A Critique of a Prayer.

/ hard Mr.. Harry Gaze lecture re.
Gently and he criticised the prayer we
teach our infant children to make
ever night on retiring-"Now l lay me
down to Sleep etc.
He said it was a terrible mistake to
have placed before the mind Of an in
FAINT child every day as part of a
paryer the thought of death, as in "if
should die before | wake"
Is it not a serious experiment, this
constant placing the thought of death
not only, but Of "sudde:. DEATH" be-
for. the mind of child every day and
day after day Of life, and might 1t not
tend to result in early death?
The mind Of child is most impress
sionable. 1t should not be allowed to
contemplate death, and especially the
fear of death, habtualIy. It's teach
ings should be the JOY of life, OF
health, Of strength, OF the Infinite. The
prayer should be uplifting, aspiring
joyous.
Character. is thus formed. .--Medicc

Witness Relates Conversation
With Thornton at Time

FLUSHING. n. Y, Dec. 22.-Testi-
mony of a character designed to cor
roborate the stories of the killing of
William Z. Annis. which have been
told in the trial of Thornton J. Hains,
was developed today from several Of
the prosecutions witnesses.
William Knapp, Bay Side yacht
cross examination after testifying that,
while sailing toward the dock after
the impromptu boat race. he heard
shooting and saw Mrs. Annis run down
the runway.
Il saw her move across the float"
continued Knapp, then she was
stopped. and she went back up the
runway again. Some one took her by
the arm at the runway. l could not
see who stopped her. because she was
hidden by the jib of Annis boat"
Mrs. Helen z. Annis testified yester-
day that Thornton Hains turned her
back with revolver when she ran
across the float toward her wounded
husband.
John c. Stephens. another fellow club
member of Annis, testified that he
heard the defendant say after the
shooting that ST came to protect my
who fnterfered."
Both the witnesses. Knapp and
Stephens. asserted on the stand that
there was a noticeable interval be-
tween the first and subsequent shots
fired by Captain Hams at Annis.
Stephens described the shooting, say
ing there was one shot, an interval of
or 10 seconds. then several more
shots. Stephens said Annis rose at the
first shot and after the other shots
fell into the water.
Stephens said that on landing at the
float he saw a man, whom he pointed
out as Thornton Hains, swinging a
pistol and saying, The first man to
move is a dead man. or words to
that effect
The witness said that when the de-
fendant handed over his revolver Cap
tain Hains said. I'VE have finished
our business. There will be no more
shooting"
stephens gave the defense damaging
blow in his testimony concerning the
conversation on the float with the de-
fendant.
Il said to the defendant that I did
not sympathize with him and he re-
Piled: If you had a brother you would
have protected him. L replied that if
had q brother like that 1 would lock
him up, and any way. in my country,
they settle things like this with their
fists.
The defendant said I guess you
don't come from this country My
brother is an army officer and in the
army we settle things this way
Il answered that whatever country
vofr rOpne from, vo11 ShOuld NOT have
shot him down like a dog and the de-
fendant said: When you know all you
will think differently. I was prepared
to protect my brother and I was pre-
pared to shoot any one who inter-
fered.'
