REV. w. T. THAYER WRITES
ON RARAcA CLASSES.
Argues Against the Criticism Which is
Being Made of ths Work of This
Organization.

The Waterman of Feb. Sd contained
an interesting article upon "Baraca
Classes" by Rev. William T. Thayer,
secretary of Baraca union OF Connecti-
cut. in which he said:
The criticism is frequently made
that the church does net lead In the
redemptive movements of society.
Whether true or false, this criticism
is widespread, but its cause is not I'M
known Conservatism in the face of
changing form is commendab1e so long
as based on enlightened conviction.
But when the form has proved its eff
cacy opposition is wrongly called con-
servatism, for it is really pugnacious
resistance. Criticism Springing from
such a source transfers attention from
the truth to the inability Of the critic
to keep pace with revelation and the
church is blamed for refusing to lead
in movements that tend to enlarge eff
cheney. -.--t
Thus it has been with the movement
of the mems organized class in the
Bible school. The church through some
of its leaders rallied wildly against such
tendency to fraternalize, but little
vas done to satisfy the legitimate
craving for social intercourse and the
church was criticized for being at va
rance with life.

A Whaling Experience.
C. A. May of Yantic writes fol-
lows:
In the early part of 1855 the bark
John and Elizabeth. owned by Williams
& Haven of New London. sailed on
whaling voyage to the coast of Africa
commanded by Capt. Andrew Destin of
Colchester, with George A. May, the
writer's father, as first mate. A small
schooner, called the Mountain Spring.
of New London. went along as tender
to assist in the capture of whale and
in boiling the blubber.
The vessel lay at anchor with
boats crew on board. One of the crew
was Alexander Jones of New London.
One night tidal wave swept into the
bay, and the vessel was capsized and
the crew lost with the vessel. There
were other vessels in company with the
bark to go on shares. The boats from
several vessels pulled ashore one day
to see If they could find some sea-
shells. Presently there appeared an
Arab woman on the beach with some
handsome seashells. She beckoned the
sailors to land up a little farther on
the shore. She was a decoy for hostile
Arabs, who were concealed in the sand
with their camelS.
AS the sailors stepped ahore, the
Arabs jumped up with their camels
and tried to capture the whalemen and
carry them across the desert as slaves.
Captain Rider, master of a Province
town schooner, was shot. His leg was
broken. The sailors fought like he
roes and shot one or two of the Arabs.
The others retreated across the desert.
Captain May had several experiences
of this kind during his seafaring life.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Norwich Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think thai
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And. so it is
with all the other symptoms fof kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
OF Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Norwich people tes-
tify to permanent cures.
D. J. Brown, 6 Summer Street, Nor
witch, Conn, says: THE results that
followed the use of Doan's Kidney Pills
in my case were most satisfactory. I
procured this remedy from N. D. SEWN
& Sons drug store, and in view of my
experience can heartily recommend it
as an excellent preparation for toning
up the kidneys and relieving all com
plants due to a disordered condition of
these organs -.
