very serious accident in which he
lost his right leg and foot. it being

knee and ankle.
In the morning Of the same day

loaded, and when near the grade at
Halls Station in Knox county
several cars left the track and were
turned over, smashing them almost
to kindling wood. among them was
car loaded with dyns mite, which
did not explode. which was almost
a miracle. In the evening at the
local yards. while alighting from
his engine Goddard said to the
Conductor, Ed Black to take charge
of the engine. while he went to his
home near by for his lunch, he was
thrown under the wheels. and his
foot and leg amputated in the man
ner spoken Of above. He was rush
ed to the hospital in Knoxville,
where ne was in a critical condition
that night, but now seems to be
rallying from the accident and shock
and it is believed that he will recover.
Engineer Goddard has been on

has been in several wrecks in which
he was injured. He is married and
has one child, little daughter. He
is one of the best men in the employ
of the X. & A., but will hereafter

Of judicial authority and fragrant

Three Countries Visited
by James M. Taylor

Two months of our Fifth Cam :
paign are finished. The Republics
of Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador,
have been reached. A few hundred
people have sought the Lord. One
new mission has been started: the
church frame is already up, and
the roof on. We have put two
native preachers, and one Bible
woman to work. One of the preach
ers is a converted priest, and he is
really on fire for God and souls.
Although we had known much
about the rotteness of RomaEism,
ard had spoken and written of its
Pagan practices and teachings, we
are astonished at the revelations we
are having down here this time.
Our Information comes from such
sources as missionaries, consuls of
our own and other nations, and
from business nen who drink and
carouse with the priests themselves.
But the revelations we depend upon
most are what we see with our own
eyes, and hear with our own ears,
The result Of the three centuries
this people have been und r the
power and influence of these corrupt
leaders of the Roman Catholic
Church is appalling. The readers
of this paper could scarcely believe
what we see and hear.
He is boy twelve years old who
stole his mothers jewelry, and sold
it for money to keep the fallen wo,
man be supported. Only this night
an American consul who has been
in South America for several years
said, "Mr. Taylor, / have only met
one priest who impressed me as be'
ing a clean man, and he was from
the United States, and told me how
he had talked to the other priests
abont keeping SO many women, and
having so many children, but they
just told him he did't know how to
run thinge down here "
The only hope of this people is
the Truth, and they will never hear
it without earnest, toiling mission
aries, who count even their lives
not dear to the m. We covet place
in the most earnest prayers of every
reader Of this good paper that His
blessings may continue to rest on
His word as we preach it. We
have with US now q veteran mission
ary of the Methodist Church who
has been mobbed on two occasions,
and in both cases the Roman priest
raised the mob The priest and
not the people hate missionaries
and the Bible. When the Light
once breaks in, Romanism never
again.
Inform your ntighbors about
these conditions by writing to the
publisher for few samples of this
issue of the paper. Write a card to
me al my home address, S07 Deery
Street, Knoxville, Tennessee, and
ask for free package Of tracts on

The Advertiser

| am an advertiser!
In letters bold
The praises of my wares | sound,
Prosperity is my estate;
The people come,
The people go,
In one continuous,
Surging flow.
They buy my goods and come again
And I'm the happiest of men;
And this the reason l relate,
I'm an advertiser great!
There is a shop across the way
Where ne'er is heard human tread,
Where trade is paraliZed and dead,
With ne'er customer day.
The people come,
The people go,
But never there.
They do not know
There's such shop beneath the skie1,
Because he does not ADVERTISED
While | with pleasure contemplate
That I'm an advertiser great.
The secret of my fortune lies
In one small fact, which l may state
Too many tradesmen learn too late,
If | have goods, advertise.
Then people come

And people go
In constant streams,
For people know
That he wLo has good wares 10 sell
Will surely advertise than well,

Adown on the paths of life.

On the scenes OF joy and strife.

given the greater part OF my time In
the last thirty years. to the study of
farm, labor. improvements. and short

or thirteen years since I first called
attention to the draw and harrow COM
cined. At first made several with
roller attachment The roller was
hitched 20 the harrow. But after
using this one season, I come to the
conclusion that the drag. when proper
ly weighted answered for the roller.
