Ascribes His Escape to Prayer.

G. H. Amberman is suffering from
badly strained neck as the result of
hanging in the belfry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Hampstead, Long
Island. Mr.. Amberman, who is sex
ton, went to the belfry to make some
repairs, and when he started to de-
scend he slipped and would have fallen
to the lower floor had not the trap
door fallen with him and caught him
by the neck and wedged him against
the hatchway. Amberman's hands
were below the trapdoor, his feet
were dangling in the air and his
breath was cut off. He prayed to
heaven for help, and as he was about
to give up in despair one of his feet
found a resting place and hope
revived. He set his foot firmly, am
managed to summon strength enough
to force his head up little, and open
the trapdoor again. He believed that
his prayer was answered, and he
bowed his head and gave thanks to
God for sparing his life.
