Necessity for Those Who Pretend to :hriHtinnlta From the Methodist frotestiirit, There are many who tin not connect themselves with the visi ble church under the delusive no tion that they can bo just as good outside the church. In every community there are excellent men and women whom tho church is laboring for and praying for, who cannot be iuduced to connect themselves with it. We are sure such people are encouraging a serious, if not fatal, delusion. They believe iu God, accept Je sus Christ as the world's Saviour, engage in prayer and live reputa ble lives, but they will not join the church. Either Christ established the church or He did not. If Ho did not, then the members of the church are deluded, and many passages of Scriptures are hope lessly mysterious and inexplica ble. Paul tells us "how men ought to behave themselves iu the house of God, which is the church of tho living God, tho pil lar and ground of truth." It is called the Body of Christ, with Himself as its Head, so that it is difficult to see how a mini can give himself to Christ at all without giving himself to the church. For God "gave Him to be the Bead over all things in the church, which is His body. " Indeed, it is called the Church of Christ, which Be purchased with His own blood, and the apostle exhorts the ministers to feed, take oversight of it, and warns heni of grievous wolves and porver so persons who will enter into it and attempt to destroy the faithful. In the early days when the Apostles and disciples wore fired with the Holy Ghost the Lord ad ded daily into tho church such as should be saved. Iu order to properly maintain it tho believers were admonished not to forsake the assembling of themselves to gether, as the manner of service is. A few quotations only are given, but tlieso are quite suffi cient to show that Christ did es tablish a visible church for His disciples, into which they were to go, not so much for tho benefit of the church as for their own bene fit. ' Any man who thinks that Lo can be of more benefit to the church than tho church is to him practically asserts that he can do more for God than God can do for him, and that is not very re mote from blasphemy. He may excuse himself by tingl ing fault with the conduct of church members, but the Bible answers him in this way: "Thou art inexcusable.O man, whosoever thou art, for wherein thou judg est another thou coudomnest thy self." If a man knows how a church member ought to live, it is his duty, not to stay outside and criticise others, but to get in side and live as he thinks others ought to live. Such judgment of others is almost invariably self condemnation. Then the church is a divine workshop. It is not a playhouse: not a place for praying and song singing merely; it is tho pillar and ground of the truth; it is the foundation and support of Chris tian faith; it is a placo to win men to Christ, to work out the soul's salvation, to build up a Christ like character.and to spread the bless ings of the Gospel upon all who will accept or receive them. "Christ gave Himself for tho church that he might present it a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, that it should be holy and without blemish." Does a man want no part in this? Can ho call himself a Christian and hold aloof from the divinely ap pointed organization that is to call sinners to repentance and build up believers in the faith of the Gospel? There is something rad ically wrong in a man's concep tion of the purpose and work of the church if ho assumes that he can serve Christ acceptably, and yet not b eorao a recognized part of His vit.iblo body. As well say that a stono is a part of a temple when it is permitted to remain in the quarry iu which it is blastod. Christ established a church for men to be in it, and not to be out side and criticise tho blocks that compose tho structure. The lingering cough following grippe calls for One Minute Cough Cure.

Iu tho mountains near Martius hurg, W. Va,, there lives a semi wild man whom tho citizens fear, who has caused tho county au thorities much vc?:;:tioL.-, and whose claims for a pension h:ve long puzzled the government ! licials.

Sometimes ho ap pears harmless, but at times ho suddenly becomes wildaud fright ens the residents of the com munity, who have frequently complained to the county officials about him. For this strange man the government has 000 as a pension, but refuses to give it to him on account of his demented condition. Some of the citizens of the county are now endeavor ing to have Judge Faulkner of Martinsbui'g, appoint a commit too to receive the mouey and take care of him with it, but the Judge has so far not seen his way clear to grant tho request. Being of age, he can't have a guardian, and there is uo law providing for the appointment of a committee to take care of a man. The gov ernment is williug to pay the money if a committee is appoint ed to receive it. The elemented man's name is Authony Bradeuhal, or Hull, as ho was known about Millstone Point, where he lived awhile. The stomach controls the situ tiou.

In The (ioat Business. Edmund P. Cohill of Hancock, says the Star has ordered thirty Angora goats, which he will place on his farm, near Lock 53, this spring.

Mr. Cohill has joined tho Angora Goat Breeders' Association of America and will have his stock register ed. Horace Field, of Wellsboro, Pa., will go West in a few days to bring East 000 head of Angora goi.ts.
