Inasmuch as death, with rel ntless and untime-

down one of the best of our number, Brother
George llewey, causing the first vacancyby death
in our ranks, forcibly reminding us of the uncer.
tainty of human life, the certainty that we must
all sooner or later enter the great Unknown, and
revealing the truth which is written that tive
know not what n day may bring FORTH" therefore
ReSolced, That in this sudden dispensation of
Providence, we have vacancy in our Lodge

pertaining to the order, took deep interest.
Resolved, That while we wear the badges of
mourning as a mark OF remembrance and of out

grief, and go out in sympvthy to the family Of our

PERILOUS TIMES


This know also, in the last days, perilous times
shall come.
Men shall he lovers of themselves, selfish, bias
phemOus, dissbedient to parents. We must set
it down these times have come.
UnhOly, unthankful, false accusers, heady-mind.
ed, lover of pleasure more than God.
Let us look at II as it is. Now get mp a levep,
circles vanity fairs &c. One minister said it is
worse than common card gambling, One man
declared he took what they called q dollars
worth, handed outs i've dollar bill, and the
hypocrites took the whole. Anothor poor man
took what was called two shing's WORTH
no change handed back. We believe this is hot
the true way to worship God.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God.
Is profitable doctrine, instruction, that the man
OftiOd may be perfect. We see all nations can
come without money and price, If they Will, and
worship God.
1t is so about doctoring our bodies. Go to the
Great Physician and cleanse ourselves from all
6thiness of the Spirit and body.
We believe vanity fairs levecs, sc. are the works
of The devil.
For proof, read Revelation 18th chapter, John
says, saw the unclean spirits come out Of the
mouth of the dragon, out of the beast and false
prophet, gone forth TO the ends of the earth, to
great men and kings. John tells us they are the
spirit of the devil.
We keep this Indian medicise with root beer,
with some improvements on hand.
For rheumatism, humOrs. cleansing the blood
keep it for all mankind.
Let us live in readiness for the coming tho Lord.
This am striving for, believing it nigh at the
door, that we may have a heavenly reward.

Mr.. Editor:
Please say to the friends of Jesus that
a very precious revival of religion is now
in progress in this place. Over forty
persons have presented themselves at the
altar as seekers of religion; the church
has also been greatly quickened and
strengthened in grace and faith. This
interest began to develop at the North
cumberland camp-meeting, where few of
our people rallied, and consecrated them
selves to God and his work. Since that
time very hearty and thorough confess
sion Of back-sliding have been made and
pardon asked one of another; thus the
church prepared the way of the Lord and
sinners began to come to Christ and
have continued to do so ever since.
Meetings have been held nearly every
evening for the last two months. Help
has been procured when possible; when
not, we have relied on our own resources,
blessed of God, and have said, "We are
well able to go up and possess the goodly
land" Seven persons out Of one family
have sought the Lord. On Sunday the
9TH inst, seventeen persons were baptized
five by immersion. We request the pray
ers Of such as have faith in God. C.
