a big ladIe in the moldIng room at the
c. & G. Cooper works late Monday
afternoon Just after melt had been
taken off and was saved from death
by william Newman who pulled the
man out of the ladle before his flesh
was burned to any great extent.
Battles had been acting queerly
about the shop for several weeks
past and had been carrying Bible
to work and had been talking on re-
ligious subjects to the men In the
molding room. 1t was about 4:3O o.
clock Monday afternoon after melt
had been taken off that the man gave
leap and jumped into the ladle
There was still white metal in the
bottom of the kettle, but so quickly
was he pulled out by Newman that he
was not seriously burned. His cloth
ing was ablaze when he was pulled
out of the ladle, but this was soon ex
tlnguished with a bucket of water
The mans hands were badly burned
when he grabbed the ladle before
jumping inside.
Foreman Clifton questioned Bat
Ties after the affair and the man said
that the Lord told him to perform 9
miracle. Mr.. Clifton wanted no more
such miracles performed in the shoT
and accordingly called the police anC
Battles was locked up in the county
Jail.
II is probable that an affidavit ii

Make an act of contrition!" he
called, and he began the Absolution
In a fury Paul pushed up the win
dow again, and tried to hurl himself
against the priest, who was clinging
with all the strength of his two wrists
to the window sill.
Don't trouble, Paul. called Marcel
suddenly; he's dead, it's all right;
and with one accord the two assail-
ants fell apart. An evil light played
on PauPs face as he turned back, and
looked at the motionless figure on the
bed.
Was it all right with that soul, now
standing before the judgment seat of
God? Who can tell? For the mo-
ment the Freemasons had everything
their own way. A black coffin, COW
cred with black cloth, conveyed the
body of the schoolmaster to it's last
resting place; in the forefront went
the black flag, while the rear of the
procession was brought up by a half
dozen boys from the Masonic recrea-
ton club in the neighboring town.
In the village church the Cure. and
his little flock knelt absorbed in
prayer; occasionally an old woman
would heave a deep sigh as the beads
of her large black rosary slipped be-
tween her fingers; some were weep
ing, overweight by the strain of the
last twenty-four hours; but from the
lips and hearts of every man, woman
and child, fervent Our Fathers and
Hail Marys were being offered for the
poor Sustained soul. Who can say
whether the words of Absolution had
not found true sorrow in the heart of
the poor sinner? But where uncer-
tainty exists, there is always room for
earnest prayer, before the throne of
Him Who has said: 81 will have mercy
and not sacrifice"

he writes. And the school is never
out Of his mind because the passion
for souls is never out of his heart
And we know that he will get the
school. The money for the mere main.
tenance Of it amounts to almost q
thousand dollars year.
You, dear child of the Faith, proba
bly, belong to prosperous parish
God has not placed you on the plains
of Texas nor left you to the mercy Of
a spasmodic charity. He has given
you freely His gifts. You are reading
this plea for reason. There are
thousands of Catholics in this country
and in your very town and very parish
who have not read of this cause. But
God has placed it before your eyes
for a reason-and the reason is
that you may help His priest to build
a school down in neglected corner OF
His vineyard. You may not be able
to give much. Give what you can. A
little is much when given for the love
of God. Don't put of giving it until
tomorrow for by tomorrow your gen
erosity will content itself with less
than God has made you able to give.
