A NEW DECLARATION OF FAITH
The general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at Birmingham, had before
it a resolution for a new declara
tion cf faith. The preamble lead
ing the resolution states that while
not one jot or tittle of adherence
to the old faith is surrendered or
called into question, thetime seems
to be opportune for the setting
forth of the tenets of Methodism
iu a new and comprehensive decla
ration to which all branches of
that church may subscribe. The
resolution provides for the creation
of a commission to prepare “such
an expression of our doctrinal sys
tem as is called for in our day,”
and to secure the co-operation of
other branches of the Methodist
church.
During several years past there
have been movements looking to
new declarations of faith oif the
part of some evangelical churches.
That there is need of bringing
the churches “down to date” is
seen in the proposition to revise
the Presbyterian confession of
Faith, in the compilation of new
hymnals for the Methodists, in
the resolution just referred to in
the Birmingham conference, in the
heresy trial of Dr. Crapsey, of the
Episcopal Church, and in the
forthcoming trial for heresy of Dr.
Caldwell of Texas by the Presby
terian general assembly, which is
to meet in Greenville, S. C. shortly.
This evolution in Christian opin
ion does not mean that the church
es are drifting away from their
ancient landmarks, nor does it
mean that they are conceding any
thing to the so-called “higher
criticism.’ ’ But it does mean that,
in the light of modern and ad
vanced thought, there must be re
vised statements of position that
will more directly appeal to rea
son. Religious thought is vro
gressive. It can no more stand
still than can science or art or in
dustry. The Methodists, by tak
ing steps for a new declaration of
faith, are merely keeping step
with the times.
Xothing radical is proposed;
there is merely a recognition of
the forward march of human intel
ligence and religious faith.
The general conference at Bir
mingham, by the way, is one of
the greatest and most influential
Christian bodies in America. Its
jurisdiction covers the entire South
and its missionaries are at work
wherever the four winds blow,
Methodism is now the religion of
millions of churchmen. It is one
of the younger of the denomina
tions of the Christian faith, but it
is exceptionally strong and vigor
ous. It is a militant church, and
believes in waging unceasing war
fare on evil ahd the powers of
darkness. There is scarcely a vil
lage or hamlet in the South that
hasn’t its Methodist congregation,
and wherever such a congregation
is planted there will be found good
citizenship and piety.
The proceedings of the Birming
ham conference will be followed
with interest by the people gener
ally.—Savannah News.
I AM SADDEST WHEN I SING
You tbink I have a merry heart
Because my songs are gay.
But, oh, they all were taught tome
By friends now far away,
The bird retains its silver notes,
nho’ bondage claims its wing;
This song is not a happy one;
I’m saddest when I sing.
I heard them first In that sweet home
I never more shall see;
And. oh, each song of joy has got
A plaintive note for me.
Alas, ’tis rain in winter time
To mock the songs of spring,
Each note recalls some withered leaf;
I'm saddest when I sing.
Os all the friends I used to love,
My,narp remains alone;
Its faithfu l voice now seems to me
An echo of my own.
My tears, when I bend over it,
Will fall UDon Its strings;
But those who hear me little think
I'm saddest when I sing.

To understand Low to rest Is of more
Importance than to know how to work.
The latter can be learned easily. The
former It takes years to learn, and spme
people never learn the art of resting.
It is simply a change of scenes and ac
tivities. Loafing may not he resting;
sleeping is not always resting; sitting
down for days, with nothing to do, is
not restful. A change is needed to
bring into play a different set of facul
ties and. to turn the life into a new
channel. The man who works hard
finds his best rest in playing hard; the
man who is burdened with care finds
relief in something that is active, yet
free from responsibility. Above all,
keep good natured and don’t abuse

SKIN DISEASES
' There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn- PSORIASIS,
mg skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those ’
who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appear- Q A I T RHEUM
ing and know that they will be tormented through the hot
summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced
to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter
nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood.
The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover
up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns.
All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain
the different parts. One portion is used for
the making of blood, another for muscle,
one for bone, still another for fat, and soon.
After these different properties are ex
tracted from the food there still remains a
portion that is useless, or waste matter,
which is intended to be disposed of through
the natural channels of bodily waste, the
Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season
of the year, however, these organs become
torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain iu
the system and are "absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and
acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition-?
and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the-skin, producing Acne
Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description.
ECZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from
which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It
is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be
afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. Theacid
in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition
and giving it a leathery appearance ACNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of
pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear
ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body
One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUMc It discharges a watery fluid, form
ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected
and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp.
These and all skin diseases are due to the same catise —burning acids and humors iu
the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made they will continue. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is -S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en
tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing
effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being
blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood
It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter.
channels, instead or leaving it to be absorbed by tiic
blood. Nothing equals- S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up th r
general health. Write for our treatise on skin diseases and any medical advice you wish.

PRACTICALLY DISFRANCHISED
A new member of Congress is
placed on the foot of the list on
committeess, and even at the foot
he is placed on only the minor
committees. This is not because
the speaker may have a prejudice
against him or have a grudge
against his district. It is because
propriety and custom dictate th s
course. Experience has rights
which speakers are bound to res
pect, but new members have no
claims on the speakers attention.
The new man is isolated by the
speaker, is ignored by the Pres
dent and is turned down by the
heads of departments. Until he
gains experience and social pres
tige his constituents are virtually
disfranchised. from the
legislative nor the administrative
branch of the government can they
get any favors. Georgia voters
should keep this fact well in mind
in electing their representatives in
Congress this year. They should
not voluntarily disfranchise them
selves, and the people of the Third
d strict certainly will not do so in
this campaign.
The finish fight between Senator
Carmack and Bob Taylor oocurred
yesterday. The prize was Car
mack’s seat in the United States
Senate, and it is greatly to be hop
ed that he was again elected.

THE ITCHING WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE.
Dear Sirs—My body broke out with a rash or eruption
which in spite of all efforts to cure continued to get worse.
The itching, especially at night, was simply terrible; it
would almost disappear at times, only to return worse

rations without benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determined
to give it a fair trial, and was inexpressibly delighted
