seek to escape, and from
which he has promised to
deliver us. But sickness,
pain. and death are things
appointed to us by him,
fixed in our lot and exper.
ience by the laws which he
has established. He has
not taught us that they
ought not to be, has not
taught us to fear them, to
deprecate them, or to regard
them in any other light
than a needful discipline
in the unfolding of spiritual
life. Jesus taught his dis
ciples, fear not them that
kill and after that have no
more than they can do"
When those who claim to
be his followers are turned
to regard the cure of head
aches and backaches as the
highest revelation of divine
power, or the things after
which they should seek,
all the spiritual meaning
of Jesus teaching aud Gods
providence will be lost,
All experience has taught
that there is a wide field
Of fanaticism open to us by

The New Road Law.
The Prince Bill Discussed by
President Miller, of
Hendrix College,

Gazette.
So many inquiries have
been made concerning the
advantages of the new road
law, known as the prince
Bill" that | deem it expedient
to outline briefly its pro,
visions and what may reason
ably be expected under its
operation.
l. 1t is strictly a county
option law, and becomes eff.
fective in any county only
when the county court so
orders; and the power to
levy a road tax inheres in
the justices of the peace.
Consequently the people, by
Indicating their desires to
the court may have the ben
lift of the law. If only one
county adopts it, its value
NAV be tested.
2. 1t cannot increase taxes
because the tax levied is
simply q part of the 5'mill
tax (the constitution fixes
the limit. If S mills are
required for current expen-
ses and one mill is used for
roads, the issue of scrip will
be in excess Of income and
it will depreciate unless its
value is sustained by the bet
ter management and improv-
ed condition of county 6nan,
ces. The road tax must be
collected in lawful currency;
heace if scrip is below par
the man who buys scrip at a
discount will lose the dis
count on the road tax. This
however, will be only a few
certs for the averaged tax
payer,

county; hence it may be
possible to secure thoroughly
efficient overseers. AS they
will receive 81 SO per day
while at work, are under
bond and cannot receive pay
unless their work is approved
they must do good work.
Unskilled and Irresponsible
oversight is largely the cause
of our present and abomi-
nable roads.
4. Roads must be laid out
with reference to county
seats principal commercial
towns and populous settle
ments. Each district must
have one central main road
which must be worked first,
thus securing a good road
for the largest number and
greatest travel. Seconary
roads will be worked as fast
as possible after the main
roads. One twelfth of the
men Of a country on a road
10 or II miles long would
put it in good order the first
year. ...
5. The court must supply
each district with a scraper,
plow, pick, spades, ak, ect.,
and buy or hire a team.
The tools for a district would
cost about SIS 90, With
only II districts the cost
would be small for the whole
country, and as the tools
would be used constantly
for several months, there
would be little dead capital
invested. The lack Of tools
has made road work hereto
fore very inefficient. The
cost of tools for each OF u
hundred districts has pre-
vented their purchase,

believed every word of it,
and the preacher was so
troubled about the influence
of the paper upon his con-
gregation that he had to
preach a sermon about it.
Now, we suggest that the
Mormons, the Catholics, the
Christian Scientists all have
far more cases of divine
healing to report than our
Methodist preachers, and
the cases are as well au.
thentlcated, so far as hu.
man testimony goes. If we
are not to admit these as
true examples of divine
healing, on what ground
can we admit any other
reports that come to us?
If they are false claims, by
what evidence given to the
public through the papers
can we establish reports
even from our own people
as true? If the common re-
ports Of the papers are
false, then we are not will.
ling to open these columns
to such reports. If they are
true, then it is to the Nor
mons, the Catholics, and
Christian Scientists our
people must turn for the
true light. Anyway, the
Methodist Church is doing
so little upon this line that
she ought to be ashamed
to make any report until she
can make a better showing
as against these compet-
itors.
Meantime we will say
that as a child in trouble
comes to its parents. so
every one that is born Of
God turns to Him with pray
er in his needs. And there
is not in all the land a
Christian home or a christ
ian heart in which is not
cherished the thought that
God has answered prayer
and given what was needful
and what was best. For
grace he has taught us to
pray, for patience, for pur-
ity, for love, for qualification
to do every duty set before
US, and toall such prayer,
offered in seicerity and
faith, his promises are yea

