English Lutberans Hope to Build
In the Near Future.

The prospects for a new building for
the congregation Of the First English
Evangelical church to worship in seem
to be by no means so remote as when
the question was first mooted.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the church
has undertaken an active canvass in
the interest of the building fund. and
have arranged for a series of entertain
ments the first of which will be given
next Thursday and Friday nights, on the
lawn of Mrs. w. ID. Rocks pretty subur-
ban home. at Barton Heights.
The church owns the large lot at the
corner of Seventh and Grace streets,
only part of which it occupies, and there
is already a sung sum in bank to the
credit of the building fund, which the
ladies' seem confident of swelling to
many times its present size within the
next few months.

MARVELLOUS CURES.
Two Recent Interesting Cases Re-
ported from Buffalo Lfthtia.

The letter from Buffalo Lithia Springs
which appears in another column OF the
Dispatch this morning Is calculated to
carry hope to many. The curative pro-
perties of the Buffalo Lithia Waters IN a
large class Of diseases. especially diseases
of the bladder and kidneys. and those OF
the gout and rheumatic gout groups, have
long been established. and the wonders
thew have worked in many desperate
cases are well known. But this letter
adds two cases to Buffalo records that
are indeed little short of miraculous. and
little wonder 1t is that they are attracting
n vast deal of attention from all who
have heard of them. and exciting deep
interest among the guests OF the springs.
Truly they prove where there Is life there
is hope, and emphasize the marvellous
work natures alchemy, as represented
in Buffalo Lithia Water. Is capable Of do.
