SEVEN NEW BISHOPS
ADDED TO COLLEGE
Tne General Conference At
Asheville Brings the Number
Up to Its Full Quota.
Seven new bishops have been chos
en by the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, now is in session at
Asheville, N. C., which brings the
college up to its full quota. This is
the largest number of bishops ever
elected at one session.
The seven additions to ths episco
pal college are Rev. Cullins Denny,
D. D., L L D., of the Baltimore con
ference; Rev. J. E. Kilgo, D. D. L L.
D , of the North Carolina conference;
Rev. W. B. Murrah, D. D., L L. D.,
of Mississippi; Rev. W. R. Lambuth,
A. M., D. D., of Nashville, Tenn.;
R-v. E. D. Mouzon, D. D., of Texas;
Rev. C. R. Waterhouse, of Virginia,
Rev. J. H. McCoy, of Alabama.
Of the seven, five ars connected
with educational work, Bishop Kil
go being president of Trinity College,
Durham, N. C. Bishop Murrah is
president of Millsaps College,Missis
sippi; Bishop Waterhouse is at the
head of the Emery-Henry College,in
Virginia; Bishop McCoy has been
president of the Woman’s College In
Birmingham, since its establishment,
two or three years ago; Bishop Den
ny occupies the chair of mental and
moral philosophy at Vanderbilt Uni
versity; Bishop Lambuth is senior
secretary of the board of missions
and is one of the foremost missionary
men of the world; Bishop Mouzon
has done all grades of ministerial
work in his home conference, the
West Texas.
One of the surprises of the electiou
is the large number of college men
elected. It was thought that more
men from the ranks of the active
pastorate would be put in. All of
these men, however, have done pas
torial work in their time. Another
surprise was that no one else among
the connectional officers was elected.
Many people confidently expected
the election of Mr. W. F. McMurray,
secretary of the church extension
board, and Rev. H. M. Dubose, secre
tary of the Epworth League board.
These men will in all probabilty be
continued in their present positions.
Rev. W. N. Ainsworth received a
fine vote and will be almost sure of
election four years from now. The
fact of his being bo recently elected
to the head of Wesleyan College and
being so much needed in that impor
tant place had something to do with
his not being chosen at this time.
The result of this week’s election is,
ou the whole, very pleasing and no
doubt will be to the church generally
These are all good men and have
made full proof of their ministry in
other places, and it is believed they
will serve God and the church in this
new relation.
The annual meeting of the North
Georgia Couferance will convene at
Athens, November 16 1910 and be
presided over by Bishop A. W. Wil
son.

election on the issuance of $55,000 of
bonds for the erection of anew court
house. A company is being organ
ized at LaCrange to build a $50,000

“The good work that is being ac
complished by live commercial bod
ies was illustrated when Selma, Ala.,
captured the branch plant of a aorth
era automobile company which de
cided to manufacture the hardwood
parts of autos in the south, and
Rome, also through the efforts of its
commercial organization, secured a
pants and overalls factory. In At
lanta the chamber of commerce con
templates the erection of an office
building for its home at a cost of over
$200,000.”
“To a showcase company at Colam
bus was awarded the contract for a
large number of showcases for use in
San Juan, Porto Rico. At Macon a
power company which is preparing
to distribute electric current over a
wide area, awarded contracts for the
erection of a power station at For
syth and Sriffin. At Leighton, Ala.,
the contract for the erection of a high
sehool was awarded. A tract of land

CURE FOR SMALL POX, SCARLET
FEVER, SNAKE OR MAD DOG BITE
A treatment that Mr. Pinnock says
is a good one: The following small
pox remedy was given to the public
by a correspondent of the Stockton,
(Cal.) Herald, who says: I herewith
append a receipt which has beea
used to my certain knowledge in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent
or cure sma l pox, though the pit
tings are filling. When Jennor dis
covered cow pox in England the
world of science hurled an avulanche
of fame upon his head, but when the
most scientific schools of medicine
in the world —that of Paris —pub-
lished this receipt as a panacea for
small pox, it passed unheeded. It is
as unfailing as fate, and conquors in
every instance. It is harmless when
taken by a well person. It will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the re
ceipt:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove, 'digitalis) one grain; one half
teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two
tablespoonfuls of water. When thor
oughly mixed add four ounces of wa
ter. Take a teaspoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For a child, smaller
dose according to age.
In 1894 Col. C. R. Hanleiter, of At
lanta, furnished for publication the
following remedy for small pox:
One ounce of cream tartar dissolved
in pint of boiling water, to be drank
when cold at short intervals. It can
be taken at any time, and is a pre
ventative as well as a curative. It is
known to have cured in a hundred
thousand cases without failure. It
never leaves marks and will cure in
three days.
The Indian cure for rattlesnake
bite:
One onion about two inches in di
ameter and about 3 cents worth of
tobacco. Then get two tablespoon
fuls of salt; cut tobacco up fine, mix
tobacco and salt till it is well mixed.
It will make a poultice. Place this
on the wound. Make a new poultice
every six hours for twelve and it will
not even swell. Good for mad dog
bite alse. Apply as soon as possible.

A LAY SERMON ON THE
SiN OF COVETOUSNESS
The affections of Christians ere not
wholly consecrated to God, neither
are their possessions. It is true that
there are few who do not in theory
understand and admit the doctrine
that what we possess belongs to God ;
that our property, our children, our
all we simply hold as stewards, the
command being “occupy till I come.”
The great mass of property in the
churches is uncutisecrated property.
It is bought and possessed so self
ish purposes; it is not dedicated to
God and used with an eye single to
His glory. The root of this evil is
the love of money; an inordinate
love of money is termed covetous
ness, which is tlio besetting sin of
the world, the gr at foe of Christian
ity, exceedingly sly and artful, ex
ceedingly liable to escape unsuspect
ed and unreproved even in the bosom
of the church.
It is impossible for a profane man
or a drunkard to maintain a reput
able standing in the church. A covet
ous mau may do this because the sin
is within and because the avaricious
man is looked upon by his bret! ren
too charitably, and a sin in which it
is believed that he is indulging is not
made a matter for admonition and
church discipline.
That this is a sin displeasing to
God is manifest from its repeated
and terrible denunciations in the
scriptures. Once did God visibly
mark the murderer, (Gen. 4:15); once
did He inflict an awful punishment
upon the Sabbath breaker, (Num.
15:36) ; once did He cause the visible
penalty to be visited upon the head
of the blasphemer, (Lev. 24:10-15);
many fell beneath His displeasure
for the violation of the command,
•‘thou shalt not covet.”
Lot was stripped of all his posses
sions; Judas sold his Lord for gain,
and how fearful his end! Ananias
and Saphira, through covetousness
and hypocricy, stained the glory of
the primitive church and were smit
ten down by the wrath of the Al
mighty.
