BAPTISM BRINGS
HER HOPE OF LIFE

Miss Mamie Ashley, daughter oil
Joe G. Ashley, who lives near Shallow
Ford, IA short distance from here, has
medical science hHllled. She returned
recently from sanatorum where she
underwent treatment for tuberculosis
in an improved condition. Last SUR
day she was feeling unusually well,
and after eating n hearty supper, she
was resting on the porch. She was
found few minutes later by an uncle,
speechless and apparently dying. BY
the time the physician arrived, life
seemed almost extinct.
Monday she rallied slightly and
made signs she wished to write. A
pencil was given her, and she wrote
that she wished to be baptized. A
messenger was sent for Rev. $. b.
Vaught, pastor of the Methodist
church here, although it seemed i'm
posi- BILE for her to live until he could
get to the home. When he arrived
with the expectation of baptizing her
in the Methodist faith, she arosefrom
her bed, walked unassisted to the creek
fifty yards away, and requested Rev.
Mr.. Vaught, i'll her usual voice, to
immerse her in the creek, which he
did. Since that time she has been in
full possession of all her faculties,
although considered very i'll, and is
thought to be improving A bingdon

the report is persistent and is creating

Must Undo the crueifixion.
From the London Chronicle

q. Bernard Shaw informed a crowded
congregation at the City Temple re-
Gently that Christianity came to an end
with the cruifixion.
Tor that reason Christian Econo-
rnics,' the subject OF his lecture, did
not concern them unless they had made
up their mind to reintroduce Christian
tty into the world and into this country.
Al present all our institutions were
deliberately organized for the proven
tton OF Christianity. Was it worth
while TO undo the crucifxion, to take
MP the tradition Of Christianity again
and see what we could do with it?
II we did. he recognized three main
things 90 which we should stand COM
mitted as Christians. We should have
90 give up revenge and punishment
completely and entirely; we should
hive to scrap the entire judicial and
criminal system. We should have to
stop putting people in prison, we
should have to stop scolding and COM
planning and writing to the Times.
Then we should have to take, in a
pcnse, no thought for the morrow
which would necessitate communism.
And last, v-e should have to adopt the
doctrine which was called the imma-
nence OF God, and believe that there
was a divine spark In man.
But the only one of those doctrinef
which touched Christian economics, res
marked Mr.. Shaw. was that we should
take no thought for the morrow. The
weak point in communism was that II
Aid not give the consumer any control
over production. Therefore everybody
must have an income, and naturally
everybody must have an exactly equal
income. What we had at present was
not a distribution Of income, but abso-
lutte plumber. And IN a Christian state,
when a man was regarded as a. bit OF
God. ana his value was infinite, we
could not buy him and sell him as we
