A CREED FULL OF LEAKS
That All Sinners and Many Christ

Every Day Life is Shown.

z In his address at the Baptist
church Oh Wednesday night, Rev.
Mr.. Conant took up the profession
as the creed of the unsaved nan and
pointed out the flaws in it, showing
plainly how %inconsist MT all such
claims are. He said the man who
claims that he pays his debts is still
a robber because he has not met the
debt which he owes to God. Blu
especially does the mar who says, |
care for my family have a great flaw
in his creed because caring for wife

cut she crossed DRY Run OH the ice.
She did not think but what the Ice
was sufficiently strong to bear her
up, but when half way across she
broke Through and sank out of sight,
Coming up She grasped the thin ice
and fought along until she went
down a second time, but she was
able TO prevent much water from
entering her mouth or nose. When
she came up the second time the
little girl fought all the harder ana
finally struck some tirmer ice and
was able to drag herself from the
lev water. There was not a soul in
sight who witnessed the accident.
and but for her courage and bravery
IN fighting her way out she would
have been drowned and no one would
have known what became of her.
When she got on dry land she
stated for Ter home a bali mile
away. Chilled through and more less

was all Helen could do to walk and
Sue fell down a halt dozen times,
until she was able to regain her
