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. JOSEPH BEASLEY, Columbus, Ga. 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. J. WYLIE QUILAIN, M.

Addre , HARPER A BROJI|ER*S New York. “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.” W.
