Antioch After II

years ago, when he was a young stu
dent at Mercer working his way
through college 10 become u min

revival service. This series viii be-
gin shortly.
The church at Antioch then had
been closed for one year, and during
that time had been without a pastor
a Service, a Sunday school, or organ
lied religious influence. A number
of the good people of the communi-
~, hearing of the young minister's
eaInestness, requested his presence
among them in the hope that gen
uine revival would result.
After holding the series Of sery-
ices for five days, Is persons became
converted and united with the church.
From the revival the interest was
awakened among the members, old
and new. and the new and better
Antioch rose, until today it has a
membership Of rs, with services held
IN the church monthly with Sunday
scGQol each Sunday morning and
niaemeek prayer services as a supple
mem.
Tie church in which DR.. Minor
preached was burned several years
,agos and in its stead a new and mod
%e1n Building has been erected as a
monument to the untiring efforts of
a united religious people who are
proud Of their achievements.

church at Antioch, viii assist DR..

Before Suspicion Were Aroused

Decatur, Mich.-Enraged by what
she believed to be the cooling love of

widow, set fire five times in one day

by Sheriff Barker and is being held
in the county jail at Paw Paw, on a
charge of arson.
Infatuation for Roy Steele, grand
son of the man who employed her as
housekeeper, is believed by the sheriff
and his deputies to have induced Mrs.
Graham to start the fires in the house
as fast as the village fire fighters
could extinguish them. She kindled

ducing his grandfather to accept the
young woman as his housekeeper.
Thereafter, Steele frequently visited
her.
1t was at this juncture that the
young mans mother arrived from De-

believed that he was losing interest

that she might recover the place in
the sons heart from which she had

The first blaze was considered an
accident and the second and third

however, excited suspicion and the
fifth led to an investigation which re-

"What'S in q Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; Its history; mean
ing; whence IL was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
MARIE

MARIE is perhaps the most preva-
1VI lent feminine name known to
etymologists. Its synonym, Mary, has
almost equal vogue, and Maria, its
other equivalent, is enormously popu-
lar. But though Marie is originally the
French version of the name of the
Blessed Virgin, all countries have
adopted her and called her their own.
Originally, Of course, the Hebrew word
marah meaning bitter, is the root
from which all derivatives Of Mary
are evolved.
Quite early in history, it became
customary to give the name Of Marie
to girls, adding a middle name to
qualify the attributes of the first Mary.
the Blessed Virgin herself. In this
way, several daughters of a family
could be called by the name of Marie
or Maria and yet they could be dis
tinguished by their second appellation.
The earliest of these names was that
of Maria AnnunZiata, very popular In
Spain, and later changed to Maria An
nOnciada. In France, one of the most
popular feminine names was Marie
Annonciade; another was Marie AS
sunta. France also had Marie des
Anges Marie of the angels) and in
Spain, the votaress Of the merciful

gin) is Maria de Mercedes.

other examples of the popular trend
which helped to spread the name Of
Marie. Many young ladies in Spain

cepcion, but In Italy, this Is contracted
to the one word COncetta. England
and America use Marie alone and also
favor Molly, the diminutive and en-
dearment. Indeed, In England, Molly
Is frequently given in baptism as
proper name with no reference to its
more dignified parent.
