But perhaps he counted too much on

He hated the great beauty of the

he almost hated their smiles and their

How deeply he loved Lillian. She

PARTISAN ENDS LIFE
so WIFE COULD LIVE
Pathetic story Of Retired Couple,
Who Fought Against Pow
eFty, Is Revealed.

For years n. Petitcolan, retired
clerk, slxty-two years Dld, and his wife
had been trying to live on their meager
savings In n room In the Rue st,
Medard, which Is in one Of the poorer
residential districts bf Paris. They
had hardly enough tp eat, but being
too proud to let their condition be-
come known they struggled on. Then
came the war and the rise in the cost
Of living, which for them meant only
one thing starvation,
The husband denied himself almost
everything that his wife might have q
little more food, but even this sacri-
flce could not provide enough to keep
her normal. Gradually her mind be-
came unbalanced. Apparently he did
not know this or perhps his mind be-
came affected too. At any rate he
thought he could hsp her by doing
away entirely with tHe of the mouths
that had to be fed. 81 while she looked
on. ne tied a ropeItp a hook In the
ceiling and hanged limself. For three
days she continued to live there with
the body. Then Fuidenly she ran
screaming into the xfeet. The police
came. The woman was taken to an
asylum.

cause it has not come. God never
meant for us to sit idly by and see
new world made. He meant to give
us the opportunity to make a new
world, and He is giving it to us.
There was never a greater opportun-
ity to shape the world Alright than
there is today and there was never
greater danger of allowing it to go
to the bad. 1t means a new day,
or eternal night and blight to a
large portion of the worlds inhabi-
tants. The world is calling for help.
Whose voice shall it hear? The
voice of its Lord or the Son of God,
or the voice of lust, loot and lies !?
Our paths may often lie amid rocks
and crags, and not on lawns and a.
mong lilies, but let us ever remember
roses crushed are sweeter."
Jesus is saying to us today as he
did to Peter II will give unto you
the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven
and what ever We shall bind ON earth
shall be bound in Heaven, and what
soever ye shall loose on earth shall
be loosed in Heaven" Ours is the
opportunity to turn night into day.
Let us make day for those who sit
in darkness and the shadow of death.
l cannot close this paper without
mentioning the fact that 1t was no
accident, but the providence of God,
that in this great world crisis the
hearts of Gods people were moved to
launch the great rs Million Cam
paign. 1t was to meet a situation
like this, and to supply need like
this, that God moved upon our
nearts. Therefore we hope to send
out men and women from our Sun
day Schools who will measure up to
our present opportunity. So God can
trust us at time like this, and the
world can depend upon us. We hope
TO accomplish much through our
work in the Sunday Schools, and so
live and teach that in the evening
Of life the golden clouds rest sweet
ly and invitingly upon the golden
mountains, and the light of Heaven
streams down through the gathering
nists of death, we may have a peace
ful and joyous entrance into that
world of blessedness and there we
shall rest from our labors.

What We Expect to Accomplish
Through the Sunday School
At Big Springs.

(Paper by Mrs. Henderson Smith
read at Sunday School Convention at
Big Springs on May 29th, 1921 }
We hope to accomplish through
the Sunday School many things for
God. We hope to inculeate in the
mind and life of the youth of this
community the truths as taught in
the Bible concerning God and His
will toward us, and our duty toward
Him. We confidently hope and trust
through our efforts here there shall
be kindled burning desire for the
lost in the hearts Of our boys and
girls. We hope to SO instruct and
train the young manhood and the
young womanhood of the Sunday
Schools SO they will become great
agencies under God, and through the
leadership of the Holy Spirit in bear
ing the message of the risen Lord
to a lost world.
We realize that great destinies lie
shrouded in the swiftly passing
hours; great responsibilities stand in
the passage of everyday life; great
dangers lie hidden in the by-paths
of each life. We hope to live and
teach so we can safeguard the youth
in our midst; that they may not
be thrown upon the breakers that lie
so thickly along the current of the
age in which we live.
The worlds condition today is
fraught with opportunities and with
dangers. These two things-oppor-
tunity for great blessings and dan
ger of incaleulable loss are confront
ing us today. Forces are in oper-
alton that have laid hidden and DOR
mant for ages. The crime wave is
only one wave of the great ocean OF
today. Social, industrial, political,
demoniac and religious forces are at
grips every day. One crisis sue
ceeds another, and people are won
dering what the outcome of each day
shall be. What shall our answer be ]? |
1t will be the one or the other ac-
cording to the way we meet our
present world opportunity.
During the World War it. was said |
that we were going to have a new
world; some are disappointed be-
