LAW AND GOSPEL, OCTOBER, 1886. 77 the Lord and have increased oppor-unities we shall like it here. Hutchinson is the capital of Reno county, situated on the N. E. side of the Arkansas river.

On the S. W. side of the river is the new town of South Hutchinson, which is largely laid out and rapidly developing. This is its first year of existence, yet, at its present rate of progress, we will soon have a city over there. Why Late.

Owing to the absences from home, elsewhere mentioned, and the hinder-ances occurring on account of our removal to this place and the waiting for a suitable house after arrival here, we are very late with this issue of Our paper. The next number, the Lord willing, we will have out about the middle of the month. Remember we have no help whatever in the publishing our paper. Editing, typesetting, printing and mailing are all the work of our own hands. We were very much gratified on onr arrival in this city to find a band of pilgrims, who delight in taking the narrow way "the way of Holiness." They have preaching every alternate Sabbath by Pastor Brown and we are booked to fill up intervening Sabbaths.

Sabbath, Oct. 17, we had the privilege of preaching twice. Bro. Brown was present and preached for us Oct. 24, and, as he will be here for several days, looking after the building of a church, will preach agai Oct.

3 1 Cottage pray er meetings are held twice each week, Tuesday and Saturday nights. At our meeting Tuesday night, Oct. 26, we had the pleasure of meeting Bro. J. J.

Wayt, pastor of the Free Methodist Church at Macksville, about 60 miles west. At that place and vicinity there is a large society, with an expected addition of four families, who will arrive from Illinois about the 29th of this month. The Free Methodists have in contemplation the building of a seminary at Macksville. We are in receipt of The Kingdom for October, edited by R. Kelso Carter.

It is "a monthly journal devoted to full salvation and the deep things of God." Published by The Kingdom Publishing Chester, Pa. Si per annum. The Kingdom is full of rich matter, "deep things," and every holiness person that can should subscribe for this journal. The Living Way still lives. A short time since its office was broken into, by the minions of secrecy, and 150 damage done in the destruction of type and machinery, but it still regularly makes its weekly appearance.

May the Lord continue to bless the Living Way and grant it long life to do Him service in its warfare against the lodges the enemy of all righteousness. Dear Bro. a user: We are here holding meeting. The Lord is saving and sanctifying souls and the devil is stirred from the very bottom. We got egged last week, but thank God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to God! J. H. E. A. Brewington.

Herrick, Hi. Oct. 22, 1886. Why a Pittsburg Man Went Out of the Liquor Business. "I hear that Smith has sold out his saloon," said one of a couple of middle-aged men, who sat sipping their beer and eating a bit of cheese in a Smithfield street saloon last Friday night.

"Yes," responded the other rather slowly. "What was the reason? I thought he was just coining money there." The other nibbled a cracker abstractedly for a moment and then said "It's rather afunny story. Smith, you know, lives on Mount Washington, right near me, where he has a nice home, an excellent wife and three as fine children as ever played out of doors. All boys, you know, the eldest now over nine, and all about the same size. Smith is a pretty respectable sort of a citizen, never drinks or gambles, and thinks the world of his family.

'Well, he went home one afternoon last week, and found his wife out shopping, or something of that sort. He went on through the house into the back yard, and there, under an apple tree, were the little fellows playing. They had a bench and some bottles and tumblers and were playing 'keep He noticed that they were drinking something out of a pail, and that they acted tipsy. The youngest, who was behind the bar, had a towel tied around his waist, and was setting the drinks-up pretty free. Smith walked over and looked into the pail.

It was beer, and two of the boys were so drunk that they staggered. A neighbor's boy, a couple of years older, lay asleep' behind the tree. "'My boys, you must not drink, he said, as he lifted the six: year old from behind the bench. 'We's playing s'loon. papa, an' was sellin' just like said the little fellow.

Smith poured out the beeiv carried the drunken boy home and then took his own boys in and put them to bed. When his wife came home she found him crying like child. He came back down town that night and sold out his business and says he will never sell or drink another drop of liquor. His wife told mine about it, and she broke down crying while she told it." This is a true story, but the name was not Smith. Pittsburg Dispatch, A Call to Africa.

Bro. and Sister Brewington of Litchfield, 111., feel fhe call upon them to go to Africa. To help them meet their call we open our columns to receive subscriptions, and would urge our readers to "help (them) a little." They propose to go out on the faith-line, only asking for means to pay their transit. They offered themselves to go with Robert L. Harris, but he objected to them, at least in part, on account of their color.

Having met this brother and sister at the Toledo camp-meeting and seen their usefulness in the work of the Lord, we can heartily recommend them as worthy of your confidence and help in this matter. Send in your contribution for their "transit fund." Read sister Mary A. Sharp's communication, page 75, and it may cause you "to go or send." With her communication Sister Sharp sends us "a fern from Africa," for which she will accept our thanks. We are particularly pleased to hear from her of Africa's need and opportunities and in the useful information given. It will give us pleasure to hear from her again.

All information concerning Africa and her redemption is eagerly read in this day of Missionary enterprise..
