PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY
A Little Sermon on Matters That
Each Must Decide for Himself

A Little Sermon on Matters That
Each Must Decide for Himself
Be up and doing not down and done
for.
If you are a church member and
fully believe the teachings of the
church to which you belong live up to
its demands. Wake up and go to
prayer meeting, -and don't go to sleep
after you get there. You say they are
not interesting, that you know just
what Deacon SO and So will say. Per
haps they are not growing very fast
or they would have more new expert
ences. but that is no excuse for you.
The prayer meeting is your meeting
it is the home meeting of the church
and you are not holding up your end
with your pastor If you stay away
| should think the minister would
want to get some of the members by
the collar and shake them up, and I'll
bet ne does.
If you are wearing the church foI
cloak, get OUT For a hypocrite is
an abomination in the sight OF the
Lord
Why do you make the good sisters
support the minister with suppers,-
fairs, etc?
You remember last week said that
mortal man shuts out his own lignt
with the almighty dollar What did
Jesus say about the widow and her
last cent? She has given more than
all" What did he tell the rich young
man. Sell what tnou hast and give
tn hn - q.
the poor needed the money so badly.
Jesus knew that riches stood in the
young mans light.
You would be likely to fire" your
minister if he told you these same
words land | don't know as | would
blame you any, considering the way
it is put together) but it's truth and
you know it.
Now I'll take it home. | was
brought up Baptist but found out l
was mighty poor one. studied the
matter and found l had grown away
from its creed and doctrine so | got
out. Today am not member of any
organization, creed, sect or denomina-
ton, simply an individualist In the
one big church of God, striving to
make headWay.
To the young people, as well as the
old members. let me tell you to con-
slider well your position. You may
need the church for support or it
would not be here. Then see to it
that you become an active member.
Man needs the forms and symbols
to hold MIN to the central thought but
the time is coming when humanity
will see that the form isn't the man
and that all men are but different ex.
pressions of one life. This conscious
ness of one in spirit or the at-one-ment
makes it possible to love our neigh
bors as ourselves.
1t isn't alone what you do but what
you are. For as a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he.'

ficials. The president proposes to &C

Messrs Prouty and Witherbee have
arranged to have special train take

MEAT INSPECTION WORTHLESS
Diseased Beef Said to Be Passed In
immense Quantities

st. Louis, Mo, June 10.-After IS
months service as a United States
meat inspector in East st Louis pack
ing houses, j. F. Harms has resigned,
he says. writing a letter to Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson demand
ing an investigation of the meat in
spection system at tne National stock
yards.
Harms asserts that he has resigned
because he could not tolerate the con
ditions and because the inspector in
charge of the bureau of animal indus
try was too lenient with the packers.
The inspection at the National
Stock yards Illinois, is costing the
people approximately 100000 year,
he says in his letter, and it is not
actually worth % to them. For when
the word is passed from the inspector
in charge to the inspectors actually
doing the work on the floors that they
are getting too many condemned ami
mails and to change the grading, it
means that the whole thing is farce.
Mr.. Secretary, the packers are getting
today from 40 to so per cent of what
ought to be condemned and destroy
ed.
Il have seen from 1900 to 1900
pounds of lard spill and run into an
open sewer in the floor, the sewer out
let quickly blocked and said lard TAX
en- up from the floor and out of the
sewer. both of which were unclean
and unsanitary. And your doctors
passed the same to the packers over
the protest of the United States in
spector on that floor an it went to the
public marked ~. s. inspected and
passed.
Harms also cites several specific in.
stances of alleged tax inspection dec.
laring meat condemned by sub-inspec-
tors had been released to the pacfere
by higher officials.
Chief Inspector Clancy discussine
the charges, asserted such cases were
not uncommon, because the duties of
the chief inspector called for decis.
| ions in matters of doubt.
Many of the other charges, | am
sure, cannot be true" said DIR. Clan.
cy. HE has not complained to me
| about my decisions nor to my assis
tant, DR. William H. Meadors. We are
ready to be investigated any time"

Property of Holden, Leonard Co. To

The town listers have completed
t'neir work inside the limit provided

chins, Edmond La Franchise and FL
mer f. lockwood They have worked
overtime the past week in order to
finish in season. The books are now
all completed and filed with Town
clerk Booth.
The total property list of the town
is found to be as assessed for taxa
ton $5,149,072, which is a decrease of
$4,000 from last year an reduces the
grand list by $3.50.
This decrease is due entirely to a
change by the Holden, Leonard Co.

this state and Massachusetts In one
company under the laws of Maine.
This brings it's personal property I'M
der Maine laws for taxation and takes
1t out of its list here. The Change re-
duces the taxable property of the
company in Bennington by 100000.
Aside from this change there was
a gain of over 100000 in taxable
property which is large gain for one
year. The property list for the three

Pe-ru-na a Tonic After Exhaustion

Teatro Principal,

The Peruna Drug Mfg. Co.,
Columbus, Ohio, U. s. A.
Gentlemen: Having used your justly
celebrated remedy, la Peruna, for some
time, have the pleasure of informing
you that l consider it the best tonic l
have ever used.
1t is a wonderful fortifier of the nerves
after exhaustion, and it increases the
vitality of the whole body, and in my
own case has produced the most com.
plete and permanent restoration. 1t is
also pleasant 10 the taste.
do not hesitate, therefore, to recon-
