Set Record in Funds

The largest amount ever raised

uted last year, according to the report

In 1912 the plan was TO be adopted to
raise 100000 for missions in four
years through this one source, but soon

to make the motto. 'One Million Dollars

In connection with her report. Mrs.
Plummer states that in the last three
years the Sabbath schools have con-
tributed S773, ,265.0l. The contribution OF
the Sabbath schools outside the United
States and Canada for the last quarter
Of 1914 Is not included in this amount
because of the fact that she has not

victim of the lightning, was standing
in front of the door leading to the
porch. Two lamps were burning
brightly.
There was crash, the lights were
extinguished, pictures and plaster torn
from the walls and then silence As
soon as Mr.. Kline recovered he lighted
a lamp. His wife was lying on the
floor in a faint. The boy had fallen
into her arms Without waiting to see
if either was alive, Mr.. Kline ran to
the nearest phone and called DR.. Web
ster Wade, of Boonsboro. The physi-
clan rushed to the home and Mrs. Kline
was soon revived. An examination of
the boy was made and it was found
that he had died instantly.
The bolt of lightning struck the end
of the house, followed the chimney and
thence to the window frames. From
the garret it took a direct downward
course through the second floor. The
bolt came from the closet in the room
where the family was sitting and
thence to the door where the victim
