A Little Furry Thec!ogically.

EDITOR CENSOR:
Please permit me to review little of the
news, som incidents of which were limited at
by your late anonymous correspondent. he
does not tell us that that certain church
member who claims to be cleansed from the
faint of Adams SIM" was while quietly wait
ing at the post office, most vigorously attack
ed by an "unbelieving sinner, who, In the
presence OF several witnesses insisted on dis
cussing the merits OF the doctrine of Christ
ian perfection. He omits to say that said
church member was forced to either retire
and leave the "unbelieving sinner" and ap-
parent victor, or join issue with him. He
omits to tell that when the ''unbelieving sin
ner," complained that church member skip
ped around so, the answer was. you have
been the aggressor in all this discussion, and
when have cornered you on one point you
have lodged to another. and l have followed
you" He omits to tell us OF said "unbeliey-
lug sinners" denial OF the inspiration and
personality of the Holy Ghost as the third
person of the Trinity, and his Office In the
inspiration of the Scriptures; and his witness
sing with the spirit of christians that they are
the said "unbelieving sinner" denied this
doctrine that man inherits sinful nature,
that Holiness without which mo man shall
see the Lord" Nor that he says: There is
no such thing as experience in becoming a
Christian; that christianity consists In a
change of purpose, and in change of do
ing, and that christian perfection is obtained
by changing our habits"
While your CORES pOnQent chose to omit the
main substance of the discussion he was
pleased to tell the public what an awful
thrust was made against said church mem
Der IN account of something supposed to have
occurred several years ago, as il that were
an argument to be used as a last resort.
wonder why he did not hurry up his ideas
and accuse said church member, there in
public, of more than once. having been re-
fused admission to membership In a neigh
boring church, instead of circulating su.h
Misrepresentation in private. cheerfully
accord him the credit of boldly asserting that
said church member has recently been en-
gagged in PROSECUTING work-trying to get
members out of the church that is said to
have refused to receive him, and denounce
the assertion as l.isleading, to say the least.
Members of all the churches here cannot see
why your correspondent should so violently
attack a society whose building stands in our
midst as monument of their former life and
activity, bus who are now unable to maintain
regular church services, their membership
being reduced by removals and death. while
some who remain are too feeble for active
church work.
Several people about Retreat have consid-
cradle curiosity to know the identity of said
correspondent. | suppose you would willing
ly tell if asked. Don't make them guess who
am. Yours truly, E. b. HYDE

PUBLIC PIE AND pap.


Political patronage reduced to an alge-
brsic formula; the practice of partisan
politics, that most inexact, unstable, in :
consistent and slippery of entities, to be
henceforth an exact science" Thus de-
clsres Senator j. J. McGillivrsy, of Black
River Falls. The temerity and patri-
otism OF the distinguished senator in
daring to walk where men and angels
have feared to tread, and his determine
ton to shear the white mans burden"
in comparison with which Kipling's
"burden" is but puuy infant, can best
be appreciated by perusal of the burn
ng words uttered by Mr.. McGillivray
last Thursday, in advocacy of his bill
for the regulation Of patronage. He
sad, In part: 81 invite your attention
to problem which no statesman has
ever tried to solve, concerning which
the journals OF the state and nation
have offered no suggestion and which
has more to do with the happiness and
contentmont Of our people than any
other question that comes up 10 poll
tics today" Senator McGillivray warns
us to look around and hear the rumb-
ling sound Of discomfort, hate, malice,
unresG, factions, bitterness and defeat"
as few, very few, Of the dire and dis
tressing ills which follow in the train
Of the present system of distributing
political patronage and from which the
senator, with unparalleled self sacrifice
would, as saviour, deliver his fellow
men,
Whilst charging that our home county
pays 40 csnts per capita in state taxes
only, but receives AZ cents in patron
age. the senator very kindly but very
truly says: "No county has been more
popular than Vernon, because of its
great men," This we can not dispute
X is truism.
With Senator j. j. McGillivrsy's
warning words still ringing in our ears
We would say in feeble emulation of
Rudyard Kipling (whom wa wish were
veil enough to say it for himself)--
Oh, Mac! Oh. Mac! be with us yet
Lest we forgetl Lest we forget"

It is stated Oh good authority that 50
per cent OF the enormous amount OF
business transacted in the country, and
for that matter in the civilized world,
ID settled by bank check or drafts; and
that not to exceed one per cent is sctu-
ally paid or settled for in coin. In pro-
portion as the world becomes civilized
and enlightened the actual use of coin
is dispensed with, and promises to pay
are accepted in its stead. Commercial
honesty of the highest order is necessi
tated and generally pervsdes in such
matters.

for its cures of these diseases, over e
large part of the civilized world. The
most tattering testimonials have been
received, giving accounts of its good
works; of the aggravating and persist
emit coughs it has cared; of severe colds
that have yielded promptly to its sooth-
ing effects, and of the dangerous attacks
of Group it has cured, often saving the
life of the child. The extensive use of
it for whooping cough has shown that
it robs that disease of all dangerous con-
sequences. Sold by A. J. johnson & Co.,
