There is a wonderful work of grace In
progress in the Evangelical church of this
place. At no time sines the church. was
built has there been such a stir. For some
time there haye been conversions evory
oyenlng and new seekers to take their
places. Several evenings the altar was
crowded with seekers while many In differ
ent parts of the church were bowed at their
seats seeking merqv under the convicting
power of God. For a number of nights the
church was completely packed aud sinners
aic remarkably convicted and converted,-
and the power of Jesus Is present to save
aud to bless. The interest continues un
abated, and the prospects are that many
more will bo saved before these nightly
meetings close, Persons attending these

derful change that takes place In those who
are made happy by the experience of the
new birth.
On Monday night tho spiritual firo broke

Not a Question oflllghts.
EniTOit Advocate: The prohibitory
amendment to the Constitution should be
cleared of all amblgutles and complications.
l irst. It Is not a question of temperance.
A man may be absolutely sober and self-
controlled and yet not be prepared to punish
an old woman with fine or imprisonment
who makes a little wino.
Second. It is not a question of total
abstinence. A man may think It well to
be a total abstainer and advise others to
imitate his example and yet not think It
proper to endoayor to force total abstinence
upon others by law.
Third. It is not a question of restricting
the evils of tho liquor traffic. A man may
as sincerely seek to do t his by nigh License
as by Prohibition.
Fourth. It Is not a question of suppres
sing the saloon. Tho people, If they con
sider saloons a nuisance, have power, by
electing a Legislature -llkc-mlnded, to sup
press them by law, leaving to the well-behaved
citizen a reasonable liberty to pur
chase, under wise ressrictlont, what he
pleases.
Fifth. It Is not even a question of a
prohibitory law. That can bo passad by
the Legislature at any time; has been en
acted In several States before prohibitory
amendments were over thought of. Ques
tions of public policy should be treated of
In statutory law, not in fundamental law.
The first can be altered or amended as ex
perience and observation may suggest: the
latter Is changed with difficulty, is rigid,
and If found impracticable becomes a dead
letter, and so the fundamental law Itself Is
brought Into contempt.
Sixth. It Is not a question of cooular
rights. It is not true that wheu any num
ber of prsons demand an amendment to
the Constitution It ought, for that reason,
to be submitted to tbe people. That Is not
the theory of our constitutional govern
ment. Senators and rerrresontatlves are
professional agents." They are bound In
lu all things to act upon their own honest
Jndgment of what Is proper, right and for
tbe public good; If their constituents are
not pleased with their conduct they can at
tbe next election displace them and ehoose
others whoso opinions are known to be
different,
The real question Is this: Is It wise to
incorporate In the fundamental law or
Constitution specific provisions on subjects
properly belonging to the sphere of statute
law? If so, where shall we stoD?
And, Is It wise to attempt by such an
amendment to coerce a largo minority (to
say the least) Into submission to the yiews
of Prohibitionists In regard to alcoholics?
Itbout any such Innovations and ex-
perlnienti nulsauces can be abated, the
liquor traffic restricted and regulated and
saloons abolished if the neonlo choose.
This can be done without engrafting
principles of Turkish despotism on tbe
system of American law. LmuisTV.

Salt Rheum
The agonies of those who suflor from severo
salt rheum are Indescribable. Tho cleansing,
healing, purifying Influences of Hood's Sarsa
partita aro unequalled by any other medicine.
"I tako pleasure In recommending Hood's
Barsaparllla, tor It has dono wonders for me.
I bad salt rheum very t evorely, affecting mo
over nearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease In Its worst
form can Imaglno tho extent of my affliction
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood's Barsaparllla.
Then the dlsoaso began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I arri entirely free from
the disease. My blood seems to bo tbor
oughly purified, and my general health Is
greatly benefited." Ltmam Allen, Bexton
Si. B. Church, North Chicago, 111.
"My son had salt rheum on his hands and
the calves of his legs, so bad that they would
crack open and bleed. He took Hood's Bar
saparllla and Is entirely cured." J. D. Stan
ton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
From 108 to 135
"I was seriously troubled with salt. rheum
tor threo years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood's
Barsaparllla. I am now entirely cured ot salt
rheum; my weight has Increased from 106 lbs,
to 133." Mns. Alice Smith, Stamford, Conn,
It you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood
disease, try Hood's Barsaparllla. It has cured
many others, and will cure you.
