struggle near croma north rhodesia about 130 miles north of victoria falls the lion had escaped from a trap and the missionary went after it with a borrowed rifle and a shot gun in company with a number of natives when mr taylor came upon the ani mal he fired three times but for somo reason every shot missed the mark whereupon the lion sprang up on the deceased knocking him down the missionary tried to fight off the attacks with his foot but the lion bit off the foot and in the subse quent struggle chewed off both of liis hands as the missionary lay helpless the lion ambled away and in a short time the natives who had fled away upon seeing the skirmish returned to the scene and tying up the wounds of their master they carried him upon a stretcher for 30 miles to his home where he died the next day remaining conscious to the end rev myron taylor had a congre gation at one time at gormley but had served in africa for 24 years the mission on which he labored was opened by miss h francis davidson an aunt to mrs c e heise of gormley and by mrs myron taylor then miss ada englo in the year 190c and in 1907 mr taylor took up his duties helper at this mission station on november 4th 1909 mr taylor nd miss engle were united in marriage by bishop j n engle who was sent to inspect the work of the brethren in christ church on the african and indian mission fields at this time during the intervening years the late mr taylor had several en counters with lions accounts of which are recorded in the book en titled south and south central africa of which miss h frances davidson is the author and which is in a number of homes i this section in 1921 rev d w heise of gormley visited the taylor family in their african home during an inspection trip made in conjunction with bishop c n hostetter of pennsylvania mr lewis steckley eldest son of the late rev peter steckley formerly of bethesda labored in this field for several years and cecil cullens grandson of mr ira baker of gormley along with his wife and family are at present with the taylor family having received their appointment to that field only about two months ago rev r h mann who spoke in the heise hill church a month ago spent throe years in the same mission station the late mr taylor leaves a wife and two daughters one daughter just arriving in new york about two weeks ago for a stay in america mr taylor died at choma about 130 miles north of living stone which is at victoria kails and named after david livingstone who discovered the falls in 1850 the sad news has come as great shock to the foreign mission board of the brethren in christ and to the whole church which the de parted has so faithfully served the question arises who will come for ward and take his place let him come forward who will count not his life dear unto himself and is willing to sacrifice it in the wilds of africa not for a big salary or fame but that the neglected peoples of the earth might be enlightened death of the valiant for the truth my sword i give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage and my courage and skill to htm that can get ii my marks and scars i carry with me to be a wit ness for me that i have fought his battles who will now be my re- warder so he passed over and all the trumpets sounded for them on tho other side droop halfmasted collarsbow bare headed crowds as this plain coffin oer the side is slung to pass by woods of masts and rat- lined shrouds as rest by africas trunks liana- hung tls tne last mite or many tnousands trod with failing strength but never- failing will by the worn frame now at its rest with god that never rested from its fight with ill or if the ache of travel and of toil would sometimes wring a short sharp cry of pain from agony ot fever blainand boil twas but to crush it down and on again he knew not that the trumpet ho had blown out ot the darkness of that dis mal land had reached and roused an army of its own to strike the chains from the slaves fettered hand now we believe he knows sees all is well how god had stayed his will and shaped his way to bring the light to those that darkling dwell with gains that lifes devotion well repay open the abbey doors and bear him in to sleep with king and statesman chief and sage the missionary came of weaverkin but great by work that brooks on lower wage he needs no epitaph to

store school discipline a question frequently asked f young teacher is can you keep order the fact is a ruial teacher has to learn to keep order accord ing to the principle taught at normal school learn to do by do ing it rests with the young teachers personality and ingenuity whether shell succeed in managing from twenty to forty pupils of different temperaments and having varied home training in one sense all pupils are expected to submit to conduct according to a certain standard yet the teacher must study ndividuals and apply her psychology to particular cases think ot the skill it requires to manage all the grades in a rural school while teaching one grade she supplies all the other grade with practice work to keep them busy at their seas yes just here lies the secret of order in the school can you keep order can you keep every child interested and busy every hour and every minute of the school day then at intermission tho pupils enjoy a respite from their studies the teacher also enjoys relaxation from the strain of keeping the school machinery in smooth running order happy she is if sin lias enough spirit and sport to go out and play with the children there may be times when she feels more like retiring to her room and spend the recess in complete relaxation then if there are any yard disputes to settle another task calls for her skill and wisdom how ofien she wishes the school hoard would pro vide a playground supervisor how grand that would ho the school law gives the teacher control over the scholars on the road to and from school this is deemed advisable as parents wouldnt care to sit in judgment upr on their neighbors children when their own are involved so the little country schoolman has to deal with some pretty knotty road problems
