S- The program for the State Sunday School and Baptist Young People's Union will appear in our next week's issue "Speak the Truth in Love." Dr. C. C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill. We sent an article to the Metropolis Gazette, some time ago under the abve caption respecting the State Convention taking over 50 Free Will Baptist churches without a change of f i h. Dr. Olive pastor of the First Baptist church 16 h Sr, Cairo, by implication says that it is not so. In the same article of Jan. 20th in the Baptis. Truth by declaration that it so. The matter is not to be taken seriously, but in as much as he is the Moderator of the so called Z on association and is posing himself as a regular Missionary Baptist Minister. The six or eight Baptist churches in and around Cairo, and the one at Harrisburg, shall not remain in the dark if they wish to have the light. It will be remembered that they claimed to have 29 Twenty Nine of the best churches in the State, about this time last year. Whether there be ohe, two or three they shall know the truth. As to his personal feelings at us misrepresentations, they fall beneath our notice. The question to be settled is did the State Convention take over 50 Free Wills without a change of faith. Dr. Olive denies this by saying or asking the following question, Is the Assertion True? "Out of his own mouth, and from his own pen we will judge him. He says. The facts are the Free Wills referred to of themselves refused to come in MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." M. B. a body. (Mark his words) and the matter was referred to each individual church, and each church acted on the matter of going into Missionary Baptist (churches) Dr. Olive says, they did not go in a body, but referred the matter to each individual church. What difference does it make as to whether they come in a body, or come in single, double, trilpe, or guardruple or tentfold. The question is not whether they came in a body or single, but as to whether or not they came without a change of faith. This is but a silly subterfuge, to delude the Baptist. Let common sense reason here. If the matter was taken up with every Free Will church what was the proposition before the churches? It is reasonable to suppose it was this: We can go over to the Missionary Baptist church without being baptized. They will accept of our open communion, and our Minister's can pastor the Missionary Baptist churches, without being ordained. We can preach the doctrine of falling from grace all we want too, and that will be alright with the Missionary Baptist churches. We can even practice open communion. There was nothing else for them to do but come. They did not have to sacrifice one principle, but on the other hand the State convention and the Baptist that associate with her surrenders all, that is dear to the denomiaction. The doctrine as held by the New Testament Baptist, are blood bought. When one justly considers the question he will rightly decide, that the Free Wills taken over the Free Will convention instead of the convention of the convention taking over the 50 Free Will Baptist churches; 50 Free Will Baptist churches taken over the convention This is what is properly style: the tail wagging the dog Dr. Olive says they have repented, and have been baptized but they do not believe in the perseverance of the saints, nor the doctrine of restricted communion, (Church Communion) and anyone objecting them coming to the Missionary Baptist is either insane or a down right hypocrite. If anyone doubts this strange language, let them read The Baptist Truth, of Jan. 20, or perhaps the next issue. The First Baptist church Cairo, should should call on the Dr. to explain just what he means by this language. We are quite willing for the reader to be the judge as to who it is that is afflicted with insanity, or hypocrisy. We take the high ground to say that there has not been a law given in revelation to Baptism since the cannon of revelation received its final amen. Which was given out from Olivet brow, when he said to the apostle whose membership was in the church at Jerusalem to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, and he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. But Dr. Olive has jumped into that crowd that says it does not make any difference who performs the rite of Baptism just so they repent and believe. The national controversy, has no part in this matter since the courts of Tennessee have settled the matter to the sorrow, discredit, and disgrace of the Dr. Morris incorporated convention. Here the Dr, is attempting to kick up a dust and hide behind it by injecting something into this controversy that has already been settled. Qui reply to what he has said is just simply to show his church and his association how he stands on the question of the New Testament doctrine. But if he wishes to discuss the question with us, let him get the state or N. B. Convention behind him as a true representative, of their cause, and we will take up the matter with him. As a man is, so is his strength. To the Voters Fellow Citizens of Metropolis: Since announcing myself as a candidate for the office of Mayor, there seems to be some objections to my fitness to successfully fill the office by reason of my age, in view of which fact I beg to refer my friends and all others interested to the results of my work as President of the School Board, any member of the Board or the Superinten- dent who served with me I think will cheerfully furnish any information respecting the matter that may be required. We are soliciting the support of the voters of Metropolis strictly upon our motits irrespective of the tuition of any parties. Hence, we not propose to trammel ourselves in any way. Since we have no other business to absorb our attention, we feel fully justified in assuring our supporters of our being able to devote our entire time to the best interests of the people of this city Sincerely Yours, Dr. J. A. Neville. RAMBLINGS Editor Gazette. Metropolis. Ill. According to our weekly custom we rambled some last week. We spent Friday in East St. Louis at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Jefferson and spent a very pleasant day and night. The former had arrived on Wednesday from