The Church Revival.

In speaking elsewhere of the revival al

Mr.. Stayt's assistant, Mrs. NJ. F. Beavers
The WORLD is glad to be able to place
on record this endorsement of her worth
which appears in The Kansas Methodist Of
November 5:
Rev. J. A. Stayt, of Wa-Keeney, Kan,
writes that Mrs. NJ. F. Beavers is assist
ing him in a meeting At that place and
with excellent prospects before them. He
recommends her as an excellent worker,
modest and unassuming but very success
full. He also intimates that her services
could be secured by others in revival
work. Pastors desiring such help would
do well to correspond with her or Bro.
Stayt, who has known her for ten years,
and would gladly attend to the cor
respondence if she was away, and also
give information desired

TO BE DONE OYER.

Well, we are to have another bond cleo:
ton in this district to provit7e for the
building of school house. The reason
of this appears to be that, as foolish as it
actually was, and as we declared it to be
at the time, the proposition on which the
late vote was taken was for $4,000 in
bonds The state superintendent, al
though only $1,000 worth of bonds were
actually asked for, decided that the &c.,
600, being slightly in excess of 6 per cent.
of the present valuation of taxable prop
erty in this district, might make the issu-
ing of the bonds illegal technically.
A petition calling for another election
is now being circulated. We have not
seen it. It ought to call for just $1,000
in bonds. This amount would be enough
to build good school house. The
WORLD has already made this point plain.

Scoring the Sinners.

Rev.-J. A Stayt, according to WORLD
reporter, said some stalwart things in his
sermon last Sunday. We do not attempt
to quote literally any of his remarks, but
a portion of the discourse was devoted to
making plain the facts that Wa-Keeney
people had not been giving anything like
proper attention to religious matters, and
that even the church members themselves
had become so worldly that their infu-
ence, as whole, is thereby neutralized,
If not worse.
The speaker said he was aware that
this language was likely to sound harsh,
but that the time had come when the
truth ought to be told, and short turn
made in the road.
The WORLD is not one of the "great
religious daisies" which SO often issue
from printing. house. In the field Of
criticism, however, it is free lance. On
this occasion, it takes pleasure in backing
Mr.. Stayt in the free use of his cold-steel
Saxon. Let the darts of truth continue
to be hurled until every church member
will be church worker. When this
season shall have arrived, the vacant
seats in the church will be filed to over
flowing by people who are not church
members; possibly by those who will not
become church members, but who, just
the same, will wish the church the sue
cess which it so richly deserves.
Yes, Mr.. Stayt, keep the sturdy Saxon
laundering down the aisles; and, our
word for it, you will be rewarded with
full houses. People will turn out to hear
what you have to say. You will then
have them where you can do them good
to the benefit of the church; not only to
the benefit of the church, but to the whole
cOmmunityl

CYRUS, TREGo Co., KAN, Nov. %.
REPLY BY DIR. PAUL PAQUIN.
When possible, keep animals out in
cool, clear air, and in well ventilated
buildings in bad weather. Give nourish-
ing food and avoid crowding; oil the
whole surface of the body with raw lin
seed oil, and few hours later wash clean,
breaking all the scurf and scales. Take
8 pounds of tobacco, boil thoroughly,
strain it and set it aside; take pint oil OF
tar, Il pound of pure carbolic acid, 2
pounds of soft soap and dissolve in boil
ing water, add this to the tobacco decoc-
ton and add water to make Is gallons.
If this is too much for number of COWS
make half the quantity; apply with a
brush. Write again if this does not cure.
1t might be well to give u to pound of
EPSON salts to each animal.

Not to Be Disturbed.

1t is understood that the death of Vice
President Hendricks will not interfere
with the program of dinners, receptions
and other social and official observancee
and festivities at the White House du.
ring the winter. The precedents are said
to be against allowing the death of the
vice president to interfere with the hospi-
talities which the president is expected
to extend to the public, to members OF
the two houses of congress and the SUI
preme court, the army and the navy and
the diplomatic corps. The vice president
is not regarded as a member of the adj
ministration in as full degree as cabi-
net member, and his death is officially re-
garded as bereavement to the legisla-
tive rather than the executive branch of
the government.
