The meeting of the Baptist Association
of Virginia in this city is ~ matter of
which the people of Roanoke are espec-
tally proud. This active and energetic
Reorganization is constantly increasing..in
numbers and influence, until in the first
respect it is already second on the list of
religious bodies in the United States and
first i'll tho State OF Virginia. Beginning
here rs an Insignificant sect in point of
numbers, it has grown within the past
century to one of the most effective and
enthusiastic church organizations in the
world. It's missionaries are active ut

the voices of its ministers should be
heard all over. the land, exhorting men to

best evidence of the fidelity and persis-
tence of those who profess the Baptist
faith, and of the earnestness and zeal with
which they have es .,oused.
Americans, besides tie energy and en-
terprise for which they are noted, are in
the strictest sense of the tenn religious
people. The worship of God was part
of the daily duties of the forefathers of the
Republic. With rifle in hand they
braved the treachery of the savage foes
to pay their tribute of love and homage
to their Maker and as the dangers les
sened and prosperity attended their
efforts to clear up the wilderness and pro-
mote civilization, churches arose where
the Indians had lurked, and attendant
blessings followed ON every hand. The

lccess in reducing the island to subiec-

United States Government has endeav.
red to faithfully perform it's duties to
Spain in the conflict now being waged by

petitions or supplies for the insurgents
from being landed on the island. 1t is
true that the sympathies of the majority
of the American people are heartily with
tbs Cubans in their struggle against
Sphnisn oppression, and it is to this fact
and from no lack of effort on the part Of
strict neutrality that much substan tial
aid has been given the Cubans from this
country. Should the Spanish plan of
autonomy fail to satisfy the Cubaus, as
it now seems probable that II will, the

The suggestions of the Board of Health
as TO what course physicians should pur-
sue in case of infectious diseases, and
their quotations of the law in these and
other cases, are both proper and timely.
: No doctor in this city would wilfuily
disregard the law; but the general health
of the community has been so good for
many years past it is quite natural that
some of the legal formalities should be
temporarily lost sight of. It Is not too
late, however, to follow up the rules laid
down by the Board of Health for it's
members to Sc: a good example by rigid
ly enforcing them.

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton,
Pa, bore her thirty four years of suf-
ferlng with courage and fortitude. Her
trouble was rheumatism in the knee.
In consequence her limb had become
SO stiff that she could hardly walk. Mr.
Stamm is well to do merchant, and
has spared no pains Or expense to re-
lieve her, but with little success, until
one night when it grew so painful that
she could hardly endure it, he persua-
ded her to try Chamberlains Pain
Balm. The first application relieved
the pain, and it's continued use has re-
moved all stiffness and given her the
free use of her limb once more. If you
have friend who is troubled with
rheumatism, insist on their giving this
remedy trial. You can do them no
greater favor, as it is sure to give pro-
mpt relief, and if they are a little pa
tien it will effect cure. For sale at
