History of "The Little Brown
Church in the VaIe."
Touching Little oItty Composed by
an Iowa Physician Fifty Years
Ago Has Since Been Sung
Around the World.

Des Moines. Iowa.-Not so very
long ago the writer attended great
religious convention. Thee were
thousands of people in attendance.
There were great speeches and great
singing. The. influence of this great
meeting was SO inspiring that hun
dreds of men marched the streets with
banners bearing appropriate notices.
Nearly every convention has favor
ite song. Tho favorite song at this
convention was. 1.-The Little Brown
Church In the Vale" and 1t was sung
with an enthusiasm that would make
any one want to come to the church
in the wildwood or anywhere else
where a church might be located.
The town Of Bradford. Iowa. has to
do with the history of the song. The
homes in this little village. as easter
ners would call 1t, are of the New Eng
land type and shelter class of people
who stand for moral. intellectual and
religious development.
In 1859 or 1860-or thereabouts-
the good people Of Bradford resolved
to build church where they might
worship God and teach their children
the importance of Christian living and
Christian service. The times were
close and the people were poor; but.
being masters of circumstances and
not their abject slaves" they con-
quered the hard times and their pow
erty by donations of stone. lumber.

gregatonal Church Building Society
came forward with a generous dona-
tion of money. and the little brown
church was ready for dedication with
out debt

FOUND RIGHT PATH
After a False Start.
"1n 1890 I began to drink coffee

I'm 1890 began to drink coffee.
''At that time l was healthy and en-
joyed life. At first noticed no bad
effects from the indulgence but in
course of time found that various
troubles were coming upon me.
"Palpitation of the heart took unto
Itself sick and nervous headaches, kid
ney troubles followed and eventually
my stomach became so deranged that
even a light meal caused me serious
distress.
Our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then l dosed myself
with patent medicines till l was thor
oughly disgusted and hopeless.
Finally began to suspect that cof-
Zee was the cause of my troubles. ex-
perimented by leaving it off. except
for one small cup at breakfast. This
helped some but did not altogether re-
lieve my distress. 1t satisfied me,
however, that WAS on the right track.
$50 1 gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days
found myself greatly improved, my
nerves steady, my head clear, my kid
neys working better and better, my
hearts action rapidly improving. my
appetite improved and the ability to
eat hearty meal without subsequent
suffering restored to me. And this con-
dition remains.

Turkey Breeding.

The turkey crop hatched previous

by the last of November, the cock
birds reaching ten or twelve pounds
The turkey is not fully matured un-
til two years of age, and is in his
prime at three years. and nearly as
good at four years old. 1t is therefore
mistake osell off all the older
birds and retain the young ones for
breeding purposes,
Young turkeys are of a delicate ma

have thrown out the red on their

three months of age. After that they
are hardy. and may be allowed unlim.

TO DESTROY
GROUND HOGS
May be Poisoned With w whea {
Soaked in a Solution of
Strychnine-A1so Easy
to Trap Them.
CBy WALTER b. LEUTZ.)

Ground hogs may be poisoned with
wheat soaked in a solution of strych-
nine, but they can easily be trapped
at the entrance of their burrows. A
better way is to soak a bit OF moss or
hay with bisulphate of carbon and
place 1t well down into the burrow
covering the entrance with heavy
cloth. The carbon being heavier than
air 1t penetrates to the bottom of the
burrow and kills the animals In
stantly. Great care In handling
bisulphate of carbon muEt be observed
because 1t is deadly poison and
must never he inhaled. The bottle
containing 1t should be kept tightly
corked until the moment 1t Is to be
used.

Tho Little Brown Church.

College. and. pitching his tent in Fred
ericksburg. Iowa. gave forty of the
best years of his life to his profession
DR.. Pitts was quite a noted mar
and had a large and increasing prac
tice. His round of calls included
Bradford. He was we'll acquainted
with her people and took lively in
terest In everything that pertained
to their welfare. He heartily seconded
their efforts in building the little
church. DR.. Pitts was also a man OF
musical and literary turn of mind
Just prior to the dedication of the
church he was inspired to write a
song to be used on dedication day. He
said. speaking of his songs, II call
them Inspirations. as they came to
me with force. and I had to write them
out"
The name of the song may not have
been less inspired. The little church
is surrounded by large, stately trees
whose overhanging branches have
sheltered both 1t and its worshippers
from the hot rays of the summers sun
and the cold blasts of the winters
wind. And as he thought of this little
sanctuary surrounded by these great
giants of the forest whom God planted
there. as IL to protect His chosen ones
from harm. he penned this title. THE
Little Brown Church in the Vale" to
his song and wrote:
There's a church In the valley by the
wildwood,
No livelier place in the dale:
No spot is SO dear to my childhood
AS the little brown church in the vale.
How sweet on a bright Sabbath morning
To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones sweetly are calling,
Oh. come to the church In the vale.
There. close by the church in the valley,
Lies one that loved so well:
She sleeps. sweetly sleeps. meath the will
low:
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
There. close by tho side of that loved
one.
Meath the tree where the wild flowers
bloom.
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
1 shall rest by her side In the tomb.
CHORUS
oh. come, come. come come
Come to the church In the wildwood
No spot is so dear't to my childhood
AS the little brown church in the vale
This little song was first sung by
DR.. Pitts on dedication day and was
afterward published by C. NJ. Higgins
of Chicago in 1865. From then until
now this little song has been singing
its way into the hearts of the people,
and it is not too much to say that it
grows sweeter and dearer as the years
roll by. 1t has been sung around the
world. 1t has been translated into
other languages. A German minister
across the sea wrote the author OF
this song that he never saw the Eng.
lish version, but had often sung 1t
from the German print. And years
ago lady travelling in England wrote
that she heard it sung in London by
1000 school children.
This little bit of history Will correct
wrong impression that THE Little
Brown Church in the Vale" is only a
child of the imagination. and to as.
sure all that 1t is "a sure enough
church," and can be seen by any one
who will make a pilgrimage to Brad
