(United Pr P «)-A hair-raising story of the •host of an executed man who mater|g||2e<l before the prison chaplain who officiated at his execution is told here by Major R. A- Marriott, formerly gov ernor of the Exater jail. According to Major Marriott the executed man who "came back" after his execution was a young man who paid with his life on the scaffold f<ir the murder of a girl. The chaplain was interested in spiritualism and to a certain extent a believer in it. • .As a test.” said Major Marriott, "the Chaplain while sitting in the cell of the condemned man on the night before his execution asked him it he would try and show himself on earth again after death. "The next morning the prisoner was executed. That night and for three nights running thereafter, the chaplain was terrified to sea spirit lights moving through the blackness of his room as soon as he turned out the gas. They remained on each occasion about three minutes and then disappeared. "But on the fifth night no lights appeared. nor on any of the nights thereafter, until after a lapse of about three months the chaplain awoke in the middle of the night to find the lights moving about his room again. A moment later, his hair literally stood on end when he perceived that the executed man was standing plainly visible close beside his bed. "With a great effort the chaplain composed himself and spoke to the spirit who replied in a voice that was plainly audible. The executed man told th© chaplain that afte rhis execution he had ‘gone straight into the light' and was then working to keep others who had committed the same sort of a crime and who were ‘still in the darkness.' He added that he was also helping the girl whose life he had taken." Major Marriott also declared that he knew of no other Instances of itation or "prison ghosts" which had come within the range of his experience while he was governor of the jail. "We had one prisoner,” he continued, "who declared under oath that his dead father had twice appeared before him in his cell. On another occasion the deceased husband of a temporary attendant to a sick prisoner appeared to her in his uniform as a railway man and kissed her on both cheeks.” o_ Smallpox Epidemic Is Reported At South Bend South Bend, Ind., Jan. 18. —(United Press)—An order of the city board of health night classes in the public schools are suspended today to check the smallpox epidemic.

CALLS CHURCH THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST " lATIXiTD THOM PAGE ONE) favor? shown the bride, and the more people make over her, the happier the groom is, because he loves his bride ” Describes Man's Love “Then, after the wedding, comes that great love of husband for wife.” At this point, Rev. Fledderjohann descrlb , ed the love of an aged man for his wife ahd how, after she had died, he wished and prayed that he too, might die and be burled beside her. “The bride of today, in all her beauty, typifies something spiritual.” Rev. Fledder Johann said. “It typifies the bride of t’hrist, which Is the church." ’ “Paul said,” the pastor continued. "Husbands love your wives even as Christ loved the church,” and I deI sire to defend the bride of the Ixird and appeal to you that you may become more ardent admirers of the Lord's bride. I want you to see in her, the bride that will some day be the wife of Christ. At present, the church is just making ready to become the fiord's wife and the more favors you show the church, the happier Christ will he. | “If Christ so loved the church that He gave His life for it, it must play an important part in Christianity. In fact, it has become so important that it is an essential factor of Christianity." Rev. Fledderjohann then told an interesting story, greatly to the point, of a man who asked a great preacher if it was necessary to be affiliated with a church to be saved, and the preacher replied, “No and you don’t have to take a boat to go to Europe, but it's the best way.” Rev. Fledderjohann continued his appeal for reverence to the church and a greater love of the people for the church. “Let us all help prepare the bride of Jesus Christ," he concluded. “He gave his life for her. what, are you doing?” Special songs by the choir also made up part of the beautiful program. Services will be held each night this week at 7:30 o'clock at the Zion Reformed church, as well as at the other six cooperating churches. Evangelical Church Good meetings and large attendances marked the midway point of the Simultaneous Revival at the Evangelical church yesterday. The Kentucky Song Birds and Professor Gerber furnished the music and it was greatly enjoyed. The service in the evening included an hour’s music. The Rev. R. W. Izwse talked in the morning on “The Christian Family in the Church.” The sermon was a message urging the entire family to attend church together. In the evening, the text was “Knowing The Lord." The interest was at the highest pitch since the meetings opened a week ago. There will be three group meetings each night this week at 7 o'clock at the Evangelical church. The men, wo. men and children will meet for a half hour's prayer and conference before each service. Professor Gerber will continue to lead the music and both choirs will sing each night. Methodist Church “The need of every home in Decatur is to have the whole family converted,’’ said the Rev. Somerville Light in his sermon Sunday morning. “The revelation of God to man is such that whenever God makes a special revelation to a man and you are around, don’t get in the way, you might get hurt. Peter was in a trance when the three servants from Cornelius camo seeking him. The voice from God told Peter to go with the three men and preach to Cornelius. Cornelius had gathered his household together to hear Peter preach. Religion today is not a family matter, some think it is putting their names on the church record and father’s name or mother’s name will work for the whole family. No man can be religious by proxy, no man can get into heaven by proxy, but he must go forth himself and God deals with each individual man as if there was no other man in the world. Every man has to stand before God and answer for himself.” Sunday night. Rev. Light preached on the subject, “Pricked to the Heart,” and his text was Acts 2:37. “Peter had zig-zagged many times in life, he betrayed Christ three times, Peter failed, but Jesus knew what was in his heart, knew what he was made of, knew the possibilities of that great chaarcter, and when God was ready to have a sermon preached, which stood along with the Sermon on the Mount, the power of the spirit came upon Peter on the day of Pentecost and he stood up and preached and the people were pricked in their hearts. Peter stood up before that crowd and accused them of crucifying Jesus. When the people heard Peter they responded to the Call, they were stung by that kind of preaching. The deadness and indifference and lack of pow-, er in the church is appalling, but the ministry is largely responsible for it. The need of the day is to have a

