draining valuable mines OF water. Many
Mexican MINIS, rich In ores beyond coinpu-
,ation, are drowned out for want of proper
means of keeping down the water. The com.
mon method employed by the natives to

primitive description, and will have 10 be

from England, Germany and France, who
are also striving for he trade of Mexico.

left out of nearly two thousand. / am
thoroughly convinced now that the Sun
Do Move but | am inclined to think that
my congregation move faster than the sun.
Anyhow, the whole flock OF sheep have
gone, and the sun am still shinin'. Whai
would you advise me to do? Some want
me TO give up my theory and take back tie
fourteen members. That | will not do, and
il worse comes to worse | will give UP the
church and hold that the Sun Do Move

or t. any one about my church or members.
