Our town has just passed through another two week's ordeal of "holiness, sanctifica tion and fire" by two 'of the holiness preachers, Page and Avant, of South Carolina. They preach fire and divine healing, and on Saturday evening pro ceeded to perform their mirac ulus miracales of!healing bv anointing with oil. Some claim ed to have been healed, and now say they will never again be guilty of taking medicine. The people of this community have seen this same thing tryed be fore and it did not hold out and it is just a matter of time when our people will learn not to trust too much in every "faith doctor" that comes along. If these things be true, then it is a pity the medical science, . and physicians of the land have not long ago found out that they were practicing a fraud on the people. We hope the day is not far distant wlifen such a craze as this may be known in our community no more, and that people will not be deluded by every fellow who comes along with a tent claiming to have peculiar power with Gpd. Let us pay more attention ' to our pastors the men of God who are among us and, whom we know. We often neglect our pastors both in sympathy and financially because some evangelist comes along preach ing that the church members, preachers and all are on . the downward road, and in many cases raising discord which ends in destruction to the church. Give us a rest from these goody-goody fellows who are going around turning the country up-side down, seeking coffers for their own support. FLOUR MILL.
