Why The Necessity ?

Mr.. Editor:-In your last issue /
noticed quite lengthy article calling
attention to the expected visit of the
Rev. Mr.. Andrews, who will conduct a
tent meeting in your town.
i presume his sole object is to win
souls, advance and strengthen the cause
of religion; but TO an outsider the
question might very naturally present
itself-Why the necessity?
Your town has had for years four
commodious, attractive and we'll equip
ped churches, and recently the fifth
has been added. Each of which I'M
derstand has a good membership
numerically speaking.
With all your beautiful churches and
large membership the question comes
up again-Why the necessity of i'm
porting tent and an evangelist?
VIII he introduce better brand of
religion, or show the unconverted of
Forrest City an easier road to Heaven;
or does it take man you don't know
so well to impress the truths of the
gospel: l know these are pointed
questions, and | may present them in
rude way, but believe it is time for
the churches to think about them.
1 take it that man wants every good
thing that's to be had. and if the men,
bers of your churches have good al
ticle of religion let them wear it on the
outside, rub it against the world, and
you will not have to import an advocate
to spread the gospel.
Let me illustrate. Suppose one of
your banks. declares a semi-annual
dividend OF % per cent on its working
capitol, think you it would require an
imported solicitor to sell stock? No,
much. "A word to the wise, &C.,
Now let me say do not oppose the
coming of Mr.. Andrews-let him come
If the churches do not need HIM, the
sinner may be benefited.
l have the most exalted opinion Of
religion, and the highest esteem for Z
consistent christian man or woman
and do not hesitate to say that a towr
or community without religion or i'll
| influence is the gate wide open to per
dition, and let me say TO the church
member, the eyes of the unconvertet
world is upon you, and by your incon
sistent life you either disguest him CT
quiet his conscience and he may b'
lost.
In conclusion let me say this feebl,
effort has been prompted by the best O
motives. and trust that good and no
evil will result from it. as my only de
sire has been to present the subjec
from the view point of an
OUTSIDER.

Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or "fee1 badly" begin
taking the great kidney remedy, DIR.
Kilmers Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis-
take by first doctoring your kidneys.

try.
Without a word they entered the
carriage and were driven through the
night, past the gates, where the bar
oness gave the word, aboard the ex-
press, by grace of the promptly pro-
duced passports. When the morning
broke they were well away TO Havre.

mains attached to the cob, leaving the
tip end of the germ uncovered, but

2. Hull.-This Is very thin outer
covering of the kernel. 1t consists
largely of carbohydrates, especially
fiber or cellulose, although 1t also con-
tains a small percentage of other con-
stituents.
3. Horny, Glutinous Part.-This part
lies Immediately underneath the hull.

A. Horny. Starchy Part.-This part
lies next to the horny gluten, on the
back and sides OF the kernel. For
short 1t is called "horny" starch, al
though It IL not pure starch, as II con-
tains considerable amounts of other
constituents, especially OF protein. In
an examination OF the kernel with the
unaided eye the horny, glutinous part
and tho horny, starchy part are not
readily distinguished from each other,
the line between them being somewhat
indefinite and indlstinct. Considered
both together, these two parts consti-

B. White, starchy Part.-This part
occupies the crown end OF the kernel

rounds the germ toward the tip end

material il called white starch, al
though IT IL not pure starch. In some
kernels the horny starch extends near
ly or quite to the germ (near the mid
die OF the kernel and thus separates.

starch into two parts, which we call
crown starch and tip starch.
