put anything in this department that
is not strictly first class. His two
columns must be the most valuable
space in any paper in the county.
The Hired Man was riding with a
| farmer day or two since when the
farmer stopped and pointed out a
small building with half the roof gone.
There is renter living there and he
is burning that roof for kindling. l
have watched board after board dis
appear. Look at the woodpile there"
said the farmer. Sure enough a nice
loot board was going the way of the
kindling trial.
The Hired Man does not know
whether another physician could
make a living in Caldwell. Some of
them have done mighty we'll in the
last ten years, but they have been
mighty good doctors. Some of our
best are such poor collectors they
never get ahead very much. Folks
when sick actually feel like they would
pay the doctor bill first if they could
only get well. When they get will
they do not always feel the same way.
l desire to try out on larger
scale very effective plan of gospel
work that | have used in this region
for several years with gratifying sue
cess. The Tribune makes it possible
for me to do this for it does not
charge me for the use of its columns.
All can do for The Tribune in re-
turn, is to ask friends to remember
it.
In every neighborhood there are a
few real good men who are not in
terested IN their own salvation. For
all such there are friends constantly
praying. If such friends have pray-
ed for any of these men as much as
ten times on ten different days, and

terse comprehensive correspondence
IN relation to his condition, and will
follow 1t UP where | can with per-
sonal visits. l will make my letters
as short as any business letter and
will present Gods claims against him,
right to the point. If you have pray
ed ten times for him, he is worth saw
ing.
If any mother have a daughter and
that daughter has reached the age of
fltteen unsaved, she is in danger. If
the mother has prayed fifty times on
fifty different days for this daughter,
and Will now write me a brief history
and tell me just what she thinks is
holding the girl aloof from Christian
lty, will put her an my correspond
ence list and present her needs care
FULLY and tersely, and undertake to
show her where she is missing the
will OF God toward herself.
It son is unsaved, and mother or
father or sister or brother or friend
have prayed fifty times for him, on
fifty different days, and he is still
lost, if l get brief story of his case
and a reasonable suggestion as to his
condition, | will write him a regular
business letter on his prospects.
II prostitute or drunkard or thief
or liar or a cheat will write me for
aid in the direction of findinp peace
with God, and will make me believe
the letter is in dead earnestess. l
will put that one on my letter list and
will correspond regularly Herewith
until | fail or that one has peace with
God.
If any mother has worried along
with the burdens of this life. has toll,
ed and fretted with the thistles and
thorns until she has lost out on the
peace that passeth all misunderstood
ing and is drifting into the great Be-
yond unsaved, fighting as best she can
the enemies of her soul, if a daughter
or son or husband or friend have
prayed for her fifty times on ffty diff
ferent days, and still long for her sal
walton, will write me briefly the story
of the case, | will commence at once
by mail, presenting to her the call of
God for her soul.
If any boy or girl or man or woman
feel the need of direct and personal
and secret help toward obtaining the
peace of God and the assurance of
his pardon, will write me. l will add
that name to my list of correspond

neglected and bad, will write me
telling me of his exact condition, |
will lock his secret up in my heart
until the God takes it away, and will
write him letter each week until
he is saved from his sins.
If any one of any age need a quiet
retreat for his soul. if he want some
place to tell it all out and seek par
don, / will put him on my letter list.
and point him to a place of rest from
his sins, and nothing but the district
court can unlock the case.
| am aware what this offer means
to me; the day will speedily come in
which l will need to employ a steno-
grapher to write the dictations. am
setting half my time aside from other
duties just to take care of this cor
respondence and its incidental and
necessary work. Every reader of The
Tribune is called upon to respond to
this offer. EVERYWHERE The Tribune
is read let people take up their end
of the correspondence gospel work.
