week, the report of Rev. ID, b. Gray
showed that in additions in member
ship there we're 1904 members the
largest number being made during
the past two years. The contributions
during the same period for benevo-
lences amounts to SO, 33i. While the
figures show much progress, yet the
speaker condoued the use of them
and argued that they could not he
depended upon in dealing with
church affairs. "What we want to
know, said the speaker "is not the
number of members, but what does
the church and its membership stand
for Congregationalism does not
stand for members it stands for free
dom in religious affairs.
DIR. f. l.. House and Rev. l.. d.
Malone INTRODUCED resolutions relative
to a federation of the churches of the
state. The concensus of opinion
showed that the Congregational
churches were in favor of a closer
2omity with the other churches.

says It cured him. He recommended

served on James W. Alexander, presi-
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, in which he seeks the remov-
al OF the latter. Hyde alleges in his
complaint that Alexander conspired
with George E. Tarbell to get control
of the society for personal ends, and
for that purpose, among other reason,
circulated various defamatory stories
concerning him. He denies all these
stories, particularly the alleged ''can.

Is Prohibition A Success

We leave this for the people of the
localities interested to decide, while
we will try to induce those who use it
for sickness or for family use in any
way, to use pure whiskey. The kind
that does the least harm and the most
good. We don't suppose there ever
was or will be person but who would
want pure whiskey if he could get it,
and yet, the impure article has been
sold so much and claims so often made
that it was pure that some people do
not know the article orqualifcations OF
the genuine taste.
Convenience again causes some to
be careless in ordering their whiskey.
They either imagine they wifi not get
their orders filled promptly or that we
are too far away to give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we de.
liver goods in the south as promptly
as to local points, and we make a spec.
ialty of shipping all orders promptly
on the first train.
During the last three months we have
endeavored to give the readers of this
paper few facts concerning whiskey,
to guide them in its use and buying.
We have already received magnificent
results, and are particularly pleased
with our part of the advertising, ani
should there be anyone who woulC
like for us to 60 more into details, We
will give them all the information they
desire if they will write us.
Let US send you our order blanks
and instructions. Give Premier Pure
a trial, and even though you are thu
poorest Judge of whiskey you will ex
perience no trouble in telling the diff
ference in our goods and others. Write
today. p. r. LANCASTER & Co.
