And just take one more ride."

When the, good brethren of Secona
church learned that I wanted to move
to Pickens they sent wagons enough
to move all I had in one day. After
three weeks I begin to feel at home.
I have served Secona churcli for one
var and I have found them very kind
i to their pastor. I feel that
heil midst I can become
nted with them alnd be
ire good thereby.
r ago I heard a wagon
und in the back yard.
I got out to :ee what

TAKEN FROM RUINS
LITTLE CHURCH THROWN OPEN
AND USED AS FIRST AID
STATION.
Graphic Description of the Pitiful
Scene of Mangled Dead and Living
Is Given by Eye WItnes*.
Washington.-Recovered from the
wreck and horror of the ruined Knick
erbockor theater, a pitiful stream of
uangled bodies, dead and living, flow.
d all Saturday night and Sunday into
,ie lower rooms of a Christian Sct
mce church a few hundred yards
away. At the first word of the disas
er, the place was thrown open to
hose stricken folk and the hundreds
)f others who came to search for their
lead or injured.
And as the full weight of the losses
became known, the dead monopolized
the space, crowding the injured in the
ill-too-small rooms.
It was merely a first aid station for
those taken crushed, but alive from
the wreckage. They were carried on
stretchers over the slippery pavement
with lines of soldiers keeping the
:rowd far back.
Doctors and nurses and women
)ager to bring their sympathy and
sheer to the suffering or bereaved
nvaited in the church. They tenderly
washed away the giay dust of the
,rumpled concrete, the grime and
caked Jtloud, blackened sometimes by
hours df waiting pinned under the de
bris until thesrescuers cut the victim
loose. ' Bandages were applied and
the injured. wer'; whisked away to
hospital or home.
But the dead lay long in double
rows in which they stretched across
the floor, lay until t tearful relative or
friend, a husband or wife or father ot
mother, recognized the crushed form
at last. 'Up and down these aisles of
the dead walked those whose fearf
had drawn them here because of som
one missing In the family circle.
Women already weeping in car
tainty of what they must find sooner
or later beneath the kindly blanket
that shielded the sleepers made the
journey of sorrow many times befor
they found what they sought.
Alen with working faces leaned t<
draw back the coverings and them
gasped with short lived reliof as the
moved on to the next huddled form.
Some of these seekers came witl
the dirt and grime of the wreckag
upon them still. Some had passe
through the crash of roof and balcon
only to leave a dear one dead in th
tangled mass.
They had worked hours with th
rescuers to l'nd that one, only to re
turn now and then for a hurried tril
to the chamber of death.
Eleven Husbards and Wives.
Eleven times death struck dowi
husband and wife, side by side. The:
died as they had sat to see the swif
picturing of the film.
lut many other times it was onl:
the wife or husband wvho perishe<
and the survivor must miake the ter
rlblo pilgrimage of recognition in th<
grim chamber of the dead.
The times wvhen children were taker
wore sparingly few.
Usually the big theater has been ir
its earlier hours of a Satuirday nighl
the gathering place of a host of young
sters wvho come with their parents fo
the weoek's amusement. But the
storm that wrecked the Knickerb~ocke
kept most of the little folk at hem'
that night.
Up the long path, trodden througl
heavy snow, ihat ran from the in
promptui morgue to the Knickerbocket
struggled the stretcher squads, arm;
and navy men chiefly. Commissione<
ofticers of the military services hell
the doors of the church entrance, ani
with exquisite gentleness and sympn
they sifted out those w~ho sought thel
d -ad from others dIrawn by morbi
curiosity.
Above all there was quietness at th
church in spite of the urgent au
never' ceasing activity. Of the loser
