Escaping from total darkness and ig- ,

chains of mortal sense.
These l struggle against with my
own puny mortal strength, hopeless

Then behold the Truth-that all
power is in God and that truth
breaks off my manacles.
Then 1 say, But I have prison filth

and Unspotted, for my real self was

When we have vital, expressive
motion by every member in the con-
gregation instead of so much doleful
singing, the churches will be crowd

have to be built. There is no author

to voice. The vocal chords are no
more sacred than any other part of
the body. My whole body is tenn

of it is needed to worship Him.

makes every worshiper an active
participant in the church services.
No sooner did the story reach the
ears of the public than a storm of
criticism burst about my head. There
seems to be a general misunder-
standing in regard to dancing choirs
and sermons interpreted through the
dance.
How many of you know that all of
the early Christian churches had
their dancing choirs and that the
chanting, the swinging of the in
cense pots, the methodical move
ment of the altar boys and the clergy
of the very high churches today are
but a remnant of the time when God
was praised through rhythmic move
ment of the wOTshipers?
Prelate comes from the Latin prae
lato Ito bear oneself before), so
named because the early prelate was
the premier danseur of the church
dancing choir.
The dancing service stayed in the
Christian church until the asceticism
of the middle or dark ages, when
everything Of physical beauty or
pleasure was condemned.
At this time pleasure became a
crime. All nude statues belonging
to the church were mutilated or
adorned with fig leaves. All Chris
tian church with the exception of
the Seville cathedral abolished the
dancing choir.
Rhythmic movement would awak-
en- a spirit of expressive worship in
congregations and would draw them
into the service as active partici-
pants, when now they are merely
spectators, stodgy and bored.
By dancing 1 do not mean ballet,
ballroom or. theatrical, but a form of
reverent, suitable movements to ex-
press all of the subtle relations be-
tween man and maker.

She was handsomely attired in white

a great many relatives in this sec

ming and instantly killed about $50
O'Clock Monday afternoon on the
Letcher Weathers farm, near Clin-
tonville. Mr.. Beasley, in company
with his father, Mason Beasley, and
several others had been working in
a tobacco field on Mr.. Weather's
place. Seeing that a storm was ap-
preaching they sought shelter in a
tobacco barn near by.
Hardly had they reached the barn
when the storm broke. Mr.. Beasley
and his father were standing in the
door, the others having gone to the
rear of the barn. Mr.. Beasley and his
father were commenting on the
storm and the former asked if it
would be safe there in case of light
ming. The words were hardly said
before a bolt OF lightning struck the
door of the barn, killing Mr.. Beas-
ley instantly and severely shocking
his father.
The crystal on his watch was melt
ed and the works were torn to pieces
but there was no mark of any kind
on his body. The barn was only
slightly damaged. Mr.. Beasley is
survived by his father, three sisters

KILLED BY
LIGHTNING
Green Tucker, Colored Meets Sudden
Death While Taking Shelter from
Storm in Mat Myers Barn.

Lightning, which has been playing
havoc with barns, buildings and
other property in Lincoln and ad-
joining counties for the past week
or SO, took it's toll of human life
here about thnee o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. Green Tucker, colored,
who was working for Mat Myers on
the w. H. Shanks farm, on the
Somerset pike, two miles south of
Stanford, was struck by bolt of
lightning and instantly killed. Mr..
Myers and, eight other men were
standing within few feet of Tuck
er when he was killed. Several were
severely shocked. All had most mi
raculous escapes from death.
Mr.. Myers and his hands, includ-
ing Tucker, took refuge in the large
barn, when the severe thunder, light
ming and raiE storm swept over this
section about three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. The men were standing
about in the center of the structure
in which they had sought refuge.
They felt that there was much less
danger there than close to door.
Witnesses of the fatality say that
Tucker was standing a little off to
himself, with his hands in his pock-
cts when a binding flash came. It
struck the barn, and ball of white
like fire descended, seemed to run
along the main supporting beam of
the barn roof, and to drop right on
Tucker. Mr.. Myers was looking at
it and saw it strike the unfortunate
negro.
''It struck Tucker with what SEEM
ed terrific force" said Mr.. Myers, in
describing the accident, "and lifted
him off bis feet, several feet above
the ground. He fell backward with
out a sound. The flash was dazzling
and blinded US all. When we got to
Tucker he was dead. I felt his pulse
and there was none. Tom Mobley
GRABBED bucket OF water anu Threw
it on his face, thinking he was only
stunned, perhaps, but when l felt for
his pulse / saw he was stone dead.
The boys picked up his body and laid
it on trough and sort of electricity
seemed to play over the body for
several seconds afterward. Ham Ad-
ans and Tom Tapp were severely
shocked. Two hogs, one on each side
of Tucker were killed also"
Mr.. Myers said that very little
damage was done to the barn, the
bolt of lightning seeming to enter
through the opening or areaway and
to run along the main beam before
it dropped to the ground, striking
Tucker, as it did so.
Tucker was a hard working ne
gro, respected and liked by all who
knew him. He lived near Bonneville
and his remains were taken home to
his wife and large family after it
was seen there was no chance to re-
suscitate him.

will be put at hard labor.
