Gentlemen:
I have been a constant sufferer
from Rheumatism for the past six
years, my right arm was so badly af
fected at times that I could not use
it and consequently lost a great deal
of time from my work. During my
four years residence in New York I
was treated by several specialists
with only temporary relief and on
moving to Charlotte two 'years ago I
had several physicians treat me and
was advised to take the baths at the
Sanitorium which gave me only pas
sing relief, then after almost giving
up hope a friend 6f mine gave me a
bottle of L-RHEUMO to try and
while I had no faith in it, I wanted
to please my friend and so about the
10th of July I began taking L-RHEUMO
and oner six-ounce bottle made a
new man of me riot, only giving me
back the use of my arm, but improved
my general health to such an extent
that I gladly recommend this medi
cine to all the people.
Yours gratefully. A. LOUISA.

"PASTOR" RUSSELL DIES
ON TRAIN IN THE WEST
Inflercndent Minister and Editor of
tl i Watch Tower Succumbs to an
Attack of the Heart.
Csindian, Tex., Oct., .31. Charles
TaL' Russell, known as "Paster"
Ruh.idl, an independent minster, edi
tor of the Watch Tower and promi
nent author of . studies on the Scrip
ture, died this afternoon on Atchi
son, Topeka and Santa Fe tra'n en
xoute from Los Angeles to New York.
Heart disease was given as the cause.
I'a.-.tor Russell was an independent
Teli'iuus worker. He was familiar to
church-goers and those who never
-V.T..f I ,,1...MAU . 1 .1, 1, .. 1 -F .
California to. the North, Sea. AH over
the United States and England he hell
pastorates simultaneously.
Pastor Russell 's f ul name , was
Charles Taze Russell. He was born
In Allegheny, Pa., on February' 16,
I8o2, the son of Joseph L. and Ann
IFMt.a. (B'rney) Russell. He was rear
ed tinder the teachings of the Congie
3ation;d Church, and his education
was. gained under private tutors. At
the tender ae of twelve, the boy be-
3?an to think His mind became con
fused because of the inconsistency, it
seemed to li!m, of God, whom he was
taught h believe was Love, condemn
ing fio creatures to endles torment
as the result. of their sins, even while
knowing that these creatures were not
able,, in their imperfection, to walk
Jree from sin.
-Fail.ng to find satisfaction by in
qury of his teachers, young Russell
rejected his religious teachings, and
later rejected the Bible, which he had
Teen told taught this doctrine so dis-
'pleasing to him.
For many' years Russell searched
the creeds of other denominations and
"the writings of religious men and phil
osophers. Then he turned again to
the Bible; thinking that, after all, his
"teachers might have been misin
formed.
H:3 study of the Bible, analytically,
'text by text, was rewarded. He be
ame convinced that the Bible did not
ttcach eternal torment for the wicked;
Tbnt that, on the contrary, God had a
wonderful plan, revealed to.him in the
Scriptures, so vast, so grand, that he
wrmdered that he had never seen it
before.
He then became Pastor Russell. He
did mot found a new religious creed,
Imt established an independent minis
try. He had acquired a fortune from
n chaia of stores which his business
aV.lUv and thrift enabled him to up
build. He' sold his . business and ded
icated his future years and his for
tune to his independent preaching.
That was in 1878, at Pittsburg.
During all these years he has trav
elled some 30,000 miles a year, mak
ing semi-annual trips to England. His
two big centers have been at Brook
lyn and at London, where his famous
tabernacles were .headquarters for the
spreading of Pastor Russell's work.
Pastor Russell founded the Inter
national Bible Student's Association,
made up of men who have, like him
self, given up everything to spread the
message ' that the punishment of the
B.ble toward sinners is eternal death
and not eternal torture.
Pastor Russell conducted his wide
spread work without collections or
solicitations of any kind. His books
on the interpretation of the Scrip
tures have had wide distribution, and
are said to reach the enormous figure
of 700,000 a year.
Pastor Russell 's sermons have been
published by 2.000 newspapers
throughout the United .States and Eu
rope. It is doubtful whether any the
ologian has been wider read than this
independent preacher.

The Rev. II. A. McCullough, of
Columbia, S. C, delivered a masterly
address at the morning service. His
text was I Thessalonians 5 :21 : 1 'Prove
all things; hold fast that which is
good." The subject drawn from this
was, ' 4 Private Interpretation." The
word of God was held. up as the only
rule by which any doctrine or con
fession should be measured. The
speaker exhorted every individual, aud
especially every pastor to use the pro
cess of proving, of testing, of reject
ing, ot holding fast, everything new
that appears from, day to day. It
was also urged that a closer study
of God's Word and of the confes
sions of the Church of the Reforma

Christ, the Righteous, as the only Sa
vior of the world should be held fast.
At the afternoon service the Rev.
R. R. Sowers, pastor of Organ and
Evenezer Churches in Rowan county,
delivered a strong address, using 2nd

Then came the appeal that the Word

that are pervading the church of to

of the strongest.
Of the State Department in Regard
to Sinking of Marina, Lansing
Says.
Washington, Nov. 1. Scrr'tary
Lansing authorized a formal statt--;
ment today that the progrcj-s of-"th
political campaign would in no -way-affect
the investigation of the sub
marine attacks, and that "there had
been no change in the I'nitcd -'State
government's policy.
Meanwhile Count von Bernftorff,
the German ambassador, Rent a wire
less to his government asking that he
be furnished immediately bv win U-m
with all the details available in r- j Inn p.;.
gard to the sinking of the Marina. tI;a
secretary Lansing made it plain also !
that no decisive act:on would be tak
en till Germany had had an oppor
tunity to reply to the inquiry for her
version of the attack on the Marina
and Rowanrrore. .
Instructions ent to the embassy at
Berlin are aid to have asked more
for an investigation by Germany, and
not for an exjdanat'on. It was not
meant to indicate that the United
States believed that it had any pnf
that Germany had violated her
pledges. No affidavits of American
survivors have yet been received, b it
they are expected to begin arriving
shortly. Tbe department has request
ed that they be cabled, immed'ately.
The question of whether the Marina
was armed is becoming increasingly
important. No mention of that -has
been made in advices so far received,
and embassy in London has asked for
information.
Germany has contended that the
ship was armed. even with small
s'ern guns for defense only, should
not be entitled to ordinary iruaran-
tees, but sank on Eight, as be.ng prac
tically a naval auxiliary.
The fact that England has bet-n
arming more and more of her merch
antment.has raised a vital question in
Germany's consideration of a wider
submarine campaign. - -
Officials here leave no doubt thit
the United States will not accept such
a contention by Germany. The gov
ernment will stand on that point as it
has stood throughout
