Editor Press and Banner: The following old paper, dated January 15th, 1787, speaks very plainly of the Christian faith of our forefathers. The petition will, no doubt, prove to be of great interest to the members of the church named, as it is the origin of its existence. If the old church book mentioned has been lost, by publishing the petition a valuable record will be restored to the church. Mark how simple, straightforward ?nH p?rnpsf, t.hf* flantiments exnressed are,?giving a simple and healthy declaration of faith. The petition is as follows: "To the Honorable John Lloyd, Enquire, President, and the Honorable Members of the Senate: 'The petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of Abbeville and Laurens counties in the District of Ninety-Six, humbly sbewetb,? "That your petitioners having united themselves as a Society for the purpose of religious worship and subscribed in (heir Church Book to the following articles of faith, to wit: "First. That there is one Eternal God. "Second. That there are future states of reward and punishment. ? "Third. That God is publicly to be worshipped. "Fourth. That the Christian religion is the true religion. "I" HID. mat tne noiy ncripiurra in i the Old and New Testament are of di- I vine inspiration, and the only rule of faith ana practice. "Sixth. That it Is the duty of every man being thereto called by those who govern, to bear witness to truth.

( WATER, ELIXIR OP LIFE. ! ? i The Internal Bnth Far More Easentlal to Bodllj Well Being Tban tbe Ex5 ternal One. 1 Tne vase majority 01 us arms wacer r simply because we are impelled to do ' so by the sense of thirst, without con' sidering its necessity in the mainteu ance of health. Yet all thoughtful 1 medical men must agree with the , well-known dietician, who says that . "drinking not enough water is the greatest and most common of dietetic [ errors." To fully understand why ) the omission of a liberal amount of drinking water is so grave a crime ) against the laws of health we must i understand what water can do in the prevention of disease ; and to realize ' thle fully we*must know the function > of drinking water in health. 1 A most sclen<ific and discriminat1 ing professor in physiology asked his t advanced class the chief use of water to the body, and he was well satisfied ' with the simple and practical answer, I "to wash the body out." The "in1 ternal bath" is far more essential to health than the "external bath," just - as muco more lmporiaai as me id- , temal organs are to it than the skin, [ and it must be obvious that for cleansing tbeBe organs, pure, clean water is 1 essential. There is a perpetual water famine in most human systems, a condition 1 of things to which is accorded the 1 responsibility of the sad faot that the delicate flower of human youth and i beauty so soon fade away. The most amateurish gardener needs no Jessons on the value of water for the welfare of his plants, but few indeed are the | keepers of the priceless blossoms of human life who realize the necessity ' for the same delicious draughts of supporting vitality. Women in particular abhor the simple glass of water, sipping tea, cupful after cupful, doting | upon their breakfast coffee, but of i water quaffing not a drop for days, even in summer; preferring the sugary pleasures of the soda counter to tl\cir annrnho/i iVirnata a area 1. I VUVilUg VUVIi OVWIVUVIU VUi VMVW M U If Ma low of refreshing water. The correct adequate performance of every function or the body depends upon the quantity and quality of water taken into the system daily. If the water is scanty or impure, every organ is retarded, tbe free circulation of tbe blood through the microscupio capillary tubep, one of life's most important processes, is seriously interfered with, the depurtation through various organs and channels of excretion and secretion impeded. Hence a slow certain poisoning; of tbe system ensues. Water, while continually passing from the body, always carries with it c more or less waste, worn-out poisonous matter, which constantly generate In tbe system, as well as Injurious particles introduced from without. Every expelled breath is luden with watery vapor containing impurities. Insensible perspiration thrown off with countless impure particles passes out through the skin. The same is true of the kidDeys aod other channels of elimination, the vehicle for cleans- n ing any part of the body being always water. The process is similar to that of cleansing a spoiled sponge, the thoroughness being proportionate with the quantity and purity of the water, the rapidity also dependiug on the same factors. a As a nutritive factor water plays an L equally important role in the system. , The fact that it constitutes nearly J1 4 h pno-fAii Ko r\ f f Ka human hnHtr fa iuicc"iuui mo V/I IUV liuuiau uuujr 10 y alone positive proof of this statement. Blood contains 80 per cent of water. C muscles 75 per cent, brain nearly 8u g per cent, gaatric juice 97J per cent, saliva 99A percent, bones 13 percent, and even "the teeth 10 per cent. In- sufficient water supply, therefore, means a lack everywhere in the constitution which water alone can furnish. Pure water also makes most power- o ' r'-ir.'ani , /r Zc ALL COOKS M11! r-si?

Now what is it that makes the arteries old ? Blood vessels', young and healthy, are extensively elastic, permitting the btyod to sirculate through them freely. But In old age they become hard and unyielding, with diminished capacity and a smaller blood stream flowing through with leas swmnees. xnis i change is effected by the deposits in I the blood cells, with the walls of1 blood vessels, of fibrinous and gelatinous substances, lime and other earthly compounds contained in the food taken into body.' This deposit is apt to occur in the densest structures of the system, in the joints, in the tendons, In the muscles, in every organ and tissue of the body; in short, wherever the blood circulates, heart, lungs, digestive tract, organs of secretion and excretion, brain and nerves, everywhere clogging the vital machinery, impairing the action of one and ill, and hastening the time when the human machine ceases to act. Nature provides a solvent for the plants and vegetable life with rata water, the next greater solvent after distilled water. It percolates through the arth, and iD its course dissolves and I absorbs various organic and i' organic substances with which it comes in jontact. In the same way water taken into the system as food and irink circulates into the minutest parts of the body, disoslves, absorbs, and carries out with it the unused and waste tissues, orgauic and mineral matters which poison and impede the action of the system. It purifies blood and tissues, washes away all the poisons which produce rheumatism, gout, congestion of the liver, kidneys and Dther organs. So in a general way we may see that the ingestiou of water is essenLf.? *. itr 1 Al LIB1 ID lilts ttuu eeseutiai iaj ucaitii, auu it may be safely sard tbat tbe bealtb will improve in exact ratio to tbe imouat of pure water taken in. Many jases of indigestion may be remedied by proper cleansing of the mouth and :eeth. How much more important is the cleansing of those more important iigestive organs?the stomach and the Intestines ! Tbe poisonous products of life accumulate rapidly and unless these be eliminated produce a large class of 'autointoxications." These toxions give rise to rheumatism, gout, sore :hroat, common colds, headaches and i lone train of maladies with which ill are familiar. Tbe faulty action of ;hese eliminative organs is responsible por the piling up of poisons, lowering ;he resistance of the body to disease, lestroying the so-called "natural imnunity," and permitting freer action >f tbe disease germs which may have rained access to the body in any way. rhus it may be seen that the simple nechanical action of pure water may >revent a long list of pathological conlitions by wholly removing the cause. y Clay and unknown peas for sowing a Henn'e.
