act for such paltry consideration Let
us not tempt them to evil. Do l err in
intimating that the company might stoop
to such vile means for such a paltry con-
sideration? Then forgive me but let us
not tempt them.
Fellow christians, you know that God
would not approve of an undue monetary
influence against justice. Let us not be
tempted. You know that if the church
were built by such means, resulting in
such influence, that Christ would not be
in it to bless. Let us have none of it. |
know that not one of you, seeing the
matter in the light that do, would ia
vor any such entangling alliance. l be-
lieve that have had and embraced OPP
portunities better than most of you if not
better than any of you for studying and
understanding this proposition and it's
important bearings and hence have en-
deavored to fairly set it forth for your
consideration.
Fellow christians everywhere, beware
of outside capitalistic contributions for
undue influence. Beware of schemes to
sidetrack and ruin you. Help explode
them. Our association asks only Justice
and right. We realize that singly we are
none of us able or can afford to contest
in law with this company. Our cause is
common; let us make our defense COM
mon. In union there is strength. We
each bind ourselves by note to the extent
of one dollar per acre of land we own
that we will bear our share of expense
With a large majority of the people rep
resenting large majority OF the lands
with us, it would represent over 10000
as defense fund. With such fund and
united people, if we only ask what is
clearly our rights, we would be in condi-
ton to get it either with or without a
lawsuit, and most probably would not
need to have any suit, and our note fund
might nearly all be returned to us unex-
pended. We would have no need of fear
of doing the company an injustice. First
because we do not desire it. and second
because the company would be amply
able to defend its rights. Our meetings
are open to all. Come and investigate.
There is nothing wrong about it and vast
property interests are at stake.
Come, stand in and bear your part.

Weak


Are due TO indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when il was simple indiges-
ton. II is scientific fact that all cases OF
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swels the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course Of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
