MT. PLEASANT.
The Y. P. .. u. has sent out neatly
printed poetical invitations to attend a
birthday social at the church December
IL, and contribute as many cents as we
are years old. No doubt they will have
very pleasant time and raise good
sum that will enable the Union to send
a good offering to japan, the Post Office
Mission, and our own State Y. P. G. U.
The leaders OF the Union realize that as
it helps the cause at large, the home
work is strengthened. Would that all
our Y. P. G. U.s.. Sunday schools and
churches appreciated that fact: then
would we prosper as never before.
NOTES.
The Mitchelville Y. p. G. U. is one of
the best, and is preparing Christmas
entertainment.-Th Kings Daughters
have been reorganized ard revived at
Waterloo. Already they are at work on
some surprises for the church.-At Mar
shalltown a lecture on Turkey attracted
considerable outside interest.
DOCTRINAL PREACHING.
In view of the practical results of such
preaching, it is strange that any of our
people have the heart to decry doctrinal
sermons. I think our minister's know
their value and testify to their revival
power. No other subjects seem to inter-
est and attract the public as the vigor-
GUS and kindly presentation of the dis
tinctive affirmation of Universalism. AS
evidence, note the recent report OF DR.
Re1ford's doctrinal sermons, which TAT
tracted congregations which filed every
portion of our Columbus church," also,
Bro. Legal's sermons created an interest
and attendance SO large that it was
necessary to bring in chairs" At Ply
mouth, Mich. twenty-four Joined the
church. The fact is, our ministers have
in their faith the real Sword of the
spirit and to preach and emphasize dis
tinct and clear-cut Universalism is to
preach practical Christianity.

A Double Row Of Japanese Buddhas
Which Cannot BE Counted.
Close to this interesting pool is the
avenue Of images, representing the
Amida Buddha. The idols vary in size,
but are similar in design. There are sew
eral hundred of them altogether, and
they sit facing n another in two long
rows. We asked the little Jap who
brought us to the place how many of
them there WERE. In an awed whisper
he replied, Nobody knows" Then he
told us how impossible it was to count
them. Each image was made unsightly
by having numbers Of little bits of paper
stuck on to it and chewed bits of PAPER
which had been spat at it. The object of
this disfiguration we failed to discover,
though our friend Hojo informed us they
were put on by the young priests, a part
Of whose novitiate it was to attempt to
count the Buddhas.
There is evidently something wrong
with these idols, for no one has evef

Care Of Tho Patient, That His sufEerings
May He Lessened.

May he Lessened.
The successful treatment of consump-
tion-and by this is meant making the
sufferer better able to bear his burden, if
not actually lifting it from his shout
ders-is largely a question Of nursing.
II the disease has already gained a foot
hold medicine in most instances is of no
avail except in postponing the evil day,
and even if it were otherwise a few
general rules would be just as essential
to insure the comfort Of the patient
while recovery is going on.
In the first place, then, we must u
derstand exactly the condition Of the
consumptive, not SO much by ascertain
ing the location and extent of his disease
as by familiarizing ourselves with his
temperament, his likes and dislikes, and,
above all, with his power Of endurance
and resistance.
If We will bear these things in mind
we may be able to do all that is possible
for the sick one-namely, to enable him
to Withstand the onslaught of the dis
ease until nature shall gain the control
ling hand. So successful is this method
Of treatment that it often results in a
complete or at least a temporary cure.
Consumption is one of the most de-
vitalizing Of diseases. Not only does it
attack the lungs, but the action of the
nervous system is sooner or later seri-
ously interfered with, the digestion i'm
paired, and the simplest form Of excite
ment renders V e the circulation of the
blood dangerous from being overactive.
We shall come nearest to striking at
the DOT of all these troubles if we direct
our energies toward limiting the fire.
quency and severity Of the cough, and in
this we have not only to follow tho add
vice of the physician, taking care that
his directions are exactly carried out,
but we must give careful attention to
nursing.
To prevent the first paroxysm of cough
ing, which is usually melted in the
morning by the exertion of rising, a
warm cup of tea or an eggnog should be
taken before the patient leaves the bed.
A glass of something warm, like hot
milk OF Cruel, should also be taken be-
fore retiring, and plenty of time should
be allowed in preparing for the bed.
The patient should sleep in blankets,
and a glass of warm drink should be
placed within reach in case he should
wake through the night.
If the presence of food in the stomach
causes the temperance of the cough
after meals, some suitable preparation
Of pepsin should be used to hasten the
digestion, and an hour or two's rest
should be taken Immediately after the
meal.-Youth's Companion.

Saved His Whisky.

A Greek fisherman recently decided
to branch out a little in a business way,
80 opened a small saloon on the water
front. He bought a barrel Of whisky
from a local dealer, paying 10 per cent
down, and agreed to pay the balance
when the whisky was delivered. He
failed to keep his agreement, and the
dealer commenced planning some way
to get his whisky or the money. Every
time he called on the fisherman he saw
the barrel lying in the saloon, and he
wanted it.
Finally the dealer commenced suit
and attached the liquor. The saloon
man pleaded poverty, hard times and
everything else, but his creditor was OBJ
durate. An agreement was reached aft
er much parleying that the dealer should
take the whisky back, keep the 10 per
cent that had been paid and give the
saloon keeper a receipt in full and dis
miss the suit.
The saloon keeper shed tears as he saw
the barrel Of whisky carted off and de-
clared he was a ruined man, but he did
not close his saloon. The shrewd dealer
found that the whisky had been drawn
from the barrel and water substituted.
De is still wondering how he can get
his whisky or the money for it when his
receipt is standing against his claim

1000 Miles With q Wheelbarrow.

In 1878 Lyman Potter of New York
state performed the prodigious task of
pushing a common paddy wheelbar-
row across the continent. He started
from his home on Dane street, Albany,
on the morning Of April 10, 1878, and
arrived in San Francisco ON the after
noon Of Oct. 5 of the same year, being
almost exactly 178 days Give hours and
three minutes over) in performing the
wearisome feat. Potter was a shoe
maker, and the trip was the result Of a
wager made by some friends who be-
Geved that such a trip would occupy at
least 200 days. The wager was 81, 900,
but Potter made between three and five
times that sum advertising for different
parties along the route. The wheelbar-
row was made specially for the use to
which it was put and weighed but rs
pounds. The distance travelled by Pot
ter was exactly 4,0S5A miles. st.

Irish wit and repartee were only to be

but I came away from Ireland with a
very different idea.
II was stopping at a little country
