Everything that was humanity pos.

among them and see the wonderful
work of God engraved In the stalac-

Mrs. I. D. withers of Cave City

mounted the stump again.
1T Is a good thing Floyd Collins
was not brought to the surface" he
said. His face was drawn with
agony and suffering, and it is better
that we who knew him should remem-
ber hi mas he was. 1t had been his
wish that he be buried in a cave when
his time came, and only a few days
ago he had dream in which he saw
himself caught in one, and angel
hands reaching for. him. That dream
has come true.

years ago. but I understand he had
departed from the ways of righteous

and he waved an arm in the direction

The interest of all the world in
Floyd Collins shows to me that the
world Is getting better. Floyd found
hope and mercy in God when all hui

The whole nation is brought in sym
pathy and tears by his sad fate.
Worker Praised.
Before these services began Mr..
Carmichael asked me to mention the
heroism of Everett Maddox.
Maddox was one of the first to
try to bring Floyd out of the cave but
he was taken sick and had to leave.
But as soon as he got well he came
back, Mr.. Carmichael said:
""Tell everybody he came back,
just as all of us were almost ready
to quit, and he brought new spirit
into us ALL 1t is probable that a
monument to Everett Maddox, and TO
all the other heroic men who toiled
in the shaft to rescue Floyd Collins
will be erected on top of this cliff"
Worker Breaks Down.
Maddox had come from the shaft
only a short time before. and was
standing in the front row of the
assemblage. He sat down on the
ground when his name was mention
ed and wept. A woman handed him
handkerchief and he held 1t over
his eyes until the service was ended
