SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
In Pioneer Days In Missouri Every Dr.
vine Carried a Gun With Him
to Church.

Nearly every pioneer preacher In
Missouri was as expert in the use OF
the rife as any of the laymen, says a
writer in the Globe-Democrat. Serv-
ices were usually held in a neigh
boris cabin. Notice of a meeting
was promptly and generally circu'
lated, and the settlers attended. uni
formly bringing their rifles to guard
against possible surprises or to OBJ
tain game on the way to or from the
service.
The practice Of carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended eve
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv'
ices were held in Saline county when
the preacher proclaimed the gospel OF
peace with his hand and his clothing
covered with blood from a deer that
he had killed and butchered On his
way to the meeting that morning.
The pioneer preachers lpoored with
out money and without price. They
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors, by the rifle and by their
daily toll in the clearings and the
corn fields.
Rev. Justinian Williams, Methodist
and Rev. Peyton Ncwlin and Rev
Thomas Kinney, Baptists. were the
first preachers in Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek, and
in the Big Bottom. "Old Man Now
lin," as he was called, was a sedate
gentleman, dry as to and ser
mons, but with a kind heart and good
intention.
His colleague. Kinney, however, was
OF a joviai disposition and very pop
ular. He was without literary at
tainments, but invariably provoked hi:
congregation to laughter. Nowlir

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERiNG, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present Tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. It is really more a period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a mean towards precipi-
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and 1t is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered a few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls a~greeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. / am happy to that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the Aigheg t pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. /
have every expectation hat when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $168, $4,000, or
an increase over the year 1912 of
owe S32, 900, 900. Some indication OF
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be CLEANED from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
"The augmentation of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
In its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources Of revenue-excise, post office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the on
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
($23, 900, 000) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be a matter Of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
OF Canada.
Il believe that during this period
OF exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
In the world"
Owing to the favorable state Of It's
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc
