Healing by Prayer
The discussion of the Emmanuel move
ment has produced many interviews ana
statements in regard to the efficiency o'
prayer la curing diseases.
The Bible declarations on this subject
have been either misunderstood by oppo
nents or have been groas'.y overstated by
advocates, as it appears to me.
Perhaps the real meaning lies between
the t*e diverse opinions, and it is well I
to approach the subject with a mind open
to conviction and seeking only the truth.
I know 1 will state a fact when I say.
just here, there has been vitriolic criticism
buried against that particular tenet of
Christian Science, and a time is coming
when honest critics will admit an error
of injustice and unkind speaking on this
particular subject.
When Jesus was on earth and His au
thority respected and His help solicited.
His iwi»h WU.oftentimes crowded with.
sußpUcanla whq laid the bedridden suffer
ers before bun. Uniformly He healed the
sick and restored the blind IQ sigh’ He
said all belle vers might heal the sick.
When the people wondered He said: "O.
ye of little faith.” indicating the extreme
power of a compelling faith—even so that
mountains might be removed and cast
into the sea. if It was firm faith.
St. Paul defines Faith to be the sub
stance of things hoped for. and the evi
dence of things not seen.
If you hope for the recovery of your
sick ones, and pray In the right spirit,
granting to the Almighty Giver. ’Thy
will be done.' as Jesus taught us to pray,
there will be comforting grace in some
quarter, and there are ten thousand in
stances given on good authority of such
emphatic answers to the prayer of faith
are recorded In healing of the sick.
Because patients die who have • been
prayed for does not mean that prayer is
wasted or disregarded at the throne of
grace. The very hairs of the believer s
bead are numbered and even the little
sparrows do not fall to the ground with
out the notice of the Maket and Preserv
er.
The difficulties He in the prayers we
make, not the waiting ear of the Almigh
ty. Perhaps we pray for recovery of sick ‘
people, when the Heavenly Father is shel
tering them from evils to come, when
they are taken away from us.
I remember a case in point, as toid by
a newspaper forty years ago. A number
of passenger* were seated on the deck
of a splepdid fast-going steamship to Hew
York. As they'’aped along, in sunshine
and glad heat-. the subject of idffpwreck or
death jby Went came up. One lady
caught Her batty boy to her bosom and
said: *l. should ffifc If "*> shouty
die. I know 1 should." '.Various ladies
expressed themselves in .regard to the
subject of death much in the same strain,
one lady remarking: ’.'l pray every day
for my boy to five. I'll do rriy best tr<God
will leave him to me.' ... ——
A lady dressed In deep mourning, who
had listened but had not ykt spoken, came
forward and said: “Lady, before you pray
that prayer again, hear what I can tell
you. I hdd .but one-sdn. a beapilM boy
My husband and myself WoHged (hat
child. He seemed ,tb be tirer vdttfer ev
erything to us. 'When he Wax, tireee or
four years old he became tritiealiy.jp. I
was ftwatle. I prtyed an earnest praynr
to God to spare the chiM to nie. at all
hazards give me Ms life. Me w» spared,
grew up to boyhood and manhood; His
father died, left me a widow. My row be
came Arndpated. reek,css. finally k|Med a
man in a drunken.■krawL **.'
When I tell you >hat he was hanged
for murder, you can estimate my feel
ings In some small degree Ten thousand
times, ten thousand times have I prayed
God to take htm doriag •AtrJble
weeks of strain and anguish. If he had
only gone 1 to he* ve ® when he was a
sweet, innocent baby boy. heart
would now be relieved of this lifelong
anguish and hopeless sorrow’ Be careful
how you pray for what you “clamor fori’
As she returned to her seat not a word
was spoken. The text was short and the
preacher had finished that sermon, and
nobody said amen*
So at last we are face to face with
what a real prayer of faith stands for
la healing the sick and curing disease. It
means obedience to God a .Will! If ’thg
loving Father in Hte wisdom, grants the
prayer of faith, nag ..the sick are healed,
there may be understood something of
God’s willingness to give us comfort and
happiness in such answers to prayer:
but we never may understand that our
will should be set in front of God’s will
in such miracies of healing
St. Paul had a thorn in the flesh, which
gave Mm sore trouble. He prayed thrice
that God might, remove. It whatever it
may have been, in its suffering mortifi
cation or humiliation to the apostle. And
he tells ua in his epistle that the thorn
still remained, and worked out for him
complete resignation to the divine will.
Death is sometimes acknowledged to be
the best friend that man can have in
the depths of grief and sorrow. If we
can only find an abundant entrance into
the rest prepared for the true and faith
ful, God’s will concerning us Is what
we should earnestly pray for in our
prayers fdr the sick. At we caw only
anchor In the Heavenly Master s will as
the thing most needful to ua and the
healing comes as the answer to our com
plete resignation to His will.
Experience the Rest Teacher
What you may learn in books is valua
ble. but what experience teaches you is
more valuable.
I have three or four negro caoins that
I rent for almost nominal sums, and I
have learned more of the perversity of
human nature from my experience with
,j» venous occupants than I have ob
tained from every other business source.
It is a jlace to learn: and to suffer.
For Instance: A colored man and his
wife rented one of them last year, filled
it op to overflowing with their kinnery
(paying me one dollar at a time when
two or three were due. all the time plead
ing for leniency—that the rent should be
paid as soon as work opened up. etc.
Both of them handed me rent money at
different times; both made manv and fre
quent promises and excuses, and both
plead for time to get up the rent; and I
tried to colect from both. At last, when
patience was exhausted. I examined the
inside of the house and found they had
burned up an entire partition and wrecked
the windows. Then the debt amounted to
eight dollars.
I took out a distress warrant for rent
and the case went to Justice's court.
There the negro man swore he had
nothing—never did have anything-but
still he owed the rent The woman swore
she never had paid me % cent of rent—
didn’t know even what I charged for the
house—and everything tn the house be
longed to her and she was her own boss.
T testified that she as often paid the
rent money as he. and as often made
promises to pay. and the greater part of
the gang that harbored there were her
sons, and that she was as much con-
cerned In keeping the house as the man,
and her gang were in evidence all the
time.
The Justice stood by the negro woman
took her testimony rather than mine—
and dismissed the whole business-giving
me costs to pay and allowing them to go (

