Knowledge Differs from
Experience.
You may know about Cur

tried it? Do you know how
good it is? Do you know
that it is pleasant to the taste
and a sure cure? Do you
know how satisfactory it is
to have an article of this
kind in the house upon which
you may absolutely depend ?
You can begin to know
for 25 cents, which will buy
a bottle, and we wish to
know that if you are not
perfectly satisfied with your
investment, after testing it,

THE DALTON ARGUS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1899.
EPWORTH LEAGUE.
A Succinct Account of its Fourth
International Convention in In
dianapolis.
1219 North Beville Avenue,
I Indianapolis, Ind., July 28th, 1899.
j To the Editor of the Dalton Argos.
This is the most notable convention
! in the history of the Epworth League.
Without any particular inducement
of a physical character, such as
| other cities proffer in the.way
of mountain scenery and lake excur
sions or ocean grandeur, there has
been called together the largest num
ber of young Methodists that ever
convened in the history’ of the denom
ination. Those having knowledge of
the history of conventions in this city
for the past twenty years and more,
declare that there is an attendance
upon this convention of 28,000 to
30,000 persons; some make the figures
still higher.”
So reads the official statement re
garding the fourth international Ep
worth League convention held in this
city July 20-23. Indianapolis is un
doubtedly an ideal convention city.
Its broad, shady streets, fine resi
dences, its beautiful parks, excellent
street car service, healthy climate
and hospitable people all testify to
the fact. That Indianapolis is the
greatest convention city, is evidenced
by the fact that the average number
of conventions held in this city since
January 1, is two and a half per
week.
It would fill an entire book to write
of all the great meetings, the speak
ers, their speeches, and other hap
penings of the Epworth League con
vention, sol shall only tell of the
most important meetings and speak
ers. First there were the three
great meeting places; the immense
tent, capable of seating 8,000 people,
Tomlinson Hall, seating 5,000, and
Englishes Opera House, with a seat
ng capacity of 2,000. Meetings were
leld daily at each of these places at
the same time, and they never failed
to be crowded, especially in the
evening, when people were turned
away.
Then there were the three large
choruses, led at the Hall by Prof.
John M. Black, of Pennsylvania,
composer of that well known song,
“When the Roll is Called Up
Yonder”; at the Opera House by
Prof. W. A. Hemphill, of Texas, a
young man who is one of the best
known leaders of music in that sec
tion of the country; and at the tent
by the famous Prof. Excell, of
Chicago, who attained his first
national prominence by his associa
tion with the Rev. Sam Jones. The
accompanist at the tent for Prof.
Excell was Mrs. Anna Jones Graham,
Rev. Sam Jones’ daughter, who, to
quote from one of the daily papers,
“proceeded to make the keys talk
in a marvelous fashion.”
The first meetings of the convention
were held Thursday afternoon, July
20, at Tomlinson Hall and the tent.
The seating capacity of both places
being fully tested.
The south was veil represented
with speakers, as was also Canada,
throughout the entire programme of
the convention. At the tent, Thurs
day afternoon a response for the
church south was given by Rev.
Chas. O. Jones, of Bristol, and at the
Hall, a response was given by the
venerable Bishop Fitzgerald, of
Nashville. The Bishop is seventy
yearsold.havingentered the ministry
in Georgia in 1854, and is as he ex
pressed it, “on my way to heaven by
way of Georgia.” At the three
evening meetings a telegram from
the president was read, which ran as
follows:
“Please accept for the convention
my cordial best wishes and heartiest
goodwill.” Wm. MoKiNIiEY.
Friday afternoon the delegates en
joyed a band concert at the state fair
grounds, and in the evening there
were two great lectures. At the tent
Bishop Fowler lectured on Abraham
Lincoln, to an audience of six thous
and people. At the Hall, Gen. John
B. Gordon was to have lectured, but
through a mistake did not arrive
and Bishop McCabe consented to
take his place. When the Bishop,
who is called the “singing chaplain,”
appeared on the platform, he was
greeted with a burst of applause and
the people in one body rose and gave
him the chatauqua salute. Chair
man Hughes then stepped forward
and said: “I know what you want
and you are going to get it. Just be
patient a minute.” I t was then an
nounced that Bishop McCabe would
deliver his famous lecture on the
“Bright Side of Libby Prison.” This
produced a more deafening applause,
for the Bishop is a great favorite.
It was a strange coincidence that
many years after the close of the
civil war, the then Chaplain McCabe
of the 122nd Ohio volunteers, should
take the place of Gen. Gordon, to
deliver a lecture on the humorous
side of the war, only from the north
