ORGANIZED IN 1899
The Gideons were organized at James
WIG, w fSss oh OdSuAudys July Il, 1919, III TIE
Y. NJ. c. A. building. The organizers were
w. ]. knights, S. L. Hill and John II.
Nicholson. The organization was the re-
suit of chance meeting of Hill and Mich
olson some time before. They met in a
crowded hotel and had to occupy the same
room Hill retired first and Nicholson TAX
ing out his Bible for evening worship, was
requested to read aloud. After prayer both
slept Next time they met was at Beaver
Dam and cordial greeting ensued. These
men seemed TO like each other instinctively
from the start. While talking at Beaver
Dam Mr.. Hill said. Nick. would il not be
a good thing il the Christian travelling men
could be banded together in an organiza-
ton of some kind?
Yes, Sam, IL would be a splendid idea
and suppose we get at it and organize al
once; lets not talk about il, but get right
at II and start the ball rolling and follow
IL up." A date was set for the first meet.
ing al GAINESVILLE and letters were sent out
to several well-known Christian travelling
men, who heartily Endorsed the movement
At the appointed time but three OF the
men notified came and they organized the
Gideons. The question of a name arose
and many suggestions were offered, but
none seemed 10 suit. Then one suggested
that they bow in silent prayer This was
done, and in a few minutes Mr. knights
with uplifted eyes, said "Gideons" In ar
instant IL was adopted
An important department of the work OF
the Gideons is the auxiliary. Without for
NAL organization the wives and daughter:
of these men are united In close relation
TO the work and are part of the strength
of the Gideons.

 Ranelagh could not remember that Brant had said anything about wash ing up and changing his clothes The servant was in the bedroom, undress- ing, when she heard the doctors wagon halt Tn front of the house.
 When questioned as to whether she heard Mary's voice downstairs, her re- ply was that she had not, but that she could hear Brant talking plainly: that he rushed wildly from one room to another, and that twice she had heard him exclaim, By Heaven! am free at last" And she was positive that she heard the rattle of the tin basin when he took it from the nail where she had recollected having hung 1t. .,..
 On the eve of his trial Schuyler Brant, driven to madness by the awful, though unreal fabric of his own guilt thus reared by the hand of fate, stran- gled himself to death with one of his braces.