a preacher preach the preaching Jesus would have him preach. The ministers must dare to speak. We have got to have a religion here that will get hold of the heart.” The services of Sunday were well attended. There was a large number at Sunday school and the morning and | evening services were well attended bylarge numbers. Tim Junior league had the largest attendance of the year and many young people were present at the Epworth league services. Spcial nights have been planned for thia week. Monday night will be. church night, Tuesday night will be mothers and daughters night, Wednesday night will be fathers and sons night, Thursday night will be Sunday “< hool night. Every member of the church should put forth his hest effort to attend the services this week. The prayer meetings tomorrow at 2:3b o'clock, are as follows: at the home of Mrs. E. W. Johnson. Mrs Lawson, leader; at the home of Mrs. Dan Sprang, Mrs. Vail, leader; at the home' 'of Mrs. Chrisman, Mrs. Shiinp, leader; at the home of M rs - Giles Porter, Mrs.' J. 1). Hurkless, leader and at the home of Mrs. S. E. Brown, with Mr. W. F. Beery as leader. Zion Reformed Church The services at the Zion Reformed church reachedjhe peak of attendance in last night’s service. The Rev. O. IL Scherry, of Vera Cruz, preached on the subject: “How to Win Souls for Christ,” 11 is sermon was based on Mark 9:27-“But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose." The speaker pictured the transfiguration of Christ on the mountain, but he said, “Jesus did not have time to remain on the mountain top but he needed to go into the valley where he ministered unto the son with the dumb spirit. Jesus not only drove out the evil spirit but he took him by the hand and lifted him up. To make a confession of faith or to join a church may be a mountain top experience for folks but this is not the end of life, it, is only the beginning. We then need to go down Into the valley, stoop down and lift up the fallen. As a church, we need to _go into the hospitals, out into the streets, into the homse of suffering and sorrow and lend a helping hand. If the church does not go into the valley of need, we cannot expect it of others to do it.” The male chorus from Vera Cruz, consisting of 14 voices, assisted in the services and rendered a number of inspiring selections. Rev. Scherry will give a second message tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Special musical numbers will be given. Baptist Church

Sunday was a really wonderful day in the Baptist church. The Sunday school attendance reached within ten of being equal to the number ot' resident membership of the church. Large audiences were present, both morning and evening and a deep spirit, oi prayer prevailed during the day. In the evening service, five persons were baptized and united witli the church. Tlie revival spirit is manifest in this church. The pastor spoke In tlie morning service on the subject, "('an u saved soul be lost?" Many ex. pressed themselves as being helped by the service and message. One happy feature of the service was the family groups sitting together. It was truly a family day. In the evening, the upastor spoke on the subject, “Paid In Fuli," using the text, “The Wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” In the message, four words were emphasized, “Sin, Death, Gift, Life.”

This evening, at 7:30 o’clock, the isulijept will lie, "Heaven, and how to get there.” Tomorrow evening, Mr. Proctor will tell something of his experience in conversion from a l!fe of darkness and sin to be a blessed hope in Jesus Christ. He has been leading (he music acceptably. Presbyterian Church Two large audiences greeted tlie pastor, the Rev. B. N. Covert, at both worship services Sunday morning and evening at the Presbyterian church. In the morning, the sermon subject was “The Value of Intercessory Prayer.” The speaker dwelt on the necessity of the development of the talent of intercession. Invalids, shut-ins and people who are unable to speak in public can weild a tremendous power over the destinies of men. “Prayer Moves the Hand that Moves tlie World.” The assurance that prayer is answered, at tlie same time the petition is asked if the conditions within our own hearts are right, was stressed by tlie minister. I nthe evening, the Christian Endeavor led in the preliminaries. A largo chorus choir of young people sang a special number and Miss Virginia Hite rendered a beautiful solo. The pastor i spoke on “The Call of Christ to Two , Young Men.” One failed to respond and evidently made a failure in life. The rich young ruler decided it cost too much to follow Christ and thereafter disappears from the Biblical account. The-, other young mau, a tax

