An Explanatory Sermon.

Elder J. S. Myers, pastor of the
Christian church, preached sermon
last night, in which he sought to ex.
plain why the members of his demon.
nation should he called Christians in.
stead of "Campbellites." He asserted
that Mr.. Alexander Campbell had
nothing, whatever. to do with found
ing that particular church. None OF
his books are taught in any of the
churches, educational institutions, and
no one recognizes him As the founder
of that denomination. Christ is the
founder and the New Testament is
the sole authority and creed Of the
Christians.
Mr.. Myers reiterated his statement
that the person who designates bis
people as ''Campbellites" does it either
through derision or ''gross ignorance,
and ignorance" said he, sometimes
amounts to positive meanness."
The elder enjoined the members of
his church to resent being called
''Campbellites."
There was an unusually large con-
gregation. and the singing by Miss
Helen Gallie and Mrs. Charles Green
was delightful.

A Wise Young Woman.

Young Adolphus Fitzwilliams, he loved a
fair maid,
But to ask her to marry him he was afraid,
Because of catarrh, which she had very bad ;
so much SO that often the youth was quite
To omit, at the parting, the kiss of the
lover.
The reason of this she set out to discover.
"Ca,arrh makes me loathsome. Its fatal
to love.
q, darling Adolphus, by all that's above,
vow I'll not lose thecif something there Is
To drive out catarrh and sweeten a kiss"
So this wise young woman began
searching for cure, and good luck
attended her. She found DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, at the drug store,
and felt convinced that preparation
which the proprietors had such conf
dence in that they were willing to
offer to pay $500 for case they can
not cure, must be worth trying. She
bought it. She. tried it. 1t cured her.
And when Adolphus kissed her at the
altar last week, her kiss was as sweet
and pure As roses in June.
Girls, a word of advice: If you
want a lover to stay lover, you must
get rid of catarrh. DO as this sensible
girl did, and gel the only sure cure
for this disgusting and dangerous dis
ease-Dr. Sage'- Catarrh Remedy.

are. We can not speak from exper-

a valentine. And we never sent but
one. 1t cost two for a nickle. The

another. Sometimes valentines are
letters. Then it il different. We would
like to receive several. Especially
from delinquent subscribers. They
would be most welcome. Old Valen-
