WORD FROM A MINNESOTA FRIEND.
Brainerd, Mimi, August "a, 1908.
Rev F. A. Holden and members of the
Huntington church, Conn.,, Dear
Friends of the Old Parish of Precious
Memories
From the north border land of our
common country and Of our expanding
civilization, I send you all a warm
christian greeting on this your Old
Home Week Sunday.
We are very glad out here to welcome
corners from the cradle of American
christianity in New England, but at
the same time we are rejoiced to know
that all have not come away. 1t is i'm
portant to keep building new outposts
as our civilization expands, but it
would be a calamity to have the old
garrisons' forsaken. We even hope
that, as reaction from excessive en-
misgration, a back wave may set in or
is setting in, which will restore to the
East much that it has yielded to the
West in the generation past. We
read in inspired prophecy something
about 'buildine up the old waste
Places" and we trust that this will
have it's fulillment not only among
the hills of Judea,s but also among the
hills of New England and the east
generally. And why should it not be
so? The entire land is soon going to
be needed to provide homes for our
swelling population, and besides where
is there prettier scenery. Or such prec-
ious associations, or social and educa.
tional advantages as in the parts first
trod by the Pilgrims and their imme.

More than % years have passed since
my relationship with this venerable
church was severed; but the more than
six years which preceded this period
were among the pleasantest Of my life
Friendships were formed, experiences
shared, and associations deepened,
which time has served to hallow.
In your parsonage children were
born, severe sickness was experienced
by some of the household, but by the
skillful watch and care OF "beloved
physician, a native of this community,
whose goodly ancestry and kin are as
household words, and under the good
providence of God, health was again
restored. What also might have
proved most serious conflagration of
the parsonage, through the perfidy of
a domestic, was only prevented by its
timely discovery.
Those, too, were days when the an
nual donation visit left huge wood
pile at the parsonage door, as also
meats, vegetables and fruit in album
dance, to say nothing of various other
items, among which was cash, or its
equivalent. In this ancient church,
too, in connection with the labors Of
the pastor from 1875 to 1881, nearly SO
were received into it's membership;
over 40 funerals attended; and 81 mar
riages ratified. The winter of 1877 was
especially marked by the presence of
the Holy Spirit, in his convicting and
converting power; and while Of those
times, and that number, many have
entered upon the felicity of the eter-
nal "home week." concerning others
who ''remain unto this day." it can be
said, "this aud that one was spiritually

Minneapolis, Mimi.
August 26, 1908.
To the::Old Home Friends: 1 was
pleased to receive an invitation to be
present at the Old Home services to
be held in the Huntington church, and
would gladly comply with the further
invitation toassist in'the services, were
it possible for me to be present. The
invitation has served to call before
my mind pleasant and sacred memories
and associations of my childhood and
early life. The impression left upon
me by these have never been lost.
They have been an anchor to my life
l can never be too grateful for birth
in an old historic New England
town; historic in Christian parentage,
in home sacredness, in truthful devo-
tions and religious integrity. God
dwelt in the New England home and
the New England church. Christiani-
ty meant religion, and religion meant
Christianity. This however, is not
saying that this is not true to-day lin
New England and in other parts of
the country; but if our fathers had not
left us this legacy; if the New England
Of former days, with all it's influence
for shaping future destinies, had not
existed, the mind shuns the thoughts
Of what would be to-day the condition
of our country's, civil, moral and re.
ligous life. The world has progressed;
there is better Interpretation of the
Bible; a broader and deeper religious
sympathy among Christ's followers.
The world of theolOgic thought has en-.
larged, and it's horizon widened, re.
vealing not more the infinite God, but
in wonderful degree the supreme
worth of human life in it's relations tc
infinite purpose in the solving of the
worlds problems.
The foundations laid in New Eng.
land life and New England theology
can never be removed. They are
strong enough and laid deep enough
to stand the increasing weight of {
structure that has been increasing, an(
will continue from generation to gen
Grafton to increase in religious com
prehensivenes. The Christian life be
comes more and more an every day life
The conception of religion, and tn
conception of life are becoming NOR
and more merged into one. The fore
cast of the future finds the problems o
to-day solved in the light Of an all
embracing spirit of Him who came t

al walls are tumbling. There is
deeper sense of the necessity of unite'
effort in establishing true universal be
lief, which shall permeate institutions

and fellowship. These are, and are t

faith. May God bless and make fruit

such as he was able to secure, although more limited in volume than quality.
 Among the families residing in the country contiguous to Defiance was a fairly prosperous farmer named David Rawlins, who, with his wife and very pretty daughter, were quite well known in the community. Hermofne Rawlins was more than an ordinary girl. Her mother came of good old Puritan stock, and the daughter Inherited her beauty, her love for music and learning, and she became, with her natural and acquired brhood and towns near by. It was only attractions, averitable belle In the neigh the old story that she and Dukeen be low CTS. Their troth was eventually pIighted, and the parents of each considered it a well-mated couple and looked forward to a happy and prosperous future.
 Hermoine had spent few weeks at Cincinnati, and subsequently her father sent her to New York to further her musical studies, in which she displayed great talent and proficiency.
 It was finally arranged that she and Dukeen were to be married on New Years eve, and the families of each of the young people were preparing to make the affair as elaborate as possible in those days and with the facilities at hand.
 By mere chance one day the young man discovered that the girl was occasionally receiving letters from some one in Gin cinnati He questioned her about the matter and she endeavored to pass it as

THE PEPsIN HABIT.
Continuous Taking of This Simple Remedy for Indigestion VIII
 Result Badly.

According to DP. Mckenzie, of St. Louis, Mo, there is such a thing as the .tpepsin habit" People take pepsin day after day, until the stomach is made iIi- capable of producing pepsin. The pepsin which the patient has swallowed has taken the place of the natural pepsin of tho stomach. The food has been di- gested in an artificial way, and the stom- ach, finding itself excused from any fur ther effort in this direction, quits the business of making pepsin altogether, and becomes lazy, superfuous member of the alimentary canal.
 Perhaps this description carriers the matter little too far, says Medical Talk, but it serves to call attention to the fact that to take pepsin continually, month after month. and year after year, more harm than good is done. This is also true of any other remedy. There is no remedy so simple, no medicine so potent, no dope so beneficial, but that the con- tinuous taking of it will produce a con- dition as bad, if not worse, than the con- dition for which it was originally taken.