ern standpoint instead of the
southern The Bishop told of the
battle of Winchester, where he was
captured and taken before Gen. John
B. Gordon, who said when the Chap
lain asked for ambulances for the
wounded, “give these men fifty am
bulances if they want them.” “And
this,” continued the Bishop, “is the
Gen. Gordon, who in the United
States Senate, said lie could lead
across the Potomac a larger army to
fight for the flag than Gen. Lee had
ever led across the Potomac to fight
against the flag. The Bishop told
many other interesting stories and
anecdotes of the war, which space
forbids me to mention.
Saturday morning several meetings
'were held, at which a number of
Georgia people spoke. Indeed it
seemed to me that there were more
speakers from Georgia than any of
the southern states, with the possible
exception of Tennessee. But from
my point of view, the most impress
ive and effective meetings of the
convention were the farewell meet
ings Sunday evening. A dramatic
incident occurred at the tent, when
Bishop McCabe of the church north
and Bishop Galloway of the church
south, stood up and joined hands,
while 8,000 people gave them the
chatauqua salute. It was a scene
never to be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. At Tomlinson Hall
there was not even standing room,
while chairs were placed in the aisle.
The chorus sang the beautiful nation
al welcome song, composed by’ an
Indianapolis lady, expressly for the
convention. It was warmly ap
plauded. The chairman next intro
duced the first speaker of the evening
Rev. W. F. Wilson, of Canada,
whom I admired more than any
speaker I heard during the conven
tion. Dr. Wilson, who resembles
William Penn, spoke on Home
Missions, and during his address he
referred to the help two boys had
given a friend in starting him on the
right path, and turning to his right,
pointed to a man sitting a few feet
away. “And do you know who that
friend was,” lie said. “There he sits
—J. F. Berry, editor of the Epworth
Herald, Chicago.”
A great burst of applause greeted
this and numbers of cards were sent
up to Mr. Berry, who was chairman,
asking him to tell of his conversion.
Dr. J. F. Goucher spoke next on
“Foreign Missions.” It is said that
he by his wise advice and his purse,
has done more for missionary work
in India than any man living. His
address which was very interesting
was enthusiastically encored. Dr.
Berry then told the story 7 of his con
version and at the close there was
not a dry eye in the Hall and one
excitable old lady shouted vehement
ly. The most impressive part of the
meeting was the farewell consecra
tion service conducted by the vener
able Bishop Fitzgerald. A better
man could not have been selected to
stir up the religious feelings of the
people, and while he talked “amens”
and “hallelujahs” were heard from
all parts of the hall.
Numbers of delegates from every
state in the Union stood up and gave
their testimonies. “I’m from Utah,”
said one delegate, “and I’m still on
the road to heaven.” “I’m from
Buzzard’s Bay,” shouted another,
“and that does not keep me from
going right on towards heaven.”
“Thank God,” said the Bishop,
while the audience burst into a laugh*
“I’m mostly from Illinois,” shouted
a delegate, “and thank God I’m not
side tracked.” “That’s right said
the genial old Bishop, “I wish some
one would move to make me an
honorary member of the state of
Indiana.” As the Bishop said this
some one stepped up and pinned an
Indiana badge on his coat, and the
audience burst at once into singing
“Blest be the Tie that Binds.” The
good old Bishop was so overcome
that he sat down and wept like a
child. It was the most impressive
and touching scene I ever witnessed
and it will always linger in my mem
ory’ as one of the many evidences of
the unity of the North and South.
The Bishop next called on those
who would meet him “When the
Roll is Called Up Yonder,” to wave
their handkerchiefs when they sang
the chorus of the song of that name.
It was indeed a thrilling moment.
Then everybody’ shook hands with
each other, and as the great throng
surged out into the night the air
t IHv v -. kw
Out in Kansas
lives a happy wife. She writes: “ 1
have used Mother’s Friend before
two confinements. The last time I had
twins, and was in labor only a few min.
utes. Suffered very little.” The reasot
why
Mother’s Friend
does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. It helps be
cause the pores of the skin readily absorl
it, and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished;
and nervousness is kept completely away
The sense of dread and foreboding is nd
experienced, even during labor itself
Confinement is short and almost withod
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. BeS
of all, Mother’s Friend benefits th<
unborn just as much as the expectan
mother, and when the little one conies I
will be strong, lusty and healthy.

best medicines we ever had in the house.
It saved my little daughter's life. lam
