Henry Stiles Bradley, doctor of di- vinity, pastor of St. John’s Southern |Methodist Church of St. Louis, who) ¢aseS jis about to accept a call to the pastor-| ate of the Piedmont Congregational Church of Worcester, Mass., makes, in relatian to this even now syrpris- ing, and once impossible, step, a statement which is of more than common and passing interest. “Happily,” declares Dr. Bradley, “we are getting away from the day when the denominations spent about as much time and energy in finding fault with each other as in trying to lift the fallen, restore the wayward and convert the sinful. We are com- ing to recognize the fact that we are all working to one great end, that of bringing the Kingdom of God to pass on the earth, and that our chief dif- ference is in method and form of government.” Happy, indeed, is this reformed jand enlightened condition. Calvinist and Catholic to-day work together ad ;majoram dei gratia. Both once were wont to light pyres for heretics. Even.as Dr. Bradley points out, it is | but a generation or two ago that such tolerance as is indicated by his pres- lent step would have stirred all the seventy jarring sects to their inner- most fiber. Note, now, not only pastoral but congregational tolerance, as express- ed in Dr. Bradley's own words: ‘‘The congregation to which I go will not require or expect me to modify my creed or my teaching. They believe that I am teaching the truth now, and have been teaching it for years, and they wish it taught from their pul- pit.” Infant damnation and predestined fires of hell for nonelected mortals have gone their way. The new toler- ance of Christianity even looks with- out stern disfavor upon the pious Brahmin and the devout Jew. All of His creatures who believe in God are conceded by the most liberal-minded churchmen to be not unworthy of sal- vation. Even to the dying atheist perchance the lamps holds out to burn. The time is fragrant with that love for man instilled by the Great Teacher. And in the trinity wherein abide also Faith and Hope, we recognize that the greatest is Charity, which vaunteth .not itself and is not puffed up.—St. Louis Times. $100 Reward $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re- uires a constitutional treatment. all’s Catarrh Cure is taken internal- ly, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, there- by destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitu- tion and assisting nature in doing its work.

Bates county real estate is proving to be very attractive proposition for investors from Iowa, Illinois and oth- er central states just now, and almost every day local agents have parties out looking over the country with a view to purchasing tracts advertised. The construction of the dig drainage ditch has reached people, in other states, who are making trips there to view the lands, and a great many of them are investing. Bates is oue of the most productive counties in the State, and probably has more tillable land than any other county. It is the corn country, and just now thousands upon thousands of acres of the great staple waving in the sunlight makes a pretty picture, and which leaves a mighty favorable impression on the visitors from other states.—Kansas City Star.
