PAGE SIX NEWS OF THE CHURCHES The Epiest If ill Revival. When Dr. G. T. Rowe began to preach last night there was before him the larg er congregation since Sunday night and rhi* seemed to inspire him for he preached a sermon of unusual power, and the con gregation was most visibly effected. The singing drew from the Nashville preach et the statement that lie had never heard better music anywhere at this stage of meeting. Friday night is young people's night. Os course everybody of i am age is urged to come. A number of ' the preachers of various denomina tions in the city were present last night. The sermon was from the' 26th chap ter of Exodus, and took the form of answers to three questions; Why be on tlie J.ord’s side? Who is on the Lords side? and what those on the lairds side should do. The reasons given for being on that -ide were that it is the place of eoinpan iousliip with God and good people: it is the right side, it is the only place of rfety it is both temporarily and eter 'allv 'profitable, and it is the fanning l lie second ’question was answered b\ statement that everybody who sin r. ill v wants to be is on the Thirds side. Wlitii Jesus said. "He that comest unto \| will in no wise cast out." he really ineaiit what he said. Eon version, which is simply turning to God is as simple on the human as it is mysterious on the divine side. ; 1 All who arc upon the Lord’s side are called upon to come out in the open where the battle is on. When Elijah complained that he only was left. End told him that thety were seven thousand win* had not bowed to Baal. huQ they had nor been out in the open, and the prophet had been compelled to tight the battle of tin* Lord alone. Every man s hoi rid get on the Lords side; stay on it. and work for it. PASTOR. West Concord Baptist Church.

I Winchester. Ky., Oct. o.—What is con sidered a most remarkable example of brotherly love and -sacrifice will be wit nessed tomorrow when John Schumacher, farmer, 30 years old, will enter the State penitentiary to serve a term of 21 years for the murder of his father. The elder brother, it is said: accepted and even sought this sentence to save his twin ! brothers, Herbert and Hobart, 20, from i having to undergo the strain of a trial together with what might have been (duster results. Schumacher made a plea of guilty as a dramatic finale of what had promised to be a long court fight. Through an agreement with the trial court, Sch maeher shouldered the entire blame for the killing, thereby exonerating the twins, who had been under indictment as ac f complices. “I killed my father," said tin* elder Schumacher, "but 1 had to do it. and my brothers an- innocent. 1 j would rather die than see them suffer." The- brothers were greatly affected by their kinsman’s acceptance of long pun ishment to save them, as proof had strongly connected them with the case, it was alleged. They, however, had never attempted io place blame for the murder on their elder brother, but had said they knew nothin? of the actual killing, but one’said he knew John and the father had quarrelled violently; _ Sehumaher had been convicted and given a long term, but his attorneys won a rehearing. He was released under bond which friends promptly furnished. •Schumacher then went to the farming section and secured work in an effort to earn money to pay the expenses of hies new trial, but had not been able to earn much. A chain **f misfortunes had forced him to give up his position and he was not in financial condition to make another fight. Then he began to think over the matter and the serious situation facing his younger brothers became plain. His plean of guilty and acceptance of all blame followed. Schumacher seemed almost exalted in spirit when lie had been sentenced and his twin brothers released, and he re garded himself as somewhat of a martyr All their lives he had looked after the two brothers and he had determined to continue helping them. * The killing occurred on the Schumach er'farm. The father and'son quarrelled over a division of household furnishings. The two were alone in the, home when n shot was heard. A passerby went in and found the body of the elder Scliu niacher with a great hole blown through liis hack, with a shotgun. John Scliu jnfloJicr, the son. in an adjoining room. He fuade Hr tie attempt at de nial When .arrested. The prosecution claimed the twins- had beep stationed som? distance'H\vayc to prevent officials or others*- reaching the thyme. This, however, was never proven. MARIE PREYOST IN SUPER-FLAPPER PICTURE Famous Bathing Beauty in “The Beau tiful and Damned.” Since Marie I'revost quit the comedy field as a bathing beauty and hung up the raiment of the beach; she is said to have never worn such ravising clothes as ohe wears- ip "The . Beautiful and Damned." the F.^ Scott Fitzgerald novel picturized by the Warner. Brothers. It will be shown at the Pastime Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday. The flapper’s secret obsession is how to wear clothes in such a manner as to bring out every .charm she possesses. Rich girls, poor girls, all girls think of this constantly, and it must be pretty nearly true, for Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed as one of tlies twen tieth century heart-smashers. All of which brings for-tli the fact that Marie Prevost. whose chief hobby is de signing her own clothes for screen ap pearances, has a fe,w- njfty creations of latest style on display in her new starr ing vehicle, "The Beautiful and Damped." "The Beautiful and Damned" is a Itory of super-flappers and super-high fife in New York* and of Gloria Gilbert's marriage to young Anthony Patch, whose career eonsists of two things: dancing attendance on his bewitching wife and waiting for his rich grandfather to die and bequeath his millions. Jufct how wild a wild party can be is shown in this picture, presenting con trasts between the upright and puri tanical ways of the older generation and tin* giddiness of the new. For Fire Prevention Week. Raleigh, Oct.. I.—-In connection with Fire Prevention Week in North Caro lina October 8-13. the State Department of Insurance has named four general fire precautions, which, it is said, if followed, will prevent the greater number of avoid able fires, which last year caused a loss estimated to be about $35)1,303,000, The precautions named follow: "1. Industrial plants, mercantile es tablishments and homes shouldy be thoroughly inspected to determine whe ther dangerous conditions are permitted to exist. "2. General cleanliness should be a large contributing factor jn reducing fire, losses. Preventable fires seldom start in clean places. "3. Many fires in homes would result in little or no damage if first aid appa ratus, such as extinguishers, were kept handy and m readiness for service. "4. Every man, woman and child should know the location of the fire alarm box nearest to their home, place of business, or school and should learn how to turn in an alarm."

