Your most valuable medicine, (Swift’s Spe

saving this for the benefit of those who sutler
like I did. I was poisoned by Poison oak.and

Swift’s Specific. In the six years I used sil
most every kind of medicine,but none had the
desired effect. After using six bottles oi

I had for thirty-eight years suffered every
spring and summer with Poison Oak, which 1
contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried cv
ervtbing for it, including many physicians,
but without any benefit. I took six bottles oi
Swift's Specific (S. S. 8.) four voir* ago, and
it cured me sound and well. Three summers
have passed and I have had norcrurn ot it.

Remarkable Results.
I have had remarkable success with Swift's
Specific; have cured several cases permanent
ly in a very short time. One case which lam
now treating was given uj/to die, and after
using three bottles is so far recovered that I
think one more bottle will cure her. The
most remarkable case of all was a lady witn
medularv cancer of the womb, for whom I
bad no hope whatever. After using one bottle
I am satisfied she will soon be cured.

“Rest From Universal Beg
ging.”
Your correspondent, -'Earnest
Worker,” wishes me the happy lot
of finding a place where the weary
are at rest. I luid rather
find a place where the wieke 1
cease from troubling.
In answering the article writ!'n
by “Earnest Worker,” 1 sha'l use
< lie masculine pronoun to stand for
“Earnest Worker,” for 1 am quite
sure that a sweet, smooth tempered
lady would not display the
spleen,nor make the uncomplimen
tary personal allusions that are con
tained in “Earnest Worker’s’) arti
cle. If, however, lam mistaken at
this point, I have not one word to
say in reply lam not willing to
hazard a battle-ofwords, with such ;
inequality of forces. II “Earnest j
| Worker” is a woman, I am willing
I for her to be both Joshua and Mo
-1 scs at home and abroad, and I very
modestly suggest that a very priv
ate subscription be raised to buy
her an unbeltable Mother Hubbard
dress, a sanctimonious, sanctifica
tion poke bonnet, a blue umbrella,
a pair of green goggles, and an oil
cloth grip sack.
I hereby vote for her then to don
this costume, put herself in the lead
of the great moral and religious for
ces that are to win the world for
Christ, wave her cotton umbrella,
and give the command “Forward
march.” I promise to follow* where
she leads as faithfully as the afore
said Marys lamb followed its mis
press—or stay at home and watch
over the children if my illustrious
commander-in chief should have
me detailed for such an unimportant
post.
But “Earnest Worker” must
he of the male persuasion, and I
proceed to answer him.
“Earnest Worker” stupidly, or
maliciously, misconstrues every
leading proposition in my article,
except one—taking up collections
to give a few boys a collegiate edu
cation. He represents me by inti
mation as opposed to paying the
preacher, opposed to church exten
sion, opjxised to the “Womans Mis
sionary Society” to the “Little
Gleaners,” and indeed opposed to
almost everything looking to the
support and sprepd of the gospel.
About the Missionary Society and
the Little Gleaners, I said t hat I
knew a lady in Barnesville who
pays all of her society dues with
money made with her own hands,
and I kindly suggested that God is
well pleased with a gift which costs
us an effort or some self denial to
make. “Earnest Worker” says he
knows of a dozen women who make
their own missionary dues. “Well
done,” I say to every one of them.
They are exactly on the
line I suggested and now I know
I was right in my suggestion. I
made the same suggestion about
the Little Gleaners, let them earn
“only a penny for Jesus,” and give
it out of their own little stores, and
Jesus would value it as he did the
widows mite of old. I did not say,
*or even intimate that I did not
want the preachers paid for their
services, more I stated that I was
in favor of missions. I spoke' dis
approvingly only of two things,one
was the custom of taking up col
lections among the people to edu
cate a dozen or two young men in
a state, while all the other young
men in the state are educated
at their own or their
parents expenses, or else are
denied such advantages; the other
was the manner of raising money
for church purposes by lifting so
many public collections.
I notice the last mentioned ob
jection, first, money, raised under
