J. w. 3UCKALEN AND WIFE, EVAN
GELISTS.
Rev. j. w. RHckalcw returned to
Alabama City in August, 1905, and
opened another series Of meetings
with others of his followers to assist
him. AS be fore the rougher element
of the city tried to break the lettings
up. Or. rs BNcHalew said. The
devil got very ma! and tried to stop
our preaching" And minister s.
sisted it, the work, but net with Sc
little success he finally gave it up.
Relating to this incident Buckalew
has written the following:
We met the giants of the land, they
were so great AID tai:
We pursued them with the sword of

And, oh, 1t is sublime
The successful meetings he term
ed "a great down sweep of God 5
power;' and Alabama City he called
the headquarters of the devil. "
One night at the close of the meet
ing he and his wife were rotten.egg-
ell. But we stood and took it, The
said, and shouted for JOY because
we were considered worthy to suffer
shame for Jesus sake" Then he
continued: The eggs did not hit
me, but they sure did saturate sister
'Buckalew from head to foot and
ruined her clothes: but she praised
the Lord and gave Him glory"
Herein. is where the Holiness peo-
pc may differ from other religious
creeds. They are no more in their
glory than when suffering martyrdom
or other indignities for the protec.
ton of their belief. And the great
err the abuse heaped upon them the
more they praise the Lord. But this
last act of lawlessness only helped to
turn the tide in their favor. Larger
crowds attended the meetings AND

To Our Advertisers

We believe in a new, live paper
each week. New not only in reading
matter but in advertising as well.
Old ads. seldom changed is a detri-

reader. New ads. appearing each
week are always read-read as much
as the local matter. Then they count.
You furnish us the new copy each
week. We will furnish the compost

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1915.

Myrtle Berry Green, who has been
around the county collecting sub
scriptions on the Essex County Her
aid, was doing it in the interest of
the former owner Of the paper. We
had nothing to do whit. Not until
our readers have seen two or three
issues of the paper under our
management will we mention sub
scriptions. Then we will gladly
welcome all the new names we can
get, and the payment and renewals
of all those who are in arrears.

The Little Red Auto.

There is one thing about our little
red auto worthy of notice. Railways
stops if there is trouble with its in
tegral parts. And it picks out its
own stopping place. No matter how
urgent the case, or how much we
desire to reach a certain point, I'M
less its digestive organs are in per-
feet condition, its temperature nor
NAL, and its heartbeats regular, it
simply refuses to go. So when it
stopped its pulsations six miles this
side of Island Pond the other morn
ing, and we had an engagement on
our new charge, the Essex County
Herald, at l | o'clock, we knew some
thing out of the ordinary had taken
place. For some time its pulse had
not been beating regular, so when it
stopped we went through the usual
preliminaries of examination to inter-
pref the cause. Sure enough Three
screws had gone from,,the cover of
the crank shaft, and the fourth was
half way turned up. No wonder the
auto refused to work. How could
it with all its bronchial tubes expos
ed to the open air?
While trying to restore its vitality
people began to pass by. At no time
are so many people out on parade
as when ,soE are held up beside the
road. And in the generality of
cases it is at time when you prefer
to be alone to commune with your
own thoughts. They notice your
perplexity, sympathize with your pa
tent, and ask you about all THE
symptoms. Said one, Held up

Not single thing. Just oiling up

leave was like trying to move gran
lite wall. He was there to stick,
and stick he would, until he moved
of his own accord. They continued
to preach out in the sun without the
tent, and the congregations, admir-
ing his pluck, still continued to
increase. So they patched up and
reset the tent, filled it every night,
remained there for two weeks long,
er, and came out victorious in the
end.
After series Of nee .ings in diff
ferent towns, in one of which he
said, two bad girls were convert
ed" in another, +" revival was start
ed through a man being struck by
lightning" and in still another, a
man who started for the altar, turn
ed back, went out, knelt down, and
shot himself" we finally find him in
Columbus, Miss, where he said he
met with the strongest opposition
and the largest mosquitoes of the
whole course. Of the latter he said
he had to burn all his old socks to
squelch them, and as to the opposi
ton he got along with that all right
until he preached against tobacco.
Then committee called upon him
and asked him to stop it as he was
hurting the sale of it with the mer-
chants. As usual he would not stop,
but continued to preach against the
evil, and n-the end the people sided
with him. So did the merchants.
And when he went away, after four
weeks of preaching, it was the mer-
chants teams that moved him to the
station, and it was the merchants
who presented them with bananas
and other fruits to eat on the train.
Returning to Cordova they preach
ed from house to house, a form of
preaching known as cottage meet
ings." Here deacon asked him to
preach in the Baptist church the
same church from which they had
turned him out. The deacon's plan
was for protracted series of meet
ings in which they would read a
chapter from the Bible, sing, and
have prayers. Then, after leaving
the meeting open for all those who
desired to talk, and all had finished,
Buckalew was to take advantage of
the time to rise and preach. He
was no to do this until on a Monday
night, the meetings having started
the Sunday before. And on this
Monday night it was understood that
the Holiness people were to be there.
So when the time arrived, and he
arose and preached, and the Holiness
, p ,ople acted in tfe,r usual way, the
Baptist people could not understand
it, but looked startled and scared
at their way of doing it, and many
of them got up and left the church. ="
The next night the Baptist people
went from house to house to turn
the people against them. So the
next night only the saints and a few
others were found at the church.
This was Buckalew's last meeting in
the Cordova Baptist church.
ITO be continued.

Thought He Could Fight Booze.

Do you remember Thomas @. Sea-
brooke? All the older theater
goers do. Not fifteen years ago he
was the greatest comedian on the
American stage, if not in the world.
He was to comedy what Jefferson
and Mansfield were to the higher
dramatic art.
But Thomas Seabrooke died the
other day in a miserable howell in
the rear of a lot in Chicago on
which a saloon fronted the street.
He died in delirium tremens. For
the past five or six years even his
intimate friends hesitated to speak
his name. He himself, with a
spark of the old genius feebly fam

I'll never take another drink as

white-aproned fellow who sells him
the poison. Nobody has so much
contempt for a drunkard as has
the average saloonkeeper. Too Of
ten this contempt is shared by
others, but it is unjust. There
should be only pity. Along with
the pity should be a desire to help
in every way possible direct and
indirect means. Many cases cannot
be helped. Their ruin is complete
before anyone thinks of helping. If
the evil were to stop with the ruin
already wrought there would be
need of action, but it will go on as
long as the traffic continues.
Bright-faced, happy boys of today

Why is He a Total Abstainer.

One of the best known men in
Ohio, man who has been in the
public for many years, and is especi-
ally noted for his talent in public
speaking, told friend recently why
he had become a total abstainer.
We give the incident in his own
language.

that if | took a few stiff drinks be-

that if drink had that effect upor

We can find out who the woman was
who called to see Vantine tOnight-that
is just a case of grilling Rogers; then
we can run her down and get her Sc
cret out of her. We can find why ROg-
ers is trying to shield her. All that is
comparatively simple. But we don't
want to know these things. What we
want to know is how Philip Vantine
and this unknown Frenchman were
killed And that is just the one thing
which. / am convinced. neither the
man nor the woman nor Rogers nor
anybody else we have come across in
this case can tell us. There's a per-

even suspected yet, and which, 1 am

case it will make, Lester!' he cried.
'Then you see it too? I questioned.

chair again. "a man would be blind
