W.F Tuesday’s train Trogdon came up on Some months ago a statement was made in the Baptist from the min utes of the Stony Fork Association in regard to Carroll Johnson. This brought an article from Bro. Phillips followed by Rev. Crisp. These breth ren seem to differ in regard to the Divine healing power of man. As to Johnson’s Divine healing power, we were recently informed by a brother who had investigated his right of power to a certain e.xtent, found that he had his right from AVeitner, and if he has such power, it is Scientific and not Divine. A letter has been re ceived from Weitner, stating that Johnson was a student of his. This is what a reliable brother told us, and we believe it to be a fact. We hope, however, these brethren who are writing on this subject will do so in an instructive manner and nr>t to wound the feelings of any one. It may be good for us to get more light on the subject of the power of Divine healing. Caldwell Letter. For The Blue Ridge Baptist. Dear Editors I enjoy your weekly visits. Your paper contains much that in terests me—your locals, news notes, your correspondents, religious, edu cational and temperance articles. You are doing a good work. You ought to have a large list of sub scribers, and 1 hope it is growing. Then the subscription price is so low for such a paper as you are making. I wish I could send you a list, but I have lost my aptitude, if I ever had any, for getting subscribers. Cald well Baptists have not gone wild o- ver taking and reading religions pa pers. 1 try to get them to, but they are set on their ways. I am so busy with my farm work, and my poor churcl es, that I find little time to write. I have to occupy so much time on the road. It takes about 100 miles travel monthly to reach my churches. This day a week ago. Revs. J. L. Sherwood and J. M Bayne assisted me in organizing a Baptist church in the town of Blowing Rock. I had been preaching there for a short time under the direction of the E\. Com. of the Three Fork Association, and found ihe Baptist people anxious to have a church. We organized with I:i members, and expect the number to he materially increased at nextap- pointmei t. I urged this 15 years ago but could not get the brethren to act, and much has been lost. The Presbyterians, .Methodists and Epi !- copalians have (irganized churches and some of our people have united with them. Then we could have gotten a desira ble lot ilmost or quite given to us, now it will be difficult to procure a real desirable location even at a high price. Often Baptists lose much by peing slow to act. AVe will have to ask. in the near future, the Baptisi. people generally to help us build, and I hope they w'ill respond. 1 hope we have been enabled to settle permanently a perplexing trouble relative to the Lenoir High School. Rev. J. G. Pulliam, finan cial agent, undertook to sell the property from ns, but we defeated him, and have put Prof. J. A White in charge of the property, and he will open fall term the 24th of Au gust, and I hope will have a good school, though much delayed in working for his school by the un settled condition of things. Bro. G. H. Church has remedied and enlarged the Lenoir Baptist church until it is one cf the best and prettiest churches in towm. I. W. Thomas. Lenoir, N. C., July 18, 1903. Rev. J. F. Fletcher, of Jefferson, has gone down to Greensboro to as sist Elder AA". H. Eller in a series of meetings. The piofits realized fi-om the Wilkes Excursion amounted toSji6.il. 31, which amount has been turned over to the Orphanage. Mr. Robert Elmore, Mt. Olive, N. C.. came in last Friday. Mr. El- mure has purchased Caffey Bro.s’ stock of Groceries and will continue business at the same stand under the firm name—Elmore & Co. Mr. El more will put in a full and fresh line of Groce lies.

Kvery boy and girl, every man and woman is today form ing a habit of either spending or saving. The spending habit leads to momeniary pleasure, lasting regrets and to an old age embittered by the pangs of poverty.

The second dollar saved starts a haoit that will lead to wealth. Each dollar you put at interest helps to earn the next dollar. Bring your savings to the Deposit and Saving Bank—it will safely lend your money and pay yon four per cent com pound interest on every nickel y(ui .'-ave.
