Ball has been confined in Jail, repre-
scented himself to Burgess mother - q
school friend Of Burgess and when he
learned Burgess was not there, asked
where he was. The woman said Bur-

brother Of Owen Ball and a schoolmate
OF Burgess, was instrumental in the
arrest of Burgess After a talk with
his brother in jail here. he went on a
hunt for Burgess and not until Mon
day did he locate Burgess. Ball in tell
ing of his experiences In his effort to
free his brother said:
II was working at Atlantic when
learned owen had been arrested on a
charge uf robbery. 7 came to Fort
Dodge and my brother told me to get
a line on Burgess. I heard Burgess was
in Ames. I went to Marshalltown
where Burgess and / lived formerly
and where we had gone to school to-
gether and were boyhood chums. Then
took a trip to Ames. learned Moth
ing Of Burgess there, SO returned to
the home Of my parents. Later made
a trip to Des Moines and went to the
old haunts of Burgess, but could not
get line on him. Returning to Mar
shalltown, I learned where Burgess
mother was living, at Orchard, Iowa,
and decided to go there. However,
ran out of funds and had to go to work
for time. until I had money enough
to continue my hunt for Burgess.
"'After few weeks, I started out
for Burgess once more. saw his
brother in Marshalltown, who told me
he was still at Orchard. Then tele-
graphed to E. e. Heelan, M. & st. L..
special agent at Minneapolis that i
had located Burgess. He wired me to
meet him at Usage, Iowa. This did,
Tuesday of this week. We drove four
teen miles to Orchard. There was Mr.
Heelan, Sheriff William Holm Of Web

myself. To Burgess mother l repre-
sented myself as q schoolmate of Ray
mond Burgess, and she told me he was
getting mail under the name Of George
Wiley at Albert Lea. We drave back
to Usage and then took a train for
Albert Lea, where we found Burgess on
a farm two miles south Of that town.
AS soon as we got him to the sheriff
office at Albert Lea, Burgess confessed
and said he wanted to clear my
brother.

Mr. Norton, who is in charge of
the force of prsonal workers in the
Chapman Alexander meetings nov
in progress in Atlanta, addressed a
conference of Personal Workers on
Friday of last week at tn ely. M. c..
A. building, in which he made some
interesting statements One is that
Mr.. Huyler, the celebrated manufac-
turer of fine candy, who has been
giving to religious purposes a thou
sand dollars a day during the past
four years, counts it his greatest Joy
to do personal work for souls. He
has been frequently found in the
missions in the slums of the great
city, talking tenderly and encourag-
ingly to the men who are down and
out, seeking to lead them to Christ.
He said that the manufactures of
Quaker oats has given during the
last ten years 100000 a year to
the Moody Bible School in Chicago,
and that this great business man
and large giver is also active in per-
sonal work for the salvation of
souls. Mr.. Norton pointed out in
his talk that out of forty miracles
of healing performed by Jesus, thir-
ty six of those healed were brought
to Jesus by some one else. This IS
surely a forcible illustration of the
Importance of seeking 10 bring peo-

POINTS OF VIEW.

1t has been told that a group of
ministers were discussing methods
of bringing people to church when
Rev. Phillips Brooks strolled up and
replied to their question: at seems
to me the churches are always we'll
filled when l am in the pulpit
This anecdote came to memory
Wednesday evening when Dean At
kinson, of st. Phillips Cathedral,
was speaking so earnestly at ST.
James from. the text: Il am the
Good Shepherd.
The Dean looks like Phillips
Brooks, and he may be as eloquent
and as consecrated, but we do not
approve some of his recent opinions
published in the Atlanta papers.
AT the same time it was positively
notifying to see how the congrega-
tion Jagged upon the back seats
Time has been when modesty pre-
vented people from seeking the best
seats in the synagogue but if l were
a preacher | would not allow an ex-
panse of vacant pews to intervene
between me and my audience.
would not feel that my relations
with my hearers were sufficiently
cordial to inspire the best preach
ing.
The nearer you get to a speaker
the better you can understand him,
the fewer distractions come between
you, and the more he feels you ap-
preciate his message Especially
when visiting minister is in the
pulpit remember to make him feel
welcome by sitting as close to him
as you can get.
Speaking of ministers reminds me
of the recent sermon at the Metho-
dist church by Bishop Gambler in
which he declared the South is the
section of our great country in
which the "old time religion" is most
alive and that we owe it to the
world to found colleges in which
true christianity will be taught.
This is not pharisaism but patriot
ism.
Col. Roosevelt told this at lun-
cheon:
"Old John Wesley gave in the pull
pit once the best example of pa
triOtism in the world:
1--WE English are great sinners,
John Wesley said. We are misera-
BILE worms. We have abused all our
blessings, and a dreadful punishment
awaits us for our innumerable mis-
deeds. But, -
And here John Wesley hit the
reading desk a humping blow with
his fist.
We are the best people in the
world for all that he shouted"
A. l.. c.
