Ringworm Humor and Salt-Rheum.

RAYNHAM, MASS., Aug. 12,1878.

C. I. HOOD& Co.: Gentlemen— I have had ringworm humor and salt-iweum so badly that my body was covered with raw sores so, also, my head and face. I have had any number oi doctors in the last seven years, and none of them could cure me One day my mother was in the city of Taunton, ana found one of your cook books, ana in reading it I found many people testifying to cures from the use of your Sarsapnrilla and Olive Ointment. I lelt forced to try it, although I had seen many things advertised that never did me any good. I have now taken two small bottles and one large one of Sarsaparilla, and used three boxes of Ointment I now call myself cured. Nothing can be seen of the humor but the dun outlines of the sores. I shall take two more bottles, and then the cure will be complete.

MESSRS.C.I.HOOD& Co.: Gents-Please send me by express two bottles HOOD S SARSAPARILLA and a few Cook Books for distribution.

ASBURY CHURCH.

History of one of the Oldest Religious Organizations in Indiana-

notes of Interest to Old-Timers-

43-

The early history of Asbury church ia without record and is mostly beyond the memory of those now living. Certain it is, that the Asbury Methodist church is the oldest organization of christians ia this part of the country. Besides churches in Yincennes, this TerreHaute church is almost the oldest in the state.

The first sermon ever preached in the county, was by Rev. Johnathan Stamper, chaplain of a regiment of Kentucky volunteers, at Ft. Harrison. The next preacher was Jacob Turman, and following him, came Wm. Medford, and later James McCord. These were Methodists. The first Presbyterian was Samuel Taylor, next David Monford, after which came Father Wallace. All preached in the old court house, until the first Asbury chapel was built, on

THE VERY 8POT

where the present Asbury church stands. This beautiful lot on the north west corner of Fourth and Poplar streets, was set apart "for church purposes/ when the town of Terre Haute was first laid out, by the original projectors. The Methodist congregation being the only church organization in the community, took posession of the lot, and built there on a small brick church, costing $800, probably the first church building erected in north western Indiana, ,r

DEDICATION. 'J'H

The house was dedicated in 1835. Dr. M. A. Jewett preached from the text, John, xv chap. 5 verse, and Dr. Aaron Wood, who is still living, and recently preached here, also delivered a sermon from second Chronicles vi chapter, and 18 verse. Both sermons were reported by Mr. B. T. Kavanaugh, and printed in the Christian Advocate, in the old files of which paper they may still be read.

FURTHERJEARLY HISTORY.

But there is a little more of the early history of the church that may be here put on record. As early as 1813 there was a religious society which held meetings on the Sabbath Up to 1820, several religious societies were organized in the Wabash Talley. The harmony of Rapp—the deism of Kidwell—the commune of the Shakers— the organization of the New Lights— and the city corporation of the Methodist* of Mt. Carmel, were all planted in their several localities during that eventiul decade, up to whicn time the Methodists were comparatively the weakest denomination, especially in the towns. The Kentucky Baptists, toe Cumberland Presbyterians ana

were largely in advance of the

ethodists. There were three societies of Methodists—at Dixon's, Jackson's and Barnes', whose influence and liberality erected the first churjh, in 1835. The next cburch built was the Congregational cburch then one of the best houses of worship in the state, which was soon followed, in 1841. tv the preseut Asbnrv chapel.

In 1826,

REV. AARON WOOD

vva« preacher witi it. Hargrave,"Who also became a noiuri divine, on' the Hosey Creek circuit, wuich included Terre Haute. The services at Terre Haute were held in the court house. It might be well to enlarge a little just here on the history of Aaron Wood, the oldest living representative of the Methodism of the Wabash valley. Preacher here in 1826, he returned in 1885 to assist Dr. Jewett in dedicatiug the first church. During this, and the following year, he was presiding elder of the Terre Haute district. In 1852—3 he was again paetor of Asbury church, and from 1854 t1858 again presiding elder Just before his appointment in 1852, he beca ne a candidate for State Superintendent of public instruction, but was defeated by Prof. Larabee. Since 1858, he has not

Sut

reached here in an official capacity, has frequently re-visited the scene of his early labors. In 1880 be delivered a lecture in Asbury churtb, on early Methodism in the Wabash valley, the occasion being the re-opening ot the cburch building. His best efforts have been put forth for the benefit of Asbury church, many times durioir his long life.

-HISTORY.

The history of any Methodist ohurob. is practically a mere chronological record of its ministers, and for convenience, as well as argument, the history of Acbury chapel since 1832 may be given as follows.

Terre Haute is first mentioned in the minutes in 1831,- it was then in the Illinois Conference, with Jas. Armstrong, P. E anl Elw.n Hay/pastor in cli inje. It as then Terre Haute circuit, and was not set O!FHS» station m.tM 1836.

SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS

rent due on preacher houses. I rented my own house which stood noith of the "Prarie House." Chauncv Rose gave me pasture free and we fed and milked our cow on the spot where Centenary cburch now stands.

During the vear, with such men as R. W. Thompson, Jacob D. Early, Jabez Caato T. C. Buntin. the Jacksons, Aliens, Freemans. Copelands, Hagars, Teels, Dowlinss. Sibleys, Sasseons, Evans and many other good and true men and women—every dollar of indebtedness was paid, with pastor's salary and bouse rent also, and the Presidin Elder's salary likewise.

He Becomes ft 8ape in a Theatre— His Experiences

From Peck's Sun.

.l,You look sleepy," said the groceiy man to the bad bey, as he came in tbe store yawning, ana etretehed himself out on tbe counter with his head on a pile of brown wrapping paper, in reach of a box otjraisins, "what's the matter Been sitting up with your girl all ni^ht?" "Naw! 1 wisb I. had. Wakefulness with my girl is sweeter and more reslful than steep. No, this is tke result of being a dutiiul son, and I am tired. You see ma an pa have separated, rhat is not lor keeps, but pa bas got frightened ab mt burglars, and he goes up into the at tic to eleep. He says it ie to get fresh air, but he knows better. Ma has got so accostumed to pa's snoring that she can' to sleep without it, and tLe first night pa left she didn't sleep a wink, and yesterday I was playing on an old accordeon that I traded a dog collar for alter our dog was poisoned, and when I touched the low notes I noticed ma dozed off to sleep, it sounded so much like pa's snore, and last ninht ma made me set up and play for her to sleep. She rested splendid, but I am all broke, up and 1 sold the accordeon this morning to the watchman who watches our block.

It is queer what a different effect muBic ,will have on different peeple While ma was sleeping the sleep ot in noeence under the iuflaenceof my counterfeit of pa's snore, the night watchman was broke .of his rest by it, and he bought it of me to give it to the son of an enemy of his. Well, I have quit jerking soda." "No, you don't tell me," said the grocery man, as be moved tbe box of raisins out of reach. "YJU never will amount to anything unless yon stick to one trade

profession. A rolling ben

nev. c«u hes the early angleworm.'' "O, but I am all right now. Iu the soda business, there is no chance tor genius to rise, unless the soda fountain explodes. It is all wind, and one gets tired of coustant flzz. He leels ihathe is fraud, and when be ~uts a little yrup in a tumbler, aud tires a little -wceiened wind and water iu it, un il the .*p suds tills the tumbler, and charges ten cents for that which only costs a nt, a seu.-ilive soda jerker, wtio has re« foruied, feels that it is worse than three card montc. I couldn't stand the wear on my conscience, so I have got a permanent job as a super, and shall open tbe 1st oi September." 8 .y, what's, a super? It isn't one ot these lunch places, that the mayor closes at midnight, is it and the grocery man looked sorry. "O, thunder, you want salt on you. A super is an adjunct to 'he stage. A super is a fellow that assists the stars and tbiogs, carrying chairs and takine up carpets, and sweeping the sand off the stage after ad ancer has danced a jig, and he briugs beer for the actors, an., helps lace up corsets, and anything that be can do to add to the effect of the play. Privately, now, I h-re been acting as a snpe for along time, on the sly, and my folks didn't know anything about it, but since I reformed and decided to be good, 1 felt it my duty to tell ma and pa about it. The news broke mft all up, at lirst, but pa said some of tbe best actors in this country were supes once, and some ot them were now, aud he thought suping would be the making of me Ma thought going on the stage would be my ruination. She laid the theater was the hotbed of sin, and brought more rnin than tbe church could head off. But when I told ber that they always gave a supe two or three cxtta tickets tor bis iamily, she said the theater had some redeeming featens, and when

I said my entrance upon tbe stage would give me a splendid opportunity to get tbe recipe lor face powder froib the actiesses, tor ma, and I could find out how the acres£e? managed to get uumber fout feet iato numtier one shois. ma feai she wished I would commence suping-right off. Ma says there ate nouie thing/about the ihea'er that are not soalfired bad, and she want? me to get sents for the first anic opera that come* along. Pa wants it understood with the manager that a supe's father has aright to no bebiud the ^ceuts see that no harm befalls htm, but I know what pa wants. may s.-em pious, and all that, but he liktsto lock at ballet girls better thau am rae^k and lowly follower I ever see, and some day yu will hear music in the ai fa thinks theaters are very bad, when he has topay a dollar for a re served teat, but wnen be can get in tor no hDgas relative of one ot the 'perks n.' ibe tbeat.r has many redeeming qu*luu-8. Pa and ma think I am going iuto the business fresh and green, but ov all anout it. When I played witu McCullou^h nere once—" "Ob, what you giving us," said the grocery man in disgust, "when you plaed wi.h nlcCuHousjh! What did you do?" "What did I do? Why, you old seer) cucumber, the whole uliy centered arouLd me. Do you remember the scene in the Roman forum, where M.cCullou.rti addresses t»e populace of Rome. I tva the populace, don't you remember email filler standing in front ot tbr Roman orator taking it in witn a nisrhi shirt on, with bare legs and arms? Th-ti was me, and eventhing depended

