"A representative Of the INTERIOR
JOURNAL made the rounds Of the various
churches on Sunday morning to ascertain
the size Of the Sunday School work, in
point Of numbers. The first visited was
the Presbyterian, which opened promptly
at $3.50, and at that hour there we're pres
eut 76 scholars and teachers. The Chris-
tian School had not opened at $50, but
shortly af,erward the singing commenced
A full and fair count only gave them SO
The Baptist opened at 9:55, and they had
al scholars aud teacher. The Methodist
opened at $50, and at 10 had 80, all told.
This is indeed, bad showing, even
though the day was not ss favorable ss il
might have been. There is plenty Of ma

the schools, and Il parents would do their
duty by not only requiring their children
to attend, but attending themselves, that

Mrs. Baldwin, who will be remem-
bered here in connection with the Pink
Cottage Faith Cure, is, according to the
Louisville Post, doing such a lively bust
ness in the healing Of the sick in that city
that she has been forced to move to a
larger and more convenient house to &C.
commodate her patrons. Speaking Of this
good lady reminds us Of story that the
Rev. V. f. Kirtlsy tells on her. When
she left here she went TO Barren county,
and there attempted to establish a branch
Of the Pink Cottage. Everything went on
swimmingly for time, and many hysteri-
cal old women with imaginary ills &C
knOSledged themselves cured. But it
came TO pass that the beloved sister herself
fell sick one day, and she imagined she was
nigh unto death. II was too severe a case
for prayer and faith, so she sent in post
haste for a couple Of the best physicians in
Glasgow, who, with the usual remedies Of
their profession, soon had her on her pegs
again. But the little episode killed the
incipient Faith Cure, for people did not
want anything to do with a person who
preached one thing and practiced another,
and Mrs. Baldwin had 10 seek other and
greener fields for her labors. Those fields
seem TO have been found in Louisville, and
the papers Of that city are warned not to
reproduce this story. Rev. Kirtley and we
