things" Many people enroll them
selves with the church to advance their
business and social success. Some
mothers teach their girls to dance that
they may have grace and there are
some people who become church mem
bers that they may obtain grace and
dignity with a certain class Of people.
Religion may not make a man shout,
out it keeps the devil away and worries
him. Some have an idea that the
Methoudist Church ought to let down
bars and agree with the dignifed young
men and women who care to dance.
Let down the bars? Lower the stand
ard of the Methodist Church? Never.
After the preaching DR.. Adams ask
ed all who wanted to get nearer the
Almighty to kneel at the altar. The
bench was crowded with ministers and
others. After this there was what DR.
Adams termed an old-time hand-shaI-

a whole heart.
Woman With a Hatehet.
There was a rumor spread among
some of the tenters that Carrie Nation.

grounds Several corroborated the
story by stating that they saw a wo-
man who resembled the printed pic

a hatchet in her hand As there are ID
saloons near Brandywine the conserp-
ative ones discredited the idea that
Mrs. Nation should be around thus
armed 1t was learned later that the
woman seen was a very peacable old
soul and strictly honest. AS she en-
tered the grove she found a hatchet ly-
ing in the road and was merely hunt
ing for the implements owner.

The announcements that IT. II. Archer
