nov british Churches are Fined.


A startling explanation is given Of
why some British churches hive large
congregations while others remain
empty.
Rev John Crquhart, Il Glasgow min
lister, preaching ut Highgate Road
Baptist chapel, London, in the absence
Of the regular minister, said he could
mention churches in which congrega-
ton could not be obtained unless the
minister kissed all the young ladies'"
So low indeed had they descended
that such tricks must be played In or
der that they might obtain congre.
cation. Unless such things were done,
he said, the churches were sneered at
as being too straitlaced

Rice's mill last Saturday morning to

between Prof. Jeffries and Capt.

board fence on either side, running
to the track, which makes this a dam
gerous crossing.
This passenger train, which is due

Of mules got on the track the en-

about thirty feet, killing both and
demolishing the wagon. Meadcr was
fortunately thrown in the ditch with
part Of the wagon over him, and he
WAS only stunned. The train stopped

wrote you last week about the sick
ness and misfortune in the burg, but it
makes one feel good to be able to
write something good. One of the best
things | have seen this winter took place
on Thursday afternoon, when Mayburg
was invaded by about 40 ladies from Kel-
l~ettville that came in two large sled loads
and four or five sleighs. Drove right to
the preachers, Rev. Zabniser, and sur
prised him and his wife by presenting
them with about $40 in cash and $50 or
$40 worth of groceries and dry goods
the ladies were at their very best, and
when the ladies of Kellettville make up
their minds to be at their best you see
displayed all those qualities that go TO
make up a beautiful and loving woman,
filled with noble deeds and a loving
spirit. God bless you, ladies, your act
was not only generous, but it was done
beautifully, and the ~neighborly spirit of
it was grand.

Fire Fatality Narrowly Ayerted.

A dwelling owned by the Watson
Lands Lumber Co, at Mayburg, this
county, and occupied by Frank Rahorn
and family, was burned to the ground
last Sunday afternoon. The fire start
ed in the kitchen, and Immediately
gained such Roadway that it was impossi-
BILE to check it with the limited water
supply at hand. In the house was Mrs.
L. l.. Littlefield, a daughter of Mr.. RAJ
thorn, who had been sick and was still
confined to her bed, and it was with dili-
Guilty she was rescued flo IN the flames.
In the excitement attending her rescue
the little four-year-old son of Mr.. RAJ
horn was missed, and it dawned upon
the horror-stricken parent that his child
was still in the building. He rushed
through the flames into the dining room
where he found the little fellow crouched
upon the floor and nearly sutfocated from
the smoke, but not burned any, The
father was considerably burned about
the face and hands, though not seriously,
Very little of the household effects were
saved. The property loss will amount ia
abont $500, with no insurance.
The misfortune comes with double
force upon Mr.. Rahorn, who lost his son,
aged II years, about we weeks ago, from
typhoid fever.
