Apparently there was no comparison in relative opportunities for service, but the child won attention. It was a mat­ ter of life or death with her, where­ as the crowd could be taught an­ other day. The earnestness of the father, Jairus, had its effect. He fell at the feet of Jesus and pleaded saying: “My little daughter lieth at the point of‘tleath: come and lay hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” Who could resist such a touching appeal? Certainly not Jesus who loved children. He turned from the teaching opportun­ ity to save a home from sorrow Sickness presented greater immed­ iate urgency than education.

' from the town of Exeter. * Huron County at that time was a dense woods, with few settlers, and. .very little cleared land. As a conse­ quence Granny has shared to the full all the hardships of that pioneer period. Money was very scarce; there were no luxuries; indeed it was only with the greatest difficulty that the barest necessities of life i were to be had. Log houses, clinked with mud or plaster, with a ‘trough roof and crude, home-made furiture were all. the “luxuries” they asked for in those far-off days. Homespun flannels in various colors and de­ signs were made up into the cloth­ ing for the women, while the home- woven “full-cloth” was the fashion for the men, with corduroy for their “best.” The latest styles were the least of their worries, and yqt, the people were happy “just a little 'ap-- pier than they is today.” And why not? i I Mr. Mutart saw a robin yesterday Snell & White shipped 16 fine horses Thursday.

Especial­ ly heartrending is it when there is a race against time and a life ebbs out before help arrives. As Jesus walk­ ed with Jairus, from the house synagogue that ed. Jairus was word was brought of this ruler of the death had conquer- dumb with sorrow and disappointment, but' Jesus re­ mained calm. He said to Jairus: “Be not afraid, only believe.” Tc tell a stricken father who had just learned of his daughter’s death tc overcome fear with faith, might have appeared heartless in another, but something in the tone and bearing of Jesus gave Jairus confidence. His one hope was in Jesus.

Customs, 37-39 The difference Christ has made plainly seen in the contrast between ancient and modern funeral custom In the house of Jairus, as in the East generally when death has come were professional mourners whq wept and wailed. They were paid' to make a show of sorrow. Jesus put the wailers out. They were not practical; they could do nothing but wail, and that only made matters far worse. If all those who have used the depression only as an accasion tc complain and explain, had tried tc cure it, the blight of gloom might have lifted ere now. The day lias passed for wailers: what is needed is planners capable of “masterful ad- ministartion of the unforeseen.’ Sympathy is helpful but it cannot’ be well’ expressed by wailing. /Many followers of Christ are( dry-eyed in time of bereavement, not that they do not suffer, but fear has given place to faith.

For it is here that the tragedies of The rav­ ages of disease in such scattered communities, where'rthey were miles 1 from a doctor, and in which crude home remedies often added to the torture of the afflicted is a chapter of history that is not always taken ifito account. Diphtheria, scarlet fe­ ver, cholerp., typhoid fever and other infectious diseases mace terrible in­ roads upon their homes, taking aw­ ful toll before the doctor could be secured. Poor Granny, while still very young, twice became the victim of such conditions. First, she lost her mother when only 14 years old, and . her mother had just passed her 34th birthday. Four children were left motherless, 'Granny being the oldest and it became her duty to assume responsibility for the younger onfes all of a very tender age. Then, while in the employ of a friend, she was stricken down wjith scarlet fever, during which she suffered with a violent ear-ache. Resort to home remedies, while sometimes effective were often disastrous, as it was in this case. The friend with whom she was staying poured turpentine into her ears! Whether it was cur­ ative or not, for she has been forc­ ed to spend the greater part of hei I long years, stone deaf as a result Her handicap, however had add­ ed to the romance of her life, foi she has learned the art of lip-read­ ing, not according to the’ methods of any institution, but in her own way When Granny had brought hei own six children into the world, tra­ gedy again stalked across her path­ way, this time to take away her hus­ band, who had just reached liif prime. She has been 40 years a widow! Notwithstanding all the du­ ties of home and family, she was al­ ways ready to lend a helping hand to those sick- and suffering. Indeed, it was in the dealm of ser­ vice that her life has excelled, and her proficiency is best known. She 'was a “born nurse!” Besides her nu­ merous ministries to sick folks, suf­ fering with the common maladies of the time, "she had presided with matchless success over the arrival of no less than 102 babies in the world —a great many of them without even the'assistance of a physician. Today her proud boast is that thro’ it all she has never lost a case Every baby lived and tnrived und -r her care and good management More than tha,t not a mother was lost in the ordeal. And those who knew here best tell us that no kind­ lier or more thoughtful nurse ovei stepped into a sick room, for she seemed to anticipate every need of her patient and was able to read their wishes from their lips, if it was only a whisper. Granny Heywood is marvel of womanhood community.
