He WANDERED AFFAIR.".
But Returned to Great
Prosperity.
From Where Want and Misery Had
Been Galore He Came TO Trus-

Times.

Col. w. II. Osborne, of Greensboro
has received THE following letter:
Having been an inmate of your In

though l should herald them TO the
world; that others suffering with that
cursed evil, the drink habit, may DC
cured, as have been. Perhaps no NOR

his God-giyen opportunities as /, hence
the deep and lasting gratitude that
goes out from the very depths OF my
heart to your management for those
benefits received. 1t wiped amay the
misery and woe that came to my once
happy home. 1t healed a loving moth
ers almost broken heart. 1t restored
the sweet friendships of former uays
With my companions and friends or
the long ago. 1t brought back that
sweet communion with my intimate
and trusted associates of other days.
1t brought back that prosperity OF
former days, where want and misery
had been galore. 1t restored me to a
former lucrative position in business,
and infused new confidence into my
employer who had occasion to distrust
me for want of sobriety. 1t restored
me to the God-given opportunity and
fitted me again for the many duties
that await the upright and honest
man, and last, but ont least, it brought
back that happy peace and bright
prospects that await the faithful in
this life.
No monument of granite or gold
could be more lasting to your mem
DRY than the good you are doing for
suffering humanity and eternity it.

thank YOU for the opportunity of add

LETTER FROM DAVIDSON.
Archbishop Of Canterbury to American
 Baptists and Presbyterians.

London, Jan. 6.-The Archbishop of canterbury. replying to a memorial from Baptists and Presbyterians of America asking his assistance to pre- vent the hardships suffered by non- conformists of Great Britain, who ob- Ject to the payment of the educational tax encloses d copy of a previous re- ply on the same subject to a memorial from the Baptist Convention at New York.
 The reply contrasts the Archbishop of Canterbury's difficulty of under standing the political condition in connection with the Presidential elec- ton in America with the difficulty an American citizen might experience in understanding the complex education al problems of Great Britain, and maintains that the act under which the tax Is levied does not interfere in the smallest degree with religious lib- erty, and that the whole tendency of the bill Is to remove so-called non conformist difficulties. He says the present controversy in Great Britain would be found to have other origin and interests than those purely educa- tional."
 The Archbishop, In a letter enclosing this reply, says 1t has afforded him great pleasure to help cement the friendship which he hopes will con of England and their Christian breth- ren of America. and continues:
 You may rely on my doing every thing in my power, not only in Eng land. but throughout the world, to re- move any mischievous causes of mis- understanding among Christian peo- ple."
