Valdosta, Ga., O.t. 15, 18961
Mr. C. Rbmt«,
Lenox, Ga.
Dra» Brothrr: —Your precious
latter ao full of love and kindness
—-so like a father to his afliioted
child —was received Monday, to
gether with the money, which was,
Qh such a help and blessing to me.
I never read or received a letter
that so comforted ahd cheered as I
yours did. 1 have read it over and
again ; — it was so tender and beau
tiful in expression. Oh if I felt
worthy or capable of answering it,
but alas! I feel so vile and unfit.
I fee! like the publican did—not
worthy to raise my eyes to heaven.
You said that as you got older you
felt your unworthinessmore. I too
feel that way, more and more as
I near my eternal house. I feel
and see how weak and dependent
lam. I cannot even praise God
unless he gives mo the spirit of
prayer. I think of you and of the
beautiful life you have, and do
live in send ng joy and peace, and
scattering sunshine in the lives of
the poor and afflicted, and 1 am
reminded of David the sweet sing
er of Israel. For surely your life
has Leenas a tender touching song,
with beauty and love in every note.
■ When we meet again, if the Lord
go blesses us again, I feel that I
must kiss the dear hand that has
done so much for me. I want to
kneel at your feet as Mary of old
did by Jesus. Oh if I could make
you understand how I love you,
and how grateful I feel for all your
kindness to me, I think you would
jn a measure feelrjpaid. You lit
tle know how I love you as a father
and Christian and watcher in Zion
for good.
Oh that I could return the kind
ness that you and the many dear
Baptist have shown me; but I feel
as powerless to do so as the lame
mau did that could not wash in
the pool of Siloam until Jesu
comes to his aid. So it is with me
I am yet too afflicted and weak—
if indeed I ever be—to return tie
many acts of love and chai itv tha;
have been mine to receive And
I feel sure I never will live the
life I desire to live as a noble Chris
tian woman should, and as I «*-•
others— cheering the sad and
strengthening the feeble and weak,
‘and binding up the broken-heart
ed, drying the eyes of th« weeping,
helping the lame and afflicted, y« t
sitting humble and at the
feet. That life would not be such
a failure with me, and the dear
taints would have some cause to
love me for Christ’s sake. While
God has seen best to afflict me in
my youth,—to crush the very
dreams of youth,—has filled my
young life with pain. Yet I know
that ho is good, n t only g > >d, but
merciful and tender, full of love
»i*4 pitv; and Oh 1 that I could
mug of his worth and of his power
with every fleeting breath. But
Oh this hard heart of mine. Even
oom Id 1 be as Ruth, glean behind
the reapers binding up the sheaves
Lu my Masters vineyard, ever
readv to be a help and comfort to
my brethren and sisters, giving my
life service tor their comfort and
peaoe. But lam only a child in
knowledge of duty- I need x>me
stronger hand to guide me in duty's
path. I am weak and afflicted,
powerless to help myself, much
less to aid others I feel to be
weak m faith, forgetting the Rock
from whence I am hewn. So when
I see my weakness and remember
my afflictions I can only bow my
head in bumble prayer that the
Lord of peace and glory will abun
dantly bless the generous hearts
and loving hands that have don*
•o much for poor me. The small
est deed of love is not forgotten or
failed to be rewarded by the Lord,
wto never slumbers or sleeps. Be
hold his love and care over his
children. What love can compare
with the love of Jesus? Oh how
the five dollars has helped me, only
God knows. I have now used a
part ot it to buy me more medi
cine, and a part will help to finish
getting me warm clothes which
I was obliged to have, 1 am so frail
and thin, but Oh 1 feel so trri
wOrihy of such help; but Oh the
blessing it is to me, and may it
doubly prove to be a blessing to
those whose tender hearts prompt
ed to give it. God bless you, dear
brother, I pray. I daily wonder at
the love the saints have tor me, for
Ido not see why they love me. I
feel that my walk before them is
sb imperfect. The Lord willing, I
krpect I will return home the last
of this week, as the Dr. has gone
back up there, and Brother Cow
art will soon move up there, so I
cannot continue to stay with them,
and dear brother and sister Moore
will leave this week to be goi:e
sometime. So they cannot see af
ter me as they been doing I
am improving now, tho’ I will
never be well, but I do not ask it.
To be «p. even if not strong, is all
[ ask. J wftpk you to come to see
me when I get home. Guess I will
go Saturday if nothing prevents.
Again I thank you and all the
dear saints for their kindness.
Your little sister I hope,
Fannie Shuman.
Pear Brother Simms : —And be
loved household of faith. I feel
impressed to offer you a brief out
line of my travel here below, and
a testimony ot the mercy and good
ness of God to me, a poor weak
sinner. And it will, more than
likely, be the last special public
event of my life.
I was born into this world Feb
uary Bth w 1807. And received a
hope, or Christ in me the hope of
glory, and of a better home above,
in Butler County, Ala., while sit
ting m a door of my home. Thad
always been afraid of going to hell
and aimed to get religion in good
time before I died; but at last
found I could not find it; and fi
nally became so much troubled
over my imperfections and sms,
that my life was miserable; tnd I
remained go for along time, and
greatly an for about a year. But
at last, jlist after coming in from
hunting some of my cattle, while
sitting down in my door, it pleased
tho Lord t<» ileliver me from all my
toj-inrii g fears, and give rest and
peace tn niy soul, it I am not de
ceived in the whole matter And it
was upon this little hope thatl was
received into the Primitive Baptist
church in Butler county, Ala., in
about 1839; and was baptised by
Elder Grisky. In 1844 we move ’ to
Bibb county, Ala., and I held my
church letter about twelve years.
In 1855 mv children persuaded me
to put it in with the Missionaries
;atII ay saps. My wjfe much < j pos
edihis. And after 1 had dope so, I
regretted it, and I became much
dissatisfied, and wished many times
I had not done so; though good
people belonged there. Finally my
wife and I and all the children
Est the Missionaries, and we—sev
en in number —joined the Primi
tive Baptist at Mt. Zion church;
and when an arm was extended we
organized a church nearer, now
called ‘‘Little Hope,” where my
membership still is.
Ido not feel that I have been a
worthy member, but I have spent
many happy seasons with the
saints; and also have been made
to mourn deeply on account of
breaches of fellowship in the
church. But wo are all in peace
and sweet fellowship now. Elder
McElroy—the orphan bny that I
raised—is our esteemed pastor,
I am now 84 years old. and I
feel that my troubles and trials are
about over. I am able to be up
.most of my time, and to do some
work, but I know that I cannot
stay here long.
My wife was born June 27,1807;
and died March 19,1893. Now my
precious brethren and sisters in a
precious hope, may the good Lord
bind you together in love. Be
constant in prayer for peace, Be
fervent in spirit serving the Lord.
Fight the good fight of faith. Bear
and forbear with one another.
Pray for the peace of Zton, and
pray lor me a poor old sinner sav
ed by grace, if saved at all.
Farewell ti l we gather amued
the throne of God, when* free from
all sorrow we shall all farewell
forever and ever.

