majority in the county. Denison is

RAN OFF AFTER A BUTTERFLY
Searching parties are out securing the
densely wooded mountain region about
the town of Harleigh, Pa, in quest of
Alice, the 4-year-old daughter of John
Czaja. The child wand cred away on
Friday afternoon, and has not been
seen since Harleigh is little mining
town situated in the valley below Ha-
zclton, and the Czajas live on its out
skirts.
On Friday afternoon Alice and her O.
ycar-old sister, Maga were playing to-
gethcr in the fields surrounding their
home. The smaller child's attention
was attracted by a butterfly, and she
started away in pursuit, following it,
her sister says, in the direction of the
forest. NIaga paid no more attention
to Alice, and when supper hour drew
near she concluded that the little one
had become tired and had gone home,
so she decided to follow her there.
Mrs. GAIA was greatly alarmed when
Maga returned alone. Together they
searched the house and outbuildines,
Dut, HnulnS no trace VI tHe ullSs!uS
| child, they went into the woods. The
now thoroughly frightened mothers
cries startled the neighbors, and soon
half hundred men, women and child
| ren were hurrying aimlessly over the
mountains calling out the lost child's
name.
Night was now coming on, and when
the mother realized that her little one
was wandering about in the dark forest
with its rushing streams and steep pre-
| cipices, liable to become the prey of
wild animals, she became crazed with
grief
A searching party of the men of the
village was finally organized, aud,
headed by Alices father, they started
out with lamps and lanterns. All night
long the mountain echoed with their
shouts but when morning dawned it
came without any trace Of the child
having been discovered. On Saturday
and throughout Saturday night the
search was continued, and Sunday the
miners being idle the ranks of the
searching party were doubled but the
evening closed without any trace of the
missing child.

Sam Jones Says Get Faith"

Sam. Jones and Thomas Dixon spoke
at Association Hall, New York, on
Sunday morning. Mr.. Dixon recited
his prelude and Mr.. Jones preached.
He said:
christianity can be demonstrated
Just like proposition in mathematics.
a man with sense can understand it,
and it takes man with good sense to
be a Christian. Others can be infidels.
1t takes faith. This is thing that
God cannot give you. You have got to
exercise this yourself God can give
you everything but faith. How can He
give you a thing that He has not got?
God knows everything and does not
have to exercise faith.
II never saw an honest iniidel that
would tell you he had tested Christian
ity. There is nothing about an intidel
but his mouth, and when meet one l
mash his mouth, and then I've got him
mashed. That is all there is about him.
Its fact that among all the deaf
| mutcs in the United States there is not
one infdel. They can't talk. There
is some sense in Bob Ingersoll being an
intidel. He gets $500 a night for it,
but these little fellows that run around
| and pay 81 for q seat to hear him
haven't got any sense.
II had been preaching one day, and
as went out Of the church man came
up to me and said that he was an inf
del and didn't believe in the Bible, but
that he wanted religion, l told him it
didn't make any difference about not
believing in the Bible. If he would do
what l said he would get religion. He
promised. told him to go 10 the mourn
ers' bench that night and pray for God
to be merciful to him, sinner. He
did that. Then | told him to 90 home
and hold family prayer that night. He
did that. Then the next day | told him
to come up and join the church, but he
said he did not believe in the Bible, and
| what would he say when he was asked
about it? told him to keep his mouth
shut; that would be all right. I had
| enioincd on him as one of the conditions
of his salvation that he keep his mouth
shut. knew if could get him to do
| this for forty eight hours 1 would nave
him fixed He joined the church and
pretty soon he shouted, "Glory to
God' for he found religion. If you
will do before you get religion what
you would do after it, you will find re-
igion. 1t takes faith. !"
