Letter to Eli May,
Butler, Pn.
Dear Sir: A gallon saved is $4 or #5
earned, Devoe saves 3or 8 gallons in
10. How much is it worth a gallon?
A gallon saved saves the painting
tooi and both together cost $4 or s3—s4
where labor ii cheap: $5 where labor is
dear
Oar agents in Bridgeport, Conn, Hub
bard & Wade Co, tell us: "There are a
great many workinginen's houses here.
They used to paint lead-and-oil and take
ten gallons. We have baen selling
them ten gallons Devoe lead-and-zinc,
and have had in every instance, two
gallons returned." The proportion is
often higher than that; we have known
it five in ten; but that is exceptional.
This is the explanation: Devoe is
ground by machinery, and is ground
fine: lead- and-oil is mixed by hand, and
isn't ground at all.

CIIUItCH NOTES.
The new U. P. Church at Ean Claire
is completed, and the Methodists are
now building one.
Quite a number of Butler county
people are attending the S'ate Sabbath
School Convention, in the 6th U. P.
church, in E. E , Pittsburg, which be
gun yesterday.
The Young People's society of the
English Lutheran Church at Middle
Lancaster have placed iu the church a
forty-inch Blymer bell. A beautiful
hand-carved hyiun-board was presented
to the congregation a few weeks ago.
A new heating plant has been ordered
and will be installed shortly.
Rev. IMward H. Cleveland, of Ridge
wood. New Jersey, will conduct serv
ices in the Episcopal church at the
nsual hours next Sunday.
People who have made li«ht of the
influence of the Mormon church since
polygamy was technically abolished
must have been surprised by the re
ports submitted at the anniversary con
ference which met at Salt Lake City
the past week These showed that the
church is maintaining 20 mission fields
and that 1,500 worktrs are abroad seek
ing converts. Representatives were
present from branches in England.
Canada and Mexico, and it was an
nounced that stations are maintained in
New Zealand, Australia and Palestine.
How far these teachers advocate or
practice polygamy is not known, but
-there is evidence that recruits to this
method of life are sought in foreign
countries
We, the official members of the But
ler M. E. Church assembled and on be
half of the congregation which we rep
resent, do now take pleasure in extend
ing a vote of thanks to all members of
other churches, as well as to those not
belonging to any church, who so liber
ally contributed towards the liquidation
of "the indebtedness of onr new church
building and extend to all such and all
others a hearty welcome with us when
convenient for them to come.
