POWER OF The GOSPEL

Another Good Audience ut Christian
Church Revival Hears Strong
Sermon Last Night.

Another fine audience came out last
evening to revival service at Christian
church. The size and character OF
these audiences evening after evening
are pretty good barometer Of the
spiritual and religious thought of our
community. At this age and time most
people read and think for themselves
and are not 30 dependent on the spok-
en- word as In earlier periods Of our
national life. The preacher of today
must bring message not only breath
Ing spirit of fellowship and love but
1t must be couched in such simple
phrase that it goes directly to the
human heart.
"The Power Of God Unto Salvation
was the subject for the sermon, and
the text found In Romans first chap
ter and sixteenth verse was devel-
oped in manner to catch and hold
the attention Of all present.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
rite of Christian baptism was admins
tered to six people who by this act
come into closer relationship with
divine purposes.
Good music is splendid part of all
these meetings. Every one welcome

STUDENT TEACHERS
May HAVE CHANCE
TO TAKE WORK HERE
Extension Department Of Normal
Schools May Provide for Super.
intendent Caplinger to Conduct
Normal Class Here.

Mr.. William Coates, of the Exten-
sion department OF the Eastern Ken
lucky Normal School. was in Mays
vile yesterday making arrangen ents
under the recent provision for home
work, to conduct here during the sum-
mer months special course in Nor
NAL work which will enable prospec-
tive teachers to qualify under the new
law which makes 1t necessary for all
state teachers to have some high
school work.
1t has been necessary in the past for
those who desired to prepare them
selves for teaching to take special
course at the state Normal schools or
to take a correspondence course,
which it seems has not proven entire
ly satisfactory.
If proper arrangements can be made
Mr. Coates would have Superintendent
W. ]. Caplinger, Of the Maysville City
Schools, supervise or conduct course
in Maysville which will enable all
those who desire to become teachers
to qualify themselves after they have
had certain amount of class room
work.
II such a plan is worked out here 1t
Is thought that there will be many
more who will endeavor to qualify for
the teaching profession.

HOUSEKEEpER DEAD
PROBABLY A day Be.
fore DISCOVERED
Mrs. Lou Case HOusekeper For DR.. A.
N. Ellis at Aberdeen Is Found
Dead On the Kitchen Floor
Wednesday Afternoon.

Mrs. Lou Case, aged about 65 years,
sister-in-law Of DR.. A. N. Ellis, Of Abb
erdeen, and his housekeeper was
found dead In the kitchen Of the Ellis
home Wednesday afternoon. 1t is
thought that she had been dead more
than twenty-four hours when found.
Physicians say her death was due to
natural causes.
On last Monday DR.. Ellis left for
Kansas to visit q brother, leaving Mrs.
Case at the Ellis home by herself.
When he left Mrs. Case was in her
usual good health. On Tuesday after
noon Miss Myrta Sutton, a relative,
went to the Ellis home to call on Mrs.
Case and found the front door of the
home locked. She knocked several
times but received no answer. Think
ing that Mrs. Case was probably not
at home, she left without further in
vestigation.
Yesterday afternoon special deliv-
cry letter came to Mrs. Case and the
Aberdeen postmaster went to the Ell
lis home to deliver the letter and
could not gain an entrance nor were
his alarms answered. Thinking that
Mrs. Case might probably be at the
home of Mr.. D. A. Ellis, the postmas-
ter went there. The failure Of the
postmaster to summon Mrs. Case
alarmed Miss Sutton who went again
to the DR.. Ellis home and again she
found the front door locked. She went
to the kitchen this time and finding
the kitchen door unlocked she entered
and found the aged housekeeper lying
PROSTATE upon the floor dead. Heart
trouble Is given as the probable cause
of the sudden death and it is thought
that Mrs. Case died sometime Tuesday
afternoon She had been washing
clothes In the kitchen and had fallen
near the wash tub.

LOSES A
SEAT IN CONGRESS
BY REDISTRICTING
After Much Wrangllng House Late
Last Night Places Limit Of
Membership For Ten
Years at 1876.

washington, jan, 20. - At the end
OF the most turbulent session of the
present Congress the House late last
night adopted the reapportionment
bill with an amendment limiting its
membership for the next ten years TO
the present total of 4S5.
The fight to prevent increase to 4SS
was won several hours earlier, how
yer, when the House, sitting in COM
mittee of the whole, refused to post
pone consideration of the whole ques-
ton of redistricting, and then voted,
l9S to n, to keep the present maxi
mum. 1t was after long parliamentary
wrangling that the bill was brought
before the House itself for a final
show down. The 435 amendment fin
ally was agreed to by vote of 267 to
76, and the measure made ready for
Senate concurrence.
Right at the start the effort was
made literally to knock the bill In the
head by striking out the enacting
clause. 1t started a veritable row.
during which the House got its feet
tangled in parliamentary proceeding,
from which it was lifted back into an
orderly run with difficulty.
Another wrangle developed over an
amendment by Representative Bar
bour to perfect the bill by providing
the machinery for redistricting in the
eleven states which will lose seats
after March 4, 1928. The Barbour plan
and many substitutes finally were de-
feated, and several states will be left
to work out the problem in accordance
with long established custom and law.
As the bill stands the states which
Will lose representation I'm the House
are Missouri, two seats, and Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine. Mississippi, Nebraska Rhode
Island and Vermont, one each. There
twelve seats will be shifted to eight
states in this order. California three,
Michigan two, Ohio two, and Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Texas and Washington, one each.
