FROM MARSHALL COUNTY.
The Grand Jury Surrenders.
CAMERON, W. Va.

oAMEhON3 W. "A.
ED. FREEMAN: We are in a fierce
conflict with the rum power in our
town and county, and are deter
mined to enforce the law. Our Of
fcials are timid, and whilst they
claim to be doing all they can, the
outlaws seem to have things pretty
much their own way. AT the last
sitting of the Grand Jury, which
was in session two days, there were
nearly one hundred witnesses ex-
amined, and but few indictments
found, from the fact that after the
organization Of the Grand Jury a
resolution was passed not to find
"true bills" when the witness testi-
ged that the purchase was made for
medical purposes. Of course all, or
nearly all were willing to testify
that they drank for "health."
Now, what [ want to say is this:
We want to have a grand Temper
ance mass meeting and rally in de-
Tense of Home and Native Land,
and pass resolutions cOndemnlng
the action Of the Grand Juries and
Courts, for dealing with law break
ers in such a compromising man
ner, and we want some good speak
er to address the meeting, which
we hope to have on Nov. 10th.
Please let US know by return
mail if you can send US speaker.
Yours, &C.,
V. L. MCCUsKEY.
NOTE. We wish our Cameron
friends abundant success in their
efforts to suppress this their great
est enemy. We haven't learned

serviees at the Bethel union Cnurcl.

Services at the Bethel Union Church.
The Sunday services at this church
were conducted morning and evening by
the paster, Rev. E. G. Oggel. In the
morning the text was / Corinthians 2 10,
''For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God" The pastor
said: One of the gifts with which man
has been endowed is intelligence. The
strength of his understanding is apparent
and constantly manifesting itself in his
industry; in his genius and inventive
skill; in his faculties of discovery, re-
vealing itself in various and wonderful
forms and shapes; in finding out the
laws of power and heat, of light, and
motion, and in utilizing what is thus
brought to light for the happiness of
mankind. This age is especially one of
improvements, and not least in the dis
play of intricate and wonderful ma
chinery. The railway has SPAWNED the
mighty river, cut through the forest and
levelled the mountain. The stage coach
has given away to the fast mail train,
the palace car and the telegraph, and the
future has probably still greater things
things that can seen and handled. Now,
if the human mind is capable of pro-
ducing such results, what must be the
capacity of the Divine mind? Only think
of the distance between the creature and
the Creator-between a finite mind and
the boundless intellect of the infinite
God. There are things that unassisted
reason can comprehend, and other
things that battle its highest efforts.
Man can understand what the eye can
see and the ear can hear. But the
brightest human intellect that ever was
could not find out God. 1t is ''the
Spirit who searcheth all thing, even the
deep things OF God" When Simonides,
heather poet, was asked by Hero,
King of Syracuse, "What is God ?" he
desired two days to think upon it, then
two more and then four before he would
give an answer. The King expressed
surprise at his behavior, and asked him
what he meant. The poet answered:
'"The more 1 think of God, the more
dark and unknown He is to me-" But
the Spirit searches the depths of the
Divine existence and follows the wonder
full and infinite course of the Divine
thinking and purposes and love. And
He has revealed to us that God is not
like Mont Blanc, cold and forbidding,
but father and friend. We are taught
our dependence on the Holy Spirit in
spiritual things. He also searches u.s.
Are our hearts and lives right before
God? Do we fear God and work right
eousness?
AT the evening service the congrega-
ton sang gospel hymns, and the pastor
extended the gospel invitation to all
present, preaching from the words, ''Ho,
every one that thirsteth, come We to the
waters, and he that hath no money,
come We, buy and eat; yea, come and
buy without money and without price. {"
In addition to the usual notices, a
meeting of the trustees of the church was
called to be held at Up. m. next Wednes-
day at the Office of Hon. H. NJ Whitney
