Baptist Church.

| divine ownership" was the theme
OF Pastor Lyons sermon at the First
Baptist church Sunday morning.
The following is brief synopsis.
Text, / Cor. 1920: "Know We not that
your body Is "a temple of the Holy
Ghost who is in you, whom We have
from God; and ye are not your own;
for We were bought with price; glorify
God therefore in your body"
The teaching of the text concerns
the ownership and possession of the
individual by the Divine Spirit: it
comes to us as an answer to the prayer
Of Jesus in the lesson. II will pray
the Father, and he shall give you an
other Comforter, that he may be with
you forever, even the Spirit Of truth"
Jesus is the redeeming Comforter, the
| Holy Spirit is the abiding Comforter.
Jesus bought US, the Spirit works with
US.
AS to ownership: aye are not your
own" can be said Of each one; the un-
saved as we'll as the saved; and the
question is, who is the owner? Paul
speaks of his.frst owner thus: For ye
know that the law is spiritual, but
am carnal sold under SIM" Satan had
the ownership Of Paul as he has OF all
men for whom Christ gave his life as a
ransom price to purchase them for
himself. "Ye were bought with a
price" aye were redeemed. not with
corruptible things with silver or gold,
but with the precious blood Of Christ. +"
A price all sufficient, price which
represents the love, mercy, goodness
and power OF God. This ownership
does not mean slavery, but freedom.

SEVEN CREMA7ED
Awful Fire in a Lumber Camp

10 SLEEPING MEN ENDANGERED
Escape and Dreadful Panic Ensued
Much Suffering From Cold After
Their Escape.

Hambleton, w. Va, Jan. 22-About
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Camp
Five Of the Otter Creek Boom & Lum.
Der Co., several miles from here in the
forest, took fire and burned so rapidly
that seven of the 40 men asleep
in the building failed to get out and
were burned to death. Following is
the list Of dead:
John Morrisey, John Riley, George
II. Vanhorn, Arthur Hedricks, Thomas
Hickey, Mike Crannon, Forest Manard.
Bud WEIGH was so badly burned that
he is in critical condition.
1t was not more than five minutes
from the time when the alarm was
given until there was no chance Of es-
cape. The camp was % by so feet
and the upper part all in one room,
and in this the 40 men were sleeping
Two very small windows and the mar.
row stairs afforded the only ways of
escape, and those who went to the
windows, dozen or more, had to
jump IL or Is feet, the others rushing
down the steps like sheep, pushing
and tumbling and falling over each
other After they were out some OF
the men inside could be seen in the
flames, but not cry came from the
building. The dead were almost en-
tirely cremated: There were scarcely
40 pounds Of flesh and bones Of all
seven brought here last night in lit
tie box.
The men who escaped lost their
clothing and were compelled TO travel
through eight inches of snow, almost
naked, to another camp a mile away.

FIERCE NAVAL BATTLE.
Gen. Alban, Governor of Panama,
Among the Dead.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Meagre re-

stating that fierce naval battle be-
tween the Colombian and revolution
airy ships took place yesterday morn
ing in Panama harbor.
The government boats engaged in
the conflict were the Chilean line
steamer Lantaro, the Pacific Steam
ship Navigation company's steamer
Chicuito, and the Panama Canal COM
pany's steamer Boyaca. Those on the
revolutionary side were the steamers
Padilla, Darian and Gaitan.
According to last reports, the Lam
taro was sunk, her crew having re-
belled. The last dispatches are as fol-
lows:
Panama, Jan. 21.-Gen. Carlos AL
ban, the military commander Of this
district and the governor of Panama,
was killed during the fighting. His
death is deeply deplored, for Gen. AL
ban was loved by his soldiers and en-
joyed the esteem Of the community.
1t is asserted that the death of the
Colombian leader may have the effect
of bringing to the government side
large numbers of men anxious to
avenge his loss.
Some of the men killed on board the
government ship Lautaro have been
brought ashore, where they are being
buried. IT is reported here that her
crew rebelled.
The revolutionary gunboat Padilla
surprised the Lautaro at the opening
OF the fight and began shooting at
close range Many men on hoard the
Lautaro were killed.
A gasoline launch just left here to
obtain details of the fighting.

CHAPTER v

The laws were tremendously stringent
in those days when it was considered
much easier to bring an offenders bad
career to an end than to keep him at the
nations expense; and when the stealing
OF a sheep was considered crime to be
punished with death an attack upon the
sacred person of one of the kings officers
by couple Of notorious law-breakers
was not likely to be looked upon lenient-
ly by judge well known for stern sen
fences.
But jury of Devon men was sitting
upon the 0ffense of Abel Dell and Bart
W$igley, and feeling disposed To deal
easily with u couple Of young fellows

that her life at home had become iRsup-
portable.
She was not leag in fading that, new

Her contemptuous rejection Of Captain

one evening at the end Of a couple Of
months, Mary Dell sat en- one Of the
rocks outside the cottage door, gazing
out to sea, and watching the ships sail
westward, as she wondered whether
those on board would ever see the broth

her in this world.
That particular night the thought which
had been Matching in her brain ever
since Abel had been sent away few forth
fully hcdged and ready, and she rose
from where she had been sitting in the
evening sunshine, and walked into the
cottage.
She went into her brother Abel's bed

and then, with a quick, resolute step
che re-enrsred the cottage kitchen, thrust
the few embers together that burned up
on the hearth, took a pair Of scissors
