Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY A Successful Revival Sunday night brought to a close at the First Baptist church, one of the most successful revivals that has been held in the city of Metropolis for many years. The meeting was conducted beginning preaching Tuesday night March 15, by Rev. J. F. Drane, of Bowling Green, Ky. Rev. Drane was a wonderful speaker, and certainly delivered some strong sermons while in the city. Each night regardless of the weather there was always a large crowd out to hear this able Minister, and both saints and sinners certainly regretted to see him leave the city. He made a lasting impression on our citizens here. He left Monday for his home. During the revival there were 4 conversions, 1 addition to the church and One Hundred Four Dollars and Ninety cents raised. RAMBLINGS St. Louis Mo. March 14, 1921. Editor Gazette: Since our last issue we have made the following places and visits: Last: Friday night we visited Lovejoy. Ill. and was the special guest of Rev. and Mrs. Gaines who is pastor of Corinthian Baptist church. I found them closing out a great revival with 41 additions 25 for Baptism and several joined other churches. They raised $66.66 during the meeting. Rev. E. Cook of East St. Louis assisted in the meeting. We find Rev. Gaines doing a great work at this church. They will soon occupy the basement of their new church recently constructed. We spent two nights at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Gaines and was highly cared for during our stay in the city. We preached for his congregation Sunday night and the people were very attentive during our discourse, but will not say they were much enthused over the sermon, as the meeting of both the fore-noon and after-noon were high spiritual. There were 10 Ministers present in the afternoon, and we assisted the pastor administering the Lord's Supper. Sunday morning we preached for Mt. Olive Baptist churc East St. Louis, in the absence of Rev. C. Nicholson, pastor, who was off on his vacation, Rev. J. T. Sanders, a young minister, acting pastor, treated us royally. We took dinner at the home of Bro. and Sis. Ira Buchanan formerly of Metropolis. We are pleased to find him the clerk of the church, while his father Wm. Buchanan, is a deacon. They are highly respected, and their work appreciative by the members. We stopped while in the city with Mr. and Mrs. John Jefferson on N. 11th street and found them doing nicely. We visited the place of business of Mr. Hezekiah Cook, 23 North 10th street and found he and wife doing a splendid business, also Mr. Thos. A. Dean, proprietor of the Square Deal restaurant, both are readers of the Gazette. On Monday we were joined by Supt. of missions Rev. H. E. McWilliams whose headquarters are in Chicago, and looks after General Baptist State Association of Ill. and he and I visited the St. Louis, mo. Baptist minister's Alliance at Tabernacle Baptist church of which Dr. S. A. Mosley is pastor. We received an introduction and given an invitation to come again when in the city. We then called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Clay, the latter being a cousin, where we had supper monday at 5 p. m. and after a short stay, we left East St. Louis where we returned to Springfield arriving there at 12 p. m. Rev. H. E. McWilliams, preached at New Hope Baptist church Springfield Sunday. Rev. W. Henry Snowden, has resigned the pastorship and has accepted the call of a Baptist church at Jacksonville, Ill. I find the pastors and churches that we have visited doing well considering the hard times that have struck this country. Rev. B. M. Hurd, of E. St. Louis, has resigned after 19 years of service. We were informed that there were 39 Baptist churches and missions in East Saint Louis. Rambler. House of Mystery Must Be Vacated After next Saturday the "house of mystery" at 1920 North Ninth street will once more be vacant. Its unfortunate tenants will be force to leave the city by that time on account of the complaints which have been received from time to time against them. Mrs. Lula Blankenship and her six chi'dren have been termed "undesirables" by the court, and Officer J. K. Ewing of the St. Clair Connty Humane Society has been instructed to pay their transportation elsewhere. "The house of mystery" has had a traditional background of ill luck and sorridness attached to it which has become famous in East St. Louis history. Its present occupants have lived there in the greatest squalor for some months past. The woman was deserted not long ago by her husband and left with the six children, ranging from 3 to 15 years of age. They have been cramped in two small rooms, where they have suffered the ravages of filth and disease and have lived in general squalor. They were just recently released from smallpox quarantine. The family will remove to Metropol's their former home, where the mother believes that she can obtain employment, and where she hopes also to encounter her husband, who abandoned his family. A Great Hailstorm. On Tuesday night between 8:30 and 9 o'clock one of the greatest hailstorms ever seen. happened in this little city. Late in the afternoon it began getting cloudy, any many predicted rain, and later it did rain and hail also. The hail was as large as the largest size marbles you buy, and just a solid ball of ice. Some of our oldest citizens say it was the largest hail they have ever seen. It did considerable damage all over town. In nearly every house in Metropolis you pass you can see three and four window panes out where the hail beat them out. The storm, what it did, and who felt the effects of it, was the topic of the day Wednesday. The business section of the city felt its effects greatly too. A Chart of Conduct A prominent merchant of New York City carried these rules of conduct in his pocketbook, accompanied by a memorandum to this effect: "Read these rules at least once a week." Sparks From The Field By C.C. Phillips, Supt. of Mis Every thing looks favorably to the Evanston meeting which is staged to come off on Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in May. Pastors and churches seem to look well to that end. It was our to attend the Women's Executive Board which met with the Paul Chapel Baptist church Mrs. M. B. Taylor Colp and her staff did some timely work. Six circles were heard from namely: Golconda, Dewmaine, Carbondale, Marion, Centralia and Mt. Vernon. We sundayed with Rev. J. D. Davis' congregation Marion. The church and auxiliaries are doing a great work. We attended the largest B. Y. P. U. that we have attended in this end of the state. Mrs. Mattie North is Pres. The board of the Mt. Olive Association is to meet with the St. John Baptist church Mounds. It is to be regretted that the Med. did not call it say about Wednesday or Thursday, much time could have been given to the preaching of the gospel. As a rule the brethern usually