Has not the time come when the
churches should either utilize their ex-
pensive sites in cities, in part at least,
for business purposes or sell them and
devote the larger part of the proceeds
to practical Christian uses? Would
there be any incongruity in having .
modest share Of the church property
devoted to assembly rooms, while other
portions were put to business purposes
Then the property Of our churches adj
ministered on business principles, might
Yield such returns that church philan-
thropies would flourish as never before
salaries sufficient to attract and hold
the ablest men in the ministry might be
paid, and practically and spiritually
might go hand in hand in the forward
march of the church Of the twentieth
century.

Prescription Given Which Sufferers of

TO relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol.
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from any druggist in the
smaller towns, and are easily mixed
by shaking them well in a bottle. Re
lief is generally felt from The first
few doses.
This prescription, states a we'll
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clogged-up, in
active kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.

Street Baptist Church last Sunday
morning. In anticipation of some
trouble police ofirer was on hand,
but his services were not needed.
The trouble that has been mani

still in evidence. No business meet
ing can be held until the Injunction
is removed, but the supporters of
Dr. Edwards seem in no hurry about
removing IL. No money can be paid
out Tor salaries or other expenses.
by way of the treasurer of the church
and this difficulty is being tided over
by making the stream leading to the
treasury as small as possible.
DR.. Edwards friends are furnish

worse than the first so far as an early
settlement of the controversy is
concerned.

He Missed His Aim.

Immediately upon Governor Var
daman's ascendency in Mississippi
and his Inauguration as governor he
abolished the Normal School fer col
ored people, located at Holly Springs,
Miss, hoping thereby, no doubt, to
curtail the educational privileges OF
the Negroes of that section OF MS
state. But while he was musing the
fire burned. The Negro was not a
sleep. The members OF the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church OF that
state, under the intrepid and irwin
cibie leadership OF Bishop Elias Cot
trell, had set about 10 establish
school of their own.
Consequently practically within a
stones throw OF the school abolish
ed by Governor Vardaman there has
been erected, largely by Negro con-
tributions. a school better I'm every
way than the school formerly pro-
vided by the state Bishop Cottrell
and his supporters purchased n num-
Der of acres OF land and have erect
ed n substantial brick structure,
beautiful and convenient in arrange
ment.
The total aggregate value of the
property is estimated 20 be $50. 900

dollars, came from the pockets OF the
colored people n Mr. Vardaman
hoped TO curtail the Negro's educa-
tional privileges in Mississippi he
failed. But more not satisfied with
what had been accomplished. these
Colored Methodist Episcopalians are
led on TO larger victories. They met
recently at Holly Springs and laid
the cornerstone Of two new build
ings-a boys dormitory and another
building.
It was an auspicious event. which
called together not only representa-
tivcs of that church. but also such
distinguished men OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South. as Bishop

Inspired by past success these Ne
