A serious accident was caused
early this morning by the collision Of 3

a wagon. Mr.. S. NJ. Hastings, farmer
and truck gardener who lives about
three miles southwest of Granville. was
driving into town in company with his

ter Mabel
They were bringing a wagon load Of
produce into town and were taking it
70 the four or five grocery stores located
at the corner of Tenth and Topeka ave-.
nues where they intended to dispose of
1t. At this point the West Tenth ave
nue. cars pass and as they have a long
straight stretch of track they usual
attain high rate OF speed-in fact much
too nigh. Mr. Hastings had noticed the
car approaching from the east and was
trying to avoid this when he crossed
over onto the track in the way Of the
west bound car. This car was going at
a very fast rate and before the motor
man could stop it, it had crashed into
the wagon.
All the occupants were thrown from
the wagon onto the pavement and al
were more or less hurt. Mrs. Hastings
was badly injured but 1t is not thought
permanently. She was dragged a long
distance by the frightened horses. Mabel
the three year old daughter, was badly
bruised about the head and face and
her hip was broken. She was taken to
Christ hospital
The injured people were taken to the
home of DR.. C. A. Mcclure where they
were taken care of and their wounds
dressed The team ran away but we're
captured near Western avenue The
wagon was badly damaged and the
produce was scattered along the pave

Strange Work For Women.

"Grls are dlsplaclng men in walks
Of life undreamed Of only decade
ago." said August II. Kaems, deputy
state factory inspector Of Sheboygan.
"Up in my own city girls have been
working in the varnish rooms Of the
chair factories for almost twenty years,
and within the last ten years many
others have found employment in one
of the foundries enameling kitchen
utensils. Barring the intense heat In
the rooms, the work Is comparatively
easy, though it does seem strange to
find women in foundries.
"The bottling departments Of the
breweries also employ girls In prefer
ence to boys, and, the work being al
most entirely automatic, where other
conditions are wholesome, little crit
icism can be made.
"It was not until l entered upon my
present duties that learned that girls
are also being employed In tanneries.

quite a surprise to me when saw frail

girls are principally employed In the
chrome departments. In northern

found women employed in the saw
mills."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

AllhaIIows, Lombard Street, London.


Although many of the historical
churches in the city Of London have
been demolished, there is good reason
why three-quarters Of those which re-
main standing should be pulled down.
Millions of pounds are wasted every
year which might be devoted to poor
benefices, which are powerless to do
the work required for want Of funds.
Take the case Of the most valuable
city church, for Observation-Disclosures,
In Lombard street. The site Of this
church is worth 100000, a sum sufii-
clent to build and endow forty
churches and thus to meet the spirit
ual requirements Of town as large
as Derby or Brighton. And yet the
entire population Of Allhallows par
ish is we'll under 300, while the average
congregation attending the church Is

Secret Place of Thunder.