leave for their charges on Satnrday; Thus you see pastor Norment and his people cannot enjoy the benefit because the time is too short. However, we are not finding fault with the Modr., nor no one else, as he did we guess what he that best, and we must make the best of it. We have been called upon to hold 3 meetings but we have been indis-Posed to serve but we are getting on our feet once more, and with the Lord to help us we will redeem the time as best we can. Eld. H. J. Norden and his good people are looking forward to carring for the East Mt. Olive Ass'n next Aug. A great time will be had in Carrier Mills, unless something unforeseen hinders. We said in an artillce respecting Union Meeting in the Gazette, among other thing 'That there were common grounds upon which christians, could do service for the Master and it is alright whre it can be done without doing violence to the devine injunction. But the last part of the declaration was left out. We hope when the editor wishes to make changes in our remarks he will consult us or leave it out altogether. It may be that the editor knows better what we ought to say than we do, but we know what we want to say better than anybody. P.S. Dr. Phillips we wish to beg your pardon for anything that was left out in your article, it was unintentionally done rather than intentionally. Sometimes we find your articles not plainly written, and if there any changes made, we were simply trying to print what we thought you had on your manuscript or what we thought you meant Notice To the Brother and Sisterhood that go to make up our great General Missionary Baptist Association of Illinois. My dear co-workers:—It is now less than three months of the time of the setting of our Great Association at Evanston, Illinois, and this comes as a reminder to the constituents, that if we would succeed, we must renew our devotion energy, and enfluence to the cause which it is, or should be, the dearest to every Baptist in the state, viz. to help build a permanent structure on the everlasting foundation laid by Jesus Christ, to spread the gospel in all the world. Such a work calls for a united effort of the Baptist of the State, yea and the Nation as well. First shall the Baptist of our great Association do her best to take care of every phase of the work assigned us by our great Captain? I trust so. Since love is the test of Dicipleship, and obedient service is the Harvest fruit of our love, I am asking that there be no lack of service on our part, to make our coming session at Evanston, a great Harvest. I am asking that we set our financial standard at Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars cash, for the work at Evanston in May. This will be a very small amount for the Baptist of Illinois to give, and since a nation is not born in one day, I am asking that we make this improvement over the past, then realizing how easy it was done, and no one left hurt, or hungry, will enable us to encourage our Baptist Zion to continue to go forward. My dear pastor's to make this improvement in our state, somebody else must be interested between the settings besides the Moderator, President and the two Corresponding secretaries. I know that success comes to them that wait, but it is to them to work while they wait. I am making myself responsible for $200 00 of the twenty five hundred dollars that I am asking for at Evanston. Will be glad to have a line from any of the constituents advising us for the best interest and success of own state association. All roads lead to Evanston next May. W. P. Washington.

NOW is the time buy land in western Nebraska and eastern Colorado. Because, many owners of large tracts, bought in years gone by, are splitting up their holdings and selling off small farms at prices which make a man who is anxious to secure a good farm sit right up and take notice. These deeded lands, excellent for mixed farming and dairying, are located near growing communities in the midst of the West's prosperity. Again, quite a few 320 acre homesteads in Wyoming, which have been patented and and title secured, are being placed on the market at prices ranging as low as $15 00 per acre. This is the first time in years that good land located near the C. B. & Q. R. R. could be bought for anything like this price. 5,000 families settled in these regions last spring. Neither the railroad nor myself have any lands for sale, but we are tremendously interested in securing dependable, permanent neighbors. Pointers which I have gained from years of experience in locating farmers in this country are yours for the asking. Which location suits you best and how much can you in vest? S B.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh hat deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicino, Circulars free. All Druggists, 76e. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a churroh or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow, orphan and the poor, How dwelleth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the worthy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches feels they are exempt from this responsible duty if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistake as Jesus has said. "The poor you have always as much as to say. You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, If some of the so-called church members, and would be christians would drink Jess "White Mule" Wine of Pepsin and the many kindred home made brews, and help the poor among them there would be a great deal of happiness in the world and the church.

GONDEMN HIGH PRICED STOCK FOODS Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices Charged Are Unwarranted-Makes His Own Food With Better Results "That he is all through paying fancy prices for stock foods and hog remedies and that he is raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market" was the statement made recently by E. H. Beckstead, Well known hog raiser and authority on live stock. Mr. Beckstead's, hogs are the envy of his neighbors, and have "topped the market" for several years in Iowa. He states that for years he bought high priced hog foods and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the secret of his wonderful success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrated minerals and costs only a couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hundred pounds. All hogs, and especially brood sows require minerals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of condition, and are essential to the hogs growth and a well balanced ration. This expensive mixture placed in a sheltered box where the hogs can get it when they need it, will produce for better results than any high priced so called stock foods. Send two dollars to the Mineraline Chemical Co., 1628 North Wells St. Chicago, Ill. and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraline to make a full hundred pounds. (Adv.)
