So great is the demand for this specific that Harvey & Maltbie have been able to secure only a limited supplj , and every one who is trou-bled with dyspepsia, constipation or liver trouble should call upon them at once, or send 25 cents, and get s i x t y ' doses of the best medicine ever made, on this special half-price offer, with their personal guarantee to refund the money if i* does not cure.

T h e specific business was the hearing of the testimony in a claim presented by the firm of Wells and B r o y o f New York,deal-ers in hides. T h e firm has a series of claims against the tanner) which aggregate $24,000, Some of these claims are disputed and the testi-mony to settle that dispute is lengthy and complicated. Among other items is a consignment of hides which the firm purchased of the underwriters of a ship which was burned in New Y o r k harbor, and which were shipped to Mr. Fischer of the bankrupt firm.

I, the undersigned nonprofessing Christian, would like some of your honorable members to answer a tew questions that one of your fellow m«*, and a sinner, would like to kpibw; and also in order to enable you to see how the world at large regards you. Ilexcept the Church of Rome, for they do not believe thiit the Scriptures contain all things that a Christian is bound to befieve. See "Fai th of Our Fath e r ^ ' ' p a g e i n , Cardinal Gibbons.

t e «iiicei;^ aiiu belli ve what yott teach, wiien anyone who has made a fctudy of the Scriptures can see$ou ¡are' weighed in the balances and found most woefullj wanting?

Pfec.se t?ll me, any of you, where do |he Scriptures tell you to keep SuQday for the Sabbath, or the L o ^ ' s Day? and where was Sunday ever made holy? When Paul did nopteach such doctrine, and t;lls ycttthat anybne who teaches anv-th^p different from what lie taught s h J r b e accursed, what will be the fat#of those teachers who lay aside t h ^ l a i n testimony of the Bible, a n ^ u b s t i t u t e for the same the doctrines of men? Let Christ bear

.testimony in this case. Matt. 15:

Dp you say you do not know these things are in the Bible? I know that you do know it. Many of ypu teach this error knowingly. A g l i s t e r of my acquaintance told IBHJPIM h e knew thfere was no Scnpture for Sunday-keeping5 and I hi#e several books in my library 011 First-daj ysfiicredness, that ac-knowledge that there is no divine command for First-day sacrecness. And then those same ministers wonder why we sinners do not join their churches! It makes one be-lieve one of two things; namely, that the popular ministers are them-selves disbelievers in what they teach, or else they preach just as I run my tram—for dollars and cents.

Now I know from personal study of-the subject that Sunday is not the Sabbath; and I know that all the ministers th^t I ever talked with know it also, And what other conclusion can I, a worldling come to? N o w remember that I am-not a professed Christian and never have been; but if I ever should join any church, it will "Be one that keeps the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Rev. 14:12.

There is one other conclusion that I am sometimes compelled to contemplate when pondering over the fables taught from the popular pulpits; perhaps those teachers are fhe ones of whom we are told in 2 Thess.2: n , 12. They certainly nre not the ones spoken of in Phil. 4: 8,9. Sunday sacredness is hot true; it is not honest toward God, for it robs him of his own chosen, holy time. It is not pure worship; for many of the keepers of the day know better.

T h e true Christian me; Wiry don'!.,. livf! ti] light? I answer: The god world—riches-—has me in

say to 5 to. th.-

o f this the boat

with our popular ministers; and I cannot ace how men who preach er-ror, and know it, are any better than l am.

Again? They teach thai heathen doctrine of the immortality o^ the soul, and the teacher of that doc-trine it) the Bible has not much re-putation for the truth.- Gen. 3 : 4. He—Satan—is called a liar from the beginning. God told the man he should surely die. The serpent

told the woman, " Y e shall not surely d ie ." Now there is but one conclusion to "come "to—one told the truth and the otherlT't'alsehood. A c d most of the professed* Chris tians of the world to-day give Satan credit for telling the trnth in this instance.

Certainly nowhere in the Bible is the immortal soul spoken of. If the soul i i immortal, wnat use is there for a resurrection of the dead? And if the real man is in heaven r,t hell what ueed can there be pf a resur-rection? I f a l l men have life in-dependently of Chriit, what does man need of Christ? Christ says he is the way and the life. T h e min-isters of our day preach that all meu. have life independently of Christ. T h e Scripture says, " H e that bath not the Son of God, hath not l i fe . " 1 John 5:1a, , /

Again: the Scriptures tell us ih John 14: 3. " I will come again and

¡receive \ou unto myself: that where i am there ye may be also." Why wiU Christ come again if ail his chostn ones are already in heaven? Such doctrine makes. vSi 11 the se-cond coming of Christ. And if there is no second coming of Christ j theu there will be no resurrection of the dead, and consequently, no future life for believers, since the second coining of Christ is to ac-complish, the resurrection of "his saints. 1 Thess. 4 : 16.

Again: there can be no judgment day if all are judged when they die; unless all are judged (twice; and that is to charge God with folly. A s I am writing to Bible students, I consider it unnecessary to give Sciipture references.

Agaid^et me ask, when is com-ing the time that'is spoken of in Rev. 5:13, if millions of our fellow creatures are to suffer throughout eternity in a burning seething hell?

And now to notice one other doctrine held by some of the popu-lar churches; namely, baptism. The Scriptures tell Us there is"oneLord one faith, one baptism.'' Now if I read the Scriptures aright, repen-tanc€ and belief come before bap-tism, and I would ask the advocates ol infant baptism why they baptite anyone who has neither repented not believed, and Simply cannot repent or believe.. M i . ..

There 1B another plainly taught doctrine in the bible that is ignored by all the chutihes, as far as I know with but three exceptions; namely,the ordinance ° f the humil-ity of Christ, or- feet-washing. " B u t , s a y s one, ' ' j o u make ma blush by speaking or such things." Perhaps you will blush now;* but what do you imagine you will te]l Christ when he asks ypu if yon knew these things? John 4-17. T h e question with We is, Did Christ know what he was talking about or not? I think he knew what he wan-ted his followers to do; at least he says, ' " I f I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye ought alto to wash one anotheris feet . " ¡Now man, whoever you are who ptofess to be Christ's, do you do as Christ tells you that you " o u g h t " ? Do you wssh your brother's feet? And. now, woman, do you wash your sister's feet? If not, are yon Christ's from a Bible standpoint? Remember, God is not mocked, and if you will not do these things and will disregard his word when pUinly understood;then you are not and of necessity cannot be, any better than I am, and j know I am a sinner. Now if Christ knew what he wanted to say, and did say it, then I should obey were I a 'professor of Christianity. I could write a week on these and kindred subjects and not exhaust them, and I like to talk on the same subject when I meet a minis-ter, And as I do not wish to hide my identity,and am respon-sible for these lines,I will tell yon who I am. M y name is Samuel D. Heady. For more than twenty years I have been a railroad con-ductor. A t the present time I am and for about fourteen years have been, in the employ of the Santa Fe system. I .was born in South New Berlin, N . Y . If I am wrong in any of the foregoing matters I would thank any one on . earth to show me my error;