We do not know what were the
scenes that caused these words to
spring from the lips Of the ancient
poet. but since his time the child OF
God has often been reminded Of them
In times Of trouble and crisis. 1t Is
we'll to know that there are secret
places In which Gods voice may be
heard by the discouraged soul. There
are times when the heart of the faith
full is depressed by the noises wran-
cling around him; when his ears are
filed with the loud babble OF the
worlds disputlngs, with the fierce cries
of contention, with the silly utterances
of society's frivolIty, with the vain and
foolish sophstry Of learned philoso-
piers proclaimlng that there Is no God.
Then happy is he If he can retire into
his closet or some other secret place
and hear the voice Of God answering
his perturbed spirit in thunder tones.
The words suggest that Gods secret
places Of thunder are far away from
the ordinary haunts Of man. They are
so far away that for a little while al
least we can get away from the selfish
nesses and meannesses and sordidness
surrounding US. We can live upon a
higher plane. We can be, as / was
some time ago, when l climbed the
San Bernardino mountains to camp III
the noted Little Bear valley of south
ern California. After we had gone up
1000. 1000, 5000, 1000, 5000 feet sud
denly we came to the summit. There
we were able to stand upon the rocks
and with sweep Of eye take in the ho'
plains dotted with cities and villages
and ranches. There we could see
where men and women were toillne
and struggling in the work Of everyday
life. but we were above them all and
above their turmoil. We were In the
flesh, vet we were so far up that wher
the mists began to gather they shut ou
the whole world beneath us. These
| mists looked like O great sea, with here
| and there q mountain peak pushing 1t
self I'D. reminding US Of the world be
meath us as the Azores rising above thu
Atlantic remind us Of the continent O.
Atlantis sunk beneath the waves. L
was a strange experience-that of with
drawal from the world and all its con
Germs. It Is necessary at times, whel
our vision is clouded and our spirit
warped by the worlds principles ant
maxlms, to climb beyond its reach int
the upper air of Gods presence, wher
In the secret place of thunder we ma
hear his voice. Thus in order to reac
Gods secret places of thunder we mus
get out Of the world. We must III
ourselves above its meannesses an
sins. We must lift ourselves fror
earth and walk with God and cOmmun
with God upon the mountain tops Q
love and gentleness and kindness. W
must learn upon these mountain top
Of spirituality to breathe the pure a.
Of the purposes for which we wer
born and for which we can live throug
all eternity.

Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmage. d. ID.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 23.-In this
sermon the preacher finds lesson
amid the mountain peaks and valleys,
the breeding places of storm and tenn
pest. The text Is Psalm lxxxi, 7, 81 an
swered thee In the secret place Of thun-
der"
Israel caught his inspiration formy textf
Was he herding his sheep one day In the
valley or the lowlands, where the shep-
herds, a thousand years later, watched
their nocks by night and heard the
angel of the nativity say, Fear not,
for behold | bring you tidIngs Of great
10y, which shall be to all people, for
unto you Is born this day In the city OF
David Il Saviour which Is Christ the
LordT While he was sitting upon
rock In the fields did he not look up and
see the storm clouds gathering over the
surrounding hills? Then away of In
the distance did he hear the muttering
of the thunder? And while the valleys
remained dry did he see the rain fall
ing In torrents upon the mountain
heights? Then did he see beautiful
rainbow In great arch lift Itself above
those mountain tops? And then did he
remember the words which God spake
unto Noah thousand years before the
psalmist WAS born, II do set my bow
I'm the clouds, and 1t shall be for token
OF a covenant between me and the
earth. and will remember my cove
nant which Is between me and you ana
every living creature Of all flesh, and
the waters shall no more become
food to destroy all flesh?" Then when
David saw the rainbow and witnessed
the storm clouds disappear did he reel
that God was his protector and never
falling friend? Was he filed with the
divine peace which passeth all under
standlngi
Or It may be different scenes that
suggested to the sweet singer or lsraei
the image Of my text. Perhaps 1t was
ON a day when one Of his sheep went
astray. He counted the flock over and
over again, and he found that one was
surely lost. So he started up the noun
tain side to hunt It, Higher and higher
he went. He plunged through this
tbicket and that. Then at last he found
N Rut I'm the meantime the night set

were shut out by the black clouds
| Then the thunder began to growl. Then
with his bleating sheep following close
] n. his heels, he saw the ligLsI.ags hasr
IAud s,.atter u huge tree just q short die
tance off. Then he said: "Ah, that must
have been the way Gods voice sounded
to Moses when he spoke to him among
the caverns and the deep ravines OF ole
Sinai. This is truly one Of the secret
places of thunder" l personally be
lleve that the psalmist did not catct
the meaning of my text when he was
tending his sheep down In the valleys
but when he was hunting for los'
lamb In one Of the secret places OF
thunder, upon one Of the highest peaks
! Of the Judean mountains overlooking
the little village of Bethlehem, where
he was born and where his family a.
that time dwelt.
