CLOSE COMMUNION
NOT DISTURBED.

! (By Rev. Il. B. Mcdaniel in Clarksburg
Telegram.)
The statement that has appeared in
cer'ain newspapers concerning the
abolition by the Baptists of what Is
enormously called CLOSE communion. ="
is incorrect and misleading.
In the first place the Baptists have
~ organization or. power that can
| legislate for them. Every Baptist
Church is pure democracy. and each
is absolutely Independent one OF the
other. Baptist Churches are federated
in local associations and State con-
ventions, but these annual gatherings
are not in the least legislative in their
functions.
The truth about this newspaper sto.
ry is simply this: There is a DISPOSE.
tion and feeling looking towards a
union with the regular Baptists OF
what is known as the Free Will Bap-
| tis;s. This is denomination that was
organized in New England States in
The early part of the last century, by a
baptist named Benjamin Randall He
end his followers did not separate from
the Baptists because ii the communion

ism as they were held by the Baptists,
although Randall had no idea of form.
some very recent words: 1T Is true
that most people upacquainted with
their history have connected their name
with their present liberal attitude.
Their name on the contrary, arose from
their doctrine of freedom of will, or
Arminianism. The communion prob.
lem was n much better issue"
The Freewill Baptists are firm i'm.
mersionists. and thei' church govern
ment is modified Congregationalism
Their total number is S3,S22 nearly
half of whom are in tne New England
States. Some years ago there was 4
church at Pennington In this State,
but 1t is now extinct. The number OF
regular Baptists in The United States
alone is 100000.
II number Of places where there is
any considerable number of Free Will
Baptists, negotiations are pending, and
some are contaminated, looking to a
practical union. The differences are
slight and no more than might be
found even In regular Baptist
Church. The reporter who exploited
this story that such union meant an
al clifton of close communion" had,
to say the least, fertile Imagination.

The celebrated DR.. Abernethy OF
London was firmly OF the opinion that
disorders OF the stomach were the most
prolific source OF human ailments in
general. A recent medical writer says

by land he might well have said through
the stomach" He goes on to show that
the stomach is the vital center OF the
body. He says rthe function of d.
gestion in its several stages is to pre-
pare the food in forms which are suita-
able to be added to the structure
meaning the structure of our bodies.
He continues, "every physical action
circulating of the blood to the most
active bodily exertion wears out por-
tons of the structure (of our bodies)
and they become dead and so require
to be taken away speedily. Much of
the food which we take, and especially
when unwholesome or in excess, adds
to the waste material, and when it has
undergone chemical changes it is still
more mischievous." Then he goes on
to the effect that the nervous system
prompts every part Of the circulating
system. He says rit gives its message
every moment to the intimate number
OF glands and follicles to unload them
selves of waste material so that the
current of blood may carry it away"
when these two processes of nutri-
ton and excretion are thus carried on
with equal assiduity we are in health,
but when this equilibrium does not
exist there comes disorder and disease.
The common form of such derange-
ment is indigestion or dyspepsia. The
function of nutrition is interrupted
and all the operations irhich depend
tions it has q way of appearing in
other types of disorder. Many OF these
often mislead physicians. Other parts
OF the organism are likely to be in

alienation (derangement). He says
nit may be observed that deranged
persons have n woe-be-gone express
sion, offensive breath, irregular action
OF the bowels, haliucinations and other
like conditions OF dyspepsia"
The foregoing is no doubt rational
view OF the sad havoc worked in the
human system by indigestion and dys-
pepsia, torpid liver and kindred de-
rangements, which are generally asso.
cinted with or followed by many other
diseases of diverse appearance, but all

To Protect Salmon,

An agreement has finally been
reached between the legislatures of
the state of oregon and Washington
by which harmonious laws will be en-
acted for the protection and advance
ment of the fishing industry on the
Columbia river.
An attempt was made in this direc-
tion two years ago but a special COM
mittee of the Oregon legislature which
went to Olympia to hold joint con-
ference with a like committee of the
Washington legislature returned to
report that they were unable to
reach an agreement and that the
Washington legislature would not pass
such laws, fixing a scale of licenses
similar to those proposed by Oregon
and the matter was dropped.
The special committee, appointed
by the senate and the house of the
present legislature, secured better re-
suits and returned to report that an
amicable agreement had been arrived
at between the two committees and
that the Washington laws for the pro-
lection of the salmon industry would
be amended to conform to the oregon
laws.
