Christian until the summons came
calling her to join in song and praise
in the Celestial Land around the Great
White Throne, where sorrow nor death
can enter and Joy and bliss are eternal.
She was great sufferer for years, but
the confiding faith she manifested in

Some men have lots of nerve and
are great buffers when they can
make it go. Bill Turner, the cele-
brated outlaw Of Fayette county,
Pa, and member of the Cooley
gang and leader of the Turner and
SmithleY gang of criminals, was in
Uniontown the other day and
walked boldly into the office Of the
standard aud introduced himself
and demanded to know why they
had been slandering him so much
by publishing accounts of his ex-
PLOTS and the desperate deeds
charged mp to bin, all Of which he
denied, and threatened to sue the
paper if they didn't apologize and
give him a rest. His bluff failed
and the editor told him to 90 hunt
his lawyer and bring suit at once,
and Furthermore, that If he fooled
around there very much he would
be arrested and sent to join some Of
his old friends behind prison bars.
Bill went away threatening VEN
geance, but took great care not to
invoke any law ia the premises, for,
like the Irishman, justice was lust
what he didn't want.

five thousand acres leased. They
expect to put down some test wells
now soon and have great hopes of
striking oil. 1t will be big thing
for Grant district, and the whole
county in fact, if they do, and the
enterprise Of these gentlemen should
be heartily encouraged by our peo-

down there, it will bring a railroad

The Founder OF Christian Endeayor.

DR.. Francis E. Clark is of New Eng
land parentage, although born in Ayl-
mer, Quebec. The date Of his birth was
September II, 1851. When years old
he was left an orphan and was adopted
by an uncle, the Rev. E. w. Clark of
Auourndale, Mass. Here and in Clare
mont, n. H., DR.. Clark spent his boy
hood. He went to Dartmouth, gradu-
ating in 1873. Three years were spent
in AndOver Seminary, and the young
clergyman shortly afterwaid took charge
of his first church at Portland, Me-,
the famous Williston church, in which
Christian Endeavor was born.
DR.. Clark had been pastor here fol
four years before he conceived the idea
of the Christian Endeavor society. The
young people had been largely cared
for by mission band, 1.-THE Mizpah
Circle" conducted by Mrs. Clark, who
has ever been helpmeet for DR.. CLARK
in all his Christian Endeavor labors
The plan was formally presented to the
young people at the home of DIR. Clark
on February 2, 1881. 1t was substan-
TALLY as it is known to-day the world
around. The constitution and pledge
were signed by number of the young
people and the first meeting was held a
few days after, with leader who was
but seven years old.
