' Children Cry for Pitcher' Castorla. A LETTEE AND ITS AB3WEB. Stillwater, June 26 Rev. Mr. Houtz. I Dear SiR : There are several per sons in the vicinity who desire to hear you and Elder Singer discuss the ques tion as to whether sprinkling is bap tism. Mr. Singer will affirm, that Im mersion is the baptism commanded by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Will you deny it ? Will vou afhrm that sprinkling water onthe person in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy inost is Scriptnral Baptism? Mr. Singer will deny it. Two persons have agreed to give you $10.00, to do so. sour own members requested me to write this. Name your time and place. Yours truly, W. L. McIIenry. reply. Dear Sir : While I personally cher ish the most kindly feelings toward you and yonr father's family, I must con fess that you have been inveigled into a most ungainly muddle and delusion You say, several persons in this vicin ity desire to hear Elder Singer and I discuss the subject of baptism and that you wrote your letter at the re auest of mv members. Why did not those "several persons" or "my mem bers" (?) themselves speak to me or write to me about the matter, as they had every opportunity ? They undoubted ly felt the impropriety of such a course I would advise you as a young man hereafter to let the originators of a pro ject like this assume the responsibility themselves. Your letter undoubtedly was intend ed to be a challenge. It has been boastfully so declared. But it is not a challenge. To be this it must come direct from Elder Singer. Had he iust cominsr into the community sent an unprovoked challenge to me a res ident pastor and a perfect stranger to him, I should have regarded him devoid of the sense of honor and pro priety. But your letter however inno cent it may appear to you. knowing the inducement as I do, was instigated by a morbid desire for contention which is so characteristic of some peo ple and of one church in particular. Last February I delivered at the bt, James and the Zion Church, being less than two miles from Stillwater, s lengthy discourse on the subject Sprinkling the true mode of Baptism I announced this discourse two weeks in advance. The church was filled, many of your own church peopie were there among whom was Elder MacNa mara who listened with gentlemanly patience to the discourse. This discussion was highly satisfac tory to my people and myself, as well as the public generally. Now what more do vou need ? Do you want more light on the subject or more fight ? I am inclined that vou want more of the latter. In these public discussions, the disputed questions are not abso lutely settled. Cutting things are said, animosities are engendered, and the cause of Christ dishonored. If thought any real good would come out of another public discussion I certainly would enter the field with any man you would place there, providing he is 111 gooci standing wim ins own cnuicu which I have been informed is not the case with Mr. Singer. My advice to you and your people is to cultivate peace among your own church mem bership and with your neighbors. Respectfully Yours, A Houtz. A Real Balsam is Kemp's Balsam The dictionary says, "A balsam is a thick, pure aromatic substance flowing from trees." Kemp's Balsam for the throat and lungs is the only cough medicine that is a real balsam. Many thin, watery cough remedies are called balsams, but such are not. Look through a bottle of Kemp's Balsam and notice what a pure, thick prepa ration it is. If you cough use Kemp's Balsam. At all druggists'. Large bottles 50 cents and $1. POULTRY NOTES- No. 31. Filth means disease death. . Have you put coal oil on the roost ing poles. Feed corn occasionally to chicks, as soon as they will eat it, as grain of any kind, especially the larger sort has a tendency to keep gaps in check. An occasional feed of meat of some kind will increase the growth of your young chick wonderfully. If the wing feathers grow too fast and become too heavy, so they droop, take a pair of scissors and clip them off. The breeds that feather quickly require more nourishment than these that feather more slowly. Give them plenty of meat, and raw egg, mixed with bread. When a fowl of any kind dies, do not throw it over the fence, but bury it, as it is liable to transmit the disease to others of the flock, and there is danger of the family catching some contagious disease from the stench arising from it.

WALLER.- A number of people of this com munity attended Children's service at "Wesley Chapel on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Shortiss are visiting Rev S. I. Shortiss. Mrs. Paul Klinger is lying danger ously ill. with hopes of recovery. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Yorks of Nip- penose Valley are visiting the Messrs. Yorks this week. Rev. Albertson occupied the pulpit last Sunday evening. Mr. Albertson is a young man who has just begun the work as a minister and we wish him success in his well chosen work. At an early hour Saturday morning the people began to arrive at the pic nic grounds in "Kitchen's Grove" and by noon the tables were so nicely ar ranged that all seemed anxious to hear the bugle call them to partake 01 tne rich viands. In the evening a festival was held for the benefit of "Pine Grove Sunday School." We are once more pained to record the terrible accident that cost the life of Mr. John Andrews formerly of this place but who has for some time been working at the "Hub ractory" in jam eson City. While Mr. Andrews was rolling logs along the side of the moun tain he saw that he was in danger ol being crushed by the logs breaking loose above him and seeing a stump by which he hoped to find a place of saiety, ne tooic tne opposite sioe irom the log. but the place was not secure, the log struck the stump and breaking it oftjkilled him instantly. The Trials of Winter. Winter is a trying period.even to those who have strong constitutions, but it is doubly trying to those who are weak and delicate, or who have a tendency to the various diseases that are bred and fostered in the stagnant atmos phere of closed and heated houses, The system should be kept strength ened and toned up with a liberal course of S. S. S., the great blood tonic and purifier. It acts like a charm. It in creases the appetite, soothes the nerves, and beautifies the complexion in short, it makes life well worth living. TWO AGED PERSONS. Mrs. Wm. Creasy, aged eighty one years and three days, and Mrs. Moyer aged ninety years, were both buried by Rev. Neiman, at Catawissa Sunday afternoon.
