The Darlington, Wis, Journal Gays
editorially of a popular patent medi-
clue: "We know from experience that
Chamberlan's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy is all that is claimed
for it, as on two occasion it stopped ex-
cruciating pains and possibly saved us
from an untimely grave. We would
not rest easy over night without it in
the house." This remedy undoubted
ly saves more pain and suffering than
any other medicine in the world Every
family should keep it in the house, for
it is sure to be needed sooner or later.

TWO NOTED PREACHERS.

A correspondent of the Washington
Star, writing from Marshall, Va, says f.:
The revival in the Baptist Church, re-
Gently closed, and enc now being con-
Quoted by the Methodists, have both
been attended by remarkable success.
The amity and fellowship between these
denominations are in striking contrast
with the feeling displayed in the begin
mug OF the century, as manifested
then by the leading exponents of those
churches. The most noted eXpounders
of the gospel in northern Virginia then
were the ReVs. RosZell of the Methodist
Church and Gilmore of the Baptist.
rney were rigid and unyielding be-
lievers each in the tenets and doctrines
OF his own faith and advocates of the
church militant, and frequently in-
,ulged in sharp and vigorous person
a!lles in the pulpit and elsewhere,
which at this day would be apt to beget
an unending animosity. 4 recent rainy
day talk with Que who has lively re-
collection OF these masteriul preachers
recalled number of interesting anec
dotes which have never found their
ws, into print.
On one occasion they both had ep-
poi.Cmeats in Leesburg on the same
Sunday and, as was t5e custom in those
days, they received new members into
the church at the close of each series of
meetings Returning to their homes
after church the two congregations met
on opposite sides OF the same street.
Inv methodist divine, thinking to
deliver smarJing thrust in the hear
ing OF almost the whole OF both locks,
called across the street to the shepherd
of the Baptist fold
How Eye do, Brother Gilmore; one
of your members joined our church to-
day
;'Ah, ha, that's al right )" replied the
placid immersionist, hack-slidng Blp.

Constant themes of difference be.
tween them, upon which an opportuni-
ty to cross swords was never suffered

ion on the one side and the insutiicien-
cy of infant baptism on the other. One
communion day in the Baptist church,
Rev. Mr.. Roszell made it point to he
present, having no service at his own
church on that day. He had q seat on
one OF the front benches. Mr.. Gilmore
spread the communion table with great
care Just in front OF where the Methc
dist divine was sitting, and when all
was ready he cleared his throat and
with great soemnity said in his pow
erful and Impressive voice:
Brother Roszell, if this were ny
table | should invite you to partake;
but being my Fathers dare not"
Instead of sinking through the floor,
Mr.. Roszell calmly replied
Brother Gilmore, if this were your
table should await your invitation;
but being my Fathers shall help my
self" and, suiting the action to the
word, reached over and with great
seriousness and solemnity took the
bread and wine. without molestation,
to the intense amusement of the con
gregation.
They were both great lights in their
churches, dearly beloved by their peo-
pie and possessed of q vigorous Christ
ian fervor that made itself felt and re-
suited in great good wherever their
ministIatious were carried on.
