The Chrititlnif Church.
The, following In reference to
the tenets of the Christian chu rch
is written by Rev. S. L, Baugher
of Needmore. Ed.
While driving to one of my ap
pointments on Sunday afternoon,
I passed a stranger walking, go
ing the same way that I was. I
asked him to get in the buggy
and ride. Then we drove on.
Then the stranger asked, Who
are you ? Well, I am a minister
' of the Gospel.
!; Question. To what church do
you belong?
Answer. To the Christian
church.
Q. Please tell me something
about that church.
A. It is a church whose mem
bers are supposed to be believers
of Christ Christians.
Q. The name is a very good
one, but where did they get it
where did they originate.
A. The church was organized
by Jesus Christ. Matt. 16:18.
They1 get their name by Divine
authority as I will presently show
you.
Q. Has your church no other
name?
A. None but Christian.
Q. Where did you get that
name?
A. That is the question I am
always glad to answer. We get
that name from the Bible. Read
Isaiah 62:2, where the Lord
promised to give them a new
name when the gentiles should
be admitted to the church. Then
turn to Acts 10:45, where you will
see that the gentiles were admit
ted. Now, turn to Acts 11:20
the very next chapter and you
will see that the name Christian
was given and fulfilled. So this
Is a Bible name.
Q. What kind of a doctrine do
you advocate ?
A. Our doctrine is not of man
but of God. It is found in the Bi
ble. See II Tim. 3:16.
Q. Who is the founder of your
church ?
A. Christ and His holy apos
tles. Read Epb. 2:20
Q. Who is your head and the
leader of your church ?
A. Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. Read Col. 1:18. Eph. 1:22.
,Q. What is your mode of fel
lowship? A. We fellowship all Christians
as brethren.
Q. What about your Commu
nion? A. It is God's table, and our
communion is with all of God's
people, of every denomination;
for all of God's children have a
right at His table.
Q, Have you a creed ?
A. We have. The Bible is our
only creed. ,
Q. What is your test of fellow
ship? A. Christian character is our
only test of fellowship.
Q. Do you believe in the Trini
ty? A. No; the word "trinity" is
not found in the Holy Bible.
Q. Tell me where the word
"trinity" is found.
' A. The word "trinity" is found
in the Hagerstown almanac.
Q. How old is your church?
A. Nineteen hundred years.
Q. Do you believe in missions?
A. Yes, because Jesus Christ
was the first missionary.
Q. I am glad that I have learn
ed of a church that has no leader
but Christ, and no name but
Christians. Thank you, Rever
end, for your kindness ; the ride
has saved me a muddy walk.
Good bye, and may the Lord
bless you.

4 ' T ADVERTISE' IN
The Fulton Conntj New
Atf tfATTtTVoUR CIQA? BILL?
Handed Us for Publication by
a Bethel Township Boy.
"How did you keep your boys
from smoking?" I asked a friend.
"I give them examples in-arithmetic,"
was the reply.
How this could keep three wide
awake boys from smoking was
an enigma to me until she ex
plained :
"During the long winter even
ings James and Charles and Cor
nelius were always teasing me to
give them sums to do. Very fre
quently I would give them exam
ples like this : If a man should
smoke three ten-cent cigars a day
how many would he smoko In a
year ? Or, how long would it take
a man to spend $73.00 for cigars,
if he smoked 2 cigars a day ?
"They soon figured up how
much the 1109.50 of the man who
smoked three cigars a day would
gain in ten. years at four per
cent, interest Then they began
to give examples to one another.
"One day Cornelius asked at
the table : 'Father, do you know
how much money you have smok
ed up since I was born?'
"This was rather a hard ques
tion for his father to answer, but
Cornelius had it all figured out in
this way. His father had once
said in his hearing that he aver
aged about five cigars a day, and
that the best were none too good
for him. As his father did not
answer, Cornelius went ou : 'Well
I gave the sum to Charlie last
night and he says you have
smoked up $2,199.00.' And the
boy was right. Cornelius was 12
years old : and in that time at the
rate of five ten-cent cigars a day,
his father had used up that
amount of money smoking.
"Charlie was anxious to tell
what the interest on the money
would amount to at four per
cent, but his father stopped him
saying, 'My boy, you have told
me enough, if I have spent over
$2,000 for cigars in twelve years,
it is time I stopped.' He never
smoked a cigar after that.
"As the boys grew older and
got to work they got into the hab
it of saving up what they called
cigar money, and by the time
they were 21 years old, each boy
had several hundred dollars in
the bank."
It is needless to say that all
three of the boys are now suc
cessful business men, and that
they do not smoke. They have
had no money except what they
have earned, and they date thoir
success back to the time when
their mother began to give them
examples on the cigar question.
