A CHRISTIANS RETREAT.
international Association to Estab-
Iish One in the Mountains.

Rev. John G. Collins, secretary of
the International Christian Workers
Association, has recently secured a
charter for a company or association,
to be known as the Mountain Retreat
He has secured options on about 5000
acres of land, near Black Mountain,
about fifteen miles from Asheville,
and is pushing the preparations for
his Retreat. He intends to divide the
tract into numerous lots, on which
will be located small cottages, which
will be the homes of Christian work
ers, who need rest for few months
every year. There will also be several
large meetings arranged OF the many
Christian workers connected with the
Association.
Mr.. Collins has the backing of many
moneyed men, among them being Mr..
William HI. Wanamaker, of Philadel-
phia, brother of John Wanamaker.
Mr. Collins hopes in few years to
have retreat that will rival Asbury
Park for large religious gatherings.

Fund for Which There Is No Use.

A dispatch from Madison, Ca, says !:
1.-THE treasurer of Morgan county
does not know what disposition to
make of $50, 900 now in his possession.
In 1918 Benjamin Brassell left %, 900
in trust, the interest on which was to
go toward educating orphans. Out of
the income large number of orphans
were educated and a fine building
erected, which was destroyed during
the war. A remnant of the money
was left, however, which was kept
well invested, and now it reaches
$50, 900 and is steadily growing. The
establishment of a flrst-class public
school system has removed the use for
which the money was intended, and
as the money can be used for no other
purpose it has become an elephant on
the hands of the county officers"

Paine's celery compound is work,
ing miracles in the cure of disease!
So says a recent article by the
foremost medical essayist in Boston.
Nothing shows more conclusive,
ly," he adds, "the astonishing eapa.
bility of Paine's celery compound
than the thoughtful, open minded
class of people who use it and recon-,
mend it, both in public and among
their closest and dearest friends and
relatives. Among US (physicians)
there is no longer any hesi.ancy in
recommending this greatest remedy
without stint of praise"
About the same time the above
article was published there appeared
in the Boston Journal, the following
letter from David K. Chaser of 452
Windsor ST., Cambridgeport, a subs
urb of Boston:

Was Not Taking in Washing.

The pastor of a prominent Baptist
church in neighbOring city has a
reputation for considerable zeal in
gaining accessions to the mem oership
Of his church. Fol some time he had
been laboring in an exhaustive way
with a man who though convinced
that he ought to join some church
was undecided whether to connect
himself with the Methodist church or
the Baptist. The pastor in question
received note from the gentleman
one day saying that he had come to a
decision which was something in the
way Of a compromise; he said that he
had decided to unite with the Method
ist church but that he would like to
be immersed in the Baptist church by
him. This so eXasperated the good
doctor that he replied as follows:
II regret that / cannot accommo-
date you, but this church does not
take in washing"

against Chief Justice Snodgrass, OF
the Supreme Court for $4,000 dam

the shooting Of the former by the lat

vinity of the Bible nor the immortal
ity of the soul.