torsand will last a life time.
The price of No. 1, is $15,00 and No.
2, $25.00.
NOTICE:— The original Oxydonor,
formerly pt $15.00 will be sold until
January Ist, 1897 tor $7.50 half

No. 2, Oxydonor, latest improved,
formerly $25.00, will be sold for $12.50

for you will not have such an oppor
tunity again, for this offer will only
last till January Ist, 1707, I used
this instrument in my family and it
has not failed in a single instance to
have the desired effect when
instructions. It cured me of heart dis
ease, chronic diarrhoea, indigestion,
neuralgia etc.
J use no medicine and I would not
take S2OO for the benefit I have derived
from it. Every family should have
one. Just look: “It cured Mrs. M. A.
Louderback, (Gasaen, M 0.,) of cancer
of the womb.” It cured Miss Fannie
Durden of Math, Ga., of brights’ dis
ease.
John Temple Graves of Atlanta, Ga.,
says: “It is worth its weight in gold,”
it has been so beneficial to him. It
cured iJder D. Bartley, of Crawford
ville, Ind, of chronic troubles of 30
years standing. Elder John L. Boyd,
Danaker, Va.. says that Jie would not
take SSOO for his bxydonor, it has been
such a blpssingto him. ElderE. E.
Oliver Kenmore, Va., writes,: I have
used the Oxydonor in my family for
about JO months and would not take
SIOOO for the benefit T have received to
say nothing of the suffer!ng and doc
tors bill. Sister Laura Lane of Bos
ton, Ga., had not stood alone for over
two year until she used the Oxydonor
and now she is walking and in better
health than she has bad for several
years. Medicines and doctors failed
in her case, but the Oxydonor did the
work. I could refer to many cases
but if is useless.

The most ot our Subscribers
could with a little effort, get an

Brethren and sisters, try it, and
help us to leave off those hateful
advertisments in our paper, and
put it in pamphlet form. As it is
we must run these secular adver
tisnwnts to pay Cufrerit
IMPOBTANY NOTICE
Many ot our subscribers are badly
in errears with their subscriptions—
some one and others two years and
more. These amounts are small in
themselves but when put together, if
paid, would enable us to pay off a debt
which gives us much concern and un
rest. Il these just accounts remain
unpaid it will cripple the Bannkr per
haps seriously. It takes money to
publish a paper, and if we fail in col
lecting for our labor and expense we
cannot run. Will those who owe us,
kindly think of us in our needs, and
remit as soon as possible, and thus
enable us to meet our obligations for
money; or if you cant pay, will you
kindly drop us a card and let us hear
from you? S.

HEALING THE SICK
Dear Friend: I have been Agent for the eons
of Elder Respess in the sale of tneir Gbaybeabd
nearly one year and desire to make a short re
port for which intrusion I hope you will pardon
me. My daughter has taken thirty-eight Dottles
and thinks her cancer is cured. Mrs. Stiverson
who resides near my place had a running sore
pn her breast for two years, which four good doc
tors failed to cure. It may have been cancer.
Her family gave her up to die. Eight bottles of
Graybeard cured her completely,
Mrs. Sargent was very feeble with cancer and
Graybeard cured her in six months.
Mr. Koutner has had a cancer on his face 28
years. Graybeard is healing it up and making
him healthy.
Mr. Weiland has been to Hot Springs Ark. and
other places for treatment of rheumatism and
was compelled to walk with crutches. Eighteen
hotties of the medicine made by these young men
made him throw away the crutches.
Mrs. Neff who lives in Adelphia across ojiy
county line has been confined to her bed nine
weeks with cancer. I sold her two bottles of this
medicine and after taking two bottles she was
able to go to the table for her meals and could
ride out in her buggy.
She had five physicians to hold a consultation
in her case and they said they could do nothing
to relieve her and that she must die in a month
or six weeks.
This gives the medicine quite a name here,
