It was mean of him not to tele-

After what seemed an interminable period
of time to Jason Gridley, the queer cavalcade
emerged from the gloomy forest Then he saw
the never moving sun shimmering upon a
bioad lake. AS they approached the American
beheld about its shores throngs of Horibs.
Meme of them seemed to display the slightest
interest in the prisoners brought into their
midst. Several of the warrior Horibs dragged
Jason and Thoar from their mounts.

With superhuman effort Jason sought to
tear himself free from the clutches of his cap
tor. The cold, clammy hands held him tightly.
One of them was suddenly clapped over his
mouth and nose and an instant later he felt
the warm waters Of the lake close about him
Still he struggled to free himself as the Horib
carried him swiftly beneath the surface, Pres
emily he felt Shiny mud beneath him along
which his body -gas dragged.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-12-18

They were led along the edge of the lake
toward slightly higher bank. Jason was hor-
rifed at the thing which happened next. The
Horib in charge Of Thoar suddenly clapped his
fishy hand tightly over his captive's nose and
thorat. Then he dove head foremost into the
water carrying his vicim with him. An in
slant later three other HoribS dove in and
three Korsars shared similar fate with Thoar.
Now Jason Gridley alone remained.

Jason's lungs cried out for air, his senses
reeled and for moment all went black before
his eyes. Then the hand was removed from his
mouth, and gasping for air, he realized he was
not drowned. Instead, he was lying upon a
bed of mud lnhalng air and not water. 1t
was black as night in the hole. He felt q
ciammy body scrape against his. and then an

splashing, gurgling water and then-utter

of the present day, how the traverse
the ocean and visit every port of the
world, yet they are guided into ports
of safety by the helm at the stem
which is the medium in which these
great ships are turned to either the
right or left, or go forward or
backward at the will of the man
who holds the wheel, and yet if the
rudder which is only a small part
of the ship should be set wrong it
would be the means of sending the
vessel against the rocks or stranded
on the seashOre. The tongue was
next spoken of. James says it is
little member, yet how often it is
used TO say those things which will
often ruin some innocent character.
Small things was the text and told
how often our Christian experience
is not what it should be by our CIV
ing way to the small things which
comes unto our life and retards our
Christian growth.
It was a splendid sermon.
The evening service was held as
usual. Mrs. Robert H. Swain, the
leader of the Epworth League, pre-
sented a very interesting program
and the address of the leader was
timely and to the point.
The sermon by the pastor was
based on Johns gospel, 14th chap !
ter and 23rd verse: eff a man love |
Me, he will keep My words; and MY
Father will love him and We will
come unto him and make Our abode
with him."