Metropolis, where he had been to visit his aunt Miss Arie Gatewood who he reported to be somewhat improved from her recent illness. we left E. St. Louis. Saturday morning at &14 for Sparta, via M. and O. R. R. on our annual visit to the New Hope Baptist church and Pastor P. B. French. We arrived there at 10:19 and was met at the depot by Mr. Ernest Taylor, son of J. J. Taylor our old friend and was conducted to his home where we found Miss Taylor, the charming daughter and sister on the lookout for us. While we chatted with Brog. Taylor with whom we stopped while in the city, the young lady soon prepared an elegant dinner for us and with this ont of the way and our appetite satisfied, our hostess and 1 started on a tour of the city, especially those with whom our people are conducting. The entire after-noon was spent along this line of procedure. Our first stop was at the Ideal Grocefy Co. a co-operative store incorporated by Negro capitol with Wm. Macklin President and Prof. Allen, Atty. as its business managers. We find this store located in one of the prominent business blocks of the city along side and in front of some of the leading white merchants of the city. close to the Bank and P. O. We spent some time in this place met several of our old friends, both women and men, formed new acquaintances as there were many people from Alabama and Missouri in this city who are ployed in the mines, and seem to be highly progressive with a great deal of the Southern racial enterprise which has a great bearing on people there to set a new pace for racial uplift. We found Prof. Allen and his clerks so busy looking after the wants of their large patronage until he could not find the time to talk with us very much. We wish to state here they have a large stock of fresh groceries consisting of several thousand dollars and it is a pleasure to us to say that it is one or the neatest groceries in the city one patronized by both races. This speaks well for the management, stock holders and customers. This same corpora is conducting a first class restaurant and ice cream parlor in another part of the city, not the kind that Negroes usually conduct but a real sanitary one with first class service. We find the best of feelings existing between the two rages of this enterprising little city such as exist between the two races of Metropolis. We hope the members of our race coming from the South will not conduct themselves in a way so as to bring a breech between the races as is often the case, as we hope that this friendly relationship as herefore existed will be undisturb and they will be allowed to continue to do business side by side. We will have more to say in the future about the enterprising Negroes of Sparta. We called ed on Sisters Malinda Foster and T. C. Owens members of our New Hope Baptist church, who are confined to their rooms. offered prayer and gave them words of encouragement and found them in good spirits. Sunday was a very unfavorable day, but we found a few at Sunday School and we enjoyed the services. Rev. P. B. French the pastor made us welcome and we found him wide awake along the work of the district, State and National work and is pushing the work forward. He has a strong force behind him and we expect to see a new church building here in a short time. SEES TURKISH RULE AMUSING English Author Finds Funny Side to Life in Jerusalem Under the Crescent. The tradition of Turkish rule in Palestine as one finds it in Jerusalem is simply a joke, declares G. K. Chesterton in his book, "The New Jerusalem." All the stories about it are jokes and often very good jokes. My own favorite incident is that which is still commemorated in the English cathedral by an enormous hole in the floor. The Turks dug up the pavement looking for conceived British artillery, because they had been told that the bishop had given his canons to two cinnons. The bishop had, indeed, recently appointed two canons to the service of the church, but he had not secreted them under the floor of the chancel. There was another agreeable incident when the Turkish authorities, by an impulsive movement of religious toleration, sent for a Greek priest to bury Greek soldiers, and told him to take his choice in a heap of corpses of all creeds and colors. But at once the most curious and the most common touch of comedy is the perpetual social introduction to solid and smiling citizens who have been nearly hanged by the Turks. The fortunate gentleman seems still to be regarding his escape with a broad grin. If you were introduced to a polite Frenchman who had come straight from the guillotine, or to an affable American who had only just vacated the electrical chair, you would feel a faint curiosity about the whole story. If a friend introduced somebody saying, "My friend Robinson, his sentence has just been commuted to penal servitude," or "My Uncle William, just come from Dew prison," your mind would faithfully form the silables "What and evidently, under Turkish rule, being hanged was like being knocked down by a 'ab; it might happen to anybody. HARBOR FOR SHIPS OF AIR Artist Has Given Us Picture of Probability of the Not Far Distant Future. Something very unique in the way of a terminal station for future traveling is suggested in Flight. It is a picture by Roderie Hill showing an aerial terminus, or the "White Moonline," raised aloft over a seaport. It is not a flat airdrome situated on the surface, but a huge circular structure which towers far above the tallest buildings of the city. On its topmost circumference, platforms swing on a circular railed bed are carried by two rotating arms on which aero liners light and from which they take off. On the left on this great tower is a passenger elevator with two cars carrying passengers to and from the embarking level. Inside this structure is a huge elevator for lowering the aero liners for refitting and repair, and in its mysterious depths we can picture workshops lit by flickering are lamps, where hundreds of mechanics work busy day and night. With such terminal as this, the future industrial magnates will be looking up at their captains as each in his respective craft draws near to exchange or deposit the cargo in his care, and then it will be that the dreamer of today will behold the fulfillment of his vision.

