If reasonable care is used, however, and Chumhtrluin'a Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tns of thous ands who have used tliis remedy for these diseased we have yet to learn of a eiuulo case having resulted in pneumonia, w bich shows concilia! ve ly that it is a certain preventive of that ditugerous disease. It will cure a cuid or an atttck of the grip iu less tuuo. th'ia any other treatment. It U pli'iiM.ht and fcnfo to tnka. For fcitio by 1- Ji'U tV t'-iii.

Tho manifest tntorest taken in the church in nil opartiuents of its work has heen nd is, a source of constant pleasure to the writer. The topics for next Sabbath are, The Resurrection of the Body and the Life Everlasting," the last ier- mon on the Ados ties Creed, aud The Divine Presence." The oven ing service wilj be appropriate for the closing of tho year. Are the presont relations between pastor and people to he continued or is there to be a change f This qnes tion has boeu generally asked among our people and it furnisiies an opportunity to give some facts about the Methodist Episcopal church, and the way appointments are made. In the first nhice we might say that the bishop is the appointing power Since he does not know the churches and their requirements, nor the men and their abilitv. he needs some men to advise with him and explain tho work. This brings into view the Beooud factor in the making appointments, namely the presiding elders, who do tho nominating They visit each field three or four times a year, or oftener if needed and in consultation with the church officials of each oburch and with the individual pastors, learn the needs and wishes of all and nominate men lor tue cnurcnes wnere, in their judgment they can best serve the church and advance the Re deemers kingdom. Sometimes this brings about changes that the poo pie do not desire. For example, a pastor may be doing good work in a small field and the people may wish him to remain The elder, however, may see that this pastor can best sorve the church in a larger field, and may nominate him for -that field, or he may havo a difficult field for which some minister is just suited and for that reason make a change. There is .however, another factor in the making of appoint ments, and that Is the local oom- mittee. When a church wishes to consult with the elder In a special manner about a pastor a committee la appointed for this purpose If this committee is not satisfied with the pastor offered by the elder it may go to the bishop aud protest, and ask for some other man. Then it is for the bishop to decide. Aftor the bishop has all the facta it is his duty to appoint. He has a given number of churches to supply with pastors and an equal number of men to place. Some men no church wants, and some churches no man wants. The bishop has to do tho best he can. These facts yoa can readily see, make the appointment of any man to any field, uncertain Personally I have the utmost confidence in our Elder Dr. Wright. He is a spiritual father to his pas tors, and an instructor in holy things to the people. He will do for both pastor and people that which is best. He has suggested a promotion to the writer, and from that fact has arisen the uncertainty about the continuance of presont relations. Whether he can bring this about to his satisfaction at this conference is, at the present writing unknown. Whatever his nomina tion and .the bishops appointment, it is the duty of both pastor and people to accept as the best that can be done and remain true to the work of the church which is the work of God. The Methodist church has grown to the first place among the protestant churches of America, undor this system, and that is its justifioation, - LEAD US Lead me, la Thy wny.

While the present pastor was installed in June still the first year of the pastorate closes on the first of April. It is hoped that all members of the church and others who have the church's best interests t heart will attend the morning service. The themes both morning and evening will be of interest and seasonable. Next Sunday morning will be taken tho offering for foreign mis sions, No one fails to appreciate tho needs of the home land and our church but- wo have obligations undor God's blessing to the foreign field ns well. Let there be a gene rous offering. Piido, if nothing else should stimulate us to come up to the record of the church in the past. A letter from the superintendent of the normal class work in this state writes the pastor that his class are passing their examinations with great credit. No paper has been marked as low as 60. This places the work done by the class as high as the best students are doing in the state. This should bo a matter of groat prido to those taking these examinations. Tho Ladies Aid society have novel plan before them and which we hope may meet with universal oooperation and approval. The ladies will hold a "bag sale" on April 16th in tho parlors of tho church. Cards of solicitation have been sent to the different homes already. The greatest freedom is afforded to thoss who contribute as you will see by those cards. Refresh tnonts will bo served at the church Fuller accounts will be found in this column next week. The second quarterly calondar of the church will be distributed at the services next Sabbath. We are pleased to announce that the young people have assumed the fiuoncial obligation of the publication of these leaflets. They will give an enter tainment in tho near future for the purpose of raising their funds. Another very pretty wedding oo- ourrod last evening at the home of Mr. Rosencrance C. Bull when his daughter Lizzie wos morried to George Mitchell. Both are most highly esteemed and active church members and have the best wishes of every one. Certainly bright and happy future seems to await these two and we sincerely hope that only the best of life' happiness shall ever be theirs. The Rev. Harvey Klaer performed the oeromony assisted by the Rev. E M. Smead. Only relatives and one of Miss Bull's most intimate frionds. Miss Betty Cornelius, were in at tecdnnoe. The wedding ceremony was promptly at seven o'clock Many choice presents were received President Raima of Cuba expresses himself as much gratified at th action of tho United States in ratify ing the reciprocity treaty. There was nothing much else for him to do EDS Consumption is a human weea nourisninpf Dest in wea lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young wnen old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott s L.mulsion. Salt nor is good too, but it is very hard to digest. Die time to treat consump tion is when you begin tryin to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won t. Don t wait until you can t deceive yourself any longe Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for th treatment. It it is consump tion 'you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you wu begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat inent you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh ai rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. v e will send you a liule of the Lmu sion free.

Reciprocity With Cuba Just before the adjournment of the extraordinary session of (he senate tliet body ratified the reciprocity treaty wnn cuoa. The announce ment of this action, however, caused no gteat rejoicing among those who lave been working for reciprocity wan . 11 1 . 1 lie treaty now goes over for action by the house next fall It is possible that a special early session of the house will be called but as there will be elections and political activity then, it Is not thought prol able that the president will call a special session. In any event those who wish to recognize the truth admit that the demands of the president have been practically ignored by the senate and that If Cuba is to receive any help in this direction, it will onlv be after the fight is all made over again.
