Hlnt Family Troubles.

It was said that the husband of Mrs.
Merkins was suing for divorce and
that brooding over this and other fam
lily troubles had led the woman to take
the drastic step. Mrs. Merkins has
been in i'll health for some time which
had also its effect on attempted suicide.
Doctors who attended the woman de-
clared that if the woman had not been
given immediate medical attention that
her attempt to take her life would not
have been in vain. The quantity of
chloroform that she had taken was
large and would have had quick effect.
May Reunite Family.
The dependency of the woman over
her family troubles together with her
attempted suicide has almost persuaded
her husband that the best thing TOY do
is to resume their married state and
try to live happily, it was said this
morning.
Court officials stated that everything
that could be done to effect reconcil-
iation would be done and that in the
opinion of the court the best way out
Of the case was a reconciliation.

CALLS RELIGION
LIFE ESSENTIAL
KenOsha Anglicans Hear
Bishop Johnson Speak
at Racine College.
'FAVORS DISARMAMENT

"The average successful business
man at the end of his life is about as
gloomy as the back end of a hearse,"
declared Bishop Johnson of Colorado
at the Conference for church workers
of the Episcopal Church at Racine Col
lege Friday. A large number of Ke-
noshans were in attendance at the
service which proved one of the most
profitable sessions of the conclave.
"And you know how CHEEKY and
happy our pious old people are"
the Bishop continued. Judge religion
by its effect on the lives of people who
have lived a religious life, and you
will see that religion brings peace and
contentment in old age"
Why Laugh in Church.
"Why do you want to laugh out
loud in church at any out-of- the-way
occurrence? And yet you never feel
like cracking a smile in the cold
gloomy interior of modern bank
building!
even the bank buildings themselves
remind you of some ancient tomb and
yet people say they do not like to
go to church because churches are
such gloomy places.
Churches are the cheeriest places
we have in the community and you
will find the happiest people in the
churches if you go with a smile on
your face.
people who quit going to church
because Of some fancied slight by
members of the church or because
they do not like certain things about
bouffe,'" said the bishop. "Their
religion is joke, and instead Of
needing a minister they need nurse
to look after them - they are child
ish. Instead of being soldiers of Jesus
Christ enlisted in His army until their
life's end, they are mere babies"
An OutspOken Bishop.
Bishop Johnson is known as one Of
the most out-spoken Of the several
hundred bishops of the Episcopal
Church in the United States and as
the editor-in-chief of "The Witness"
national Episcopal weekly, writing
characteristic editorials every week,
his influence is far reaching.
During the Racine conference which
opened Tuesday and will continue IN
til next Thursday, Bishop Johnson
will deliver course of lectures on
"The Development of the Church of
England" and a series of 'Plain Talks
on Life and Religion for Young Peo-
ple."
