The Epwurth Learue

The state officials of this organiza-
ton were in Ocala on the llth lust
and 1T was an occasion for rally Of
the leaguers. Ii was a preleminary
meeting, prepare tory to the state con
venfion soon to meet i'm Orlando. The
first speeker was Rev. r. IL. ssaTuett.
OF Leesburg. He believed that the
mission of the league was to inaugu-
rate a system of greater piety among
the younger people. Rev. f.. F. Ley,
state secretary, believed that the
league would make its mem bers more
familiar with the history of the great
Methodist organization. The founder
of the Methodist church, Rev. John
Wesley was born at Epworth, Eng,
and the league is named to perpetuate
the memory of his birth place. Miss
Rosa Il Harris, state treasurer, read
an instructive paper on "How to
Raise Money" 1t was we'll received.
The chief speaker of the evening was
the Rev. u. F. Carpenter, OF Orlando,
He spoke on the great aims and pur-
and at times eloquent. He said the
league was working great revolution
among the young people IN that it
gave them greater confidence in them
selves. He said that since its organi-
zatiOn he knew some young people
who could conduct service better
not in Florida but in the great state Of
Missouri, said the preacher somewhat
sententiOnsIy. The appropriateness OF
this hit was not exactly understood as
the league under the management of
the young people Is making a very
creditable showing in Florida. Accord
ing to the "wrlte up" given this meet
ing by the Ocala correspondent of the
Times Union. Mr.. Carpenter in the
course of his remarks got offa good Joke
on the popular superintendent of the
Methodist. Sunday school Of our city.
Lamenting the fact Of the unfamiliar
ity of so many of the members of the
church and league with the Scriptures,
he suddenly asked how many of the
congregation had read the book Of
Hezekiah. "Ail who have read it
hold up your hands," said the preach
err. Among Others, Bro. Little held
up his hand. The point of the joke
is that there is no such book in the
Bible. The Times-Union c0rrespon-
dent adds that Mr.. Little left town
early the next morning but Mr.. Little
was hooked to leave any how.

Mr.. j. b Anderson asked to be

Give succor to those who need it.

Mr.. Ward l.. Smith, of Fredericks-
town, Mo-, was troubled with chronic
diarrhoea for over thirty years. He
had become fully satisfied that it was
only question of short time until
he would have to give up. He had
been treated by some of the best ply
siciaus in Europe and America but got
no permanent relief. One day he
picked up newspaper and chanced
to read an advertisement Of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. He got a bottle of it, the
first dose helped him and its contin-
ued use cured him. For sale by Anti

Mr.. Agnew Turned Out Of the Church.

Il
When Mr.. Il. w. Agnew was rich
ana prosperous, bank president, a
merchant prince, money lender and
mortgage holder. he was received into
the church with open, out-stretched
arms and unrestrained delight.
But he has fallen His riches have
flown. Troubles, thick and fast, have
come upon him. He has been degra-
ded and convictei-many think
wrongfully and In testimony OF which
many hundreds have signed a petit
tion asking for his pardon and many
beautiful letters have been written in
his behalf by some of the most dis
| tinguished men in the state.
But despite which. and the plead
lngs of devoted and loyal wife, and
the tears of atfectiOnate and loving
| daughters, he was turned out of the
church last Sunday and driven from
It's portals-we understand only four
voting for his retention, the wife and
daughters already named, and one
good Samaritan woman.
Is this treatment in harmony with
the teachings of the Christ? When He
began His great mission did He gather
about Him the ricn and the powerful
to proclaim His doctrines? Not at
all. His first act was to draw unto
him the forsaken, the despised and
the lowly. This was His first act,
What was His last? Speaking to the
malefactor on the cross beside him,
paying the penalty of a conviction as
He himself was paying one, He said ::
To-day thou shalt be with me in par
adise!" And throughout His career,
what is the report that is handed down
to us through the ages? Did He en-
force the Judaic law and condemn
the woman to be stoned 10 death
caught in the act of adultery? No.
But He said to her, 500 and sin no
more!' And how did He rebuke her
accusers? "He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast stone at
her." When, or on what occasion, did
He turn a deaf ear to either man or
woman? To the woman whose faith
caused her to touch the hem of His
garment, He said: 'Be thou whole"
What did He say of the woman whom
He proclaimed sinner? "Her sins,
which are many, are forgivenW And
what did He say to all the world?
Though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as
WOOL" Did He utter bitter words of
condemnation against Judas who be-
trayed him or Peter who denied him
in the hour of trial and trouble? On
the contrary, speaking of Peter He
said: "Thou art Peter, and upon this
rock l will build my church, and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against
itm Did He teach that the prodigal
son should be turned from his fathers
house? No. His great mission was
to call sinners and not the righteous to
repentance.
In answer to the question, "And
who is my neighborw did he praise
priest, Levite, or Samaritan?
In this connection we would im-
press the motto of the Banner upon
those who participated in turning
this man in his great sorrow or
any man from the sanctuary of the
Great Teacher: "Do not fawn at
the feet of the man who has sud-
denly and without merit reached
the top of the hill; nor Kick the
man who is going down H."
Give succor to those who need it.

and child at St. Louis about three
years ago, while in a state of beast

uncomfortable desire to get rid Of
the partner of his "joys and sor-
rows" in order to enjoy life with a
paramour whose Irresistible charms
had capitivated and held him in

was able to employ learned and
ingenious counsel, who exhausted
every means known to the law for
three years, to keep their murder.

That he has not escaped the gal.
