It is their interest to be good.
I did not meet Hinckley for several
years after u leaving college, and
then, c%uriously enough, it was at 4
meeting of the Salvation Army.

ever would have thought to run across
you in a place like this! Surely you
must have got rid Of your cynicism."
"Not at ALL" Hinckley replied.
"But what brings you here?"

Presently Captain Ida Sherwood
came upon the platform and began to
speak. 1t seemed to me that If l had
not seen her-had only listened to her
voice-I would have been convinced Of
her love for her work. But that heav-
emily face contrasting with the poke
bonnet which surrounded 1t, her ex-
preston and her accounts of her work
in rescutng the lost--it seemed to me
that an angel in woman's form had

worms till they were as thin as paper
strips, then cut them into thin slices.
When placed in water the tissues
swelled to their normal proportions,
and the pieces Of worm resumed their
life just as do those of any worm that
is cut up.
They took some threadworms, roti.
fers and microbes and dried them
thoroughly, kept them thus for eight
months, then locked them in an air
tight box from which all oxygen was
removed and through which a current
Of pure hydrogen flowed for two
weeks. Thus they not only dried,
but efectually deprived Of oxygen.
Yet on being moistened they "came to
life" again quickly. Strangest of all,
those that had been locked in the
hydrogen chamber revived in fifteen
minutes, while those. that had merely
been dried needed forty minutes.
