The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1901-05-10
A Card.

The undersigned takes this method of re
| turning acknowledgements to whom 1t may
concern for the intense interest they have
taken in his affairs. He believes in general
! that gossipers should be treated with silent
| contempt; but the time has come when, In
justice 10 himself and family, and in explain.
alton to many friends, he must in Self-defense
say: That his wife and self are not separated
| that he did not refuse to attend her funeral
| that his wife is not dead. He would refer
| those good people who busily circulated other
damaging and utterly false statements con.
| cerning his domestic arrangements to the
| marriage records Of Multnomah county for
| month of July, 1894 TO those who have made
him drunk when he was sober, and have rep
| resented him as negecting and abusing his
| family, he feels that he owes debt that life is
altogether too short to pay.
''Oh for the rarity of Christian chartyr'
In connection, the writer takes this oppor-
tunity of sincerely and heartily thanking
many true friends in Hood River who have
not been influenced by falsehoods, and who
| for many long weeks of Illness proved them
selves friends indeed. Il. II. PIUKARD.

that will set forth the positions so expressly
there Will be no chance for quibble. But first
let me ask. is the Christian Advent church

cause it is organized like the New Testament
church; its doctrine is the same, its faith is
the same, its practices are the same Is this
true. Bro. DIX? II 1t is true, then affirm the
following. and II IL Is not true you admit of it
