From lone of the Sinners >

Editor True Northerner:-
Something over two years ago, | wrote
TO the Northerner concerning denom
inationalism and sectarianism among
christian people, and stirred up lively
discussion, getting my ears soundly box
ed by clerical defender of denomina-
tional ideas, and rallying to my support
number of other sinners and Rev. III.
w. Harvey i'm the idea that sectarianism
is the great weakness of christianity, and
powerful deterrent to sinners from en-
tering the christian life. My ideas have
in no wise changed since that time, but
the ''ear boxing" has prevented me from
carrying the discussion further. have
now gained courage, however, and am
going at it again, with your permission.
The churches of Paw Paw are as
starved" now as then, the pastors are as
poorly supported, and as hampered by
the conditions surrounding them. The
congregations have grown smaller if any
thing, and christianity was never at so
low ebb in Paw Paw. Evidently, with
all its "beauties," with all its varied
shades and brands of christianity, ready
made TO suit any kind of religious ideas,
denominationalism in not evangelizing
this part of the world.
No matter how good or how poor the
preaching may be, it cannot draw sin
ners i'm crowds into the churches, ordi-
narily. There is one part of religious
service, however, that properly presented
i ,.fil IN ha 90 no ha
er can get a whack at them, and that is
the church music. Now it is notorious
fact that the music in our churches
would as rule drive people out rather
than draw them in. This is not because
of lack of musical talent in the town,
but because many of our vocalists are
not interested in the churches, and those
who are, are divided among the seven
denominations, leaving very small
number for each church, SO that crippled
choirs or no choirs are the rule.
The best church singing have heard
in months was at the union young peo-
pies meeting last Sunday evening, when
double quartet of young people-all
trained vocalists, furnished the music.
They came from various societies
one church in town could furnish so
much talent A union of some of the
denominations would render such music
possible as the regular thing.
The weak and inefficient denomina-
tions in Paw Paw are very much like
the story of the bundle of fagots. If
they were bound together, they could
not be broken, but any single one pos
sesses little strength.
"In union there is strength"

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. II kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness Of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's

The Courier quotes the opinion of the
Detroit Tribune concerning the McKin-
ley administration as that of "strong
republican paper" The Courier misrep-
resents the truth in the statement, and
it cannot be ignorant of the misrepresen-
tation. The Tribune was an ardent sup
porter of Bryan and Organism in 1896,
and from that time till the present has
not been and has not claimed to be a
republican paper any more than has the
Courier itself

Economy

The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce a cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only
fair price, and is cheaper at its