collector, with a bad record of extortion, gave up bls business and followed Christ. He became the author of the Gospel, according to Matthew. The speaker closed with a strong appeal to the young people to make Christ the master of their lives. I Tonight, Rev. Covert wil speak on, "Stoning Jeans.” Mrs Knapp’s class will have charge of the muslca and of the preliminaries. Wednesday night is Sunday school night. Every member lof the Sunday school Is expected to be present. United Brethren Church I Sunday was a great, day at the , United Brethren church. The Sunday school attendance was one of i the highest ever recorded at the local church. The Rev. Peril R. .Smith delivered two Interesting ser 'mons. In the morning, the pastor spoke on “The Brdken Family Circle” ' and in the evening "You Can’t Get Away From Your Shadow," was the 1 topic, '. The largo audience showed their appreciation of the fine sermons. , N<>w faces are preset each night and ' many old members are attending the • services. Tonight the group leaders will meet at 7:15 o'clock and the regular meeting will start at 7:30. I Tuesday night, will be designated 1 as Membership night and it is the . desire of the pastor to have every • member present. John Walters will r continue to lead the singing, which i is being made a special feature of > each meeting. Christian Church The pastor of the Christian church ■ reports two wonderful services held . yesterday. The Bible school attend- . ance was the largest, with one excep- . tion, since the new church building I was dedicated. A now- feature of the Bible school I was a fine class-of boys and young 1 men. introduced and sponsored by j Dr. Burt Mangold, the Bible school . superintendent. Mrs. A. D. Artman t is doing a notable work in the young r ladies division, as is Mr. Jesse } Swartz in the young married peoples I division. Every department of the ! Bible school showed a marked increase in attendance. r The evening service opened with a spirited song service led oy the choir, under the direction of Miss Josephine Anderson. A fair sized I congregation heard the pastor deliv'er a sermon on the theme. “The ’ Shadow of the Cross.” Tracing the jinfluence of the Cross from the time of the crucifiotion of Jesus, Rev.

Thompson showed the utter fut-Uity of anyone to escape facing the issue that the Cross of Jesus projects into human affairs. In closing, he said,' "You must settle the issue of the cross. The cross stands between you and the justice ot Cod.

Winter Clears Way For Rum Running Along Del roil River

Port Huron, Mich., Jan. 18— (United Press.) — Winter has eliminated most of the hazards of Michigan Ontario rum runners operating along the St. Clair and Detroit rivers and authorities admit they have no way of effectively combating the smugglers until spring. "Holiday liquor" brought in to supply thirsty Detroit and other large cities in the middle west was available here in unlimited quantites at reasonable prices, in spile of large seizures by state police and co-operat-ing customs officers, Alan G. Straight, commisioner of public safety admits tlie hundreds of cases of whiskey confiscated represents "only a small portion” of the liquor which left the Canadian shore for the United States during the last month

It is virtually impossible to patrol the international boundary by water between here and Toledo after December cold sets in in earnest. Men cannot spend hours cruising in open boats and shore ice is troublesome.

The comparatively short time required to cross to the American shore makes it possible, however, for the liquor smuggler to run his cargo to some abandoned dock along the hundred miles of shore line. Trucks are waiting for the boats and the boats and the liquor is moved to retailers under cover of darkness without particular danger unless land officers are “tipped*’ of the arrival of the shipments. About forty state troopers and federal agents patrol the shore between Port Huron and Monroe at the present time and Straight believes it would take at least 100 men to deter the smugglers to any extent. Three state police posts are maintained at inter-

Says She Depends on Father John’s Medicine for Coughs, Colds and Body Building. A mother’s anxiety is first of all for the health of her children; over that she watches with the greatest care. When a mother of eight children tells her experience, it is something in which all other mothers are interested. That is why tlie following letter from Mrs.M. Stellabotte, of Brooklyn, N. Y„ is of particular interest. She says: “I am a mother of eight children. Whenever they are bothered with a cough I use Father John's Medicine. The result is good, healthy children. We have never used any other cought medicine but Father John's Medicine. We recommend it."

How Industry Can Reduce Accidents “Auto death list nears 800—94 more than last year’s toll”—is the headline of a Chicago daily. City ordinances and traffic regulations have not succeeded in reducing the number of accidents. Why? The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes the right state of mind toward driving lias not been created. The driver of an automobile must consider human life more important than any business urgency. He must realize that a few minutes of time gained may mean death, and that a life can never be restored. A moment’s carelessness and a little child is crushed beneath the wheels. A reckless risk and an old man is knocked down, never to walk again. The driver of an automobile must feel the weight of his responsibility. He must be willing to take the time and the extra precautions needed to play safe at any cost. This necessary state of mind cannot be compelled by law. It can be produced only by an appeal to the intelligence and human sympathy of man for man. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that this state of mind can be created, to a large extent,’ among drivers of other vehicles. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has inaugurated a system of traffic and safety rules, which all drivers of Company owned trucks or cars are required to observe. These regulations apply to every employe of the Company and every driver is asked to pledge himself to observe them. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) considers its traffic rules of primary importance. It realizes that success depends upon the spirit of service and co-operation in the employes themselves. It knows that a state of mind cannot be compelled by law. It appeals to the loyalty and sound judgment of its men. They obey its traffic rules because they want to, because they know that they are right. This Company has proved by its own experience that the state of mind which avoids accidents can be created and cultivated among drivers of its trucks and cars. Its attitude, reflected in its rules, has taken the first long step in the direction of creating this state of mind. This “service of safety” is but one of the many services this Company offers to the public, which makes its success in industry possible.
