I«n About the IMati. Ot well, Feb. 25,189$. To fee Editor of The Democrat: In the last issue of Th* Democrat I notice *n article headed “The Saint*," which ia intended I suppose, for a reply to an article I recently j wrote for the News. I think justice demands that I should hare a chance to reply to the article through the columns ofyour paper. In the beginning of the article the writer states that he or she has read the article in the Hews about the Saints and feels “called” upon to present a few thoughts on The other side. It might be a mystery to some who “called” the writer to present his or her thoughts upon the other side. The writer of the article says “they (the Saints) possess every element of a sect.” Upon the authority ot the word of God, by which ererything must be judged, I denounce the statement as untrue, and challenge the writer of the article or any other person under the sun'to take God’s word and prove it. Give me chapter and verse for It, please, and then I will admit it. Of course I wont take opinions of men, neither will any other honest seeker after truth. So it is the duly of tho writer to pilher take the word of God and prove it, or own that he or she is mistaken, The writer of the article says in regard, to “explaining away” scripture “But I notice they (the Saints) 'explain away’ the passage Met our women keep silence ip the churches.’*’ They do not try to explain it away, but take the passage in connection with other scriptures to show the ’people what it really meaus. This is not “explaining away” scripture, and any unprejudiced persou will not call it such, , The writer tells how the Saints obtain money. A gentleman gave the writer the particulars, so he or she says. Not knowing anything about the matter, the writer of this article cannot spy whether it is.true or nqt, but is inclined to helieve that it is one of the many falsehoods that has been circulated concerning them. Mr. Editor, make up your mind what kind of a story you want to heavabout the Saints, no matter how ungodly it is, and we would not be surprised if some one will not tell you just what you want. The word of God leaches us

that the devil is the father of lies,and no doubt he is at work all the time inventing some new ones to be used by his faithful children. The writer of the article aho said that a drummer that passed through Ireland was the author of a statement that the Saints had caused about 25 divorce cases in Missouri. Then*the writer adds, that tnis is to some extent substantiated by the article in the Gospel Trumpet of February 7. 1895, an extract from which says: “Some go so far as to separate from a wife or husband uusaved after they themselves are saved.” But mark you, friends of justice, the writer of the article did not add that the Gospel Trumpet condemned such actions and terms such persqns as being fanatics that do so. Oh, how still he or she was about that. And furthermore, I have read a great deal tjf the literature published by the Saints and have heard them preach, and can testify, as many others can, that they dQ not advocate any 6uch doctrine. In conclusion, I want to say to the readers of this article: procure some of the* literature published by the Saints; go and hear some of their preachers, and then determine whether I have told you the truth or not. If after haying done this, you find that I have said things that arc not true, write Ine and i will retract it. But romemjgter that you can’t get a fair knowledge of what they preach aod advocate by listening to the tales of prejudiced sect members. Hoping that I have offended uone in writing this article I remain, Yours for justice to all, Fbakk Arnold.

Don’t Stop Tobacco. The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system is seriously afeeted, impairing health, comfort and happiness.
