FAMILY PRAYER AT KIRUNDu

FAMILY PRAYER AT KIRUNDU
 In the narrative recently published by Mr. Wm. Edgar Geil of a journey across Africa, I have found much in teresting and valuable information about missions and their results, One incident so impressed me that am im- pelled to ask you to give space to tell it to the readers of your paper.
 The traveller, with one European companion, had parted from his cara van, appointing as a place of meeting ! Kirundu, in the would country north west of the Victoria Nyanza, on the border of the Congo State. He reached this place at p. m., but his caravan was not there, nor could he learn any thing about it. He was hospitably re- ceived. but felt grave misgivings. When ! conducted to his sleeping quarters, fin ! shadoWy corners crouched black canni- bal figures, absolutely silent; their eyes dark, mirthless and cruel, flashed from out of cayerns of overhanging eyebrows with their hand on wicked looking spears These silent savages boded no i good" The travellers impression of im- pending evil was heightened when the ] young Chief Bogwo asked me to de- lay sleep for little. What did this mean? Imagine my feelings when he took from rafter Bible and hymn book and humbly conducted evening worship. All sang.
 Come to Jesus; don't delay
 Remember He is here today.
 He read by the dim frelight; then all knelt in a strong voice the Chief ! of Kirundu prayed. He prayed; @
 God, we ask Thee to bind Thy law around our hearts, He con tinued: Q Lord, protect these two travellers from fever on the road Of
 their long journey Nothing could be kinder than the hospitality of the Chief
 of Kirundu We came upon Bogwo
 uninvited and unexpected, and behold, nothing but kindness and a keen Ge- 1 sire to accommodate us. As missions ! failure? Thing where and how this 1 happened. Letter to the Churchman.

The Court heard the testimony vi
several witnesses relative to the man
ner of selecting the trial jurors for
the county for the year in question,
and then made his finding and deliv-
cred his decision on the motion as
follows:
From the testimony produced here
on the hearing of the challenge, the
Court finds that all of the persons
whose names were put on the jury list
were selected by the Board Of Coun-
ty commissioners; that none Of them
were selected by MIR. Dawley as al

that it is not true that selections were
not made from cid jury lists, although

finding out the names, it would have
been perfectly proper. The book
used was book showing jury service
and it was proper for the commits
sioners to consult that book l do

in certain cases said that certain
men would be good jurymen; | do
not find that in any case the Com

POLICE LINES WORKING T.,
Three Bulgarlans En- Route East Ar
rested in Ohio.

Cleveland Ohio, March 30.-The po-
lice Of Fostoria, Ohio, late last night
took off a Nickel Plate train three Bull
garians, woman and two men, thought
to be implicated in the sextuple tragedy
in Minneapolis, Tuesday night. Later
they were released as they were able to
prove that they were in no way connect
ed with the affair.
The three persons when arrested had
tickets from Minneapolis to New York
and were atfrst believed to be three Of
the party responsible for the Mime
apolis killing.
The capture of the three suspects
was brought about by the aid of George
Haresh, conductor Of the train. The
train was searched by the police of Fort
Wayne, Ind, who had been requested by
the Minneapolis police department to
watch for two men and a woman be-
lieved to be fleeing to New York. They
were overlooked by the Indiana police.
The conductor heard of the search and
before reaching Fostoria had located
the three in an immi grant train.
When the Fostoria policemen boarded
the train, Conductor Harsh pointed out
to them the trio. They answered the
meager descriptions supplied with the
request from Minneapolis and were ar
rested. Tickets from Minneapolis to
New York were found on them.
The men and the woman would not
respond to questions as to their where
