his plans. declared they should never see
him alive again. hut he could not he dis
suaded. He carried little tent under
which he slept and after weary DAYS Of
travel he approached tho principal village
of the tribe. Here he tarricd for n while
that he might plead with God for HIS
blessing before making the attempt TO ben
eft those savage Indians.
He supposed that no eve but Gods rest

had watched him as he pitched his tent.
then Fastening to the village had told th"
chief of the approaching white man \
council was held and II was decided that
he should he killed and scalpcd and never
enter the village
A party Of Indians hid in q sheltered
place and waited for the missionary to
come out. but Brainerd continued long in
prayer Becoming inpatient thcv drew
nearer. and cautiously pccring through
the opening they saw him On his knees.
They thought he was talking To some one.
Just then a great rattlesnake SLOWLY
pushed his ugly head under the tent and
crawling over Brainord's feet and LEGS
reared itself parallel 10 the kneeirg mans
back as If TO strike his fanCs in his neck
Suddenly it drew back as Il God forbade
the murderous attempt. and ClidCd ont ~

seemed as if the whole tribe came out 20

greatest resuect regarding him as under
the protection of the Great Shirt and
concluded that instead Of being hostile to

Moses was TO build the tabernacle after

God was the architect. Moses only the
builder. That method saved much discus.

the tabernacle. There are some things
the world cannot change; Gods plan for
a human life is never out of date: the
mountain architecture is perfect 1t is
neither Grecian nor Roman it does not
follow any human school; it is after the
heavenly design. See that you make your
architecture after the holy pattern, per

CRUSHED BETWEEN CARS.
Lee Fisher Seriously Injured-Hii
Condition Critical

Lee Fisher Seriously Injured-His
Condition Critical.
Lee Fisher, eighteen years old, was
seriously and perhaps fatally injured by
being caught between two cars at the Bal
timore and Ohio depot about o'clock this
morning. His home is at No. 312 Penn
street, Baltimore, and he is in the employ
of the Union News Company. For several
years he has been on Baltimore and Ohio
trains as a newsboy. This morning while
passing from car to another he slipped
and fell. He was caught between the cars
and was badly mashed, sustaining some in
ternal injuries.
Men employed about the depot went to
his assistance, and moved him from the
track. A physician was called, but because
of the young mans serious condition he
was removed to the hospital. Upon his ar
rival at the institution the surgeons found
he was in a semi-conscious condition. Later
in the day the doctors reported that the
patient was resting well, although his con-
dition was critical.
Relatives of the injured boy were notified
of the accident, and some of them came
over to see him.
