The many Clio friends of Rev. j. w.
Will, former pastor of the M. P.

Mr.. Will says: 81 have been unable to
sit down for four weeks and for the

except for short periods" He adds
the cheering intelligence, however,
that he is now recovering to some ex-

When the good Lord had finished his
browning work of making man, and by
progressively diminishing effort had
" fashioned all other living creatures
from the highest to the lowest, the
horse, dog, monkey, tadpole, flea. etc.,
ad infinitum, it appears he had lot of
mighty poor material left over, for
which he could find no good use. Re-
suits seem to indicate that the devil
came upon this stuff which he readily
saw was peculiarly fitted to his pur-
poses. So he went to work, and the
thing he produced was so supremely
successful, from his point of view, that
while it walked about on two legs like
the man which God had created in the
beginning, it had no honor, no soul and
would even stoop to stealing wood from
widow woman. All of which inclines
us to concede that the devil is bad
actor. but some artist, and knows how to
train his creatures for their future Job
