II should be apparent to every genuine be-
lever in the doctrines Of our Confession OF
Faith. that allowing DR. McGiffert. in the name
and by the authority OF the Presbyterian
Church. to preach doctrines utterly at war with
our standards. ia not only Inconsistent but also
wicked, 1t is so glaringly Inconsistent as to
give a broad basis on which TO found the
charge Of insincerity.
But the great trouble in the way OF consistent
action is Indicated by the reply Of an intelligent
elder recently, to the effect that heresy trials
are so at war with the peace of the Church as
greatly to hinder the cause Of Christ. It has
been often found that the effective method OF
assuring peace In a household is TO quiet the
disturbing member by administering a pank-
ing instead Of a lump Of refined sugar.
Think of it: We refuse to with lraw from
Or. McGifert permission TO teach In our
name while preaching doctrines DENYING the

The Arkansas Federation of Funeral
Director will petition the next general
assembly to enact laws governing the
transportation of dead bodies to con-
form with rules in effect in other states.
The rules referred to have strict pro-
visions for the proper preparation of
dead bodies. especially those of conta-
gious and infectious diseases, and re-
quire that an undertaken pass a rigid
and successful examination in embalm-
ing and sanitation before he can be
granted license by the state board of
health. At the present time there is
no law requiring an undertaken to Sc
cure license when he engages in the
business in Arkansas As conditions
exist in Arkansas just now, an under
taker or any other person, whether ne
be competent or not, can ship a dead
body. But owing to the license exist
ing in adjoining states, the remains are
liable to hold up after crossing the
Arkansas boundary line.

1t is explained that two reasons for
the slight decrease are that the nor
mails were held in the larger counties
in 1899 and in the smaller counties in

ers to be retained in their crops
