STOP SPLITTING.
Spreads Consumption =
Stuffy Rooms and AIcO-
hOliC Excesses.

Belief advanced by so many ia
nous surgeons that intemperance
is an active agent in the spread of
consumption has found a powerful
supporter in Sir William Broad
bent, Of London, England.
In a striking speech at a meeting
of the National Association for the
Prevention of Consumption he de-
clares that deficient food, over
work, stuffy rooms and alcoholic
eXcesses are the principal factors
in the progress of the disease, and
then, in impressive tones, empha-
sized his belief that the greatest
and most potent of these was alcO-
holic excess.
EXpectoratiOn, he continued,
caused it to spread more than any
thing else. If the whole of the cx-
pectOration could be destroyed at
one moment the disease would be
stamped out. Splitting must be
stopped by public opinion and ad-
equate punishment.

THAT DEDICATION AGAIN.
Gilead Baptist Church-The Debt
Wiped 0ut-A Time of Re-
joicing.

Shannon Willingham, us usher,
had much work in finding seats for
even the ladies while those who
had given encouragement by say
ing the house would never be
filled and some who said it might
be filed decoration day if the
weather were favorable, stood with
open mouth and buldging eye as
vehicle after vehicle stopped at the
gate with a load of people bent on
hearing the sermon to be preached
by that noble soldier of the cross,
Rev. J.C. Armstrong, and of join
ing in the songs of praise and
thanksgiving of this little band
who had so well earned the day of
dedication and rejoicing.
The sermon will long be remem.
bered, tho we failed to catch the
text. Treasurer's report showed
total cost of building to be near
81 900, with a deficit of $120. A
calf to raise this amount was no.
bly, responded to and $1l2 was
soon in sight. &. b. Willingham
and Otto Kunkle assumed the bal.
auce. Dinner was served, and
owing to the kindness aud fore
thought of Mt. Zion, Midway and
Sunrise there seemed to be an am.
pie supply.
At 2:30 reminiscent talks by
Revs. Jesse, Rice and Johnston.
Then another good sermon by Rev.
Armstrong, from Mark 1926, af-
ter which the dedication prayer
was offered by Rev. j. S. Jesse,
and it is hoped that every soul
composing this body was rededicat-
ed and more thoroly consecrated to
the Master.
We appreciated the affiliation of
Walnut Grove.
A setting of turkey eggs was
one of the remnants"
Pastor McQuie absolutely loses
himself in serving others.
Mr.. Simpson of Santa Fe kindly
furnished an organ for the occa-
sion.
B. p. Phears and wife of Lad
donia favored us with their pres
encG.
Hopewell and Mt. Zion dis
missed their Sunday schools in fa-
vor Of us.
J. S. Jesse proved that preach
er boy likes big red apples same as
other boys.
A nice table linen was left lying
on the table, and is now locked in
the church.
Phillip Shire, who is conserva-
tive at all times, estimated the
crowd at 500.
II. B. Rice voiced the sentiment
of the community that "McQuie
was a GOdsend."
A small meat dish was left on
the table, perhaps for the sexton,
leastwise he has possession.
Some will be careful after this
about subscribing to church
building, thinking it will never
materialize.
Rev. Armstrong and Joe Arm,
strong introduced themselves by q
good morning" across faces in
the audience.
Visitors present from seventeen
churches - Baptist, Methodist,
Christian, Lutheran, Presbyterian
and Catholic.
Thru the kindness of Keiser &
Son there was an abundance OF
coffee; the senior member of that
firm does enjoy imbibing the bev-
erage.
The PASTORS words of thanks to
all who had so generously contri-
buted in any way to the cause
here, was but the echo of each and
every heart.
