RELIGION AND LIFE
BY
Rev. A. II. Rapking

The other day Mr.. Charles Blake,
county agent and Miss Martha Bo-
mar, home demonstration agent, and
/ made atrip up the Buckhannon
river to Indian Camp, for commun-
ity meeting. Indian Camp received
its name because in the center of the
community there is a large over
hanging rock which used to shelter
the Indians while they inhabited
this section. For six years ! have
been going up the Buckhannon river
from three to eight times year, al
ways riding along the stream on the
train, watching the water tumbfng
down over the rocks or gliding along
calmly.
It has been a great inspiration to
me. The rhododenron, the syca-
mores, the chestnuts, the beech, oaks
and many other kinds of trees in the
fields and forests reflected in the
clear mountain water furnish food
for thought and meditation. Es-
pecially the rocks piled up or extend
ing out of the hills, hurl questions
at me something like this: How
long have we been here? What was
the condition of this country when
we were formed? Why are here? ?
How are we affecting the life of the
people?"
The forty-fve minutes on the train
seemed only very few as these and
other questions came dashing IN
through the windows. We stepped
off the train and started to climb up
the steep hillside covered with about
three inches of snow. Having as
cended about five hundred feet we
paused to view the majestic scenery.
There the Buckhannon river, which,
in my imagination, trid to follow to
its source far Up in the mountains
and on to it's destination in the ocean,
Then. too, | wondered if ever again
some of the water dashing over the
rocks would return to the hills q
Upshur county by way of the clouds.
While thus wondering, moved by
what my eyes beheld, miner
brought load Of coal out Of the side
of the hill nearby. This coal was to

DEMPSEY WILL HAVE TO HIT DELANEY ONLY ONCE
Gene Tunncy Says Former Heavy weight Champion Will Kayo Light
 HeaN weight King.

Newark x. J.. Dec. IS GP - All Jack Dempsey has to do IS to hit Jack Delaney once, if the former heavyweight champion and the pres ont light heavyweight titlcholder ever meet in the ring. and Delaney
 will be ready for addition to the
 Manassa Mauler's knockout list, Gene Tunney believes.
 Dempsey would hit him once and
 T wonder if Delaney's press agent ever read the list of knockout com-
 piled by that fellow Dempsey" Tunney asked. Boy and man. that Dempsey can hit"
 Tunnev told the Newark Evening News that he would drop Dempsey if they ever fought again.
 "Dempsey never had the sturdy jaws he was credited with" said Tunney. Jack can hit if he gets to you. He did not get to Tommy Gibbons and he did not get to me. , But a man with q punch who gets to Jack right can knock him down. If l ever get in the ring with him again believe I'll prove that theory"
 The heavyweight champion said he would certainly beat Delaney if they were ever matched. The Bridgeport Conn, warrior had been reported on the trail of a Dempsey match as a step deeper into the heavyweight ranks if he should overcome Bud German. Wisconsin heavyweight. in their Christmas fund battle in Jer- sey City Monday night.

Speaking of Sports
The action of Chief William

The action of Chief William c. Hart of the police department in stopping the bout between Youse- man and Zotter at the state armory last night, deserves nothing but commendation. The flight had been won by the New Britain boy in three rounds despite unfair tactics of Youseman. The Hartford battler continually hit on the breaks al- though Zotter was coming out of the clinches with his arms wide open but Youseman was hitting, holding and putting. Just why Ref cree Portell didn't disqualify him, is a mystery.