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 cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the m=cous 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 Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and negdy. If a churoh 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 less "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.

SAY SHE IS CURED OF BREAST CANCER Herrin, Ill., woman Tells of Healing by Dr. O. A. Johnson, Specialist, of Kansas City, Mo. After being treated for Cancer of the breast, without the use of the knife, Mrs. Robert Nealson, Herrin, Ill. wrote as follows to Dr. O. A. Johnson, noted cancer specialist of Kansas City, Mo. "Your treatment and skill has meant so much to me that I want to tell others about it. "At the time I went to you I was afflicted with with a large cancerous growth in the breast, of about two inches wide and six inches long. The disease had been developing for about three years, and it had reached a stage where it was causing me a great deal of suffering. "After you had made a thorough examination of my case, I did not feel very much encouraged when you told me that it had developed to such an extent that you would have to place me in the doubtful case. However, I did appreciate the fact that you wanted to be honest with me and did not want to hold out false hopes for a cure. "I am glad to be able to say to you and to the world today that so far as I am able to tell at this time your treatment of my case was a complete success." The above was written to Dr. O. A. Johnson, Suite 565, 1324 Main St. Kansas City, Mo., the physician who treated Mrs. Nebeeb so successfully. Dr. Johnson is perhaps the best informed man in the United States today on cancer. He conducts a large institution for the treatment of cancer, in connection with is also maintained a laboratory for scientific cancer research. Thousands of cases have been investigated and treated in the past twenty years. This treatment is entirely non-surgical. Purely medicinal measures only are employed; that is, external applications to destroy the cancer and internal medication to purify the blood. Dr. Johnson has published a most interesting book called "Cancer Truths" being a statement of his theories and experiences in treating cancer. This will be sent gladly to any cancer sufferer, or if you have a friend afflicted with that disease, get the book for him. Simply address Dr. O. Johnser; Suite 565, 1324 Main St, Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Pastors, and Churches, composing the General Aassociation of Illinois. This comes to say my tours through the Southern parts of the State in the interest of our State work has met with much success, yea beyond my anticipation. The brethren where I have been have met me with open doors, hands and hearts, and the interest that is being manifested for our State Work has been an eye opener to me, since I have been out for our State work. May God bless the brethren so the good work may go on. But listen Brethren, I regret very much that I cannot come to all of my brethren and do justice to my own pastorate, and yet, I must reach you some way before our meeting in Evanston. May next. So I am trying to reach you by this letter to say I am asking all of the churches that are affiliating with our State Association to give your humble servant at least a five or ten dollar hearing if I get there in person, and if I cannot get there in person but come thru the mail please give me the same consideration as if I were there in person. I am doing what I can to make our next meeting a financial success. May I have your cooperation? God bless all for everymore. W. P. Washington? Administrator's Notice. Esiate of Mary P.

CONDEMN HIGH PRIGED 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 tukes 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 inexpensive 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., 1638 North Wells St. Chicago, Ill. and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraline to make a full hundred pounds. (Adv.) Indian Summer. The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other sea-sons of the year. What causes the distinctive feature of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the (eight of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Money Long In Use Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are hended to all bridegrooms as they rive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid Her Instructions.
