Brother Crafts was a powerful preach

the ineffable glories of Heaven and
the joys of the redeemed, which was
not too often, the reflection of the ce-

spreading away from the shore of the
pulpit steps. When he spoke of hell
and its terrors, which was frequently
and with thrilling descriptive, even so

he announced his text i'm a voice that
rang like an alarm bell pealed in the

from the packed benches was like the
sympathetic vibration of harpstrings

BY half-past six of the June evening
the revivalist's congregation had begun
to assemble.
Those who came farthest were first
on the ground; and by the time L.
ear-old Thomas Jefferson, spattins
barefooted up the dusty pike, mad
reached the church house with the kew,
there was a goodly sprinkling of un-
hitched teams in the grove, the horses
champing their feed noisily in the wag-
on-boxes, and the people gathering IN
little neighborhood knots to discuss
gravely the one topic uppermost In All
minds-the present outpouring of grace
on Paradise Valley and the region
roundabout.

DARING ASCENT MADE
BY BOY IN BALLOON

Lincoln, Neh., June 14.-Clyde Heckle,
Is years old, made a terrifying 5000
foot balloon ascension last night, cling
ing for part of the time to the clutch
rope of the air craft. He landed half
an hour after the start in the middle OF
a shallow lake at a summer resort near
Lincoln.
Adolph Weiberg, an aeronaut, who
gives exhibitions at the resort by as
cendng in a balloon and descending by
parachute, had made preparations for
his regular trip. Young Heekle, with
other boys, was holding the ropes. The
boy had asked to be allowed to make
the ascent, but was refused. Just as the
aeronaut seated in his parachute, call
ed to his assistants to let go, Heckle
with a knife severed the two ropes
holding the aeronaut. The airbag leap
ed upward and Heckle grasped the
clutch rope of the balloon. Weiberg,
with his parachute, was left on the
ground. For possibly a thousand feet
Heckle went upward almost like a
rocket. clinging only with his flande
Then he managed to swing himself
astride the clutch rope, and after an
ascent of over a mile came down with
out a mishap.
