We have been told that there are too
many men in the field in Georgia, and
have been urged to have a primary.
We have been told that if we would
narrow our interests down, we might
get what we want. Do 76 votes in
this state count for naught? Do the
IL or 20 thousand dollars dollar
money yearly from these states mean
nothing?
Do the 1000 ministers and 105, 900
members mean nothing? Have these
states put man on the bench or in a
general officers chair who has not
proven himself master? Are we now
asking to promote pessimist? Taxa
ton without representation is unjust.
There is not a man in Georgia or Ala
bama who will cast his vote against
the Rev. Charles L. Bradwell's being
put on the bench. It's not Charles l..
Bradwell at this time, but it's the men
of the district who desire to have him
serve the church. If there's man in
the state who would for one moment
raise his voice against this expressed
will of the majority of the people, he
either attempts to crafty his own
petty ambition. or personal interest,
and has no general interest for the
good of these states.
A goodly number of us have played
the fool at the General Conference
long enough. If our work and the in
terest we have manifested count for
nothing, and, if we haven't the men,
we are willing to 'hands off" and
step down for the church and for the
race. r. D. STINsoN, Atlanta, Ga.

their contributions and fines all prop
erly arranged in class and church
book, and that no person not a mem
ber of the church can have their names
enrolled to reap it's benefits. Let the
Pastor and stewards be satisfied as to
the justice of each claim; let our
churches be so arranged that each class
can be private. 1 do not blame the
people for belonging to some society
to care for them when they are sick
and bury them when they are dead. I
belong to some societies, but say let
the church do this work, and if was
delegate to the next General Confer
ence 1 would frame law and try to
have it passed. This is what call
retrenchment.
NO. Anew BISHOPS.
The character, quality and ability of
this Office have been very ably dis
cussed. I think there should be
twelve districts, including our foreign
work. Elect enough men for the dis
tricts, without any view to our foreign
work, and let the appointments be
made. I do not think that a Bishop
should be elected especially for our
Mission work. think in the selection
of the men, that God should be con-
suited. 1 think, farther, that the
Bench of Bishops should be asked at
least whom they favor. This was
done years ago. do not think del,
egate should vote for a man because
he likes him, or vote against him be-
cause he dislikes him. If I had q
thousand votes I would vote for Revs.
NJ. NJ. Moore, G. L. Bradwell and L.
J. Coppins for Bishops; Prof. Haw-
kins, Secretary of Education, and Rev.
A. L. Gaines of Virginia for the editor

they may be considered.

Many bundled years ago there lVed
Mt Athens a dog whose faithfulness
has caused him to be mentioned IN
history, and in the Grecian city his
story Is often repeated.
The dog guarded one of the heather
temples at Athens. One night thief
stole into this building and carried off
some of the most valuable treasures,
The dog vainly parked his loudest to
frighten the thief and to rouse the
keepers as the man went off with the
Jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean to lose sight of the rascal, and
all through the night he followed him.
BY daybrcak the poor animal had be-
come very weary, but still he kept the
robber in sight. The latter tried to
feed him, and as he made friends with
the passersby lie took 1t from them in
stead. Whenever the thief stopped to
rest the dog remained near him, and
soon a report went through the coun-
try Of the animals strange behavior
The keepers of the temple. hearing
the story, went in search of the dog,
and they found him still at the heels
of the thief at town called CrOnyon.
The robber was arrested, taken back
to Athens and there punished. The
Judges were so pleased with the dogs
sagacity and faithfulness that they or
dered him to be fed every day for the
rest of his life at the public expense.

No sure cure is yet known
for chronic rheumatism. No
man living can cure it always.
He can try. If he fails he can
try another way.
There are many ways.
Some harmless; others worse
than the rheumatism. Better
not take the chance of quack
medicines.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil cures rheumatism only by
crowding it out by vital force.
If that succeeds, it succeeds; if
that fails, it fails. 1t never
does any harm.
Well send you a little to try if you like
