EXPERIMENTS

world cannot crowd the humble soul
away from him. Christ draws near
the man who draws near to him. Tn
the great crowd there was another
appeal for help; despised woman
with little faith touched the hem
of his garment, and Jesus gave heed
to her prayer: he was going about
doing good.
V. 35. while he yet spake,
they come from the house of the
ruler of the synagogue, saying, thy
daughter is dead; why trouble thou
the Teacher any further?" The
hardest blow words can give is the
announcement that a loved member
of the family is dead. We try to
use some other word. Next to this
blow is the one that questions the
love of God at such an hour, as seen
in the question asked in this verse.
V. SO. "But Jesus, not needing
the word spoken, saith unto the
ruler of the synagogue, Fear not,
only believe" Jesus stimulated
Jairus sinking faith with the words,
"Fear not, only believe''-words He
will speak to every troubled soul to-
day. Jesus proposes but one cure
for fear, namely faith. When faith
comes in fear goes out.
V. 81. "And he suffered no man
to follow with him, save Peter and
James, and John the brother of
James" Jesus had an inner cir
Gle; only few can come into the
sacred confines of our heart: these
we want with us when going
through Hfe's sorrows.
V. 38. Sand they come to the
house Of the ruler of the syna-
gogue; and he beholdeth a tumult,
and many wailing and weeping
greatly" There was here evidently
a show Of sorrow, possibly paid
mourners; this was all distasteful
to Christ.
V. 80. "And when he was enter
ed in, he saith unto them, why
make ye tumult and weep? The
child is not dead, but sleepeth."
The reason holds good for all our
friends who have fallen asleep in
Jesus; they are not dead, but sleep.
They may not wake quite as soon as
did Jairus' daughter, but wake they
surely shah, and it will not be long.
Thess. 4:-a6,17.
v. 40. 4sAnd they laughed him
10 scorn; but he having put them
all forth, taketh the father of the
child and her mother and them that
were with him, and goeth in where

% make sure to the public that his
work was genuine. |
V. Al. "And taking the child by
he hand, he saith unto her, Tafftna
.umi, which is being interpreted,

Tesus spake. To whom did he
peak? Evidently he addressed the
oul, the spirit of the girl, and she
leard him and obeyed his voice.

ID EHIND THESE WALLS" by
ID James r. Winning, is the most
terrible and shocking book of the
year.
The author recently finished serv-
ing term in a state penitentiary,
and in this book he tells what life
in that prison was like. And if one
tenth of his statements of fact are
true. that prison ought TO have a
house cleaning that would echo from
one end Of the cousStry to The other.
He shows us a prison that is an
tiquated, overcrowded, so insanitary
that an ordinary human would not
confine an animal in it.
He tells of tortureS that would
have made a Spanish inqUisitor en-
viouS. He tells of cold blooded muir
ders committed on defenseless con-
victS by prison guards.
He asserts fatty that the incredi-
BILE, sickening brutality which he de-
scribeS exists with the knowledge
and consent of the prison warden.
He doesn't name his prison. But
he does describe a fire which swept
one cell-block and killed 800 con-
victS-who, he says, could have been
saved if the authorities had been
halfway prompt in unlocking their
cellS-and it isn't hard to guess
what prison he is talking about.
l can not think of one reason why
the state involved can fail to hold
sweeping legislative investigation
into the charges made by Mr.. Win
ming.
The prison he describes is an OBJ
scene nightmare of a place; the
state must either disproye his in
dictment from beginning to end,
or act on it-and act draStically.

Cara and Hal went down in their

A waitress, wearing a black dress,
rather worn and in need Of pressing
stood by the table, pencil tapping
on her pad, waiting to take their
order.
Vance had completely forgotten
that they we're to have tea. He
exclaimed, OH see-what do you
want, Lida?"
The waitress shifted at this
drawled comment.
We'll, how about thin, dry toast
and guaya jelly?"
1--WE haven't any guava jelly" the
waitress put in YEARLY.
OH" Vance scanned the card
again, heavily hdded eyes moving
swiftly up and down. His emotional
starvation was taking from him any
ability to deal with foods.
All this was distasteful to Vance.
And yet-Lida was beside him, his
arm ever so lightly touching hers.
Vance set teeth on his lower lip.
A LITTLE later, the order was
L A given and the waitress, on
twisted high heels, made her way
toward the kitchen. Ida had de-
liberqtely asked for every variety of
tea that she knew she would not
find in the place, enjoying the wait
ress' discontinue.
Sorry it's such a loathesome
mess" Vance said as the waitress
returned and put the food down be-
fore them. Again the girl shifted,
plainly indicating her disapproval.

f1ng into the tea room with a string
bag full of purchases, including
tooth paste, hard water soap. a bag
of caramels, handkerchiefs for Jim

room, settled herself at a table and
looked around
She was glad she had come in,
although she knew she shouldn't
spend even the few pennies her re-
freshment would cost.
She was going to be short again
at the end of the month. And she
simply couldn't ask Aunt Ella to
help her out again. Aunt Ella had a
fixed idea that Bessie didn't man
age well.
She scanned the menu, then
looked across the room to see her
cousin, Ida Stafford, with that
Carter man.

tinued during the pastorate of Rev.
Martin. The church house is 34x38;
was built when they had good tim
Der and used it in buildings. The
house is rooted with slate. We
might as well tell it now and have
it over with-this house was and is
not only a sacred place to the few
aged ones who still remain; sacred
to the extent that they can hardly
bear the thought of having the
house sold, and removed; but
while it was built of good material,
the building is fast going down. At
this time it is thought best to sell
the building and put the money in
fund for the upkeep of the ceme--
terry.
The Kidds came from Ireland. AS
they are in the fifth generation in
the township, we conclude they
were among the pioneers of the
earlier years of the townships his
tory. Through the kindness of
Mrs. Wilds and daughter Easter
Cain, we have the following con-
corning the family: Joseph and
Tabitha Longwell, who came across
the pond were parents of three
sons-Peter, James and twin broth
er of Peter, who died when only two
or three days old. James and Eas-
ter .Counsil Kidd were the parents
Of the following children-Flora,
who married William Wilds; Ed
ward, Mary Trimble; John, Fanny
Ellis. John and Edward are de-
ceased. Mrs. Wilds resides in the
old home north of Unionville. Mrs.
Kidd before her marriage worked
out, for which she received her
clothes and 25 cents a week. She
saved her money, and after her
marriage bought their first cow for
$3.50. When they first moved to
the farm on the creek, they lived in
a log house; then built a frame
house which burned; and they built
the present structure on the same
foundation. James Kidd was a
farmer and carpenter. He helped
build fiat boats and made some
trips down to New Orleans with
-four from the old mill at Union
vile. Peter and his wife Mary
Ann were the parents of the follow
ing children: Clark, who married a
western lady: Joe, Josie Young:
Maggie, Morrison Fulton; Elizabeth
John A. Floyd; John, a western
lady; Robert, Mary Alexander; !;
Chames Wesley, Belle Lindimore; !;
Martha and Oscar, never married.
Peter owned the land across the
creek from Unionville, now owned
by John Clifford Duvall. We be
lieve we neglected to tell that James
and Peter were born on the old
Kidd farm south of the Salem
school house. Thus we find this
land was in the Kidd name for
more than 100 years, as James was
born in 1919, and it then descended
from Joseph to James and from him
to his son John who owned it at
time of his death, 1892; and while
not in the name at the present time,
it is in the name of Callie Kidd
