Editor PI'.0E's JOURNAL: Pleaso allow m1) Space in your paper to eXpress lily Opinion as touching the questions asked by tLho Brother Baptist in your last isSuo. It soeims to my mind when a preacher is called to sup)ly a clurch that he should he the head or leader 'of that body, as Overy body has or sBould havo but one head, and every organiza' ion shoud have but one leader. If a church desires services twice a imonth (or oftener) she can compensate her pastor according to his services, or accoiding to his iioods. This is, according to my mui d, the plan and ?,las as set forth by the Divine Creator, and Counsellor and Con. ductor of all goodness. This rule is sot forth in tho 25th chapter of '-t. Johl's Gospel, under the Para blo of the vine. One vino sup ports each and every branch of the vine; and ono branch supports each and every leaf of the branch. Also in St. John's Gospel, 10th chatptei, under the Parable of the <god She pard1, and this same rule~ muilst he~ op~pl:cod to every body anid Ivr ilrganizationi, even down to the smallest things. My mind canU imiaginle, seperate and aside from ths, we will have con fusion, divi sionls and filures. This a broad subject and one1 that can be dis cusede~ to considerable longth and as I only know a part of the truth and somo1 0one else knows a part, and by telling encil other a part it unght he p)osible for us to knowv t whole t ruth. Now Brethren, givo thoso ques t ions sJImo thoulghlt and doln' t re fuse to use yo0ur pen, for it will creato an interest bqtl) in our church and county paper. As this is imy first will do for BArIS-r No. 2. Do you tak coz with every chango in tlio feel raw ? And do sharp palns dart through your chcst? Don't you know tihese are danger signals which point to pneumonIa, bronchitie, or canumiptjen ltself ? II you are aiCling and payg Ieat flesh lately, they' are certainly dan:gcr signals. The quesI~tion for you to d~c'ide i, "htave I the vitality to throw off these diseases?" S Don't wait to try SCOT'rS EIMULSION " as a last re sort," There Is no remedy equal to it for fortifying the ef,'ie Prsyention is easy.