they will preform really
valuable service, This be-
ing true, three days, instead
of five, will usually be suf-
ficient.
7. A commissioner, at
! $500 a day for a few weeks,
lays off roads, makes and
submits estimates, aud .ap-
proves oyerseers' work. thus
securing the best results at
moderate cost.
s All property, in city or
county, owned by private
citizens and corporations and
by non-resdents, as we'll as
residents, pays its share of
road Improvement, Thep
all men between eighteen and
forty-6ye, the taxpayer as
well as the man without
property (who otherwise
contributes nothing to the
support Of the governmcnt)
contribute labor at such
times and in such a way that
it does not interfere with
their own business.
9 County convicts will be
profitably employed.
10 AS contracts with
overseers and for tools and
materials must not exceed
the estimated tax receipts,
no debt can be incurred, and
as all work must be ap-
proved and overSeers are.
under bond, money must be
judiciously expended.
II If the county revenue
from a S mill tax is $4,000,
l mill for road purposes
would yield $4,000. Allow.
ing $500 for tools for each
district. the total cost would
be $4,000. The commits.
sioner would not cost oyer
$4,000 the first year, and
much less thereafter. This
would leave 81, 500 for over
seers and teams, AT $3.50
a day for overseers and
teams, fifty days of faithful
oversight and use of q team
would be secured in each
district. If there were ESQ
men subject to road duty
in each district, and each
man only worked three
days, the overseer would
have his gang of twelve
men at work every day,
and then have men to spare
for extra service.
y. BY this plan the time
usually given to road work
(play would be a better name
tor iO would be reduced
one'half, but by the use of
tools and intelligent over
sight, each mans efficiency
would be many times multi

ductive powers Increased,

Divine Healing.
J.E. Cooley, in Ark. Methodist.

tious reasons. regarding our
obligations as editor of a
Methodist Church paper.
We give reasons: There
come to us, through our
exchanges. religious and
secular, very many reports
of divine healing. We have
given them attent tion-have
pOndered them well.
First and foremost, ac-
cordlng to press reports,
is Swinefurt among those
who claim divine gifts;
next after him is Sehlatter.
Many cases are reported OF
their miraculous cures;
crowds have gone after
them. Yet, Notwithstanding
the certified statements of
their wonderful works,
the common judgment of
Christian people is that
Swinefurt is a villain and
Schlatler a fraud.
If we consider the claims
of various churches and
religious societies to dis.
pense divine healing, we
must give the first place
to the Mormons. The Lat
ter Day Saints hold the
doctriue Of amounting and
the imposition of the hands
of the elders for the heal
ing of disease among their
fundamental tenets. We
have lived in a Mormon
com munity and have read,
in Mormon papers, of many
wonderful cures so wrought.
But these wonderful things
appeared only to Mormons,
and in the eyes of their
Gentle neighbors seemed
only a sham.
Next after the Mormons
the Catholics report most
cases of divine healing,
wrought, chiefly, by relics.
and at the shrines of saints.
Not long ago we ventured,
in an editorial squib, to say
that: 1T seems all the
Catholic saints have been
dead a long time" A Cath
olic exchange answered;
But the Methodist church
still has a few alive and
kicking, who make loud pro-
fessions Of sanctity.' We
were in a little doubt as to
who came off best in this
exchange Of editorial shot.
But, although certified by
priests and bishops we do
not believe these stories of
divine healing which appear
in our Catholic exchanges,
After the Catholics come
the Christian Scientists,
who have undertaken to
abolish pain and death,
-Four years ago a Christian
Scienc paper, giving a mi
mute account of the bringing
to life Of a dead cat by a
Christian Scientist, was
circulated among the mem
bers of a church in the dis.
trict Of which we had
charge. s 0 m G Methodist
