In company with posse OF five or
six, Norris went to the Maj. Sims
homestead in Independence county,

and the Sims boys were stopping,
halloed and told them that he had a
writ for their arrest and for them to
make a light. He was answered by
volIey from shot guns, the consta>

from his neck TO his ankle on his
right side and back. This Stamped>

Sheriff Hail and carried before
Squire Vance and placed under a
bond of $500 each for their appear

charges the boys with kidnapping
and an assault with intent to kill.
The Simses say they thought the
posse was Ford'S friends who had

their guns to protect themselves.

How often does the Christian feel
the lnadequacy of his prayer to his
needs! God somehow seems such a
different being from himself-so far
off, so infinitely beyond the human;
and yet, Of truth, 1t is only with
God that man can have any such
thing as perfect communication,
Language between man and man is
multi(orm-eyer growing, but never
complete, No man perfectly unGer>
stands or is perfectly understood by
another, Human sympathy is too
restricted. No human being can
wholly sympathiae with any other
human beng; yet sympathy Is the
real medium of communication be-
tween personalities, as air is the me,
dlum of sound and the other of light.
Divine sympathy is, however, who's
ly unrestricted. There is no form OF
human need that &c! cannot feel
and comprehend. Language be-
tween man and man IS insufficient to
reveal man perfectly to man, while
language between man and God is
allNsnllclent to reveal man perfectly
to God, Between man and man
words are often dumb while silence
is vocal; and there is an involuntary
that speaks more to sympathizing
men than voluntary gesture or cast
OF countcnanco or word Of mouth.
