NOV. 16. 1869. Congress will get there next month. The elixir ei’Aze appears to be about dead. Foraker should have declined the nomination. He should have saved himself from his friends, fsouie of the Republican papers are consoling themselves bv saying that this is an “off year. ” Look out that ’92 isn’t an “off rear,” also. Farmers complain about the low price of hogs this year <s compared to last. What can they expect with Democratic governors in Ohio and Iowa? Who cares if Billy Mahone was defeated in Virginia, by r majority of from twenty to thirty thousand? He <oidy weighs Wo pounds, anyway. This is the Democratic time to howl. LuPorte Argus, What are you howling for? Don’t you know when you’ve got enough? There will be a “Corn” Social at the hall oa Thanksgiving evening. PlO- - next week. —Stark County Republican. We have “Corn,” “Rye” and “Hop” .socials here almost every evening. We have said elsewhere in this issue that Ohio elected a Democratic governor only. But we guess they elected a Demo/iratic legislator also. Well, who’s growling ? “Fire-Alarm” Foraker, fluttered, fizzled and fell fatally Hat. — LaPurte UusAnd so should any man who asks for the third consecutive term in high official position. Knox had a five to eight thousand dollar fire, and is squealing. Even as mnall a fire as that is not desirable—but when the fiend downs you for nearly fifty thousand, then you’ll have cause for squealing. Walkerton knows. “Anent” has been resurrected by the newspaper reporters, and it has as.suiued a very malignant form. One - daily paper used it three times the other day.—Plymouth Democrat. The word has a silly sound, and ought to pass into inocuous desuetude. Tim Chicago Herald thinks that Mrs. Cleveland is woll posted in polities. It tells about her having made a visit somewhere lately and how the people whom she visited were astonished at her wonderful knowledge of American politics. An unpatriotic venireman who wished io escape serving his country as a juror wrote the judge as follows: “Judge your honor which I hope you will excmm me I am not foaling well I was Lorn 1807 yours truly.” He should have been excused. Billy Beane, of the Goshen Democrat, thinks the world “Pan-American” is almost equal to the lady book agent taking the same “root” she took last year. -—Valdaraiso Messenger. That's right; shoot all such pronunciation, Webster ought to have had his back broken for permitting it. No man should deprive his wife and family of a good local newspaper. They do not go out from home to learn the news as does the ‘husband and father, aud the paper serves to relieve the otherwise 1 nely hour# of his absence. It is the worst possible economy to deprive the family of a local paper.—Valparaiso Messenger. Therefore we add, let the rush for the Independent abate not one jot or tittle. Sr»Vßpap«*r Advertising Pays. (A BucuxfuJ Merchant in Men's Outfitter.] Nothing iu high that will produce a profit. If spending SIOO a year in advertising will cause an increased net profit of S2OO, it is a magnificent return. My experience is that the ratio fs much the larger. I have tested the matter in every way. 1 began by not advertising at all, and I confess that it was your example that led me to do so. Then I tried sign boards op the country roads. They brought in some outof Town folks who did not know me before, but did not influence the townspeople, I tried hand-bills, but the distribution was not good unless I sent my own clerks out with them, and that was too expensive. I found that though the handbills were cheap enough, the cost of the boys’ time and the bills together exceeded that of an equal space and distribution by the newspaper. Then J couldn’t be all the time getting up and distributing the bills, and SO what interest they did excite was spasmodic and temporary, while the newspaper was a persistent advocate, Not only that, but I became convinced that the newspaper announcement was jnore influential than the street-flyer. It lent somewhat of its own dignity find respectability to whatever was said jn its columns.

The Nature of Man, NUMBER TWELVE. The place we are considering is called in the O. T, the valley of Hinnom; in N. T., Gehenna. If is quite certain that criminals were executed here. Jer. 7 :30-33: “The children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord * * * they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire * * * therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet nor the valley of the sou of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter, for they shall bury in Tophet fill there be no place.” Seo Lev. 20:2-5 inclusive, and 14th verse. The death penalty of the crimes here spoken of was undoubtedly executed in the valley of Hinnom, (the “valley of Slaughter”). Now, as Gehenna was once a place where the death penalty was inflicted, it may be again and no one can say that this will not be the place where the second death will be inflicted. It probably will be, at the final execution of judgement. In his teaching, Christ uses the term Gehenna about a dozen times. The text most relied on by the orthodox to prove endless torment is Mark 9:44: “ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” This text, they assert, is a representation of the ungodly writhing in unutterable agony in the tires of hell, and cannot die and the “fire is not quenched,” so the torment is unending. Thank God that this explanation has no support in the scriptures of Truth. We reply—let the Bible explain this. Isaiah 66:24: “And they shall go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” This text cannot be misunderstood, —the “carcasses of the men” were given to the two devouring elements—the worm and the fire, and these two, are referred to by our Lord, as in Gehenna, a place that God himself has named the “valley of Slaughter.” It is evident that while primarily, Christ uses the word Gehenna as referring to punishments inflicted by the Jews, under their laws and usages, he intended to be understood as bringing to view the final disposal of the unrighteous after the judgement of the great day. Thus he exhorts to “fear him who is able to destroy both soul aud body (life and being) in Gehenna.” Thus we see that Gehenna is not a place of endless torment but of destruction. We propose in our next, to show the beautiful harmony of Bible teaching. C. M. Richmond, /I TYNER CITY.
