STONE FOR CHILD SAVING
Material I'm Court House Retaining
Wall Asked by Dr. A. W..
CLARK.

Rev. A. w. Clark, superintendent OF the.
Child Saving Institute, has made formal
application to the county commissioner
for a donation OF the stone in the old re-
tanning wall of the court house to be used
for the foundation walls of the new Child
Saving Institutes new building.
1.-The grounds upon which we make this
application are that the institute has al
ways oo-operated with the county In help
ing bear the county burdens says Dr..
Clark. For years, every day during the
S5 days OF every year. the institute has
sheltered and fed children that were
county cases and without this shelter fur
nished by the institute would have been
in the county hospital, In the very nature
OF our work the institute stands in a class
by itself in its relation TO the county, be-
cause we alone are prepared TO do the
work that otherwise devoives upon the
county. and therefore we feel justified in
making the above appeal for this material

over the case for almost three hours before

A feature of the case was that before
Mcdonald died a woman missionary went
to the rear room Of the saloon. where he
was and offered a prayer. She was Mrs.

soon as she heard OF the case she felt
prompted to so and pray, but did not do so,
as she did not want TO enter the saloon.
Later, she related, she was overcome by q
desire to pray beside the man. Entering
the room, which was filled with men. she
paved fervently for the forgiveness OF the
mans sins and the acceptance OF his soul.

Individual does not have to exert himself
in his studies. Thereby he misses what .
poor mans son gains as a result Of neces.

rich mems sons for students. l told the
students they had my sympathy. 1t is
not the fashion now to be rich.
But rich these youths undoubtedly
would be. and therefore they were fore.
doomed to obscurity. Young men arc
