The hev. ". j. Scott, d. D., writes OF
"When John Wesley Preached In Georgia"
in the Ladies' Home journal and from
the famous preachers journal tells the
story of his persecution in Georgia, which
ultimately resulted in his quitting Amer
lea and returning to England in 1887:
During the afternoon before Wesley's
departure he was approached by the re-
corder of Savannah, who informed him
that he must not leave the province until
he had given bond in $50, and in addition
furnished bail to answer Mr. williamson
charge. Wesley responded: 4 have given
him every opportunity to make good his
accusation, but he refused to do so, and
row, sir he continued with emphasis and
firmness Il must insist that, as an official,
you have treated me and the trustees Of
the colony very Ill. l shall neither give
bond nor BAIL You know your business
and l know mine.
THE same afternoon, he adds, !

vannah, after preaching there one year and
nine months, not as 1 ought, but as [ was
able
"The show made by his enemies Of u
purpose to intercept him was a shallow
pretext and is now so regarded.
Wesley's persecution was the outcome of
his refusal to admit a woman of his con-
gregation to holy communion without
evidence of her repentance and oontrition.

A FARMERS OPINION.
This Information is w Orth More
Than the Present Value of 81
Bin Full OF Grain.

In Sullivan County, about half mile from
the village of Unity, N. H., there lives a
good, honest, hardworking tiller of the soil,
named c. f. French. Like every sensible
farmer, Mr.. French subscribes for papers,
and one evening, as he was looking over his
Claremont weekly, his eye CHANGED to catch
a reading notice which proved bonanza for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price of grain and farm produce
and the high price of commodities which are
necessary for farmers existence. A farmer
reasons in his own peculiar way, and he calls
a spade spade; so Mr.. French says quietly
to himself: 81 want just such a remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out faith
fully half what it claims it will cure my lame
back. However much good may result from
one box, little or no harm can ensue." The
next time Mr.. French visited Claremont he
made some inquiries at a drug store about
the preparation, and was informed that
scores of people in Claremont and the SUI
rounding country had thoroughly tested
Doans Kidney Pills and published their ex
perience in Claremont papers. This was
enough for Mr.. French. He purchased a
supply, and what follows is his experience.
He says: "My kidneys have troubled me
ever since left the army, but for the past
five years have been going from bad to
worse. l doctored and used various kinds
of medicines with little or no result. For
several years had constant, sharp, dart
ing pain across my back; in fact, did not
know what it was to be without it. 1t felt
as though a needle was run through me.

"and, as for the cowboys, you II have tc

AT this point the sheriff called back
to ask Baldwin if he was coming.

to the door This is the last call, " he
said, passing for a moment on the
threshold
