MGMIGAN JrVriUs to His Friends Through The Press. Moroantown', Ky.Mt. Walter Walker. Marion. Ky.: I desire through the Pkess to let my friends kuow where I am and what I am doing, aud that I have never forgotten them oruevorwill.I love the people of Crittenden and I love evory spot in the town aud couuty. Though I am away, my mind often goes back to the oheerful faces aud warm hearts of the people of Marion. I left Marion nearly four years ago. Moved to Dawaou, thence to Providenoe. I oanie to from Providence in May, and took ohargo of three churches and two missions. We found a number of dead ohurohes. I went to work in earnest and God has blessed my efforts. All the churches are taking on now life and this bids fair to be a splendid work We have just closod a great revival here. There wore 34 conver sions. The meeting was in progress two weoks. Rev J. T. Bar-bee, of Greenville, was with me J ten days. Morgantowu ia a quiet little town on Green Rivor, the county seat of Butlor oounty. We never have found a more generous, open hearted people. They are ever ready to help us. We thought when we left Marion that we never would find aa many friends as wo had there. It was hard to leave our old home, the town we lovo so dearly. In our silent meditation we remembor LTnolo Joe Adams in the prayer meetings, and the happy hours we spent with him and a few othor faithful ones. The earnest words of my many friends, "You must preach, Ben; why don't you go at it." This comes to my ears today and thank God I heed-ed the advice, and had stepped out on the promises of the Lord. The four years have been the happiest of my life. I have witnessed huii dreds of conversions. May God bless everybody in Marion and Crittenden county. Your friend, B. F. MoMican. A HERO. 'Oh, how cold!" escaped my lips I as I stumbled through the door of a miserable attic tenement houao, says a writer in Wittohman. The mother was out, but her twelve-year-old boy was mounted guard over the other children as they played about the poorly furnished room. I shivered as the wind whistled through the broken window panes, oausing me to pull py overcoat over my ears. The boy was in his shirt sleeves, hut I refrained from asking questions as to the whereabouts of his ooat in case its absence might have been the means of providing a crust of bread for the fatherless family. "Are you not cold, my boy ?" Iasked. "No." he said, "not very." Yet I noticed how his pretty teeth chattered. I waitod awhile and spoke to him ; then I took a look into the oradlo whero, sleep. ing qmeuy anu comionauiy, mo baby lay covered with the boy's ooat. Talk about men-who face a oannon I In the heat of passion they will do anything. But hore was a hero, on a bitter cold day, in his shirtsleeves because he wanted to shield his little brother from the biting effoot of a cold wind. Men say tho age of heroism is past, It is false. So long as the nation raises boys like this one she has within horself tho germs of a boyhood that will koop her forever in the very forefront of the world's history, Fills a Deadly Attack, "Mjr wife waa bo ill that good phjsU dans were untblo to help her," write M.'M: Austin, of Winchester, Ind but was contly cured by Dr. King's New Life Pills."
