IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
What the Church Folks Are Thinking About and Doing
Religious News From Everywhere.

constant fear, fresh in every mind
that each might be the next victim.
The leader at whom the people had
rallied they now thronged with plead
ings, beseeching Moses to pray fol
their deliverance. To them the SER
penis stood for sin-their own sin OF
unbelief. So their contrite cry rang
out I'VE have sinned. because we
have spoken against the Lord, and
against thee; pray unto the Lord that
he take away the serpents from u.s.
When the Ship Went Down.
One Of the revealing stories which
come from the recent terrible wreck
on the Pacific coast told how the sur
vivors had gathered around minister
of the gospel and prayed, as only
need every spirit fnstfnctively turns to
God; alas, that 1t should require a ca
lamity to bring this to pass with SO
many OF US. The Israelites were obey
ing one of the deepest human instincts
when they turned to Jehovah for
help. The final argument for prayer
is not to be found in the books. but
in the breast of man.
Forbearing, suffering, patient
still, God heard. Since the affection
had been sent as a punishment of I'M
belief, the healing should be by an
act of faith. The sufferers should be
saved through a symbol Moses was
directed to make a serpent of brass
and erect it upon a pole in the sight
OF the whole camp so that whosoever
should look upon il would find life.
God made faith a test Of healing; the
man who would not look. could not
live.
The effect OF the proclamation is
thus imagined by one commentator:
"As the herald passed along, what a
scene the camp would present. There
you might see man all but dead, rails
ing himself upon his arm, and strain
ing his glazed eyes,. II haply he might
behold the glittering symbol; yoncer
another, wiping away his tears of an
guish to look upon the glorious OBJ
1ecti and yonder still, a mother with
her child eagerly pointing to the staff,
II perchance she may fix her loved
ones gaze upon the mystic healer
The Story with a Moral.
Following the example of the Great
Teacher, this dramatic incident must
De used primarily for its illustrative
value. 1t points one great truth, the
truth OF all others which forever is
the need of the times. Man has been
sorely bitten by the serpent of sin. He
must suffer and perish unless saved.
But he can be saved only by faith.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the Wilderness so must the Son of
man be lifted up, that whatsoever be-
lieveth in him may have eternal life ;"
The healing of the worlds suffering
from sin Is only by the appraised
cross.
There is life for a look at the Cruel
fed One"

There is only one way to cure deafness,
Deaf ness is caused by an inflamed condi-

have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear

will be destroyed forever; nine cases out

tober, the most finely illustrated work
upon this subject in the field. The
book is to contain reproductions of one
hundred and forty-three paintings of
American artists. These include work
by every American artist of note. Most
of them are unfamiliar to those VINO
have never seen the originals, and
some of them have never before been
reproduced. This is doing a service to
American artists in the way of stfmu-
lating public interest for which they
should be grateful.
The recent false report of Tolstoi's
death was given such widespread pub
licity as to awaken renewed and wide
spread interest in his work Nor has
this interest been confined to his best
known books, for it has turned to
some of his earlier writings, in which
he used more of action and incident
with less of philosophy. In early man
hood he was a soldier and fought In
the great defense OF seoastopol
against the allied armies; and among
the most impressive of all his books
is a little one which he wrote shortly
after the siege, entitled Sebastopol. In
vivid realism it is unsurpassed by any
thing in his later and more pretentious
works, for, although written in the
form of fiction, it presents his personal
impressions of war scenes. set down
while those impressions were new and
strong. Some years ago the Harpers
this book, with an intro duction by
William Dean Howells. The book con-
sists of three parts: Sebastopol in De-
cember, 1854; Sebastopol in May.
1855; Sebastopol in August. 1855; and
all are written with tense and vivid
brevity of style.
The neatest. most artistic and hand
soonest book Of travel ever published In
Kansas has Just come from the press OF
Adams Brothers of Topeka. The author
is Mrs J. w. Going, wife of the secre-
tary Of the Shawnee Fire Insurance com
pary and 1t bears the appropriate title
'Going Abroad" The book is written in
pleasing, direct style and begins with
the start of the journey at New York.
The reader is taken along 5ust like a
companion on the long trip for the little
things which are always interesting but
are usually overlooked by the travel
writer are not forgotten. For instance.
Mrs. Going tells how the ship Is provts-
toned and includes the fact that the Ice
cream for $50 persons was frozen De-
fore the ship left New York to last for
the three months cruise. The author
does not worry the reader with the deS-
cription of well known places like
Gibraltar and her sentences are short and
incisive. The traveller Is taken through
Egypt, Aigiers, the Holy Land. italy,
Greece. Switzerland. France and Eng
land. Mrs. Going writes well and she
has taken the pains to illustrate her
book quite as well as any OF the DOCKS
of travel published nowadays and much
better than most of them. There are 30
full page half tones. every one OF them
a gem. Fortunate indeed will be the
friends OF the author who receive copy
for It is printed privately, not Tor gem

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it wifi taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is 1t not apparent
then that if this stomach churn isfoul 1t
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of q foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutel
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotcheS,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid, or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
] have been Slxillfully and harmoniously
combined In DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical

DIED AT AGE OF ia YEARS.
Trapper Messer, Aged North Caro-
Una Man, Succunnbs to Death.


Una Man, Succumbs to Death.
Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 21-Fred-
erick Messer, the souths oldest citi-
zen, famous as a hunter and trappeI
before civilization blazed a way across
the Blue Ridge mountains, is dead
at his home, in Haywood county, at
the age of ia years, months and
8 days.
Messer was born Aug. 12, 1892, in
Lincoln county, and in early life,
when western Carolina was an unex-
plored wilderness, peopled by the
Cherokees, he located in the noun
tains q miles from what is now
Waynesyille, the county seat of Hay
wood county, there pursuing his wild
vocation of hunting and trapping. He
was hale and vigorous up to within
few months of his death, frequent
ly walking to Waynesyille to attend
the county court, and once every
year, on his birthday, swimming the
Pigeon river, which runs by his
mountain home He married a wo-
man of Wilmington, this state, who
bore him nine children, and lived to
the age of "a. But one child, now
a woman, 80 years old, survives him.
His age is established by authentic
records.
He used tobacco and the corn whis-
ky of the mountains, in moderation,
all his life, and attributed his great
longevity to his regular sleeping and
waking hours, most of which were
spent out cf doors.
