What to Do Until the Doctor Arrives.
It is very hard to stand idly bv and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albanv
lN. Y.) dairyman called at a drugstore
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with croup. Not
Jinding the doctor in, he left wtJrd for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
.arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's Rem
edy to their neighbors and -iriends until
-he has a constant demand for it from
that part of the country. For sale by

The Revival Meetings.
All of the arrangements have been
completed for these meetings, and the
final work will be done before the close
of the week. 411 that remains to be
done as we go to press, is the seating
of the hall, and that will be done on
Thursday and riday, so that when the
Evangelists arrive all will be ready Tor
the beginning of their work.
As announced last week an attempt
was made to secure the closing of all
places of business during the evening,
while the meetings are in progress, the
results appearing by the notice which
will be found elsewhere. While all have
not entered into the agreemeut, it is
hoped that such a pressure will be
brought to bear upon those refusing, by
the members of the churches and others
interested in &e success of the meetings
that tbey will yet see that it is to their
interest to comply with the very reason-,
able request which was made.
Some persons, laboringunder a serious
mistake, have caused a wrong impres
sion to eo abroad, which 'the executive
committee desires to correct, Because
the people of Bedford raised so large a
sum for \he Evangelist, jt b.as been
asserted that we are laying a heavy
burden upon the community by bring
ing these gentlemen here', and that it
will be necessary' for us to raise for
them hundreds of dollars, for which, in
some way, the churches are responsible.
The facts are these: Mr Sunday makes
no charre whatever for his services.
Of course there are certain expenses
which we will be required to meet, but
these are comparatively light. As com
pensation for his services he agrees to
accept what is given in the form of a
free will offering, when the work is
drawing to a close, probably on the last
Sabbatn of his work among us. If his
work is blessed in large measure, as it
was in Bedford, and has been elsewhere,
our people will naturally be grateful for
it, and will express their gratitude in a
liberal offering.' But there is no require
ment for any specified sum, and he will
be content with what the people pre
sent in that way.
For the incidental expenses collec
tions will be taken each evening until
a sufficient amount has been raised then
those collections will cease, and no more
collections will be taken until the time
for the thank offering at the close of the
work.
Now, then, let all members oi the
churches heartily colopeiate in the work
which we undertake. Doing this all the
churches and the community will be
richly blessed.
AN AGREEMENT.
In entering upon the revival work
which is now being undertaken, the
pastors and representatives of the
churches have enter^^MMMan'ange^
ment by whic^|J^^^^^Hbat they,
governed
while^j^^^^^^^^^P^^rogress.
churches are to be
nWfflrreserve, which might in any way
hinder the progress of the wort.
The pastors unite under the leadership
of the Evangelist, being subject to his
direction. The matter of gathering up
the resets of the work is to be left till
the work is done, and 110 pressure is to
be brought to bear upon any one as to
the choice they shall make as a church
home, leaving that choice entirely to
the persons themselves, and no members
are to be received into any of the
churches while the fneetmgs are in pro
gress. As the meetings are drawing to
a close an announcement will be made
as to where those desiring to unite with
the churches are to meet the respective
pastors and church officers for that pur
pose, and the choice will be left entirely
to them. While the meetings are in
progress a committee, appointed by the
Evangelist, will confer with inquirers,
and take their names and denomina
tional preferences, and those names will
be put in to the bands of the respective
pastors but this Will be only for the pur
pose of allowing the pastors to give
them such help and instruction as they
may need, in order to make the way of
becoming christians clearer, but, in no
sense for the purpose of allowing efforts
to bias them in the matter of church
connection. It is, as a matter of course,
expected that all the churches, whether
they are engaged in this, united effort,
or not, will consider themselves morally
bound by this agreement.

good thing, and no farmer in this coun

practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before tliat equals it. A

paper, a farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers' Institute, all for $1.70.
