UNION SERVICE PLANNED
 FOR GOOD FRIDAY
Five Down Town Churches Have
 Joined in Movement.

The union service of five down-towr churches to be held in the Trinity Methodist church on Good Friday, on April 6. has been planned with a view sion of the day by following somewhat closely the actual course of the Cru cifixion.
 It appears from the gospel accounts that the preparations were completed and the Saviour nailed to the cross in the latter part of the forenoon. and that for little while He spoke some what freely with or concerning others about Him---the first three of the so- called Words from the Cross. Soon after, an unnatural darkness over spread the sky continuing from the sixth hour to the ninth" by the Ro- man reckoning of time. or from noon to three o'clock by. ours. During this Victims suffering was borne in silence, until, near the end, the four brief ex- clamations which make up the num- Der of the Seven Words were uttered in close succession, the last of them with the Speakers final breath.
 Corresponding with these events will be the continuous service from twelve to three. in seven parts cen portion will include a brief address by one of the ministers of the city, together with such Scripture, prayer, and song as shall best serve the devo- tlonal intent. The cnolrS or several of the cooperating churches will as- sist in turn.
 It should be specially noted that those who attend are entirely free to enter or leave the church at their con- venience. It is not expected that many will remain from beginning to end, but it is hoped that large number will avail themselves of the opportu- nity to come in for some portion of the service. as has been the case in other cities where the day has been similarly observed

ROMANTIC STORY
 DEVELOPED BY
 BANKRUPTCY CASE

Hot Springs, Nov. 16.-Bankruptcy proceedings here against T. A. Shamis have developed story of superb fillial affection or else a bunco game, as cruel as it is novel.
 Shamis is a Syrian by birth, but has taken out his naturalization pa pers. He is a merchant of Malvern, and the proceedings show that his as- sets are $3O,OO0 while his liabilities amount to $3S,OOO.
 At meeting of his attorney and creditors, the story goes that Shamis was visited lately by a man named John B. Corey, also Syrian and childhood friend of the Malvern mer- chant. Corey is said to have told Shamis that his father had died in Syr- ia of starvation and that unless re- lief was instantly dispatched to their home Shamis' mother and sisters would follow his father to the grave, victims of the same dead spectre of want and privation.
 Shamis was so affected by the tale and so overcome at the possibility of the fate awaiting his mother and sis ter that he at once realized some $8- 900 in cash, turned it oyer to his boy hood friend with instructions to de- liver it in person to the sufferers at home. t--e
 Corey took the money. He has not been heard from, but Shamis is certain that he is on his way to the little town in Syria faithful to his mis- sion. In the meantime, because of the sacrifice entailed in raising the cash Shamis' business became involved. Hence the failure bringing about the bankruptcy proceedings. Lawyers for the creditors are searching every port for the man Corey.
