Life Of the Little Jumpers.
Scriptural Injunction is followed IL
the kitchen as well as the bare little
chapel. Pork is eschewed as unclean;
so are fish without scales Fruits
and cereals form the bases of tho
favorite dishes.
What Of the 80 little children who
live in such surroundings? They pray
as they play. Their ills are treated,
too, with oil poured on their bodies
and by prayer. They learn to jump
and go TO the meetInss and give
strange Testimonies"
Here is a prayer which the Jumpers
credit TO Glenn Plank, aged three:
Dear Lord, we thank you for help
ing us to sing songs. | thank You fol
making my ear we'll Supply our needs
for this day and send in some dollars.
My shoes are awful bad, send me in
some new ones, for Jesus sake.
Amen"
Services for Children.
The children have special services
to pray for clothes and the mission
aries. They have PRAYER meetings
every morning from $50 to 1880
o'clock. They also have praise serv
ices" distinct from those of their eld
ers. They range in age rom babyhood
to 10 or II years. I'm the school term
one of the Jumpers explained, I'VE
also teach them in secular knowledge,
including some of the high school
branches"
Indeed, children may be called a
star feature at Zarephath. The farm
was given by Mrs. Garretson for a
children's home as we'll as for mis-
sionary work, and in the notices OF
the camp meeting the building is
called "children's home.'
Characteristic of the sect is Bird.

when he recently returned from the
west Their enthusiasm evidently
filled his heart with gladness, for he
says:
I'VE were delighted once more to
meet the children and to hear them
pray and testify, God is certainly
blessing this department of our work
and helping the little ones to become
faithful in His service, They have
their little trials aud experiences, and
win battles which mean more in their
lives than any OF the great historical
conflicts of this world"

In the bare reception room one
sound predominated over all others.
Outside were sunshine and the song
Of life--the click of the windmill,
locusts, and bees buzzing in a corn
field, the chatter of children, the
sound of hammers as the workers
raised a big tent for the camp meet
ing. Inside was the sound of hymns
pounded out ON a hardtoned piano,
persistently, monotonously, endlessly
until the visitor thought of the most
maddening in the list of ancient tor
tures--the steady drip of water on a
man or womans head.

"Yes. II was given to us about two
years ago by Mrs. Garretson-Mrs. w.

the light of the Lord in faith--she and
her son and her two daughters. We
have been here about year and a
half. There are 80 acres of land and
30 grown people, some of them mar
ried, but mostly young men and
women, and about as many more chill
dren. They have given up all their
worldly goods and followed Him."
"You must have plenty of money,
then?"
ooh, no" with smile. People with
worldly goods are not eager to give
them up and follow the Lord"
Gradually more facts came out after
persistent questioning. Six years ago,
Mrs. Alma White, wife of a Methodist
preacher in Denver, was inspired to
preach on her own account. The con
ference of the Methodist church
would not make her a full hedged
minister. But the Lord blessed her
in singing" so she started her own
church. She calls it the Pentecostal
Union, her neighbors, THE Pillar of
Fire; the public, the Holy Jumpers.

Wesley, before people thought only

Mrs. White is still the head--the
Mrs. Eddy, the Mrs. Piper-of the
sect. She lives In Denver where the
Holy Jumpers have Bible school and
$50 missloners and the union got a
charter in 1902. Mrs. Whites brother,
c. w. Bridwell, is the head of the
farm at Weston which is the eastern
headquarters of the sect. There are
other mission houses in Los Angeles,
and Lafayette, Ind, with dozen mis-
sionaries each.

to talk in the next room. They might

Saved by April Fool Time.

When Francis, duke of Lorraine,
and his wife were awaiting death in
the prison of Nantes they chose as
the day for an attempt to escape the
list of April.
" Disguised as peasants, says a
chronicler, the one bearing a bod
on his shoulder, the other carrying
a basket of rubbish on her back,
they both at an early hour of the
day passed through the gates of the
city. A woman having a knowledge
of their persons ran to the guard to
give notice to the sentry.
"April fool!" cried the soldier,
and his comrades to a man shouted
out, "April foolp'
The governor, to whom the Incl
dent was related as a great jest, be-
came suspicious and ordered an in
vestigation, but it was too late, for
in the meantime the duke and his
wife were well on their way. The
1st of April had saved them.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

A DOCTORS HEROISM.
His Very Remarkable Feat Required
Strenqth as Well as Bravery.

Ills Very remarkable Fear HequITeo
Strength as Well as Bravery.
The author of '"The Malakand
Field Force" records the following
deed, which was performed in In
dia and was indeed a noble one.
It occurred after night had fallen
upon a holly contested battle
ground. The British had with
great difficulty repulsed an enemy
overwhelmingly superior in num-
bers and had withdrawn into their
defenses. The deadly hollow some
distance in front of their lines, call
ed "the cup" was commanded from
several directions by the fire of the
natives and swept at intervals by
their swordsmen.
"Lieutenant Ford had been seri-
ously wounded in the shoulder. The
bullet cut the artery, and he was
bleeding to death when Surgeon
Lieutenant V. Hugo came to his
aid. The fire was too hot to allow
of lights being used. There was no
cover of any sort. 1t was at the
bottom of the cup. Nevertheless
the surgeon struck match at the
peril of his life and examined the
wound. The match went out amid
a sputter of bullets, which kicked
up the dust all around, but by its
uncertain light he saw the nature
of the injury.
"The officer had already tainted
from loss of blood. The doctor seiz-
ed the artery, and as no other liga-
ture was forthcoming he remained
under fire for three hours, holding
a mans life between his finger and
thumb. When at length it seemed
that the enemy had broken into the
camp he picked up the unconscious
officer in his arms and, without re-
Taxing his hold, bore him to a place
of safety"
For many hours after this feat,
as remarkable for the strength dis
played as for the heroism which in
spired it, the gallant surgeons arm
was paralyzed and useless from the
strain. Little wonder. Not every
man could carry another away,
using one arm only and with the
other, hand retaining a grasp which
had already lasted three hours upon
severed artery.
Glad he not had the strength to
do so Lieutenant Ford must have
died." is the way his commanding
officer put it when he narrated the
act in his dispatches.

THE PICTURE CRITIC.
II He Doesn't "Quite Like the Face"
That Settles 1t.

Some liberal minded people will adj
NIT to you that a slight preliminary
training is required before a serious
attempt is made TO criticise music. but
almost anybody with eyes is willing to
embark buoyantly on the job of tear
ing picture to pieces. This seems to
be because the picture will stand with
out hitching. Moreover, 1t will patient
~ submit to all the verbal harpoOnS
you find time and strength to throw,
and the average friendly critic will
find sufficient of both to make even a
reasonably good painting look like a
cross between a fourteenth century st.
Sebastian and hedgehog.
Music, on the contrary, is both pro-
longed and evanescent, and by the
time the composition is finished and
the applause has quieted down the
critic has forgotten most of the good
things he intended to say to it's detri-
ment
But the picture stays, irritating you
by its mere passive endurance to the
point where after awhile you feel that
If you don't say something to destroy
its SNUG self complacency 1t will go on
thinking that it's all right.
So then you begin to work over
It. and you say: eyes. I see now. 1t
looked pretty good at first, but that
arm is hopelessly bad. and / don't
quite like the face" There's nothing
to be done if you don't "quite like the
face" there's no answer to that propo-
sition., It's a clincher. Rembrandt
himself would have wilted and would
probably have given up trying to be
an "old MASTER Everybody's.
