Letter From Manchester District

It is with a deep sense of regret
and humility that / write OF the SUD
den departure from our midst or
consecrated man, Dallas NJ WILSON,
Being associated with him since boy
hood. and working with him as broth
or superintendent in leading Wentzs
Union Sunday school the past ~
years, should be evidence enough that
I am capable of writing about mas
noble qualities, and how much he Will
be missed. In his home life, in
tense. active interest in church, pray
er meeting and C. E. meetings, as well
as Sunday school work, he never will
sneIy sEirked his duty. Always de-
nouncing the wrong and defending
the right, his record here on earth is
expressed in a simple but truthful
manner III the words Of an old lady,
ale was a good man" Last Septem-
Der at the close Of our Union s. s.,
we took for q subject to talk and
mediate upon, Coward and upward, :"
until we should meet again as a 8.
s. in the spring. He spoke with deep
feeling to the two score or more menu
bers who were present, directing our
thoughts to the 10y, rapture and rest
in that Heavenly Home after our work
here on earth Is ended. He firmly
believed In doing the "Iittle things"
in this mortal life, which pre-
pares us for the greater life beyond,
which our Saviour has gone to pre-
pare, as recorded in the 18th chap
ter Of st. John.
Again we are forcibly reminded
that there is nothing new under the
sun" when we watched job press in
Anthony's large printing establish
ment in Hanover, print circulars with

OF feeding and taking out the printed
pages being done with mechanically
formed fingers in Systematic and
thorough manner AS they have the
contract for printing millions Of cir
culars for the Genco-Light Co., Ha I

States, 1t will be readily seen that
such labor saving machine is mod

Another invention, not SO compli-
Gated, but surprising, is spring
sleigh, which though built higher than

In writing about the good qualities
of Dallas NJ. Wilson, who was so
suddenly taken from our midst, we
forgot to mention, in 35 years ASSOC
citation with him, can not recall
the instance when he repeated lewd
or. unchaste joke. In St. Matthew
1896. we read, "But l say unto you,
that every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account there
OF in the day of judgment.
Now, since Admiral Peary, who
claims the distinction of having dis
covered the North Pole, died, it is
learned, that about zoo adventures
before him lost their lives in the
same quest, to try to- do what is no
real benefit to mankind.
Despite the high prices, New York
City schools are carrying out the hot
lunch plan successfully. Through
well-laid plans, food is brought to the
different school houses by motor
trucks, and sold at &c for each ar
ticle, making a warm lunch for the
boys and girls, at 10c to 15c each,
many Of them having scanty living
at home
With much regret we read that hum
dreds of pulpits all over the country
are empty, the ministers, some by
force, others by free will, going to
maintain their families in comfort
And yet the command is the same Go
ye and preach the Gospel to all
Nations" The Lord has not chang
ed, but the people have made many
changes that are not for the best.
With putting off thousands of Gov
eminent employees, and nearly one
third million railroad employees, be-
cause the balance want higher wages,
and are willing to do more work to
secure what they want, is a wrong
step, and will cause much suffering.
If only the mass of people could re-
alize what contentment really means,
much of the suffering could be avoid
ed.
Newspapers say that the cost of
building a modern battle ship is
about $20,O00,0O0. If we have Peace,
why waste the large sum for such a
purpose, when so much suffering is
going on around us in these days
Of sickness and high cost of living?

A worldly minister who wants to
gain notoriety, Is causing anxiety, and

Washington, March 2.-While 5Cf
tons of free seeds went merrily on
their way to some 100000 amateur
and professional farmers for planting
this spring, Congress took steps that
may end forever an agricultural Gus
tom established in Colonial days.
The opportunity for saving $240, 900
was too good to resist, and the Senate
Agricultural Committee struck the
item out Of the departments estimates.
There will be no free seeds next year
unless Senators have a change Of
heart.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
"A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due 20 the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; eorrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, y. T.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention tins
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
