muzzle, when the weapon exploded. The
load OF shot passed entirely through the
palm of his hand, and would certainly
have torn of his head had it not been for
the fact that he was in a STOPPING position;
as IT was, the charge of powder and shot
passed close enough to his scalp to burn
the skin. With blood streaming from his
hand Barron hurried 10 the home of Gard
ner, where his wife promptly tied a cord
tightly around his wrist, in order to check

Epworth League Convention.

The Epworth Leagues of the Meyers
dale district held a convention at Somer-
field, Pa, on oct. Ii.
The Meyersdale district is one of the
live sub-di-tricis of the McKesSport Dis
trici League and the object of holding
these sub-district conventions is To bring
the chapters of the district into closer
sympathy and 10 infuse greater energy
and enthusiasm into the movement. The
Success of this first tsub-conventiOn proves
the wisdom OF it, promoters.
The convention was called 10 order by
Prof J. W. Van DE Venter, of Braddock
President ofthe Mckeesport District Lea
que, who responded TO the address of well
come. 10y Rev. L. c. Brooks. Among the
different subjects discussed were: The
best way to secure spiritual interest in
the Jr. League" by Rev. J. Is. Finn, of
Confluence; How to conduct the League
prayer meeting" 10y George Hooking, of
Meyersdale; "How to get testimony and
prayer from new members" by Rev. II.
G. Brooks; THE importance of the Mer-
cey and Help Department" by W. G..
Weaver. of Meyersdale. Owing to the
absence of number ofdelegates to whom
papers had been assigned, it was decided
to omit the session for the next day. The
subject of making permanent organiza-
ton ofthe Meyersiale sub-district WAS
opened and discussed and it was unani-
mousIy decided that il would be for the
best interests of the Leagues of the coun-
ty To do 81, and that these conventions
should be held annually. Ii was also de-
cided that the district should have Vice
President 10 look after its interests, and,
with "A committee, to arrange program
&C.. for its annual conventions, TO which
office j.. w Endsley. of the Somerfield
League was elected. Berlin WAS selected
a. the place for holding the next convcn-
ton, the date of which to be decided later.
The evening session was devoted to a
chalk talk on ''Our Boys Brigade" by
Prof. Van De Menter, whose artistic skill
with the crayon, used To illustrate his
lecture, and whose earnest appeal TO the
boys for a correct life, will leave lasting
impression ON the large audience present.
The only regret il, that all Leagues OF
the county were not represented, a. the
Someriield League had made ample prep
aration to entertain all who would come.
