r INDIGESTION
AND
CONSTIPATION
These are twin evils which work
serious mischief in the human body.
They sap the strength, destroy energy
and impoverish the blood. As a result
of these ailments, the system gradu*
ally becomes disordered and the con
stitution weakened so that the body
loses vitality and Is unfit to stand the
strain of hard or continuous labor;
thus, the victim offers a shining mark
for kidney disease, lung-trouble or the
life-crushing malarial fever. *
An easy and certain means of
warding off this condition fs within the
reach of every one.

A few doses whenever the digestion is

to a better and more complete per*
formance of their duties. With vigor
and regularity in the stomach, liver,
kidneys, and bowels, there can be no
loss of strength or energy, the blood
will be pure and nourishing, and the
capacity of the body for work thereby
maintained at the highest standard.

&ur best and most useful members, in
e death of our beloved brethren, E.

hem were humble, consecrated fol

if our great loss that we give up these

A SHORT SKETCH OF THEIR LIVES. '
Brother Chandler was born February
,?8, 1856, and died ;F*ebuary 18, 1901. He
was convicted and joined the church,
at Poplar Springs, in 1875, and was al
so made a deacon of that church in
1876. Removing his membership to
Hopewell in 1878, he has ever since
faithfully, served us as deacon, hb has
filled the office of Sunday school super
intendent, and, at* the time of his
death, was church . treasurer. He is
survived by his second wife and fiye
children, two sons and -three daugh
ters. V s * ^
Brother Cobb was born August 29,
1855, and was unexpectedly taken away
May 7, 1901. He professed Christ and
united with the church, at Hopewell,
in 1876. Was made a deacon in 1877,
which office he faithfully filled up to
the time of his death. He is survived
by his wife and four children—all
These brethren lived Christ, and,
therefore, met death fearlessly. Peace
to their , dust until the resurrection
morning. Respectfully,

Profits in “Religion.”
Freedom of religious worship is
guaranteed in this country. It is
one of our basic principles that a
man shall be per mitted to worship
according to the dictates of his
conscience, without interference
on the part of thb law. This im
munity of religions from molesta -
lions has been taken advantage of
by designing and unscrupulous
persons for>their own pecuniary
profit. The newspapers from time
to time chronicle the" advent of
some new “prophet” with a new
religion, and about as often show
that the hew “prophet” has some
smart financial scheme connected
with his “church” tor bis o\yn
enrichment.' It would probably
uot be difficult to enumerate half
a dozen dr more inventors of new
“religions” at present upon the
stage of activity, who ^ have
amassed great fortunes out of con
tributions from their followers.
One of the 1 most successful of
these charlatans is John Alexan
der Dowie of Cb icago, who claims
that he is a reincarnation of the
Prophet Elijah. Dowie is a foul?
mouthed, vulgar old man; never
theless he has secqied ^ large fol
lowing in his “Zion” and is said
to have accumulated several mil
lions of dollars from his dupes.
He claims to be a steward of the
Lord, sent upon earth to collect
tithes for the propagation of his
peculiar “religion,” and he makes
his followers pay up cash on the
nail. Indeed, the whole burden
of his theme is money; “pay your
money into the church, or you will
go to hell.” Some time ago he
bought some suburban lots cheap*
Now, as “the agent of the Lord,”
he is selling them at fancy figures
to his deluded followers, who hope
to secure a mansion iu the skies

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the. first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose. ’
Women, as well as men are made mis

meanwhile, takes care that all of
the “church,, property stands in
his name individually, as well as
its bank accounts. Thus he is the
whole thing, and he is making
it a good thing, for himself.
While Dowie is unique in his
methods, it may be said that he is
a type ot the “religion” fa
kirs. They are all making money.
They play upon the credulous,
weak-minded and superstitious—
which classes, by the way, make
np a very considerable proportion
of the population. And they are
enabled to do this because they
are virtually superior to the law.
If one man swindles another by
selling him a brick of brass for a
brick of gold there is a law to fit
the case ; but if. one person swin
dles another out of property and
possible out of life and the hope
of the true future through some
faked “religion,” there is no law
that is applicable. The “prophet ”
claims to be absolutely sincere
and operating under divine gui
dance; that he is worshipping God
according to the dictates of h is
conscience, to do which he has an
equal right with-all ether relig
ionists. And what authority is
to say that it isn’t so? Dowie
makes use of his religions immu
nity to revile the best people and
greatest institutions in Chicago,
as well as to draw dollars into his
coffers through false pretenses.
But nobody in authority has ever
placed a hand upon his shoulder
and said, “Stop 1” ^Through the

British Flag Came Down.
Vancouver, B., C., ; June 28,-r-The
steamer Islander, from Skagway,
today brings news of an exciting
flag episode at Skkgway. E. S.
Busby, Canadian customs agent
thpre,* acting on instructions from
Ottawa, hoisted the British flagon
a pole above Ms* office. Several
incendiary remarks followed the
hoisting of the ensign, and on the
following morning a tail, athletic
looking man glanced up at the
flag, and stopping at the foot of
the staff, took out his pocket knife
catting the halyards, pulled down
the 'flag and ran the halyards
through the block, rolled up the
colors and tossed them into a re-
cess of the building../ Thu man
was George Miller, a brother of
Joaquin Miller, the California
poet. The Skagway News says:
“This incident, which has caused
no end of comment today, has
been brewing for several days.
Wheh the flag was put up on the
depot building the matter .was
called to the attention of C. L.
: ^O' ■. ■ ■ . ^
Andrews, Unitdd States deputy
collector of customs. [Mr. An
drews found nothing in his in
structions which he thought jus-«
tified the Canadian officers in,
raising the British.flag unless the
st£rs and strpes waved above it.
He accordingly called upon Mr.
Busby and had a talk with him in
regard to the proposed innovation.
Mr. Busby showed him a letter
from the chiel customs official of
Canada which stated in substance
that as American customs officials

ditions corresponding to his (Mr.

Busby’s) office were permitted to
fly the flag.of their country, he
was entitled to the right and to
go ahead with the flag raising.
“On the hypothesis that \he
Canadian officials would not goon
record, with such a statement if it
Were not a fact, Mr. Andrews con
cluded. that Mr. Busby was within
his rights and accordingly took
no action in the matter.
“The question, which bids fair
to assume international propor^
tions as soon as the news of it can
reach Ottawa and Washington, ie
being discussed today with the
mas9 of sentiment in favor of the
man who haul§d down the flag.
On this strip of land which the
United States has occupied undis
puted since the days of transfer
in 1§67 the Canadian officials hav^
gradually encroached unrestramei
by the American government-. B}
leaps and bounds the Caqadiai
customs house advanced toward
tidewater. From Taglish to Ben
nett, then to Log C#bin, and, last
ly, to Summit, and when the cus
toms ensign of Canada was hoisted
at Skagway, it is small wonder
that some John Brown would not
wait for the action from Wash
ington, and cut down the flag.”
