IN her memoirs Nine. de Boigne
gives some interesting glimpses OF
English social life. For instance, she
writes:
an 1916 no young English lady ven
tured TO waltz. The Duke of Devon
shire returned from tour In Germany
and observed one evening at a large
bail that q woman was never seen 10
better advantage than when waltzing.

lous to play a trick, but he repeated
this assertion several times. IL was
passed from mouth to mouth, and at
the next ball all the young ladies were
WaItzing. The duke admired them
greatly. said that 1t was delightful and
gave proper animation to Dali. lie
then added carelessly that he, at any
rate. had decided never to marry q
lady who waltzed. 1t was to the
Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton
House that he saw At to make tnis
revelation. The poor duchess, the most
clumsv OF matchmaking mammas, near
IL fell off her chair with horror. Sne
repaated the statement to her neigh
bors. who passed Il on, and consterha-
ton spread from seat to seat. The
voung ladies continued to waltz with
clear consclences. The old ladies were
fnrlous but the unfortunate dance was
concluded. Before the end Of the even

was able to announce that her daugh-
ters felt an objection to waltzine
which no persuasion Of hers could ever
overcome. Some few girls OF more IN
dependence continued to waltz, but the
majority gave 1t up"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deaf,.ess, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
When 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi.
tion of the mucous surfaces.

Unitarianism.

We are asked again what Unita-
rianism and how does it differ
from u iversalism. The two are
often called twins. The latter
has something positive in its dog
mas the former is. negative
throughout. Unitarianism denies
everything essential in and dear
to the Christian heart.
1t has no creed and no theolo-
gical works of course. No one is
required to believe any thing i'll
order to join one of its churches.
It has possibly five hundred
churches in all. But Unitarians
are found, sad to say, III some
''so-called" orthodox churches.
If the reader will memorize a
few of the heretical views they
hold he will be enabled to distin-
guish the Unitarian preacher
whatever denomination he has
gotten into, or whatever pulpit
he fills. We will state briefly
some Of the things for which Uni
tarianism stands.
1t rejects the Lord Jesus Christ
as the second person in the Trim
ity. According to contention he
was simply the highest, the first
among the sons of man. He
is worthy of the reverence of men
and of being held in esteem and
because his character was 50 pure
and holy; but it denies that he
made a sacrifice for sin, that he
"died the just for the unjust" as
wess see it.
Then it rejects the Bible as the
infallible Word of God. Some
things i'll it are to be accepted and
some to be rejected. Parts of it
are not to be received because his
torically inaccurate or lacking in
moral qualities.
Then it stands for the universal
! fatherhood ef God. In its view
Gail men are Gods children"
This is the chief virus of the bold
heresy Regeneration is denied
out and out. There is no. need
for it. All that that the ortho.
dox say about it is sheer senti-
ment and radically false interpre.
tation of what we call religious
experience. The great need Of

HAS ACCEPTED CALL.
Former Rowan Minister viii Return to the
State and Locate in Charlotte.

Recently Lutheran church o1
Charlotte extended call to the
Rev R. l.. Patterson, of Sumer.
set, Ind, to become its pastor and
Mr.. Patterson has accepted the
call. The minister is son Of
Mrs. I. F. Patterson, of China
Grove, and he has been in the
field he now vacates for almost
seven years. The Somerset Her.
aid has the following to say in
reference to the matter:
"Rev. Patterson's resignation
comes as a great surprise to the
large membership Of Trinity, and
as quickly as they recovered from
their shock a resolution refusing
to consider his resignation was
adopted by an overwhelming vote.
Similar action was taken by the
congregation of Christ's Casa
beer) church at the conclusion of
the service held there in the after
noon. just what the outcome will
be- remains to be seen, as the
members of both congregations
are devotedly attached to Rev.
Patterson, and aside from their
personal regard for him as a pas
tor and neighbor they are 10th to
see him remove from the local
field in which he has accomplish
ed so much for upllft of Luther
anlsm. During his pastorate here
the accession to Trinity and Christ
congregations have been unprece-
dented when contrasted with SIM
liar periods, and h 8 untiring la
Dor, coupled with his rare schol-
arshlp has won him a high place
in the Allegheny Synod, of which
he is now president. It is safe to
add that great pressure will be
brought to bear upon the popular
pastor of Trinity to withdra" his
resignation, in this effort the con-
gregations will receive the gener-
GUS assistance Of the entire. COM
munity, which has long since
come to recognize IN Rev. Patter-
son citizen of great value, one
whose influence stretches far he
yond denominational lines and is
felt in almost all, if not every