wnen disappointments crowd in so thick •
that tr.e pursuit of pleasure gets to be I

There are few persons in the world
who have not tasted the ills of life after |

times the change comes through loss of
health, oftentimes through reverses of
fortune and many times through one a

love as their own selves.
A great many fling themselves against
the bars of their captivity and aggra

to alter tile inevitable. Such struggles
have sent scores of once nuppy people
to the asylum. A great many have
been reduced to misanthropes and dis
believers in whatsoever is pure and
good. They are transformed into mis

those who must endure them, and to
themselves, because they are discontent-

But while trig ways of adversity are

are often sore and wearying: there is
a discipline that attends such burdens
which works a healthy condition of the

DOG ADOPTS KITTEN
AFTER LOSING PUPPIES
, COLUMBUS, Ga.. Jan. 30.—President
Roosevelt may class it as a nature fake
, story, and the author df it may be placed
In the Ananias club, but a story comes
, from Marvyn, Russell county, Ala., which
is much out of the ordinary. It is to the
, effect that a female dog. which recently
, lost all of her puppies, has adopted, as it
I were, a small kitten as her very own.
I The story was brought to Columbus by
, a well known traveling man. whose repu
tation for veracity is well known. He
states that the dog shows great animal
affection for the kitten, and that she has
I constituted herself as Its guardian.
An illustration of the solicitude of the
, dog for the safety of the kitten was given
a day or two ago when the kitten was on
. a counter In a store walking along near
. the edge thereof. The dog seeing It,
jumped up and carefully took the kitten
» in her mouth and gently placed it on the
i floor.
t The dog .“nurses" the kitten as If Jt
> were her own offspring, and the kitten
- appears to be devoted to its foster mother.

