TRUE CHRISTIANITY.

Editor News:
I have been asked by some Of my
brethren who are readers of your pa
per, to write some, and if you will
give me the privilege of little space
in your columns | will do the best
can, and | DON know Of any subject
more important than to talk little on
the doctrine of the Bible and the di
vinity of christians.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l don't know
whether you are christian man or
not, but | can say one thing, if you
are not you ought to be. / don't mean
just to be member of some church
for | am sorry to have to say that
there are as bad characters who have
their names on the church books as
there are on the other side.
"Now, the spirit speaketh expressly
that in the latter times some shall de-
part from the faith, giving heed to Sc
ducing spirits and doctrines of devils,
speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their
conscience scared with hot iron, for
bidding to marry and commanding to
abstain from meats, which God hath
created to be received with thanksgiv-
ing to them which believe and know
the truth, for every creature of God
is good and nothing to be refused if it
be received with thanksgiving, for it
is sanctified by the word of God and
prayer. If thou put the brethren in
remembrance of these things, thou
shalt be good minister of Jesus
Christ, ourished up in the words of
faith and of good doctrine whereunto
thou hast attained. i Timothy, 4th
chapter, 16 verses.
We have men now going hOllering
over the country forbidding to eat
meats. While they are trying to teach
others they have need of someone to
teach them. They change from one
faith to another. ut is a good thing
that the heart be established in the
faith and not be tossed about with ev-
cry wind and doctrine If we have
not the spirit of Christ we are none OF
his, and we don't find where Jesus ev-
er changed from one faith to another.
Let us not strain at gnat and swal-
low camel. We must not say to oul
brother, "Thou shalt moi. do such and
such thing, and then go and do the
very same thing ourselves Read the
bible for the truth and not to suit oul
creed. We are to know the tree by its
fruits If tree doesn't bear fruit il
is not good tree. So faith without
works is dead. Show me thy faith
without thy works and l will show
you my faith by my works. james

Persons Suffer From Charbon.

Charbon. a deadly and loathsome
disease which afflicts cattle and which
has killed thousands of valuable ami
mails in Louisiana, has attacked hu-
man beings now and many men are

humans have been stricken. Up to
date no deaths have resulted. Char.
bon has afflicted cattle for centuries,
but as seldom visited this country.
It was known to the ancients in
Egypt and often scourged the Asia

caused by a germ which enters the
animals skin through an abrasion.
