IiETTER FORM DR. E. O. WATSON. * Visit to Baltimore.?Billy Sunday Meeting.?Visits Wasliington. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?It is a real joy to be at home again in Bamberg. Some one recently remarked, "Bamberg is the best town between Bamberg and Augusta." I can say, from the heart, more: Bamberg is the best town between Bamberg and Baltimore. It is not the biggest. It is not the richest, but on its own scale it has the elements that go into the making of the finest. It is our own town. It is home, for me, "home" in the sense of the defi I nition "Home is where the heart is." It is good to be back, and with the assurance of expert specialists that I may soon be at work again with full strength. Dr. L. F. Barker, who had my case ;in charge for advice and * supervision, and Dr. J. T. Geraghty, \ the specialist by whom I was treated, pronounce the trouble cured and the cause removed. Naturally some limitations caused by the ravages of years must remain, but these need not be a serious handicap. Dr. Barker gave final advice as to method k of living eminently suited to a retired capitalist, but rather hard for a Methodist preacher to follow who wishes to keep in the work and out -of the hands of the joint board. I give the advice here for those who may be in position to follow it: "Rev tire at ten o'clock. Take half an bour exercise in the open air each morning, and another half hour each afternoon. Lie down for an hour each day after dinner. Never fatigue f yourself. Eat reasonably what you like. Drink an abundance of water. Look carefully after your teeth, es specially brushing before lying down at pight, and having a good dentist go carefully over them every three months. Let us hear from you, ana 1f things go wrong come back." UnWm questionably a good regime, but as HHp unquestionably hard to follow by a HV man who has real work to do, especially as the servant of the public. H Johns Hopkins. The spirit of Johns Hopkins, H through and through* is courteous ^ efficiency. Thi?"~ spirit is evident everywhere from the humblest orderly to the most distinguished specialist. They do nothing hap-hazard. . They are equipped for the work they attempt. They know what they are doing, and they do it in a way that inspires confidence. The Brady building, in which I was treated, is the gift of a grateful patient at a noorlv a millinn dollars Thp tradition of the gift is that Mr. Brady paid Dr. Young, the distinguished head of the department, $100,000 for the treatment that fully restored him, and then asked what he could do for him that would be really worth while. The answer is the present building with its perfect equipment. Here those who can pay,, as Mr. Brady, and those who can pay nothing, receive the same scientific treatment, and the same courteous attention. Here they meet on a common plane, and^o forth with the * same new life and hope. In my 1 \ heart, I feel that friends of mine are V today in their graves who might have H been many years yet among us as efJf ficient workers had they been directed to these men at Hopkins. In the urological department, Dr. Young is the head, and Dr. Geraghty his chief associate. Dr. Geraghty is yet a young man, and is the coming man of this country in his department. Several vital things in the wonderful treatment afforded at Johns Hopkins are Dr. Geraghty's discovery. His wonderful skill is the marvel of skilled men in his own line. The world will hear more and more of him, and increasing multitudes will join in praying long life and every blessing upon this wonderfully skilled specialist and princely gentleman. Several of the gentlemen through whose hands I passed are sons ol preachers. Dr. Barker, among these, rejoices as the son of a preacher to pass on to preacher^ of the gospel such blessing as he may by his skill in memory of his honored father. Let none who need what Johns Hopkins can give hesitate because of the idea that the cost is enormous. If you are able to pay enormous fees such will in fairness be charged. The poorest, however, may receive the same treatment at a cost little, if any, in excess of that at any hospital. Baltimore, Baltimore is a great city. The changes since I was at school there thirty-one years ago are marked. The great fire swept away many of the old landmarks. Yet it is the same "Monumental City" grown greater. having now a population or more than half a million. The wholesale ^ business feature is evident, and is growing despite the lure to Southern merchants of ''Greater New York.' The manufacture of clothing is a conspicuous line. I went through one great clothing factory employing three thousand operatives. Sanitar; conditions, and other provision foi emrdovees, seemed to be un to stan dard. The organization and genera system was intensely interesting and instructive. While interested in all this, I was, however, more interested in the human equation in the effect of such system upon the men and women employed. Think of three thousand men and women in one establishment, each of whom has just one thing to do, a thing that requires the repetition of just two or three movements, such as pressing a button to start and again to stop a machine, or press down a lever with the foot and push an iron over a few inches of seam through