tight BINDING

speaking OF authority, he claimed
that the Baptist Church traced its
line of authority back to John the
Baptist. asked him where his
church was during the supremacy
of the Catholic Church, and he re-
piled that it had not existed as an
organic body. We were left to draw
our own conclusions as to his mean
ing; mine were that it had existed
like the NEUROLOGICAL Greek and Ro-
man Gods-in imagination only.
He requested us not to visit couple
of families living on the hillside
above him. He gave as his reason
that they were his children, and he
did not want them to imbibe our
doctrine. Bnt we chose rather to
obey the srevants of God than this
wolf in sleeps clothing, and so con-
tinued on our way. At the first
house we found the lady old enough
apparently, to be the Minister'S
grandmother, and at the other evil
dences sufficient to convience us
that they were not his children in
the flesh, and we felt that we, through
the grace of God, had as good a
right to be their spiritual advisers
as he.
Having failed to obtain either
church or school house in which
to hold meeting, we determined to
try an open air meeting in a grove
near a sawmill at Lickton, Tenn.
So having obtained permission OF
the owner of the premises, we
gave out an appointment for
the following Sunday afternoon
at 3 p. m.
On the Saturday evening before
our meeting was to come off, we de-
cided to try and find entertainment
as near as possible to our place of
meeting, but at dark we still found
ourselves unhoused for the night.
We had thought of asking well to
do gentleman by the name of Jas.
NJ. Hunter living at Croker Springs
for entertainment, but we got on the
wrong road and missed his place.
Coming to a darkey cabin on a
clearing, they directed US to the
home of a MIR. Lenier, who lived
about a quarter of mile further on.
When we got there Mr.. Lenier was
as cold as Greenland toward us, and
when asked by Elder c. if he could
entertain us for the night, made all
manner of excuses Ny companion,
thinking it our only chance of
roosting place, did some tall coax
ing, telling Mr.. Lenier that his COM
panion was not strong and was weary
from long walk, but he was still un-
inclined to take us in. Getting out Of
patience, l said came Elder, am
able to walk; let us be going. Ell
der Christensen very reluctantly
followed me in silence for some dis
lance. Perceiving that something
was wrong, l spoke to him and found
that he was angry at me for not
sticking to Mr.. l.. until he took us
in. He told me if we had to lay
out l could not blame myself for it,
said he did not know where to go as it
was several miles through broken
timbered country to the next house,
and darkness upon us.

In my weak condition, and he was
not slow to hear, for continuing a
short distance (my companion
carrying both grips), We came to
an open door with a light within.
A Approaching us, the man of the
house, in friendly tone, said
"Walk in gentlemen" and we did
not hesitate in doing SO. The
family had been to supper, but
the lady of the house soon pre-
pared us some, after eating of
which we felt much refreshed.
Having walked some distance
without dinner, I felt weary and
drowsy, and the family prevailed
upon me to lie down and rest
while Elder G. and the gentleman
of the house Ga Mr.. Blackburn)
conversed upon the principles of
the Gospel. We soon afterward
retired in a comfortable bed, and,
when called to arise and prepare
for breakfast quite early the
following morning, I was feeling
very much improved.
1t was Sunday, and having no ap-
pointment, we decided to remain
with Mr.. Blackb burn until after din
ner, by his REQUEST. The time was
spent in conversing on varions sub
jects. Toward evening we babe our
kind friends good bye, and contin-
ued on our way, stopping in the
woods to eat wild strawberries.
We had conversation with a meth
odist who seemed very much pre-
JUDGED toward Our people, and were
entertained by well to do widow
and her son by the name of Stark.
I continued to improve from day to
day, and soon the dizzy sensation,
which I had experienced from the
time I left the mountains, passed
away and / had good appetite for
my food, which, contrary to my ex-
pectation, was, as rule, of an ex-
cellent qtalty. Warm biscuit and
butter, fried ham, chicken, and
eggs, with fruit and plenty of milk
constituted our almost daily rations.

so we called on a minister of the

badly mixed as to these systems as he
is over the possibilities of enforcing the
Murray prohibitory-p police commission
law OF Kansas. Gothennberg and
Tillmanite systems are totally differ
cnt. one is regulated open saloons,

strictiOnS and in which the town or city
shares the profits. Under this policy
drunkenness in the city of Gothenn-
berg decreased - per cent. The other
system is state ontrol of sales from 4

place being abolished. The liquor I'M
der the latter system must be bought
by the measure and taken away. Tn
der the Gothennberg rule saloon drink
ing is allowed at the place Of sale but
drunkenness is a crime with big
penalty attached. The oon-keepers
OF Gothennberg are in effect salaried
officials with no interest in the profits
of the sales. They are chosen for the
sole purpose of seeing that the law is
obeyed strictly as to sales and TO pre-
vent drunkenness. The liquors are
pure and the saloons comfortable but
not gorgeous. Other refreshments are
provided and the social life c0nservat-
ed. The South Carolina scheme sim
ply conJemplates the sale OF pure
liquors in prescribed quantities by of
fieialS. and the adjustment OF the
saloon or drinking place. No Saturday
night or Sunday drinking is permitted
under the Gothennberg system. SO the
talk of Goyrnor Morrill, favaring the
Gothennberg system and opposing the
open saloon becomes anomalous and

THREE WICKED TOWNS.

Prohsbitionists have a habit OF referring
10 Atch.son, Leavenworth and Wichita
as particularly wicked because they Vlo-
late the prohibitory law; they create the
impression that in other sections OF the
state. the law is respected. As matter
of fact, however, the official records show
that more than thirteen hundred JOINTS
exist in Kansas, outside of the drug stores;
that is, more than thirteen hundred gov
eminent liquor licenses are issued IN Ran
sas outside of the drug stores. Possibly
not more than one hundred OF these are
issued to parties in AtchlSon, LeaVeSl-
worth and Wichita. SO that for every
violation of the liquor law in Atch9son,
Leavenworth and Wichita combined, there
are thirteen violations of the law in other
sections of the state. This does not take
into account violations of the liquor law
in communities where there are no joints,
but a surprising number of drug stores.
In every little town in the state, drug
stores sell beer by the bottle, TO say moth
ing of sales of whisky. In illustrating
the absurdity of the claim that the pro-
hibitory law is as Well enforced as the
law against petty larceny, Governor Nor
rill estimates that there are $500 sales OF
Eduor daily in Kansas at joints alone.
Add to this estimate Illegal sales at drug
stores, and the total is certainly 100000;
a hundred thousand violations of the Kan
sas prohibitory law every day. And
5000 of these are outside of Atchison,
Leavenworth and Wichita, The man who
says that the prohib.tory law is as well
enforced as the law against petty lar
ceny must know that he is uttering a
