John A. Miller, who runs a thresh-

jured north of Eagle Lake last even
ing. The machine had threshed a
setting of stacks and was being moved
| to a new place, when Mr.. Miller hap
pened to fall down in front of the
separator, in the plowed ground. He
fell lengthways of the machine, and
one of the wheels caught his foot
and started to run over him. 1t ira
versed his leg as far as his body
before the engineer knew what was
the matter and stopped the machine
The separator had to be backed up to
lrelease him. He was taken to the
home of a relative, Mrs. Dole, not
far away, and physicians were sum-
moned from this city.
1t was found that the thigh bone
was crushed, and there are possibly
internal injuries. The bone below the
knee was not broken, although the
flesh was crushed. This is due to the
fact OF the ground being soft.
If the machine had not been stop

two different occasions of taking
nen into the church who were
o6 years old and l say to you
to. day that l love the old people
and am willing to do my very
best to lead them to Christ, but
would rather any time take a lit.
tie child into the church than an
old person. ''You ask why p"
Because when a little child comes
to Christ it means whole life
consecrated to God; when an old
person comes to God, 1t means
the conservation of just rem.
napt of life, all the best part of
the life has been wasted in sin
and can never be recalled. And
| brand it as a lie, as black as
hell, that a man makes a better
christian because he has spent
40 years of his life in the ser.
vice of the devil.
Gypsy Smith tells of a great
experience meeting he attended
in London, where men were tes-
tifying to the wonderful power of
God to save, and he said: "One
man got up and said: 4 was a
drunkard and God saved me;'
another said: 4 was q Jail. bird
and God saved me;' another
said: Il was thief and God
saved me- another said; l was a
libertine and God saved me-
Gypsy Smith sprang to his feet
and said; 'tMen! listen, God
has done more for me than he
has for you. God came to me
when l was a poor, little, ignor'
ant, motherless boy, and saved
me before ever became drunk
ard, thief, libertine or any of
those things you are telling
about. A fence at the top of the
precipice is better than hospit-
al at the bottom of it,
''It is the nature of a little
child to trust and to have faith

Because, she replied: Papa
can be with US all the time then.'
"You ask me, do you believe
in children becoming christains?'
I reply, with all my heart, yes.
1t was a bright day in my life
when last summer my 6.year.
old girl came to me at the close

said: Papa, want to be a

No, bat am going to do all
can to help her to be a true