Motion pictures of the battle of the • century are now being shown in a num ber of the leading New York theatres. ’’ These pictures show conclusively that > Dempsey didn’t waste any sportsman > ship on the visitor from the Argentine.

At one > time lie stepped right over the ’fallen body of his foe and assumed a position ’ only a few feet away, awaiting Firpo to > arise. • Referee Johnny Gallagher certainly r ' was kind to Dempsey.

In one boat Is Cap tain Knutxen, Ned, Lenore and Bess, a seamstress. Land Is sighted by the captain and a man meets them at the edge of the shore. When they land the man tells them his name is Doomsdorf and that he has named the island “Hell.** Ned helps Lenore to Doomsdorfs cabin and Bess is left with .Captain Knutzen. Doomsdorf sets the life boat adrift and. when Knutzen tries to save it, Doomsdorf shoots the captain dead. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY She fought back the instinct to scream out her story from the door way. At the bidding of an instinct so sore and true that it partook of a quality of infallibility, she checked her wild pace before she crossed the threshold. Everything depended on Ned and the cool, strong quality of Ned’s nerves. She caught her breath In a curious deep gasp, then stepped into the room. Then that gasp became very nearly a sob. The way of deliverance was not clear. A wrinkled native wo man, an Aleut or an Eskimo, who was evidently Doomsdorfs wife, looked up at her with dark inscrut able eyes from the opposite side of the room. The whole picture went home to Bess in a glance. Lenore was hud «ed in a chair before the stove, yielding herself to the blessed warmth, already shaking off the semi-apathy Induced by the night’s Chill. But as yet there was no hope In her. She was shivering, helpless, impotent. Ned bent over her, his arms about her, now and then giving her sips from a cup of hot liquid that he held lit his hand. His care, his tender solicitude, struck Bess with a sense of unutterable irony. Evidently he bad no suspicion of the real truth. He looked up as Bess entered. Part ly because the light was dim, partly because he was absorbed in the work of caring for Lenore to the exclusion of all other thought, he failed to see the drawn look of horror on Bess' face. **lll need a little help here. Miss Gilbert,” he said. “I want to get this girl to bed. The night seemed to go harder with her than with the rest of us, and rest is the beat thing for her.” Bess almost sobbed aloud. At that instant she knew she must work alone. She must give no sign of her own desperation before this stolid squaw. And yet she almost screamed with horror when she real ized that any second she might hear Doomsdorfs step on the threshold. She glanced about till sfie located the Russian's rifle, hung on the wall al most in front of the squaw’s chair. “Did you hear a shot?” she ask-d. With all the powers of her spirit, she kept her voice commonplace. ca. has been flooded and the tire apparently was under control at 7 o’clock today aboard the freighter Diana Dollar, it was report ed by Captain Anderson in radio advices received here by the Federal Telegraph Co. marine station.

