"Another Molly Pitcher" Hello, everybody: Today's soul-stirring tale of a brave little mother who was deathly afraid of guns, but afraid of nothing at all when corpora tion hirelings tried to grab a piece of her home, is the Battle of Monmouth all over again. You remember, or do you, how in that important engagement at Freehold, N. J*, away back on June 28, 1778, Molly Pitcher took the place of her husband, John C. Hays, an artilleryman, after he was wounded, and served his gun, thus preventing its capture by the British. That's a yarn that every red-blooded American gets a kick out of every time he reads it! It is mighty comforting, I want to tell you, to know there are Molly Pitchers in every generation, stepping forward fearlessly to take the places of their men when necessary. Just such a woman is today's distinguished adventurer. Meet Mrs. John Doolin, of Lemont, 111., who did a good job at writing her story, one that makes you feel all warm and proud of our womanhood. They call women the weaker sex. O yeah? Just put their backs to the wall. If you want the proof, read how Mrs. Doolin, single-handed, whipped, a rather high handed corporation that seemed to be trying to put over a fast one. Not long after a railroad came throagb the village of Lemont, where the Doolins had their home, there were a number of acci dents on a sharp curve close to the Doolin property. The com pany wanted to straighten the line by putting tt across the Doolin yard. Surveyors staked out the new right of way; workers appeared and began digging. John Doolin ordered them off. Then he took the first train to Chicago and there consulted his good friend, Attorney Alexander Sullivan. Actions of Company Held Illegal by Attorney. Mr. Sullivan told him the company had no right to put its line on Doolin property without permission. But, he continued (and here's the catch), if the company succeeded in erecting the poles and stringing Her finger was on the trigger and she was all set to poll It the power wire, the only thing Doolin could do would be to go to court. John Doolin didn't have any money to pay for long years of litigation so he beat it for home, resolved to keep the company off his premises. There, sticking up to the lawn, was a nice new pole that had been put up while he was to the city. John sawed the pole half way through. Then be borrowed a rifle and ammunition from a neighbor. A few days later, on a bright June morning in 1903, a policeman appeared with a warrant charging John Doolin with destroying public property. John marched away with the law, leaving three children cry tog, a wife on the verge -of it. No sooner was John Doolin out of sight than a crew of workmen swarmed on the place and began digging so furiously you would think they were being paid a dollar a shovelfulL Was little Mrs. Doolin going to let them get away with itT Up to the attic she hurried. There, for getting* she shivered at the very sight of a firearm, she took from the wall a shotgun that had hung undisturbed for many years. With her children clinging to her aad crying agato, she opened the window shutters, and rested the ancient fowling piece on the sill. Then, to a cold fury, she sailed down to the working "Throw doom your tools or I'll shoot!" They stopped working and began to kid her. Foreman Orders Men to Take Gun From Her. Then one bully, who appeared to be the foreman, ordered: "urnie on, guys, let's go up and take it away from her." Mrs. Doolin leaned a little farther out of the window and lifted the rusty shotgun. "The first man who takes a step toward my bouse gets shot," she called. "Now all of you drop your tools or I'll start shooting." ? And boys and girls, Mrs. Doolin meant exaeUy what she said. She was a determined mother, protecting her home and babies in the absence of her husband. Of coarse, she thought the gas wasn't loaded, bat her finger was so the trigger and she was all set to pall It if any one of those men made a more In the di rection of the boose. Bat their tools went down. The workmen sensed this was real drama, not a comedy, and they became sober. One spoke up to say the company had sent them there to rush up a couple of poles. Plucky Mrs. Doolin then explained to them that they were on her property, that the company had not asked per mission to use it nor offered to pay for it Well, sir, when those men got the lew doses on the proposi tion they took off their hats and cheered. "Tea sein, lady, you're a game gay," they told her. "We aren't doing any more digging ontil you get a square deal." With that they picked up their tools and went to tosro. Mrs. Doolin had iron her battle, but would the men be back tomorrow? Would the company have her arrested for threatening its svorkmen? And what had become of her husband? Officials Refuse to Prosecute Doolin. Pandering these questions. Mrs. DooUn went to the door and was overjoyed to see her husband coming op the walk. Be hadn't been In Jail at all. The policeman had taken him before a Justice of the peace, bat no one in the courtroom was willing to prosecute him. Be thought he understood why be had been taken amy oa a charge no oao would press srben Mrs. Doolin told him the men had been back.

