WHITE Swelling.


Mr.. NJ. s. Hamlin, one of the best known

from Winston. as follows: Ever since

the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling. Ny hip was drawn
out Of place. There was swelling Mt the
knee-joint, where there is u profuse run
ming, which has been there for years. OF
course this has greatly depleted my sys-

waiting. hot summer days. To me there is
no such medicine for purifying the blood

WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT, APRIL 10, 1sse.--
. The Mission.

The Mission in Zion (Episcopal)
Church, in this town, was begun on
Saturday, 7th. The object being,
as had been announced, to promote
greater interest in the things per-
tanning to the spiritual life of pro-
fessed christians and of the COM
munity generally.
An organ and seats to accommo-
date "a choir at the end of the chan
eel have been impovised for the oc-
casion; also liberal supply of mis-
sion hymnals has been distributed
in the pews, which latter for the
time being are all declared abso-
lutely free, being at all times vir-
iually so. The shortened form of
Morning and Evening Prayer for
use in Mission work, and authorized
BY recent General Convention of
the Church is used during this Mis-
sion.
At the opening service at 100 A.
NJ. Saturday, the Missioner, Rev. DR..
Henry Wilson, of st. Georges
Church, New York, indicated the
plan or spirit of the Mission, in a
very short address, giving as his
subject the words of Jesus: Peace
be unto you," and by manner and
theme as much to say: Wist we
not that must be about my Faith
er's business.
Not all of those who thus far
have attended these meetings, have
the faith of Charles Wesley to eX-
claim in ecstasy:
Saviour, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly;
or to use the climacteric eloquence
of st. Paul; Romans s C. 35, 3S,
80 VS.. Yet, to be led as it were in
the foot prints of Jesus, who came
to earth to destroy the works of the
Devil and to save that which is lost
to follow him ON the sea shore, on
the slopes of the mountains; to see
him brought face to face with the
erudite hut arrogant Pharisees, in
the temple, at the raising of Laza-
rus, at the sepulchre, in brief, to the
words and works Of the Saviour of
Mankind, it is not surprising that
those who attend these meetings,
are interested and profted, and the
number in attendance is increased
from day to day.
1t is the old, old story; the exal-
tation of women, the aspirations of
men, leading them to turn, finding
no permanent rest nor peace in all
that this world can afford to satisfy
the soul, to a complete comsumma-
ton in Infinite love-the Son of Man.
Space forbids even the bare men,
tion of many, very many pleasing
and spiritually profitable features of
these services. There is however,
one that cannot be passed over with
out notice, that is; the general re-
spouse given by the members of 9TH
er churches, in the efficient aid rem
dered in the choir and congregations
al singing, and in the hearty man
ner they have joined in the worship,
thus exhibiting to the world llv-
ing faith in Him, whose prayer is
that all his people shall be one; one
Lord, one faith and one baptism.
To the God of whom let there. now
and always, all thanks, glory and
praise be given.

VINO WAS THE WOMAN?


The Strange Adventure OF Mr.. Richard
Peters at Gettysburg.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Richard Peters, of Atlanta, was at Gettys-
burg. Besides attending the reunion there, he had
on hand another mission.
During the war Mr.. Peters WIS attached to General
George Stewards brigade of EweIls corps, and was
at Gettysburg. About three O'Clock of the afternoon
during the hardest fighting he was given an order
by General Ewell TO carry over TO General Hill. He
started off ON his mission at mad gallop AS he
crossed road, near farm house, a womans voice
hailed him
Look here, she cried, raising the Window as
she spoke. Mr.. Peters turned his head without
checking his horses speed He saw the fair face Of
beautiful woman, not fifty yards from him. Her
sleeves had slipped down, disclosing finely formed
arm. She raised an old long, single-barrclled gum
took deliberate aim at him, and without another
word fired. Mr. Peters heard the ball whistle oyer
his head and the woman's voice cry, 81 missed you
this time, but win hit you the next time sure"
Mr.. Peters says she could not have been over
twenty. The house was in range of the fire of both
armies. When he returned there was no sign oflife
about the house. He had not been there since the
attic. Yesterday he started out to look up the
house and the comeiy maiden, who is now, ifliying
no doubt, q buXom matron. He says he will not re-
turn to the south without finding her or what has
become of her. 1t is needless to say he bears no
enlnitY,
