Poore was a steady attendant at the

came a night when the excitement at
the revival seemed to be less than
usual, there was not. at least so much
loud singing and praying, though it is

urgently desired.

Charleston, S. C.-Thomas Drayton
Poore of Oconee county, who gradual

speech while hundreds looked on and
prayed.
Poore is a well-to-do planter and
real estate operator. He has been
for many years leading member of
the Baptist church in Westminster,
and his word, his neighbors unite in
saying, is thoroughly trustworthy.
Mr.. Poore early in 1908 began to be
troubled with nervous symptoms
They rapidly progressed, and in Feb
ruary of that year his voice began to
fail. He had been public speaker
and for many years had been accus-
toned to sing in the church, his tones
being unusually strong and clear
None of the physicians summoned
was able to stop the malady, which
II was decided was due to a rare type
of nervous Indigestion.
BY December, 1908, Mr.. Poore's
voice was so nearly gone that on the
18th of that month he could no longer
even whisper. A day or so later even
the medical attendants gave the case
up as hopeless.

If one we're to descend in an aeroplane
from a height of 10000 feet on the same
spiral on which he went up he would land
whereNhe started.
1t is impossible to tell how high the at
mosphere reaches.
Its height has been calculated to be
from 40 to 100 miles above the earth's
crust and every particle of it is attracted by
gravitation downward toward the center Of
the earth.
In other words, the atmosphere travels
with the earth at the same rate that the
earth's surface travels
