The following item from the Pittsburg, (Pa.) Christian Advocate of April 25 will interest the friends of Bro.

While they were at prayer-meeting the people gathered in, took complete possession of the house and prepared to give them a general pounding. Before they came home the lights were extinguished and when they came in, not knowing the house was filled with people till a general laugh was given by those present. The lamps were soon lighted and after considerable handshaking all adjourned to the church where a short program was rendered, consisting of songs, recitations, and a good general talk by Rev. Casselman, and a response by Rev. Irwin, after which all returned home feeling that they had been benifitted by their presence and the events of the evening.Cheney Sentinel.

The baccalaureate sermon before the high school graduating class this year, was preached by Rev. Don S. Colt, pastor of the First M. E. church, of Wich ita, at the auditorium last evening.

Dr. Colt took for his subject, "The Angel of Dawn," using as his central illustration the story of the angel wrestling with the patriarch, Jacob, as given in Genises 32, 24. In the development of the theme he dwelt with much force and impressiveness upon the evils confronting the young people of this day and generation, the vices of intemperence, of sloth and of civic unrighteousness that must be struggled with and overcome if individual character is to be strengthened and the life of the nation purified and ennobled. It was a very eloquent effort and was greatly enjoyed by the large audience present. -Wellington Press.

We were pleased to receive another call the other day from our good old friend, Bro. E. Dorsey, of Geuda Springs. A few weeks ago Bro. Dorsey passed through this city, in his own private conveyance, on his way to attend the Methodist conference at Hutchinson, stopping over here to visit his daughter, Sister W.

D. Taylor, of West Wichita. After spending a few weeks with friends in Reno and Rice counties, he returned via Wichita, and again visited his friends here. On a former visit to this office he subscribed for the METHODIST for his daughter, Sister Taylor, and on his last visit he subscribed for another daughter, Sister S. J.

Wilson, of Hutchinson. Bro. Dorsey is an elderly gentleman, left pretty much alone, but is well fixed to enjoy life, which he does to his heart's content, being an old-fashioned Methodist and a staunch prohibitionist. In his rounds he has been talking for the METHODIST among his friends, and he says he is surprised to find so many Methodist families without church papers, and on account of scarcity of money it is hard to introduce these papers now.

(CONTRIBUTED.) A WISH. D. H. HARE. Oh that when I have been called away From scenes of distress and woe, That those who are left behind may say, "He's gone--we miss him so!" Oh, that when life's shall fade, As shadows come and go, Oh that of me it may be said, "He's gone-we miss him so!" Oh, that when dear ones gather still, As often they used to do, They may say as they feel a sudden thrill, "He's gone--we miss him so!" how sweet to know that when life is o'er, And we go as we ought to go, That the echoes shall waft to theother shore, "They've gone--we miss them so!" Ah, yes! thoughts do live in hearts left behind When loved ones are called from below; And ties that were strong are closer bound As we whisper, "We miss them so!" WICHITA, KANS.

We have received a copy of the souvenir edition of Kellogg's Wichita Record, a magnificent, mammoth sheet containing-besides much other interesting matter, including a full description of the coming Atlanta Exposition, with cuts of buildings, etc. -a description of the Kellogg co-operative system of newspaper printing in general, and of the Wichita branch house in particular. It is issued in honor of the removal of this house--of which Mr. Gerald Volk is the local manager--into its fine new home in the Oliver building, near the Union depot, on East Douglas avenue, where the plant has been supplied with additional machinery, and put in better shape than ever for future operations. As the WESTERN METHODIST was issued from the presses of this institution for several years, we still have an interest in the boys over there.

The several departments of this establishment occupy three floors, with a fine office on the first floor, fronting on Douglas avenue, and are in charge of the following subordinates, respectively, all adepts in their particular part of the business: Composing rooms and telegraph department, E. V. Welch; "make-up" department, P. W. Past; stereotyping department, A.

K. Gove; press room, Lon Denton; shipping department, Phil Alexander. And this notice would not be complete without a mention of the modest, polite, accommodating, faithful and efficient book -keeper and stenographer, Miss Tillie Himsteadt, who has been with the house for several years. IMPORTANT TO TRAVELERS. For the information of those desiring to attend the Southern Baptist convention at Washington, May 9-16, 1895, the route via Memphis, and the old reliable Memphis Charleston railroad is strongly recommended.

The trains via this line wait at Memphis for the arrival of trains from the west. The schedule is to leave Memphis on 1 their famous "Washington Vestibule," which leaves at 9:30 p. m. and arrives at ton the second morning at 7:40, in time for breakfast. One of the interesting features about this train is that the WHOLE train as it leaves Memphis goes through to Washtngton without change- -through day coaches, baggage cars and elegant Pullman Sleepers -and NO EXTRA CHARGE, because it is a vestibuled train.

This route is the best, and trains pass in full view of the historic Lookout Mountains, where the famous battle above the clouds was fought, and also traverses the beautiful Shenandoah valley. Meals can be secured enroute at reasonable prices at lunch counters and dining-rooms. A Pullman Dining car, where the very finest meals are served, is attached to this train.

Any such school will please communicate with W. V.

A Little Daughter Of a Church of England minister cured of a distressing rash, by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Mr. RICHARD BIRKS.

the well-known Druggist, 207 MeGill Montreal, P. says: I have sold Ayer's Family Medicines for 40 years, and have heard nothing but good said of them. I know of many Wonderful Cures performed by Ayer's Sarsaparilla, one in particular being that of a little daughter of a Church of England minister. The child was literally covered from head to foot with a red and exceedingly troublesome rash, from which she had suffered for two or three years, in spite of the best medical treatment available. Her father was in great distress about the case, and, at my recommendation, at last began to administer Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bottles of which effected a complete cure, much to her relief and her father's delight.

I am sure, were he here to-day, he would testify in the strongest terms as to the merits of Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer Lowell, Mass. Cures others, will cure you Mrs.
