the representative be. Ny visit ia
these church was during big rain and
those who know this place realize what
! it is to get out after a rain. Mt. Zion
| is now without pastor, her pastor
Rev. F. B. Woodland, resigning after 10
years and months Of faithful service.
He has accepted the call to Mt Zion,
Cedar Rapids. This is one Of our best
churches in the state. This church has
had only two pastors in eighteen years,
both resigning. The Tabernacle Baptist
church has always had struggle until
since il called Rev. f. C. Boiling. The
church is progressing both spiritually
and financially.
My next was at Clinton, Iowa. The
Second Baptist church is going nicely,
having recently called Rev. VIM Bates
Of Quincy, Ill, as pastor. This was the
first time of meeting him since have
been field secretary, but he spared no
pains to make it pleasant while in his
city. We welcome such Baptists in our
state. Wednesday morning found my
self tenroute to Davenport, where j
spoke at Third Baptist church that
evening on ssChristian Service. !" The
Rev. f. X. Nichols, the pastor, is one
Of those men who tries to make things
pleasant for representative. Here the
pastor has had the fight of his life. 1t
seems that because the officers and pas
tor uncovered some dishonesty in hand
ling the finances, the fight was waged
against the pastor, though it seems that
the church is with him. The collection
this year is away ahead Of last.
Leaving this point found myself in
Sioux City, Iowa. Here Rev. J. w.
Crushon is pastoring. This being a
rainy night, not over twelve persons
were out, though the collection was ten
dollars. Had it not rained Sioux City
would have gone over the top. The
next night i visited the new church, re-
Gently organized. This was another
raipy point Collection $500.
Thursday morning left for Yankton,
S. D. Here I was met by Rev. Hery-
ford, the pastor. | spoke that night to
about two dozen people. As most OF
them live in the country word did not
reach them. / must say they are loyal
Baptists and willing to give aid to the
cause. Collection $1,000. I left Yank-
ton Friday for Clarinda, Iowa.
On the first Sunday I found myself
worshipping with the Second Baptist
church, Clarinda, Rev. J. II. Reynolds
of Des Moines, Iowa, pastor. He is one
of the young preachers of this state
and promises to be strong preacher.
Here we spoke afternoon to splendid
audience. My lecture seemed to hit the
spot here as everywhere. This is al
most a female church, only one male
member belonging to the church and he
is chairman of the deacon board. This
is the first church ever saw whose OH
GERS are women, deaeons and trustees.
The collection here was $4,000.
On Monday I stopped off at Bedford.
This is a small church, though it has
been the most loyal chruch in orr state
For three or four years this little Sun
day school took the banner. My next
report viii be from Illinois or Ohio.

Fever Sores.

Fever sores and old chronic sores
should not be healed entirely, but should
be kept in healthy condition. This can
be done by applying Chamberlain s
Salve. This salve has no superior for
this purpose. It is also most excellent
for chapped hands, sore ipples, burns
and diseases of the skin.

Bear in mind that Chamberlain s
Tablets not only move the bowels but
improve the appetite and strengthen the

other digestive ferment but strengthen
The stomach and enable it to perform it's
functions naturally.
