EXTEND PASTOR CALL
Members of Baptist Church Ask For
Rev. Rutherford.

Following an excellent sermon on
Courage" by Rev. J. A. Lapham, OF
Pella, in which he gave inspiring ex-
amples of the strengthening power
of Christ in unfolding His followers,
the members of the First Baptist
church held business meeting Sun
day morning and after a few min
utes' discussion extended unanim-
Gus call to Rev. s. Z. Rutherford, of
Orion, Ills, to the pastorate of the
Oskaloosa church. A most cncourag-
ing spirit of unity and harmony was
manifest and an earnest enthusiasm
was shown such as has not been
known in the organization for years.
The church has undergone season
of depression and has been without
regular pastor for several months,
but with one accord the membership
has extended the call to Rev. Ruth
erford and offered him the largest
salary ever paid in the history OF
the church. This was made possible
only by the promise of liberal sup
port from the Baptist State Conven-
ton, which has cO-operated with
them in securing a strong man, fer
the field. Rev. Rutherford is a young
man of unusual power and sincere
purpose. For the past six years he
has laborcd in the field where he Is
now located, and with such CRAFTY
ing success that his church has at
tracted attention throughout the
state, and they are very DESTROYS that
he remain with them longer. 1t is
to be hoped, however, that he will
see his way clear to- accept the, call
which has been extended to him and
take up the passionate of the local
church. Rev. Rutherford visited the
city a week ago Sunday and supplied
the pulpit, both morning and evening
All those who heard him preach and
had the pleasure of meeting him are
\ most enthusiastic in working for
his coming to lnls field.
The Oskaloosa Baptist church has
| undergone q remarkable change un'
der the brief ministry of Ruy. La
pham, who has been supplying the
pulpit until a pastor could be secur'
| ed, and to his effort is due much OF
the credit for the healthy spirit OF
| activity which has eliminated in the
undertaking of new and larger plans
The church has been greatly handi
capped financially, bu' if the spirit
manifest Sunday is indicative of q
permanent, change the financial end
of the organization will be taken care
of more easily than ever before IN
spite of, greater obligations. Rev. La
pham has spent considerable time il
a practical discussion of systematic
| giving, and as result some have
signifed their intentions of giving
a full tenth of their income, while
nearly all have greatly increased and
many have doubled their last years
subscriptions TO benevolences. The
Baptists over the state are deeply
interested in the Oskaloosa cnurcf
AT this time and it is through theil
| cooperation that o choice of a pas
!or has been made and it is earnest
ly hoped that Rev. Rutherford may
accept the call. He would make &
| strong addition to the city's corps o.
| clergymen and he and his family
would be given a cordial reception II

YOUNG WOMAN ATTEMTED TO
KILL HERSELF HERE TODAY.
Continued from First Page }

Mrs. Barnes suffering terribly and
her burned face and an empty bottle
that had contained carbolic acid told
the tragic story. The children were
crying bitterly. Barnes was there
waiting the doctors arrival. Several
of the neighbors were at the home.
1t is reported that Barnes declared
| that his wife had tried to kill herself
and it is also reported that he said
that this may learn her a lesson. &"
II is reported that once before the
woman had attempted to end her life.
While the suffering woman was
being given every attention and after
she had been made as comfortable as
possible, she declined to make any ex-
PLANTATION whatever as to her rash
deed. She has maintained grim
silence throughout the day.
1t Is reported that Barnes struck
his wife this morning during a quar-
rel and shortly afterward the young
woman swallowed the poison.
1t is most pathetic case. Cir
cumstances at the home indicate that
the family is in practically destitute
circumstances and the young woman
and her two little children certainly
need attention and many of the neces-
Sl1ies VI me. me Cnlluren ana the
woman apparently need comfortable
clothing.
There is every reason to believe
that Mrs. Barnes, depressed and de-
jected over the treatment received
from her husband and miserable over
the environments of herself and her
little ones, decided to end her life
and seek rest in the grave.
This morning The Sentinel called
the attention OF the Associated Char
ties, whose duty 1t is to investigate
such cases of destitution as the case
of the woman and her children ap-
pear to be, to the ptiful circumstanc-
es to be witnessed at the Barnes
home in which death would have
been welcomed this morning by the
disheartened young mother.

a pretty toast to their octogenarian faith
er. Quite number of tokens were re-
ceived at the hotel and the table was
deliberately decorated with flowers from
the governors friends.
Governor Cobb Is now the Oldest iv-
ing ex-governor of Alabama He was
elected to the office of governor in 1915
and served for two terms, vacating the
office in 1882. Since his younger days he
has always been prominent in affairs OF
the state, and was several times hon.
ored with high public office.
In Birmingham Governor Cobb is widely
konwn and beloved. He Is still. even
at his advanced age. a very erect man
and standing more than six feet tall is
quite an attractive figure on the streets
in his Alpen-stock and prince albert coat,
in which style he has always dressed.
Governor Cobbs home is in Woodidwn
but he spends the greater portion of his
time on the farm of his son, John W.
Cobb, in Blount county.

Comfortable Garments For
Convalescents

While the convalescent may care very
little for appearances. at no time is it
more necessary to have attractive gar
ments. Friends who are calling notice
these things decidedly. and the srewsome
ravages of illness and disease are large
" modified by becoming and dainty ar
ticles of dress.
Among the garments especially designed
for invalids is a bed jacket of softest
WOOL fashioned on kimona lines that
makes it at once pretty and convenient.
1t has a short yoke worked In an open
stitch from which depends an ample body
while the sleeves are quite full and loose
which makes the garment easy to slip
on.
A long knitted scarf of soft wool takes
the place of the circular cape when the
patient is sitting up in bed or in a
chair, for short time. THESE scars
may be made in white. pink, blue and
mauve.
The newest bed socks are of fine Sax