The fact that there were no shells In the rifle —otherwise a desperate agent of escape—seemed nothing less than the death of hope. She heard Doomsdorfs heavy step at the door. The man came in, for an instant standing framed by the doorway, the light of morning behind him. He turned contemptuously to Ned. “What’s the matter?" he asked. Startled and Indignant at the tone, Ned instinctively straightened. “I didn’t say anything was the nut ter. Where’s Knutsen?” “Knutsen—has gone on.

I hope it doesn’t happen again—I would hate to lose any more of you. I've other plans In mind.” Appalled, unbelieving, yet obeying a racial instinct that goes beck to the rootß of time. Ned dropped the girl from his arms and leaped to his feet. His eyes blazed with a magnifi cent burst of fury, and a mighty oath was at his lips. ‘‘You—” he began. Yet no second word came. Dooms dorfs great body lunged across the room with the ferocity and might of a charging bear. His arm went out like a Javelin, great fingers extended, and clutched with the effect of a mijrftiv mechanical trap the younger j man s throat. He caught him as he might catch a vicious dog he intend led to kill, snatching him off ills feet. ; Ned's arm lashed out fmpotently, fund forcing through with his own 'body.

Th» squaw had not sat supine la this stress. With the swiftness and dexterity of an anirmd, g be had sprang to Intercept ths'dc&dly blow hurling the girl back by her upon the latter’s shoulder. Except for the huddled heap In the blood-spattered corner of the cabin, It was as ls It bad never happened. The squaw was again stolid, moving slowly back to her chair; Doomsdorf breathed quietly and evenly. The two girls stood staring in speechless honor. **l hope there won’t be any moze of that," Doomsdorf said quietly. The sooner we get these little mat ten straightened out, the better for all concerned. It Isn’t pleasant to be hammered to pieces. Is It?” He took one step toward Ned, and Lenore started to scream again. Bat be inflicted no further punishment He reached a strong band, seized Ned’s shoulder, and snatched him to his feet. Racked by pain but.fully conscious, Ned looked Into the glittering eyes. It was no longer possible to dis believe In this hairy giant before him. Doomsdorf walked to the door and threw it wide. “There’s snow and cold eat there." His voice was deeply sober. “Death, too—sure as you’re standing here. A weakling like you can’t live In that, out there. None of your kind can stand it —they'd die like so many sheep. And as a result you have to bow down and serve the man that can!" Ned had no answer. The greatest fear of his life was clamping down upon him. “That’s the law up here— that the weak have to serve the strong. I’ve beat the North at Its own game, and It serves me. Just as you’re going to serve me now. You can go ont there If you like—if you prefer to die. There’s no boat to carry you off. There never will be a boat to carry you off.” He paused, smiling grimly; then with an explosive motion, pulled back the lid of the stove and threw in another log. “Sit down, why don't you?” he invited. "I don’t Insist on my servants standing up always In my presence. You'll have to sit down sometime, you know.” Lenore, wholly despondent, sank : back In her seat. To show that he | was still her protector. Ned stood be- j hind her, his hands resting on the j back of her chair. Bess stole to 1 little rough seat between them and ■ the squaw. A single great chair was left va cant, almost in the middle of the \ circle. Doomsdorf glanced once j about the room as if guarding against j any possibility of surprise attack by = his prisoners, then sat down easily \ himself. "Excuse me for not mak ing you known to my women.” ks j began. “In fact, I haven't even j learned your own names.