the influences’ often brought to bear
on collection occasions, in the way
of jests, tunny sayings and other
things, dishonoring to God’s
house and worship, benefits neither
the donor or dome. God loves a j
cheerful giver, one who gives from I
a spirit of Love to God and man,]
not onee who gives under the influ-1
ene of some little clap-trap pro
gramme, gotten up expressly for
the occasion and purpose. It may
bo answered that many men would
not give at all, if they find to give
from principle alone. Then let
them keep their money until they
are educated up to the right idea of
giving, and under the present sys
tem of wholesale, universal begging
men will grow very slowly in the
grace of giving. Borides, what use
lias the Lord for a dollar ; ;:ven frem
unworthy motives. The mi,''hike
that the Methodist church at least
is making, as 1 believe, is the fre
quency of public collections, and
the whoop and hurrah and harang
ues attending many of these collec
tions. Our sister Presbyterian
church pays much more hioney per
capita of its members than the
Methodists do, and yet the Presby
terians make less, much less noise
about it than wo do, The prompt
est paying Methodist church 1 ever
saw, had only one public collection
taken up in four years. The work
was done privately.
1 repeat what 1 said about giving
a few boys collegiate advantages
with money obtained by public col
lections. In the first place these
boys arc usually selected on account
of no special merits of their own.
Secondly a boy sacrifices his inde
pendence, and becomes a beneficia
ry when he allows himself educated
at public expenses. A Prof, in one
of the best schools in Georgia, and
the equal of Prof. Humphrey, or
any other man of his age, said a few
years ago, when he was a poor boy
and a gentleman offered to assist,
him through college, “If*vou pro
pose to give me money to "get my
education with, I respectfully de
cline your offer ; if you mean to lend
it to me, I accept it with gratitude!
The boy went through college, and
has long ago paid the money back.
All honor to the manly boys in
Georgia who are working their way
t hrough school. Many of them are
worth their weight in gold, and
will make their mark in the fu
ture.
Lets bring the educational mat
ter home awhile. Before the recent
change in the matter ef tuition at
Gordon Institute, the President of
the Institute (who will please par
don me for the liberty lam tak
ing) had to give away, on an aver
age, about SISOO annually in the
wav of educating the poor of our
town, and strange to say, during all
that time money was raised to edu
cate a lew boys and girls at college,
and not a cent was ever offered loir
the education of our ow r n needy.
Our neighbor and even our rela
tives children overlooked, and our
own perhaps hut ordinarily educa
ted, but a few boys must be taken
up and given a first class, collegiate
education at public expense. If
any body in Barnesville wants to
help educate some-body, let him se
lect some little girl in and around
Barnesville and send her to our
own school. I can find as worthy
ones here, as “Earnest Worker” can
find anywhere, and I can find as
many as such liberal men as “Ear
nest Worker” will educate.
Finally, Earnest Worker seeks in
his article to make the impression
that my selfishness prompted me to
write tlie article he criticised. In
reply to that charge, I simply say
that after paying my debts, I have
not much money left, but my con
science is easy about what 1 give,
and 1 don’t care a cent what “Ear
nest Worker” thinks about it.
Again, he kindly advises me to read
the story of Ananias andSapphira.
Unless Earnest Worker is pitiably
stupid, the use he made of my arti
cle might render the latter part of
the history interesting reading to
him. ,
Lastly “K-irnesf ’Worker” sug
gested that I am not suited to a re
fined commi nity of great hearted
Christian men and women,” hut
had better seek some secluded spot
where I would be “tne only heathen
to look after.” If “Earnest Work
er” is a worthy representative of
that “refined community of great
hearted Christian men and women”
he speakes of, I shall certainly take
his advice and keep out of it. I have
made it a rule for years to kc; p good
company; and staving out of r u h
a community would be in ace tied
with the other part of his timely
advice, “go where there is no heath
cn to look after but yourself.”
