The President has issued his procla.
nation naming Thursday November 80
as a day for Thanksgiving. The proc.
lamation follows;
A Proclamation.
When, nearly three centuries ago, the
first settlers came to the country which
has now become this great republic,
they faced not only hardship and priva.
tion but terrible risk TO their lives. In
those grim years the custom grew Of
setting apart one day In each year for
a special service Of thanksgiving to the
Almighty for preserving the people
through the changing seasons. The
custom has now become national and
hallowed by immemorial usage.
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathors, the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days, and yet the dangers 90
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time In our history
II is cmiucntly fitting that once a year
our people should set apart a praise
for thanksgiving to tho giver Of good,
and at the same time, that they express
their thankfulness for tho abundant
morcios received. should manfuliy &C.

During the pasi year We have been

a level Of material wellbelng as ours
now stands. We are NOT threatened

and against these there Il always need
that We should warn.

OIL the jurisdiction of the General
conference over Southern Conferences
inconsistent with the success of the
ministry in the holdings States.
Ihis declaration, signed by all the
southern delegates, was referred to
a committee
Then Rev. j. b. McFerrin, of Ten
neSsee, offered q resolution lnstructing
the committee, in case they could not
devise a plan for an amicable adjust
ment of the difficulties then existing
to devise if possible constitutional
plan for mutual and friendly division
of the church
That committee. Obeying instruc-
tions, not being able to devise a plan
for settling the difficulties, reported a
plan for dividing the church. which
was adopted by a vote of 139 to II.
BY the plan of division each branch
of MethOdism was to confine its Op-
erations to it's territory, and there
was to be no clashing by invading
each others premises.
1t would make my article too long
to go into detail. but sufficient to say,
the plan of division was fair enough,
and the Southern delegates had the
good sense and the precautiOn to
clinch some nails the northern church
would have drawn out. For, it is a
we'll remembered fact, that after they
had voted for the division, afterWard
they tried TO defeat it, and finally had
to be sued to make them pay. what
they agreed in the plan of livisiOn
the South should have.
The Methodist Episcopal Church,
South is sixty-one years old and is
getting along very well, and I an in
clined to the opinion the division was
a good thing. 1t is my opinion that
the longer we stay apart the better, SO
we keep the unity Of spirit III the

WHAT SULPHUR DOES.
For the Human Body i'm Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur Will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose Of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old fashioned rem
edy was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
fects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and eX-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tanned from Calcium Calcium Sui
phide) and sold in drugs stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
let's and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated, effective, form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this fdsm of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health: sulphur acts directly on the
liver and eXcretory organs and puri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste ma
terial.
Our grandmothcrs knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the d SeaSe, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. NJ. Wilkins while expert
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found that the sulphur from Calcium
was superior to any other form. He
says: For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
from consultation or malaria. 1 have
been surprised at the results obtained
from Stuarts Calcium Waters. In pa
tients suffering from boils and pim-
pies and even deep-Seated carbuncleS,
have repeatedly seen them dry up
and disappear in four or five days,
leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL
though Stuart's Calcium Waters is a
proprietary article, and sold by drug
gists, and for that reason tabooed by
many physicians, yet l know of moth
ing so safe and reliable for consti-
patton, liver and kidney troubles and
especially in all forms of skin disease
as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills cathartiCS and SO-caIIed blood
purifiers" will find in Stuarts Cal
cium Waters a far safer, more pal
atable and effective preparation
