great care which the church takes of
its members were also dwelt upon. At
this point he again referred to the
Newell case.
THE devil may lead some fools to ar
rest Mrs. Boyd" he said, but the
more I investigate this case the more
firmly | am convinced that it was no
small wonder that the woman died
when we take into consideration her
gross negligence before the child was
born. 1t was, indeed, small wonder
that she died.
Referring to cases Of divine healing,
he said: This religion does not exist
in theory, but in real actualities. |
have seen cases of consumption cured; !;
l have seen the eating process of ma
lignant cancers stopped and l have
seen the diseased parts heal merely as
the result of prayer" Another thing
that the church was criticised for, he
said, was its antagonism to secret soci-
eties of all kinds These, especially
Free Masonry. he characterized as
being un- Christian and anti-Christian.
PURPOSE OF CHURCH.
THE purpose of the Christian Catho-
lie church" said he lis to keep ever
lastingly at it. Zion has in all proba
bility come into Scranton to stay.
Wherever it gains foothold there it
remains, and it seems TO thrive better
| wherever there is opposition. The pur-
pose is to extend the gospel of saliva
ton, of healing and of holy living to
every quarter Of the globe and to teach
everybody the inconsistency of going
to Christ TO heal the soul and to the
drug stores and doctors to Acure the
body"
Mrs. Boyd made "a few remarks after
Rev. Mr.. Hammond had finished. She
| said that she did not lead Mrs. Newell
into the church, the latter having be-
| come a member several months before
| she herself became one.

one dreaded disease that science has
been unable to cure i'll all its stages and
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the one positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
needs constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the surfaces of the system
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consitu-
tion and assisting nature in dong It's

faith in its curative powers, that they

that it fails to cure. Send for list OF

The Arch DestrOYer.

HE is mean, sneaking, underhand-

John Kendrick Bangs in The Woman's
Home Companion. Fire has a decent
sense of the proprieties. Moths have
none at all When fire attacks you, it
smokes and crackles and Kisses and
roars and let's you know in clarion
tones that it has come. The moth
steals upon you in the dead of night
and chews up your best trousers,
gorges himself upon your wife's furs,
tickles his palate with your SWEETEST
flannel golf shirt. munches away upon
your handsomest rug, punches holes
in your best sofa cushions with his
tusks and then silently folds his tent
and steals away without so much as a
thank you for his meal. For unmiti-
gated meanness commend me to the
moth! Alongside of the moth and his
nefarious work even a book agent
pales into insignificance and an unpaid
grocer's bill becomes an absolute pleas
ure."

A DROP IN PRICE.
The Miner Took Less Than He First
Asked For His Claim,


'These fabulous stories Won hear"
SAID a Colorado man, "of the wonder
ful discoveries made and prices receiv-
ed for claims in the mining regions
bring back to my mind a story that
used to be told in the earlier DAYS of
Colorado.
"A young chap had there located a
claim in which he had every confidence
that ore existed, but try as he would
he was unable to locate the precious
metal, and little by little he became
s1cker and sicker at heart until at
length there came a day whose closing
was marked by clean discouragement
ON his part. His last piece of bacon
was eaten, his last stick of gunpOwder
fired and his credit utterly used up.
Still he believed the ore to be there,
but he recognized the utter futility on
his part of trying further to get at it.
Lonely and out of spirits, just at sun
set he stood at the door of his cabin
looking for the last time over the
scene of his useless efforts, when down
the winding trail came a stranger
asuide of broncho. Taking in the sit
uation at a glance, the man reined in
his cayuse and called out to the lonely
figure in the cabin doorway, Say,
pardner. what will you take for that
played out claim of yours?
Hope sprang up and cleaned from
the miners eyes as he firmly replied
played out nothing. It'll take $1,000.
600 cold to buy me out
"The stranger slowly gathered up the
reins. IN give you $S.' he said ten
tatively.
All in cash? queried the late pro
spective millionaire eagerly.
Yep was the response.
