G, 8. Payne “I am ready for my now,” she said, after Rev. had won the victory Mra, Harrington was fasting force her husband to join Chureh ef God. Rev Payne called Ada Peercy, nurse, to bring a cup of milk, whieh Mrs. Harrington immediately drank. ' Payne waited long enough to see that the milk was retained on Payne to the er stomach Mrs, Harrington was very gentle and submissive thruoat my confer ence and showed a wonderful spirit,” said Rev. Payne. “She did not at- tempt to argue with me and I stat. ed incident after incident in the Bible to prove that the Lord did not expect anyone to go without food.* SHE HAD *RAYED FOR HIS ADVICE “I had prayed and prayed fer you to come and give me advice.” Mrs. Harrington told Rev, Payne “I know that the real Chureh of God that you represent teaches to obey thore who bave rule over congregations.” It wae at this point that Mré, Har. in broke her fast, She volunteered to break her fast without any definite request by Rov. Payne. “I am thankful that I won the vie- tory.” said Payne, who was broaght | |to Danville by the United Press in| | an effort to have the woman give up her fast. | Rev. Payne arrived at the Harrin; ton home before Mrs. Harrington had awakened. Rey. Payne said he waited ten min utes until she awakened and then had his talk with her. CONVINCED, SHE ASKS FOR FOOD Ada Peercy was with Rev. Payne during his plea, Rev. Payne insisted that Sister Myrtle Faker, of Vincennes, who has been with Mrs, Harrington, stay out of the room during the conversation. With the door of the bedroom open, Sister Myrtle heard Mra. Har- rington ask for food. she rushed in to the room and exclaimed, “Do you think this will please the Lord?’ Mra. Harrington answered, “Yes. Mrs. Harrington started her fast after she had a “vision from the | Lord,” ahe said, in Which He ordered her to start fasting in order to force her butcher-husband to give up his shop and become a minister. ‘The fast started November 29, but she continued to work in the butcher shop with her husband as long as she was strong enough to wait on the trade and keep books. | On the 20th day of her fast she became exhausted, and was taken |home by her husband.

In the light of the tragic death of Policeman Stevens yesterday at the hands of four desperadoes, the measure needs little argument. The inci- dent is eloquent in its behalf. Policeman Stevens has left a wife and five children, the oldest of whom is 17. The pay of peace officers is usually small. hazardous. It is only proper that provision should be made for their dependents just as the workmen’s compensation act makes provision for those killed in industrial occupations. Even if the Grass bill is passed, it is doubtful if it will cover the Stevens case, for laws cannot usually be made retroactive, but apply only to future cases. Fellow- officers have already begun a collection to help the family face the grim struggle for life’s necessitie: Insurance amounting to $1,000 is offset by indebtedness of about $800. One boy has a job, and the police pension fund will, give the widow $55 a 5 indeed, the Grass bifl is written in human kindness and justice. If it cannot help the Stevens family, it can help families left in a similar plight in the future. | NAVAL NURSE IS |SHOOTS WIFE; _|LENINE DODGES MURDER VICTIM ENDS OWN LIFE Woman Found Beaten Un-|Tragedy Occurs in Ballard) conscious in Gully Home Their work frequently is Arrested DEATH BY BOMB: Six of His Guards Killed; 20) TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE RIKE! |MARTHA E.
