ing victory in the first skirmish.

Judge Smith and the State was
given a free hand to introduce what
ever evidence it saw fit.

Mrs. Cunningham with poisoning

DR.. Frank Hunter. Purdue Uni
versity chemist, testified he found
sufficient arsenic in the body of Wal
ter Cunningham to have caused his
death.

strange malady" that had taken
lives Of his brother and sister.
Cousin Testifies

Mrs. Cunningham, said she had seen
the three children on their death
beds and noted symptoms Of poison
in all three cases.

tears when Miss Gladys Ruben OF

Not Turned Aside

Probably they were as much as
anything incensed because of their
Judaistic prejudice because Paul and
Barnabas had turned to the Cen
tiles. But Paul and Barnabas were
determined in their course, and could
not be dissuaded by either opposi-
ton or criticism.
In fact. they justify from the
Jewish scriptures this beginning of
foreign missionary work. For they
quote Gods command: IT have set
thee for a light to the Gentiles, that
thou shouldst be for salvation unto
the utmost parts of the EARTH
Surely, there could have been no
better or larger foundation for world
religion than that.
The Gentiles to whom Paul and
Barnabas turned. responded eagerly.
The record is that they were glad
and glorif1ed the word of God"
In this opposition to Paul and
Barnabas there were, however, asso-

catholic name and processes adherence
and obedience to the Catholic faith, I"
the cardinals message said, should
thus join in the beginning OF the
congress.
If we succeed in doing this, we viii
accomplish what no people have ever
done before. We will have offered to
the eucharistic king u tribute such
as all the glory Of the paseantry. all
the splendor of the ritual. al the
eloquence of the many discourses, can
nor produce.
Who knows whether our unified

the years to come. for | know what
Is in the sovereign pontiffs mind, and

ne hopes to obtain by our gift of