CITIZENS APPROVE
INAUGURAL PLAN
The movement to send a delegation of
Atlanta military cadets and the city's
drum corps to the inauguration of Presi
dent-elect Taft next March has aroused
widespread Interest and approval. It
seems to be an undivided opinion that for
Atlanta to take a non-political part In
this big national ceremony would be a
gracious and profitable piece of enter
prise.
Mayor Maddox declared Friday morn
ing, “The plan suggested by Mr. Jackson
is an excellent one. It would amount to
another link between Atlanta and the na
tion. In view of the fact that Judge Taft
has recently been our visitor and gave us
such welcome assurance, the idea be
comes especially apropos. Personally I
shall be glad to contribute to such ex
penses as would be Incurred. When the
citizens have got behind the movement
and some definite plan has been formu
lated I think council will act as favorably
as good judgment will permit, though, of
course, I can say nothing specifically on
that feature.”
Martin F. Amorous, chairman of the
finance committee, expressed himself sim
ilarly and said that he would be pleased
to contribute toward the expedition.
Asa G. Candler, president ot the cham
ber of commerce, considers the proposi
tion one of the happiest bits of advertis
ing that Atlanta could invest in. Speak
ing not as an official of the chamber of
commerce, but in his individual capacity,
he said:
“It would be a fine thing to send two
or three hundred of our young military
students and the drum corps to the In
auguration. Atlanta would form one of
the most noticeable factors In the in
augural parade. Personally I hope to see
the movement succeed.”
Prof. G. Holman Gardner, president of
the Donald-Fraser school at Decatur. Is
particularly enthusiastic.
“I was struck Immediately with Mr.
Jackson's suggestion,” he said, "and our
school may be counted on to send a full
squad of boys who repreesnt the best
families ot the south. I can thin* of no
happier compliment the city could pay
the new president and of no single act
that would bring her more favorably be
fore the nation.”
Though It was impossible Friday to get
Into communicatioji with Col. Woodward,
of the Georgia Military academy, at Col
lege Park, or with Father Rapierfl of the
Marist college, it Is believed that both
these institutions will fall readily into the
plan and contribute largely to Its success.
President Matheson, of Tech, could not
be reached.
Within a few days the movement will
take definite shape and the details of »he
expedition considered.
CHARGED WITH TRYING
TO ASSASSINATE
VALDOSTA. Ga.. Jsn. 30.—News cornea
from Madison. Fla., of the arrest of a
young nqpn named Do mm a Webb, who Is
accused of trying to assassinate his
brother-in-law. William T. Holt, a well
known farmer. The attempted assassina
tion occurred last November, when a bul
let was fired into Holt’s house, striking
Mrs. Holt, who had her baby In her arms
at the time.
Efforts were made to apprehend Webb,
but they were not successful at the time.
A short time ago a young man reached
that section, claiming to be from the
north anl bent on hunting. He mingled
freely with the people and became quite
“chummy" with Webb. A few nights ago
this young man. whose name was Young,
went to Holt’s house in company with
Webb. Young called Mr. Holt to the
door and Holt answered the call, but did
not come out. At this juncture Deputy
Sheriff Horton stepped up and arrested
Webb and Young. Webb had his revolver
drawn and was ready to shoot Holt when
he opened the door.
Both of the young men were carried to
Madison and were landed in jail. It then
became known that Young was a detec
tive who had been employed by Holt to
work up the case. He had joined Webb
1n fils mission to Holt's house to re-enqct
the tragedy of last November. The of
ficers were notified of the visit and were
on hand to take Webb in charge.
It is said that there Is other strong evi
dence that W’ebb is the man who made
the attempt in November.

“Houston.’ one of the most highly-val
; ued camels of the Van Amberg circus,
i now wintering at the coliseum In Pied
■' mont park, was killed Thursday after
-1 noon in a duel with a new camel, who
’ had arrived only a short time before. The
' fight took place in the improvised animal
; house in the coliseum and was witnessed
by the other animals, who joined in the
i pandenxonium with nearly every cry or
the jungle.
The new herd had reached Atlanta a
short time before from Hot Springs. By
some oversight the new camels were al
lowed to be tied too close to “Houston,”
and one of the animals began the attack.
"Houston” escaped from all but one. a
i younger and stronger animal, who platting
her nose under “Houston’s” mouth, twist
ed the old camel's neck until It was bro
ken.
"Houston” was valued at $iMXr and was

