TIE GOSPEL WASN'T FREE,
hut, In So Deciding, "a Judges Language
Arouses a Camp Meeting Society.

BIRDsBoRo, Pa, Jan. 14.-Religious circles
in this part Of Berks county are greatly stirred
up over the language used by Judge Ermen-
trout lately In deciding a peculiar case in
the Court Of Common Pleas. The case arose
last summer from the persistence ofthe Joanna
Heights Camp Meeting Society in charging an
admission free to its grounds during camp
meeting services on Sundays as well rs week
days. The fee was five cents. The Philadel-
phia Sabbath Association held that the collec-
ton Of the fee on Sunday was a violation OF the
State law Of 1894, defining worldly employ
ment" on Sundays, and the association had
William Weidner. the camp meeting door,
keeper, arrested. Justice of the Peace Kerst
fined him 81 and costs. and the Camp Meeting
Society appealed the case. Tho defence OF the
society soc was that the lIve cents admissi9p fee
the neighborhood away from the camp meeting
services 81 s and that it was simply a usual
mo case that has been brought to our atten-
ttEon:n sa II: Judge Ermentrout YESTERDAY. IN q Dc,
c courruf ory 0 ndmission nA PRICE as ss0 the tt1sfs usual II
means of grace or act Of necessity or charity.
The GRACE is free and this subscription yolqn-
tary. When the aywnrd sinner Is forbidden
entrance to the church unless he hands over
his nickel to the doorkceper, the church so de-
worldly business is concerned, than would be
the circusmnn. with his one price OF admission
or the peddler with bis busy booth.
I'm the present case the evidence on both
sides, conclusively proves that the defendant
wasthe representative Of stock company, with
the pastor as principal stockholderan Sharer
in the dividends. Fence witt, boards eight feet
high and with barbed wire enclosed the grounds
within which services were held. 1t was not
purely the case Of q religious body inviting the
sinner in from the broad highways to bear the
gospel without money and without price. Its
doors were closed In the face OF the p%enitent
seeker after truth unless he came with five
cents as the open sesame in his hands. This
foe was eXacted. according to the statement OF
q witness, from man. woman, and child. alike.
There was not even the usual half price Tor
children in arms, The pass, system was abol-
ished; and no checks were given to those who
were luckless enough to leave before the ser
vices and might wish to return.
Tho sole defence for such enforced price OF
admission is that it kept out the hayward and
disorderly young men, who would rather stay
out than pay, and this prevented disturbances
Of tho peace. But the maynard, youth are often
the very class that church and camp meeting
services are designed to reach, and who Of all
others need to be gathered into the fold. The
exceptions arc dismissed and the proceedings
confirmed"
The language OF Judge Ermentrout has made
the managers, OF the Joanna Heights Camp
Meeting Society very indignant. They declare
that they will appeal to the Supreme Court.

This process of developing man

come in contact with a really live

ed by good or great sentiments.
which are the souls of great or good
ideas, these sentiments will be sure
to form the basis of positive intellec-

But let them once lose their love
for their occupation in life, and they
will find that labor will degenerate
into drudgery, and drudgery will
weaken the power to labor.

A Pleasure Shared by women
Only.

Malherbe, the gifted French auth
or, declares that of all things man
possesses, women alone takes pleas
uee in being possessed. This seems
generally true of the sweeter sex.
Like the ivy plant, she longs for an
object to cling to and love-to look
to for protection. This being her
prerogative, ought she not to be told
that DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is the physical salvation of her
sex ? 1t banishes those distressing
maledies that make her life a bur-
den, curing all painful Irregularities,
uterine disorders, inflammation and
liberation, prolapsus and kindred
weakness. AS nervine, it cures
nervous exhaustion, prostration, de-
bility, relieves mental anxiety and
hypochondria, and promotes refresh
ing sleep.

One mistake made with selling
fowls is in growing them to IL large
size before selling. The best weight
are from three to four pounds each.
The demand is greater ior such
weights, us many buyers have found
the largersize more expensive. Com
mission merchants report that while
there is, of course demand for
choice, large fowls, yet the smaller
ones sell more readily.

A Question of Health.
WHAT BAKING PowDEs SHALL We
USE ?

This plain question comes home
to every housekeeper. We all desire
pure wholesome food, and this can
not be had with the use of impure
or poisonous baking powder. There
can be no longer Il question that all
the cheaper, lower grades of baking
powders contain either alum, lime
or phosphate acid. AS loath as we
may be to admit so much against
what may have been some of our
household gods, there can be no
gninsaying the unanimous testimo-
ny of the official chemist. Indeed
analysts seem to find no baking
powder entirely free from some one
Of these Objectionable ingredients ex-
cept the Royal, and that they report
as chemically pure. We find some
Of the baking powders advertised as
pure, to contain, under the tests of
Prof, ssors Chandler, Habirshaw
and others, nearly twelve per cent.
of lime, while others are made from
alum with cream of tarter. This, we
presume, accounts for their lack of
of levening power as sometimes COM
planned of by the cook, and for the
bitter taste found in the biscuits so
frequently complained of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiority of
the work done by these powders,
the physicians assure us that lime
and alum taken into the system in
such quantities as this are injurious.
Their physiological effects are indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder
makers use these THUGS? Alum is
three cents a pound lime still cheap
er, while cream of tarter costs thirty
five or forty. The reason for the
chemical purity of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder were recently given in
the New York Times is an interest
ing description of a new method for
refining argols, or crude cream of
tarter. 1t seems that it is only under
this process that cream of tarter can
be freed from the lime natural to It
and render chemically pure; that
the patents and plant for this cost
the Royal Baking Powder Company
about half million dollars, and
that they maintain exclusive con-
troll of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief
chemist of the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, D. c., made
an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results attained
in the refined cream of tarter. The
following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question
repeated at the head of this artible,
and which is SO frequently prepoun-
ded by the housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream Of
tarter used by the Royal Baking
Powder Company in the manufac-
ture of their baking powder, and
find it to he perfectly pure and free
from line in any form. The chemical
tests to which | have submitted the
Royal Baking Powder prove it per-
fectly healthful and free from every
deleterious substance. The Royal
Baking Powder is pure in quality
and highest in strength of any bak-
ing powder of which | have know
ledge"
