no debate. and with these once adopt

by exclamation and vas accomplished
with expedition and tact. There were
half score Of speecses in Mr. ,Bryan's
behalf. All these were brief and
pointed, while full of praise to the
candidate. The speakers were led OF
Dy Senator Allen of Mr.. a;r
s%t Bryan's Own state
and ne was followed in quick success
sion by ex-Congressman Jerry simp-
son Of Kansas, "Cyclone'' Davis Of
Texas. Senator Marion Butler of
North Carolina and one or two others.
Each Mention of Mr.. Bryan aroused
enthusiasm, and when there was 4
call to rise in support OF "a PROPOSE

The enlargement OF church at
Quincy, Mich, and its recent rededi-
cation testify anew to the power one
person may exert in a community.
Thirty years ago Quincy was but a
hamlet. and the Presbyterian church
being reduced to a single member, the
presbytery dissolved the church and
sent a committee to get the minutes.
Mrs. Patter refused either to give up
the minutes or to be dissolved"
What the presbytery should d." was
her p1ucky answer, lis to send us a
minister" Her advice was taken. and
today the church is happy, hopeful and
dourishing. It. lived simply because
one earnest Christian woman would
not let it die. - -

Strike-the-Kettle is not a romantic
name, but the old Indian who bore that
appellation was leader and a Chris
tan king among his people. For
many years Strike-the-Kettle was a
scout, protecting the United States
mail from hostile indians. While on
this duty he was wounded in a fight
with his own people. A few years ago,
when the Dakota prairies were on fire,
the Indians of the Standing Rock
Agency fought the flames for days.
When. at last It was feared the whole
village would be swept away, a de-
voted missionary stood watching, with
wagon packed, ready to fee at the last
moment. In the darkness she saw
