Says the StatesviUe Landmark: 'The most noticeable change from the present order of worship is the recit ition ot the creed, responsive reading and Gloria Patri. All that portion in parenthesis may be omitted and it is probable that a great majority of the churches will omit it for the present at least. When instrumental music was nrst introduce! the churches in this sec tion of the State many of the older members of tbq, chnrces violently opposed (be innovation and some of them have never become recon ciled; and it is doubtful if the old-time bod ist bretbern will take kidly to some of the changes in order of worship. Changes will be made gradually." COLDS ARE DANGEROUS How often you hear it remarked: "It's only a cold," and a few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumonia.
