
Joseph Brown wishes Mr.. Stewart first TO
furnish scriptural evidence of where and what
the kingdom of Christ is, when he Mr..
Brown will be under obligation to show the
chapter and verse called for.
An outsider says, ''Mr. Stewart will
find the verse he asks for Immediately after
the one In the Bible in which he finds the word
immersion"
We trust that the foregoing will allay the
controversial itchings OF our friends. If it
does not, they will have to adopt other means
of sustaining a discussion than through the
columns Of this paper, as nothing further on
this subject will be recognized.

THE MOST POPULAR RELIGIOUS
WEEKLY IN THE WORLD.

The following facts and figures taken from our
Hail books prove most conclusively that The IN
DEPENDENT Is the best advertising medium IN the
country We stand ready to show our books TO amy
advertiser who doubts the accuracy OF our state
ment We are dsf0nisAed ourselves st this reVeta-
ton of our unparalleled facts and figures made IN
examination of our books. Advertisers Will also
bear in mind that THE INDEPENDENT probably cir
culates--through agents, to whom we make
large sales-in many places not mentioned IN our
Mail Books. We do not believe, for instance, that
any single newspaper in the State OF Massachusetts,
either secular religious goes into so many towns
to so many postofices in that state as does IHE
INDEPENDENT: and the same we believe, IS true OF
illinois, and also of every other Northern state In
0sher words, THE INDEPENDENT has o WIDER clrcu-
lation ia each of the Northern States than any orh-
er Journal, either local or foreign II = business
man; therefore, in Boston, chicago, or elsewhere,
wants to communicate with the public in his own
State and vicinity, THE INDEPENDENT. as VIII De
seen, is by far the best medium. Our crowded sd
vertising columns conclusiyely show that business
men in all directions already appreciate our ability
to aid them; and we not afraid TO refer indis
criminately to thousands Of such in New York and
elsewhere.
We mean it shall not he our fault if the ISDE-
PENDENT does not go 70 every post-office in the
country In other words, we mean to merit the
patronage OF all good people in every direction.
The following figures show the number of post
the several States mentioned. The first of fig
ures following the name of the State shows the
total number of post-ofices in the State named;
the second row of figures shows the total number
of post-ofhceS 10 which the INDEPENDENT is sent

Mr.. Harry Heasly, we understand, is about
to open up 4 new store east OF j. s. Gibson's
hardware store. The building erected by Mr..
Randall and now owned by Mr.. Miller, sen.,
is to be moved to that location. Mr.. Adair
has taken the job Of moving it. We wish
Harry all success in his enterprise.
While we are speaking Of business, there is
one branch that is now open, and we have
reason to believe, offers fair opportunity for
investment here. 1t is the drug business. We
don't mean that we need whisky shop. Our
citizens have made up their minds to starve
out any business of that kind. But the burn
ing of Doctor Sutton's drug store leaves a va
cancy to be filed by some one else, as the DIR.
has gone into the mill enterprise. We should
be glad to have reliable temperance man
embark in the legitimate drug trade at this
point
