Former Christian Church Pastor.


A. H. Stahl leaves Maysville, Ky"
church, after a service of love of over
seven years, to accept the work at
North Canton Ohio We can't begin
to tell all he has done with Gods and
our help, but he led the way, paid off
all past debts, established the individ-
ual communion service, duplex system,
Living Link, put on two big revival
campaigns in tobacco warehouses
which awakened the whole country
round about. Fife Brothers assisted in
one and Herbert Yeuell in the other.
Bible school leads in the city in every
way, gives more money than they ever
did by twice and always have about
5000 in treasury.
Brother Stahl was known as the
marrying parson for he was always
marrying folks from everywhere, but
he would not go against the Book in
this regard. Three hundred made the
good confession while he was there,
IL of whom came in the last week; two
of them were young Cinnamon who
had attended the Bible school and
we're taught the way of life and knew
what they were doing. This good pas
tor looked after the country church
and kept it alive when there was no
preacher, by holding meetings for
them. He spent $4,000 On improve
'ment on building and put in motion a
fund to build modern Bible school in
rear of the church. He is every inch
man helping to scrub out building
when the flood receded, also at fires
in the town with the other men, doing
the small things, yet big. He is and
was always on the job, visiting the
sick the new corners, the infirm, get
ting up socials for the young, and he
is especially strong with men and
young men. On every moral issue he
took the lead in the county and spoke
in every precinct He does not chew
nor smoke tobacco; he has wonder
full spirit, gentle, strong and always
under control. even under adverse cir
cumstances. He is living preacher OF
the Word and can preach, we think
equal to most any man. He has tact
is an organizer and as to finances, the
church in the first time in years is out
of debt in every way.
The brethren at North Canton are
sure lucky in getting him to come back
to Ohio with his delightful wife and

BILIOUS CHILDREN
Black raught, Long in Successful
Use, Praised by an Arkansas
Mother, ''Soon Does
Its Work."

Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking Of
Thedford's Black-Draught, which from
long use in her household has become
regarded as "the family medicine"
Mrs. Mary e. Hill, of Route l, this
place, says:
When the children get bilious,
give them a couple of good doses, and
when we have sour stomach, headache,
or any liver or stomach trouble, we
use Black-Draught. 1t is an easy laxa-
tive, and soon does the work. I GER
tainly think it is one of the best rem
edies made"
Black-Draught acts on the faded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
it in its important function of throw
ing out waste materials and poisons
from the system.
In thousands of. households Black
Draught is kept handy for immediate
use in time of need. Prompt treatment
often is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing in
to serious troubles.
Its well-established merit, during
more than 70 years of successful use,
should convince you of the helpful
effects obtainable by taking Black
Draught for liver and stomach dis
orders. Get a package today, and
keep it in your house. See that
the package bears the words,

Several theories have been advanced
to explain the rims that close exami-
nation shows on the scales of fishes.
The favOrite theory Is that they de-
note the age Of the fish-a ring to a
year. like the rings that show the age
OF a tree. Psychologists in cany Eu-
ropean countries ha made a careful
study of the matter and have deemed
1t of enough importance to make 1t
the subject Of a report published as a
British bluebook. They hold that the
scales do tell with near approach to
accuracy the age of salmon and her.

Origin of Freemasonry Unknown

Origin of Freemasonry Unknown.
The society of Free Masons ante
dates all other societies by centuries.
It's origin is so ancient that the place
and time of its birth are unknown.
Its legend say that it was organized
1T The building of the temple of Solo
mon, but this is not accepted with
much credence. BY some writers it's
origin has been ascribed to the
Dfuids, by others to the Knights
Templar and to Pythagoras, and it
has not escaped the fad which in mod
ern times has attributed so many
of the uncertain productions to the
nimble brain of Sir Francis Bacon.
Within recent years traces of the
organization are said to have been
discovered in Palestine or the Egyp,
tan obelisks and in the pyramids.
In fact, it has been asserted that in
re%tgators have become satisfied
hat the society grew directly from
an organization engaged in the con-
Struction of the pyramids.
