thcocracy TO the present, they have governed
the religious belief Of millions of our people
The standards adopted by the famous West
minister Assembly i'm 1913 mould the faith OF
n large part " Professionalism, and they have
been little affected 10y the theological tur-
moil Of more than two centuries.
The statistics of the Presbyterian dcnomi-
nation in all its claimed branches show II
membership Of over twcnty-six millions.
From these figures we get some conception
Of the Importance of the council which on
Tuesday closed its sessions at Edinburgh.
That conference, participated in by some OF
the most distinguished Presbyterian divines
of this country, succeeding the council held
in London two years ago, was intended to
consolidate the forces of the denomination,
and to unite them in one great army en-
listed for the war against modern skcpti-
cisn.
The census OF the presbytcrians Of the
United States shows them to number over
million, with $3.50 church cdinccs, providing
sittngs for over thrcc millions of people.
They come next to the MethodiSts and Bap-
fists in tho number of their churches. and
in the matter Of material wealth only the
McthOdists arc ahead Of them; while the
Roman Catholics. who stand third in that
order. are behind them by over eight mil
lions OF dollars.
One of the misiOrtuncs OF Presbyterian
ism has been its numerous divisions. In th"
United States there are ten Independent
/ Presbyterian organizations, with little diff
ference between them. and that not touch
/ ing essential doctrines. or late years these
/ divisions have been working much more
/ Unanimously than in the pnst, and the
council Just ended at Edinburgh will doubt
/ less tend to still further weld them together
Il Is u very rich denomination with us, as
the statistics of It's contributions for re-
hgious purposes strkingly prove. DR.
PRIME. i'm his address at Edinburgh on the
Prc-bytcrians of this country, gave tn,
total of these offerings in single year a.
over fourteen millions of dollars nearly
fifteen dollars for each communicate. We
doubt if there il any other denomination
here which could mako such n showing
hountiiu rs are the frcc-will contribution,
of the religious generally for the maintc
nance and propagation Of their doctrines.
Thus we see how vast is the field Of Pros
bytcranism, one of the sturdc-t, mos
stoadfast, most conservative, and most rc
spectacle of the sccts into which the Prot
estant world is cut up. With union and har
mony. now so well established. it will be th

Sunday in Deadwood.

On Sunday the pc ople pour into Dead
wood from the adjoining camps, and during
the day the streets have the appearance of u
national celebration. On closer inspection
you discover that the crowd is attracted by
an auctioneer, who has mounted barrel
and is crying his wares, the accumulation of
every kind Of pawned property. On the
other side the prize package man holds out
valuable inducements to gaping crowd,
who, after listening to harangue OF tif-
teen minutes, stand in awe, with disap-
pointment stamped upon their countenances
to see the fortune they might have possess
ed had they only drawn the lucky packet
he displays before them. Then the bands
send out lively music from the "free-and-
easy'h' while the merchants are busy
bantering their wares for gold dust to the
dusky miner. Everybody is on the alert,
tramping to and fro, in and out and up and
down the mountains. Then, just around
the corner from this busy throng, the un-
pretentions building occupied for church
sends forth its echoes from the three or
four score of worshippers there assembled
and many are the hardy miners who here
take the opportunity to thank God for
health and success; and all these, together
with the confusion upon the streets and
yelps from dog fights, reverberate over the
hills. When the weather is pleasant groups
of two and upwards are seen winding upon
the towering bed rocks Or climbing through
the mountain pines. To one not accustomed
to the romantic regions, such proceedings
religion, traffic, toll and pleasure going to
make up Sunday-appear absurd in the
extreme. But such is mountain life, and

arHE SURE wIrNEss.n

The nineteenth century Is the age of
novels" remarks literary historian-he
might have added with equal truth, ''and
novel impositions." Studied politeness
has been passed off on us for native refine
ment, the forms of devotion for its essence,
and speculations for science, until we look
asl1ance at every new person or thing, and
to an assertion of merit invariably exclaim,
Prove it ~ In brief, Satan has made him
self so omnipresent that we look for his
cl0ven foot everywhere even in bottle Of
medicine. Imagine lady, having COM
plexion so sallow that you would deny her
claims to the Caucasian type If her features
did not conform to it, purchasing her first
bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery.
The one dollar is paid in the very identical
manner in which Mr. Taylor might be ex-
pected to purchase lottery ticket after his
experience with "No. 104, 1G3," with this
difference, his doubt would be the result of
personal experience, while hers would be
founded on what certain practitioner
(who has been a whole year trying to correct
her refractory liver) has said concerning it.
At home, she examines the bottle half
suspiciously, taste of its contents carefully,
takes the prescribed dose more carefully,
and then proceeds to watch the result with
as much anxiety as practitioner would
count the pulse-beats of dying man. She
takes another dose, and another and shows
the bottle to her friends, telling them she
/" feels BETTER" Her skin loses its bilious
tint, her eyes regain their lustre her accus-
toned energy returns, and the fact that she
purchases another bottle is sure witness
that she had found the Golden Medical
Discovery to be reliable remedy for the
disease indicated. The lady wisely resolves
that in future her estimate of any medicine
will be based upon a personal knowledge
of its effects, and not upon what some
practitioner (who always makes long bills
rhyme with pills. may say of it. DR..
Pierce is in receipt of letters from hundreds
of the largest wholesale and retail druggists
in the United States stating that at the
present time there is greater demand for
the Golden Medical Discovery and Purga-
tive Pellets than ever before. In affec-
tions of the liver and blood they are unsur-
passed.