Well, there was one thing about the old-fashioned corporation, it alsrays knew when it was licked. The very next morning the ironies of the Doolin family were over. Right after breakfast two suave lawyers called to say how sorry they were it had happened. There had been a mistake. The company was willing to pay a good price for the land. And they paid, right on the line, thanks to the little woman who didn't know when she was licked. (RdldfiMd bjr Western Ntwfpdptf Union.)

GOLDEN TEXT?The Lard la for from the wicked: but he heueth the prayer of the rlfhteouj.?Pro verba IS:*. "Let courage rise with danger." Such is the plea of Webb's great hymn, "Stand Up for Jesus." Chris tianity in our day calls for cou rageous men and women. Courage should be distinguished from such related things as bravery, valor, or bravado. Bravado is an affectation of a reckless bravery which surely has no place in Chris tian life and activity. Valor is associated with daring and vigorous action, for example, in battle. To be brave means to meet a challenge with confidence and resolution. To be courageous means to steadily meet perils of which one is deeply conscious, doing so because of the call 01 duty. Courage holds a deep er and nobler meaning than the other words, carrying with it the idea of moral strength and, in the case of the Christian, faith in God as one devoted to His cause. Elijah was .courageous, and he stands before our Christian youth to day as an example of that godly courage which L Works.in the Open (y. 30). Men whose deeds are evil love the darkness rather than the light God does not work in the dark. All of His workings are in the open sun light. Every one is welcome to "come near" and see what is done. Elijah knew God and he acted likfe God's man. What a tragedy it is that not all of God's servants have followed his example. If we had the open and above-board dealings of Elijah in the affairs of our churches, we might see more of the fire and power of his ministry. Certain it is that the administra tion of church affairs which has to be carried out in hidden comers by whispered conversations and by secret manipulations behind the scenes, is not God's work at all, it is the work of man. II. Asks No Favors (w. 33-35). Elijah rebuilt the altar himself. He asked no help of the unbelieving prophets of Baal or of apostate Is rael. How old-fashioned he seems in this day when so much stress is laid on a false unity of the faiths, and there is so much solicitation and acceptance by the Church of the help of unbelievers In financing the supposed work of God. Note also that Elijah invited his enemies to make the answer to his prayer more difficult by pouring water on the sacrifice. This was not an act of bravado, it was for the purpose of demonstrating that there was no fraud. He was willing that the enemies of the truth should make the demonstration more dif ficult if that would be to God's glory. There is a delightful old-fashioned flavor about that act, too, in these days when men are frequently will ing to compromise with unbelief and even with sin in osder that the work of the Church may be carried on without too much difficulty. Here again we have an explanation of the lack of spiritual power in our times. III. Haoors God, Not Mob (w. 30-32, 38-37). A man of bravery wants recogni tion for himself, while the coura geous man asks only that the cause for which he fights shall be success ful. Elijah had long since demon strated that be was absolutely fear less, and sought no favor or glory (read the entire story). Now in the tenseness of this moment, he care fully rebuilds the altar of the true God (v. 30), makes it # testimony of unity to a divided Israel (v. 31), and he does it all in the name of the Lord (v. 33). His prayer (r?. 38, 37) is a pro foundly simple expression of a com plete faith in the true God and His power on the part of a man who recognized himself as being only the divine servant. He made no plea that God would vindicate him or his ministry, but he did plead foat the name of the Lord should be hooored in the midst of* an unbelieving people. IV. Brings Eternal Resalta (w. 38, 39). "The fire of the Lord fell." The lying prophets of heathendom were routed. Many recognized Jehovah as the true God. While Israel did not long remember the lesson learned here, the story has contin ued as a testimony that will strengthen the people of God as long u tim? continues.
