Of the second party, Barbara Heck en-

and exhorted them to return to God
She then went 10 Embury's house and
told him he must begin holding relig-
ious services, saying: You must
preach to us. or we shall ell go to hell
together. and God will require our
blood at your hands" Embury began
preaching ut once. his first congrega-
ton consisting of five persons. A
Methodist society was formed and in
October, 1868, the first Methodist
church in America-John Street church
was dedicated.
Mr.. Wesley was informed of the rap

Eggs, they say. not only aggravate govt

throughout the vast region west Of the
Alleghen;es, which has been added to
our nation since the days when the
Continental congress first met.
In the hard and cruel life of the bor-
der, with its grim struggle against the
fOrbidding forces of wild nature and
wilder men, there was much to pull
the frontiersman down II left to him
self. without moral teaching and moral
guidance. without any Of the influences
that tend toward the uplifting Of man
and the subduinS Of the brute within
him. sad would have been his, and
therefore our, fate. From this fate we
have been largely rescued by the fact
that together with the rest of the pio-
ueers went the pioneer preacher, ano
all honor be given TO the MethOdistS
for the great proportion of these pio-
neer preachers whom they furnished
These preachers were of the stamp Of
old Peter Cartwright-menw who suffer-
ed and overcame every hardship in
common with their flock, and who. in
addition, tanned the wild and fierce
spirits of their fellow pioneers.
Being of the common people, the
Methodist church has been led 10 do
for them what their spiritual intel
lectual and moral welfare demanded.
Official action was taken by the Meth
odist preachers in America to establish
Sunday schools nine years before Rob-
ert Raikes put his Sunday school idea
into practice in England, an idea
which was suggested to him by the
wife Of Samuel Bradburn. one of Wes-
leys preachers. Almost Immediately
after the organization of the church
steps were taken for the establishment
of a school. and in 1857 ColIesbury coll
lege was founded. The Methodist Epis-
copal church alone now has 80 colleges
and universities; 80 seminaries and
academies; nine institutions exclusive
ly for women: and % theological insti-
tutions 1t has built the largest de-
nominational publishing house in the
world. This was begun in 1889, with q
borrowed capital of over $500 900. and
does a business amounting to aboui
three million dollars annually.

Economy in Threshing.

The fact that there is more grain put into
the straw stack than there should be, is
something that merits the earnest attention
Of the up to-date farmer.
Is it not possible to save the wastage of
grain and time which attends the use of old
style machinery? This is something that
should command the careful consideration
of every farmer.
In line with the thought we call attention
to the ad. of Nichols Il Shepard Company
Battle Greek, Michigan, found in another
column.
1t would seem that the time has come
when this great channel of wastage on the
farm should be eliminated.

How to Keep House.

With all the Injuries and pleasures of
this life, it's big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antithesis
which We have to contend with in the
form of aches and pains. In some way
and by some means every one has a touch
of them in some form at some time.
Trifing as some of them may be, the
risk is that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there
fore, of this kind that we have a right to
triie with. Taken in time, the worst
forms OF aches and pains are easily sub
dued and cured by the free use of St.
Jacobs Oil. No well regulated household
ought, to be without a bottle of this great
remedy for pain. 1t is the specific virtue
of penetration in st. Jacobs Oil that
carries it right to the pain spot and
effects prompt cure even in the most
painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sciatica, Lumbago. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cnts
and wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up sort OF insurance against
pain