every moment J mu rto UI tL W or Kills UilJ. J. ucy uaii icaiu ao much in ten minutes, or at least in a day or two, as they will ever know about their job. No improvement, no development is possible. There is nothing to make brain count, just a human machine working a machine. Baltimore is great in its religious life. Whatever may be said of the wickedness of this city in common with all great cities, the general tone of things morally appeared better than that of other cities, smaller and larger, of which I have had some slight knowledge. The sabbath is more regarded. Churches and church influences are more in evidence. It is a matter of rejoicing to a Methodist that Methodism, so early centred in Baltimore as the headquarters of Asbury, abides there in power. In large audiences of as many as twenty thousand the names of great reformers and leaders of other denominations were heartily cheered, but the name of Wesley brought tremendous and prolonged cheering, showing that Methodism is leading the religious forces of that great city. Billy Sunday. My stay in Baltimore covered two weeks of the preparation for the coming of Billy Sunday, and two weeks of his actual work. Right here I may say the work would amount to coiriparatively little without the preparation. The preparation is the greater part of a great revival. Everybody in Baltimore knew of "Billy" long before he came. Everyone was expecting something remarkable? some expecting one thing, some another?but all expectant. "Something is going to happen." The organization is perfect. Months of preparation through the training of a choir of two thousand, the training of classes for Christian service, noon prayer-meetings, and various forms of organized effort, would in themselves produce a wonderful revival. There must be at least five thousand men and women fully organized in the campaign as regular workers to say nothing of the additional thousands pledged to help in prayer and incidental work. As to Mr. Sunday himself: He is unquestionably a remarkable man. He has had just the past and comes up from just the conditions and in the way that appeals to the average American. He appears a typical I AmQnMn and anneals to Dractically xiuivi ivuu) v?Mvk mrr ?**- * * all classes. His preaching, stripped of the questionable things concerning which there is greatly differing opinion, is plain, practical, clear cut. He speaks in a language the people understand. He does not challenge thought, but he has somehow gotten together many gems of expression. He quotes well and can bring in a story, a poem, or a classical allusion aptly and with fine effect. He preaches a strictly orthodox orthodoxy, so far as it goes. With all that, however, comes his talk of the streets, vying with the newsboy and proverbial fish-monger in slang and billingsgate which he often puts in the mouth of God; his mannerisms of a ball player winding up to pitch or holding himself in position to strike when the ball comes over the plate?which antics, by the way, always bring cheers from the audience that remind one of the ball park?his tearing off and kicking his collar and cravat off the stand; his jumping up? 4.1, - or?/1 nnnn thp DulDit Of UII my uiia.110 auu v r . the platform; his lying down flat on the platform and shouting as through a megaphone representing himself as God speaking from the heavens to the various grfeat leaders of religious i movements in the slang of the streets ! ?all these "antics" and many more "too numerous to mention," which api pear studied rather than spontaneous, > make a fair, good, orthodox preacher > into "Billy Sunday," rapidly becomf ing a popular idol and fad. The criticism, that he is to the regular preaching of the gospel what vaude, ville is to the legitimate drama, is, I , believe, justified. He has very aptly i been styled the "Charlie Chaplin" of , the gospel. He is a popular idol just ; now, so is Charlie Chaplin. Charlie Chaplin shows the taste of the times , and is a commentary on our day, so , of Billy Sunday. Charlie Chaplin has 5 rare ability, and is what he is be1 cause of his artistic ability to make himself rediculous, so of Billy Sun. day. ?

Husband and Wife Both Saved From Suffering I wish to tell you the good results myself and husband received from Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. About eleven years ago I had a severe attack of La Grippe and was confined to my bed about eight weeks under the doctor's care. He pronounced my case kidney trouble and rheumatism and nnt rpnpivin^ the results from the doctor's treatment I should have received, I decided to try Swamp-Root. After taking several bottles of Swamp-Root I was able to get up and attend to my work. About a year later my husband was affected with a severe attack of kidney trouble and doctored for some time with the doctors and received no benefit. Knowing of the good I had received, he decided to try Swamp-Root. His condition was such that he was confined to his bed and words cannot tell how he suffered, but after taking SwampRoot he was relieved so he -could go on with his work without pain. I wish to heartily recommend SwampRoot to all persons afflicted with kidney and bladder troubles and you may publish this letter if you wish. Yours truly, MRS. A. E. BRIGGS, Eldred, Pa.
