tious name. Representative. The |
Gentle sinner strikes at me and does |
me an Injustice by not stating why we |
are not doing regular pastoral work. |
He knew better than to conclude his
little batch of stuff with the words
that it did not apply to anyone, for he
said at the beginning of his remarks,
one of the reverends who was uphold
ing salaried preachers. He knew that
we were the only preacher that had
written anything for the News on the
subject and that we had cOntended on
| ly that Paul received wages or salary
| for his'services in preaching and that
preachers of today should live of their
| services like other men, as God intend
| ed. Solomon tells US that the soul OF
! the wicked desireth evil and his neigh
| Dor findeth no favor In his eyes. The
devil had been trying to put down
| christianity ever since Christ institute
| ed it in the world by opposing all
plans that promote its interest. KEEP
resentative' s" attack on us was EVIL
dentally made from prejudiced motives
before his mind had time for action,
and the rotten plank that it did not
apply to anyone, was inserted at the
conclusion. Why was it placed therer
Just to crawl out on i'll case we re-
piled. We learn from Solomon that
there is more hope of fool than there
is for man that is hasty in speech.
Men of hasty spirit generally act from
prejudice before the mind has time for
action. Therefore there is no hope for
them. Had not Representative"
made such statements and almost spec
ifically named us, we would have
wholly ignored his little, warty asper-
sions, for God knows that his people
don't endorse them. AS an ordained
preacher we don't propose to discuss
subjects with men who are destitute of
Gods grace, church membership and
and bible knowledge.
Men must be in good standing in
their own church and community and
hold pair of credentials if we take
issue with them. viii her- say that
the best christian people in my com
munity will gladly endorse our life
and would furnish us their certificates
to that effect. Wonder how many
christian people of any denomination
Representative could get to endorse
his life | would like to see. We are
irving to serve God as best we can and

Sunday unless gone on some special
mission. True, we are not doing any
pastoral work at present and there is a
reason, not that churches do not want
our service, for we could get more of
, them than we could serve, if we were
, able The following is reason enough
, for thinking people;

Dear Mr. White:
Your letter has been read very care
fully and it is evident that you are
suffering from CASTRO intestinal catarrh,
degeneration of the liver and kidneys
, and general neurasthenia. The mu.
, cous membrane lining of the stomach
3 and bowels is thickened, and coat
3 ing of purulent mucous or phlegm, Gov
ers the surface, preventing the diges
l tive fluid from mixing with the food.
: This condition soon breeds deadly dis
ease in the fermented, unassimilatet
food: the stomach kidneys, liver
bowels and other vital organs become
F., inocculated with germs from the deatl
dealing secretions, and anyone of many
terrible disorders may be the direct re
= suit. In your case the poison has ex
/ tended through the bile duct to tn,
4 liver, and is gradually causing tn,
n cells of the liver to degenerate. Their,
4 is also degenerated condition of thu
tissues and secreting cells of your kid
neys. They fail to eliminate the pois
on from the blood, and all the vital or
\ gans begin to decay Your neuras
thenic condition is due to a depleted
nerve force, the vital energy and pow
er of the cells being seriously impaired
Your blood does not contain the prope
nutritive elements to supply the nervo
vital fluid that is demanded by you
4 system. Neurasthenia in attackin,
the nerves, at once attacks the Who'll
body and may result in absolute nerv
3 Gus prostration.

After reading the above diagnosis o
our case, could any man of reason sup
pose that we are physically able to d
40 pastoral work, since all the vital OF
w gans of our body are gradually decay
N ing. We have taken treatment frol
snch able men as Drs T. w. Graydon
h of Cincinnati. Ohio, and r. V. Price
of Buffalo, n. Y, and Wallace Had
10 ley. whose diagnosis appears above
. Also many other physicians. We hav
10 been advised to retire from minister's
work by men who know that study de
W stroys nerve cells. Our case is beyon
= medical aid. The best medical talen
ia has failed to cure us We are not abb
to do much preaching as we have nc
r eaten single mouthful of anythin
"a since Sept "a. 1895, that hasn't soul
Nj ed in our stomach. We mean to
what we are able to do, be it little c
of much, Notwithstanding we have bee
"a advised by health specialists to retir,
We know that we can't live long i
4. our present condition, therefore or
hearts desire is to be of some us
- while we live. In the poet languag
at we will say:
al I'm soon be at home over there,
s. For the end of my journey see:
m Many dear to my heart over there,
II Are watching and waiting for me.
