We are now living in the Gospel age. by the and everything inaugurated apostles in their age holds good In the We are not a sect nor a cult. present We simply believe in the nhole Gospel. and In this thing along with all the rest of it. Mr Farr furnishes this description of how the gift came: ' Ijist August a body of Christian people was holding a camp meeting In this city, and duiing the meetings two Chtistian women came to ua from Um They bald they were ngeles to preach t be GS going to pel in Arabic, as God had given them that gift and also the gift of other languages Many of our members began to seek it for themselves. After the public meetings closed we all went Into a separate room and waited foi the Lord to do to us as He did to the apostles at Pentecost, when He gave them the gift of languages The first manifestation of the pres ence of the Holy Ghost was when people began to tremble and fall down adR then there came a rushing of great winds This is just the same thing that happened according to the Very Bible on the day of Pentecost. soon several of our members began to speak in diffeteut languages and others intei preted what they said. No less than 40 people, tnen, women and children, lihve teceived this wonderful gift.

Occasionally one of the members will speak In, a language unknown to any one preseht. Aa a result of this wonderful poVer they expect to send abroad missionaries io China and J- India. .

This city has been the home of strange religions and some bizarre manifestations of religious belief.

But the strangest claim yet made by any body of believers Is that of the Christian. Assembly $ hurely. member,. ybo, say they have been granted the Apostolic gift of man tongues, and that they can speak all kinds of languages, which they have never before heard. They assert that a great majority of the 600 languages In existence today have been used by their members in their little church on Welton street under the leadership of Divine Inspiration. -- -- Learned Scholar Dead. The man who in our times bas had the widest acquaintance with the literature of the time of Shakespeare died a few days ago in London. He was Mr. W. F. Craig.

This was a crude construction, and sufficed for the small eastern farmer, but as the spreader came into use more It was found advisable to put a set of trucks under the front end of the machine and to make a complete wagon out of ttwnd to make a movable bottom, and from tbe way this style of machine was made I m under the Impression that it was not Intended that the front wheels should bear much of the load as they were set too far forward,' throwing practically all of the load on the rear wheels. This construction was not followed out lit farm wagons, nor was this construction found satisfactory in manure spreaders The machines were first made very machines weighing light, the about 1,500 pounds, and they were satisfactory In handling light ban-yard- westers manure, but when-thfarmer took up the maure spreader proposition he found that these light machines were wanting, they were not of sufficient strength, and the result Is that the weight of the machines haa been Increased. At first thought this might Indicate that they would pull harder, but every fanner knows that a heavy load will pull easier In a heavy wagon than It will on a light wagon, and the same holds good of the manure spreader. There Is probably no machine made that is put under a greater strain Ihaa spreader, as It has the hard lumps of maure to break to pieces before spreading them. Tbe light machines Would soon give way, would get out of shape and cause friction and binding. The result Is (hat the machines gt the present time are made heavier and stronger than they Were. The first thing to take Into consideration in buying any machine, says Otto E Henry, in the Indiana Farmer, Is the strength of construction and this bolds good In the manure spreader, more than any other farm Imp . gfrent. There were many things that tbe manufacturers in the early days bad to contehd wlth which they could not foresee. The wheels must be heavy enougty to earry the load, on a wagon. The rear wheels of the manure spreader must be heavy enough to carry the load and drtte the machla-- . ery, that la, the apron and cylinder. of the It is estimated that strength ?f the wheels Is used for tbe s tor traction and the other The carrying the load. manufacturers of manure spreaders are now using much heavier wheels than they were, and heavier parts all tbe way through,- - - The (rm4 sihesrs set back under tbe load so that the load is practically equally balanced, thus bringing the horses close to the load. The front and rear wheels track so that when spreading over plowed ground or over meadows you make two tracks Instead of four aa the original style of machines did. There Is no question but that it la better to put a few more dollars Into manure spreader a or snr other farm Implement than to buy the cheapest thing that can be had. Herrick-Kin- g Road Drag.