Early in life James went to Cal
ifornia. At this time this was the
Mecca of all boyish aspirations
as being the place where money
was quickly accumulated. Here
the lad carried the same thrifty
zeal which had characterized him
when he began to save up his
small earnings at home. His hon
esty and strict attention to busi
ness soon opened a career for
him, and in less than ten years
he had accumulated thirty thous
and dollars. Then came a finan
cial crisis, and James' fortune
vanished in a day. In a letter to
his mother soon after, he said :
"lama poor man agaiu, moth
er, but I have the same hands
and head to work with, and I am
not discouraged."
Never for a moment did he al
low his misfortune to daunt him.
"The same hands and head" went
right to work again, and James
was soon mounting the ladder of
success. He gave no thought to
the past and its failure, but kept
his eyes ever ahead. His pluck
and perseverance won the admi
ration of all.
When asked what he should do
if he lost his fortune again, he
said : "Begin over again ; there is
no satisfaction like that which
comes from success out of fail
ure." And this is what he has done
all through life. He is now an old
man but he never tires of giving
the credit of his business suc
cess, which has been unusual, to
the wise forethought of his moth
er In teaching her boys not to
smoke.

Ed KricnENiucH,
On ville, Ohio,
Paymaster General Bates is th
proud possessor of what is prob
ably the largest cigar in the world,
eaya the Washington Times. It is
a product of the Philippines and
wan the gift of Major W. H. Com
cgys of the pay department. It is
sixty-three inches long and as big
as a man's arm. It is a curiosity in
another way, inasmuch as it con
tains specimens of twenty-two kinds
of native Philippine tobacco. In a
note accompanying the gift Major
Comegys says : "I send you the lar
gest cigar you have ever seen, at
least tho largest I have ever seen.
It is made of a number of the finest
brands of tobacco grown in the is
lands. It was manufactured at San
Fernando de Union, in Union prov
ince, P. I. The case is also a curi
osity. It may be called a family
cigar, as all smoke it, and the grand
mother is supposed to finish it or the
cigar to finish the grandmother."
The Utah-Arliona Boundary.
II. R. Carpenter, a civil engineer
who has just completed the survey
of the southern line of Utah, says
the boundary between that state
and Arizona does not cross a foot
of cultivated land. It traverses a
desert, which is cut up by great
canyons that are almost impassable.
The length of the line is 277 miles.
Landmarks along the line will make
it possible for the boundary to be
located without any difficulty in the
future. Just east of the Colorado
river a sandstone butte rises 1,000
feet above the plain, and the very
peak of this butte is exactly on the
boundary. Mr. Carpenter named
the peak State Line butte. Not far
from this butte is another which
stands 1,300 feet above the plain
and was named Tower peak. These
two gigantic stones will always be
a guide to persons who have enough
curiosity to penetrate the desert
in search of the state line.
Continuous Performance.
Into an ounce of brandy put a
small dose of cocaine, drink the mix
ture and in ten minutes you will
find yourself in the mental and
nervous condition which is the
normal state of the citizen of
Butte, Mont., says the Boston Tran
script. Men work in the mines and
smelters in three eight hour shifts,
and tjio stores, restaurants, theaters,
etc., are regulated accordingly. So
the life of Butte is literally a "con
tinuous performance." There is no
distinction between night and day.
It is glare and hustle all the time,
and there are no old men in Butte.
Big Necks.
The marquis of Salisbury wears
tho biggest collar in parliament; it
is exactly nineteen ana a half inches
in circumference. The biggest col
lar in the bouse of commons tn
circles the neck of Sir William llar
court and is eighteen inches around.
Sir William designed his own col
lar, and if it is not a thing of beauty
it is expansive and comfortable. The
highest collar ever worn in parlia
ment was that which graced the
neck of Bobby Spencer; it was four
and a half inches in depth.
Jarred the General.
General Fred Grant's son, U. S.
III., is at West Point, now a first
class man and cadet adjutant. Ear
lier in his course his father was
somewhat anxious about him and
wrote to an official of the academy,
a contemporary of his own, asking
how the lad was getting along. He
received this reassuring if somewhat
dissembling reply: "You needn't
worry. The boy stands higher in
everything than you did in any
thing." The general tells this story
himself.
"War's Hideous Din" No More.
Colonel Humbert of the French
Colonial artillery asserts in La
France Militaire that he has invent
ed an apparatus which can be
affixed and adapted to all rifles, pis
tols, revolvers and cannon of any
caliber and which completely does
away with the flash, the sound and
the smoke. The colonel asserts that
the use of his instrument will end
by making war an impossibility.
Ready For Anything.
"But why," we ask of the great
inventor, "do you have this huge
balloon at the top of your machine
and the large wheels and steering
gear beneath it?"
' "Because," he answers with pa
tient consideration for our inability
to grasp an idea when it juts out be
fore us, "I am not sure yet whether
this will be an airship or an auto
mobile." Baltimore American.
A Change of Heroee.
A soldier in one of our hospitals
who had lost one of his arms was
rejoicing in the fact. Said he: "My
great-grandfather lost a leg in the
Revolutionary war and our family
has been bragging over it ever since.
That story is an old one, and now
I am going to be tho hero of the
family." "The Military Common
