ARE BURIED TOGETHER
Fatal Fall Is Followed by Death 81
Victims Sister.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New Orleans.-As a sequel to the
sudden death of Patrick Healy, veteran
of the Civil war, came the demise Of
Sister Peter, of Mount Carmel Asy-
lum, who, before she took her vows,
was Miss Mary Healy, a sister of Mr..
Healy. The old veteran had just come
from the asylum, where his sis er lay
dying, and was in the act of getting
off a Magazine car at ST. Mary and
Camp street when his foot slipped
and he fell to the pavement, never
regaining consciousness, and dying
later in the Charity hospital.
Sister Peter did not hear OF her
veteran brothers death until some
time later. and it is understood the
news only served to hasten her own
death. Mr.. Healy has another sister,
Mrs. NJ. H. Egan, living in Crowley,
and received long-distance telephone
message saying that she was coming
TO New Orleans to be at the bedside
of Sister Peter, who, the doctors said,
had not many hours to live, and he had
escorted her to Mount Carmel Asy-
lum, Piety and Dauphine streets. It
was while alighting from the Maya
zine car, on his return from the asy-
lum, that Mr.. Healy received the in
juries that later proved fatal.
The bodies of the brother and sis.
ter were buried together.

Everybody who came to see and

The kiosk is surrounded by a little

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER II
THE GREAT QUESTION.
LESSON TEXT-Mark s:27-s:1

LESSON TEXT-Mark S:27-9:1.
GOLDEN TEXT-"Thou art the Christ
the Son of the living God."-Matthew 16:
l6
The events of this lesson occur in
the summer A. d. 20 during the last OF
Jesus ministry in Galilee just before
his final departure for Jerusalem. 1t
marks parting of the ways. We have
seen Jesus as introduced by John the
Baptist; heard him on the Mount as
he pronounces the principles of his
kingdom; watched him as he called
his disciples about him for training;
the rulers of the people. Already vir-
tually rejected by all save few faith
full friends he seems to test these to
see If they are fundamentally right on
the two important questions. DO they
recognize me as the Messiah DO
they understand that must die in or
der to accomplish my mission"
/. Whom say YEP" Wv. 1928. No
tice, Jesus does not ask those outside
of his own circle for testimony. There
concerned about the opinion of the
world. but he is tremendously con-
cerned about what his followers be-
heve. His first question ". I'D is a
general one and their reply is likewise
a very broad one. To some Of us 1t
suggests something OF the physical ap-
pearance Of Jesus. No one can read
the descriptive passages about John
the Baptist, Elijah or jeremiah and
come to the conclusion that Jesus was
other than a man of strong physique,
not such a man as is usually pictured
for us by the artists. But this intro
ductory question does not satisfy the
Savior. 1t will not suffice for us to
accept Jesus as "a good man a little
higher than the prophets" Jesus de-
mands a more personal reply, Whom
say ye?" The strength of Christian
ity is our personal opinion of Jesus
the Messiah; the proof of Christianity
is our personal witnessing; the test of
Christianity is our personal expert
ence.. Must we confess him? (Read
1 John AIS, Acts 800 and Rom,
10:9-10) This brings us face to face
with the question of the incarnation.
If man doubts that faction he will
doubt the inspiration of the Scriptures.
Those who doubt the inspiration of
the word of God will certainly doubt
the incarnation.