u:e- Suppose I had gone off tbe stag

would have been a dead give away on HcCul lough. As the populace ol Rome I consider myself a glittering success, and Mc took me by the hand when they carried Caesar's dead body out, and he said, 'us three did ourselves proud.' ucSh praise from McC.Is seldom accorded to a supe. But I don't consider the populace of the imperial city of Rome my master piece. Where I eqvel is in comeing out before the curtain between tbe acts, and hooking the carpet. Some supes go out and turn their backs to the audience, showing patches on their pants, and rip up the carpet with no style about them, and the dost flies, and the boys yell 'supe,' and the supe gets nervous and forcets his cue, and goes off tumbling over the carpet, and the orchestra leader is afraid the snpe will fall on him. But I go out with|a quiet dignity that is only gained by experience, and I take hold of the carpet the way

"No danger il you keep off the_ you'd a dide

Han-

let takes up the skull of Yoric* and the audience isparalized, I kneel a Own on the carpet,to unhook it, in a devotional sort of a way that makes the audience bow their heads as though the were in church, and belore they realize that I am only a supe I have the carpet unhooked and march out the way a 'Piscopal minister does when he goes ont between the acts at church to change his shirt. They never 'guy' me, cause I act well my part. But I kick on holding dogs tor actresses. Som.e supes think they are made if they can hold a dog, but I have an ambition that a pug dog will not fill. I held Mary Anderson's cud of gum once, while she went on the stage, and when she come off and took ber gum her fingers touched mine and I had to run my fingers in my hair to warm them, line a fellow does when he has been snow-balling. Gosh, but she would freeze ice cream without salt, shall be glr»d when the theatrical season opens, 'cause we actors get tired laying off." "Well, I'd like to go behind the scenes with you some night," said the grocery man, offering the bad boy an orange to get solid with him, in view of future complimentary tickets. No danger, is there?" MJWIIJ.!

But you'd a dide to see my Snnday School teacher one Saturday night last summer. He keeps books in a store, and ia pretty soon week days, but he can teu you more about Daniel in the lion's den on Sunday than anybody. He knew I was solid the theater, and wanted me to get him behind the scenes one night, and another snpe wanted to go to the sparring match, aud I thought it wouldn't be any barm to work my teacher in, so I got him a job that night to hold the for the Uncle Tom's Cabin show, was in one of the wings holding the chains, and the dogs were just anxious to go on, ar.d it wes all my teacher could do to hold them. I told him to wind tbe chains around his wrists and be did so, and just then Eliza began to skip across the ice, and we sicked the blood hounds on before my teacher could unwind the chains from his wiists, and the dogs pulled him right out on tne stage, OB his stomach, and drawed him across, and be jerked one dog and kicked him in the tomacb, and the dog turned on my teacher and took a mouthful of his coat tail and I guess the dog got some meat, anyway the thacher climbed up a step der fell down, and we grabbed the dogs and put some court plaster on tbe teacher's no-e, where tbe fire e&tinguisher peeled it, and be said he would go home, cause the theater was demorahz iug iu its tendencies. I spotee it was not right, oat when the teacher stood up to bear our Sunday school lesson the next day, cause he was tired where thedog him, I said 'siek-em in a whisper, when his back was turned, and he jumped clear over to the Bible class, and put hi£ hand around to his coatf tail as though be thought tbe Uncle Tom's Cabin party were giving a matinee in the cburoh. The Sunday school lesson was atyrat the dog's licking the sores of Lazarus, and the teacher said we must not confond the good does of Bible time with the savage beasts of the present day, tbat would sbake the daylights out ot Lazarus and make him climb the cedars of Lebanon quicker than you could sky Jack Robinson, and go off chewing tbe cud of bitter reflection on Lazarus' coat tail. I don't think a Sunday school teacher ought to bring up pes nil ramisences' before a class of children, do you Well, some time next fall yonpat on a clean shirt and a pair of sheet iron pants, with stove legs on the inside, and will take you behind the scenes to aee some good moral ehow. In the meantime, if you have occasion to talk with pa, tell him that Booth, and Barrett, aod Eeene com menced on tbe st ge as sopso, and Sal vfni roasted peanutwifc tbeloinby cf some theater. I want our folks to feel tbat am taking the right courre to become a star. 1 prythe an re eervoir. I go hens, but to return. AvaunU '.And the bid by walktd out on his toes a la Booth.
