in charge his case told me that
they thought he could 60 to his

this week. Should this be per.

are reading this letter he will be

am told that his physicians
say that the condition of his sys-
TENTS freedom from poisons of
either liquor or tobacco-aided
much in his speedy return to
health. Medicines administered
to him, not having any poison to
overcome, acted i'm Immediately, and
accomplished just what they de-
sired them to do. To me, it Is a
wonder indeed that, with eight
perforations of the bowels, man
should in so short time be so
far along on the road to perfect
health. We recognize the skill of
the physician, the excellent care
of the attending nurses, and the
sanitary benefits of a good hos

Out of the gloom and shadow
that was cast upon the five hun
dred delegates of the Iowa State
Sabbath School Association, and
the people of Iowa Falls and sur.
rounding community, when Char
ley was shot, we come with shout

lives.
The interest of this com munlty
which is Is miles from Iowa Falls
was in this case, intense from the
very first announcement of the
tragedy. SAINT and sinner were
constant in their inquiry about
the young preacher. One man
an ungodly fellow-after listen,

said, "Well I'll be - If / ever
knew preacher that was a cow

Perhaps it may be thought that
this young man was rash to CRAP
pie with a burglar whom he knew
was armed; but / believe that, al
least, seventy-tive out of every
hundred persons would have done
as he did under similar circum
stances. AS to myself | am in
cliued to think l would have beer
one of the twenty-five out of thu
hundred, for l would have beer
paralyzed with fear.