Trained Pony Crushed by Elephant
VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. 30.—There i*
something about Valdosta that puts bad
ideas In the heads of elephants. Several
years ago “Old Gipsy,” the big elephant
with the Harris Nickel Plate show, ran
amuck here, killed her keeper, terrorized
the town and was later killed six miles
In the country by Chief Dampier, who
was accompanied on the chase by a
posse.
Two years ago. after being in winter
quarters here for two months, two of the
elephants of the Van Amberg show es
caped and ran fifty miles through the
country, swimming rivers, knocking down
fences and terrorizing the people. They
remained at large nearly a week before
they were subdued.
night the Sparks shows reached
the city to remain In winter quarters un
til April. About the first thing that hap
pened after the show reached the city the
; big elephant pounced upon one of the
trained ponies and crushed the life out
of it. The pony was valued at about >WO.
It strolled too near the brute and Its llty
paid the forfeit. Tbe elephant knocked
It down with its trunk and then kneeled
down on It, crushing Its bones.
Aged Man Weds Boyhood Sweetheart
i BAINBRIDGE, Ga.. Jan. 30.-Judge R.
Bruce Kerr, «6 years old, with his bride
of 60 years, arrived In this city yesterday
from Virginia, having been married at
Churchville. Va., on the 12th of thte
month. There is quite a little romance at
tached to this wedding, the culmination
of nearly half a century of true and de
voted affection on the part of the now
happy wife. It was forty-three years ago
that she bad* her soldier toy—fresh from
the ranks of the immortal Army of
Northern Virginia—a long adieu. The
rest Is a story of pure and unadulterated
] OV e—love never falling, enduring and
ready to endure forever. Forty-three
years of patient, tireless, waiting for ths
love of her girlhood's sunny years—a love
that no "ills of outrageous fortune” could
pale or diminish.
In those early days the ardent young
lover had burned the Initials of hts
sweetheart on his arm and there they re
main to this day. After the death of his
wife, which occurred four years ago. the
judge in hl* loneliness remembered his
boyhood sweetheart and determined that
he' would write her. Thia he did last
July, and he soon reclved the welcome
news that she was still single and had
not forgotten him. They soon became
engaged, although they had not seen each
other in forty-three years, and tbe first
of this month he started out to see his
leerly sweetheart, Miss Jerusha McPhee-,
ters, and bring her back to the city where
he has been living since 1866.
The happy pair will make their future
home in this city, where they are oeing
warmly welcomed by the many friends of
the bridegroom.
Thompson and Landaberger Fight.
J. B. Thompson, proprietor of the Ly
ceum theatre, which was destroyed by
fire early' Saturday’ morning, and A.
Landsberger, owner of the New YOrk
Clothing store, which is next door to the
theatre, engaged in a lively fight in the
lobby of the New Kimball house Friday !
morning shortly after 10 o’clock. As a re
i suit of the fight Landsberger is now con-;
i fined to his bed in his room at the hotel
! with a gash on the right side of his head. ,
The trouble started at the cigar stanfi
in the lobby when Mr. Landsberger walk
ed up to Mr. Thompson and made some
remark In regard to the fire. Immediate
ly after Mr. Landsberger had spoken to
Mr. Thompson the latter grabbed a cus
pidor and threw It at Mr. Landsberger.
Tbe missile went wide of Its mark and
Mr. Thompson then picked up a large
cigar cutter and struck Mr. Landsberg in ’
the head with it. *
After a number of missiles had been;
thrown in the hotel the guests and officers
Interfered and put the two combatants in!
the street. After reaching the sidewalk
in front of the hotel the two men again
tried to get together, and it was only by
holding them that friends prevented an
other fight. Mr. Thompson has been
served with a copy of charges to aj>pear
in police court Monday morning.
"Landsberg accused me of burning my 1
own theatre, and I struck him with the I
first thing I could get my hands on,” I
said Thompson when seen Saturday ‘
morning following the difficulty. “Such
on accusation demanded prompt action,
and I could not help striking him."
“I only was asking Mr. Thompson about
the fire, when he struck me.” said Mr.
Landsberger. “I did not accuse him of
burning his house, and cannot state just
why he struck me.”

J It represented the taxes which Ml near-

: "We have no near-beer dealers here.” |
, This was an oracular answer front
which divers inferences might be drawn. |
1 Smie people thought it meant that what
in other counties was near-beer was
J straight beer in Chatham. The comptrolU
:er had w aited patiently for Chattuun’s
share of the tax created by the last leg
islature and then when he had finally in
; quired as to the delay the ordinary had
said there would be no taxes, because
’ there were no dealers.
This was a delicate situation. Every- >
Tjouy wondered what Savannah would do
If the enforcement of the tax came to a
pinch. About that time Solicitor Gen
eral Hartridge came to Atlanta and had
• a conference with Governor Smith. Just
, what was said and agreed upon is not
' definitely known.
1 But here at last is Chatham a near
beer tribute, rolling into fSe state's treaa- |
ury H 0,200 strong. The comptroller smiled
blandly as he laid the check aside and
ordered another supply of tax blanks sent
down.
SOBS OFHIS young son
STOP TRIAL OF FATHER
CHICAGO. Jan. 30.—The trial of Cliaa.
H. Holmes, charged with the murder of
nil’s wife, was halted in Judge Bren Cano's /
i court today by a scene enacted by the ac- |
' cused man and his twelve-year-old son. '?
i Howard Holmes, who is the principal
witness against his father.
Father and son sobbed aloud and court
proceedings were stopped.
The boy, whose testimony may send
his father to the gallows, threw his arms
about his parent’s neck and khised him *
repeatedly and Mr. Holmes threw his
arms about the boy's neck. No attempt
I was made to interfere with them and
soon the boy withdrew from the court
room and went to a witness room, where
he sat by himself and sobbed.
1 The state finished its case with the evi
j dence of Howard, who told of hi* father
• having beaten his mother repeatedly. The
defense then began.
It became apparent that coun<»el for
Holmes will seek to show that Mrs.
Holmes had been an invalid for years and
that she died from natural causes.
