Bibles Have Right Of Way.

Ii is somewhat curious fact that the governments of all 6eiligerents have allowed the Bible society to ship it's Bible to and fro.
 Since the var began the Bible so- ciety has supplied somewhere about 5000 900 Scriptures to fighting men. prisoners. wounded. interned civilians, and refugees. and during that time the ordinary work has proceeded-the latest ventures of the committee be- ing the opening of a depot in Abys- slnia and the fitting up Of a floating Bible house to serve the 5e.00Q niles of the great Amazon water system Of South America" says a secretary of the British and Foreign Bible society.
 This interest in the Word Of God fs one of the really bright spots in the present gloomy world situation and the news Of if should gladden and enhearten all whose faces are turned wistfuIly toward the East. waiting for the glimmer ot a dawn that shall usher in Q new and bright ST day"
 Since the outbreak Of hostilities. we are informed. the soeiety's agents have been distributing copies of the Word of God as though no war ex- isted. and. all the depots in the cap itals of the warning nations are still open--even the Turk has not closed the doors Of the depot in Constanti- nople.'

THE GATHERING AT TUNNEL.
Wesleyan Pastor Writes of Recent
Services On tho Mount.

The following clipping from the
wesleyan Methodist church paper has
Deen sent TO us by subscriber with
the request that we reproduce it:
S: S. Gathering at Tunnel.
At the request Of the WESLEYAN
Methodist Sunday school at Walhal-
la, through Brother II. ID. Knox,
Prof. Byars and the writer, visited
them on Sunday, June 10. The Sun
day school had planned to 90 about
six miles above Walhalla to the
Tunnel Just before the Civil War
railroad company began work to
put railroad through from Ander-
son, s. c., to the coal fields in Ten
nessee. They did quite lot Of work
in the mountains above Walhalla, but
on account of the war got short OF
means and hence no more work has
been done on the road. Among some
of the work they did was to put
tunnel part of the way through
Stumphouse mountain. There Is
possibly almost mile Of this tunnel
which Is right through blue granite
rock. The tunnel Is great place for
people to gather on special occasions.
The Sunday school took dinner along
and went upon this mountain for
service. There were many more than
just the Sunday school, and we had a
good time on the mountain top. The
Lord blessed the writer in giving the
message to these people. All during
the message there were good, healthy
"amens.' and tears in the eyes Of
some, which indicated that they we're
entering into the message with the
speaker. Prof. Byars sang some in
spring songs, which the people en-
joyed very much. Immediately af-
ter the services came the dinner, and
when say dinner do not mean war
time dinner. You would not have
known that there was any war by the
dinner that was spread at this time
Many, many were the good things to
eat.
"Blest be the tie that binds our
hearts IN Christian Love" A little
more than four years ago Prof. By
ars and the writer went to Walhalla
to hold meeting. The first week of
the meeting was hard, but God came
to our help the second week, and
about 40 people pra'ed through to
victory, and some 15 Of them Joined
the Wesleyan church, and several OF
them Joined other churches OF the
town. Some Of what we're known as
1.-The hardest cases" we're saved in the
meeting, and it did our hearts good
to find many Of them still true to
God and having bright testimonies
for Him. May the Lord bless the peo-
pie Of Walhalla, and keep them true
to Him until we all meet on the
other side Of the river, where we
shall ever be with the Lord.

STUFF
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS.
Apply Few Drops; Then Lift Corns
or Calluscs or With Fingers.
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a. particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and Is
a compound Of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle Of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle. but is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
family the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all! no
soreness or smarting when applying
1t Or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
1t for you.-AdV.
