underneath the surface in many
places. DR.. Capehart is informed

horse falling into the fry pit were
burned to death. The smoke ex-
tends many miles out to sea and by

Preacher Had Grit.

A Louisville, KY, paper relates
the following:
While his church was burning
over his head, Rev. Gay Bryant,
leader of holiness congregation at
Shoal Creek, Tenn, preached a scath-
ing sermon to mob of 100 people
who had set fire to the church and
were threatening him with violence.
Bryant had been warned away from
the neighborhood by the people
who do not approve OF the Holiness
faith, but he paid no attention to
the threats. While he was preach
ing to his people last night the mob
formed and after saturating the foun-
dation Of the frame church with Oil,
set fire to it. BRYANT ran to the door
and declared to the mob that the
devil was leading them in their at
tack on Gods people. He was told
again to leave the place or he would
be treated to coat of tar and feath-
ers.
