In great fear he fell to his knees, bowed his head and raised his hands in supplication, while his lips fever- ishly murmured a babel of strange prayers to all the most sacred deities tolave mercy upon. him, so that he might yet eat rice and curry in the bosom of his family., As the flivver shot forward to take the last of the hills on high the com- motion, while yet afar off, attracted the terrorized attention of a farmer. Here was a new sort of devil to wor- ship. When Mr. Rupley received at the railway station in Ranchi, 200 miles inland from Calcutta, a large pack- age of new slides to be used with the stereopticon, his enthusiasm was great. At once he packed machine and slides . to his little motor car and startec?n out for Chainpur, 100 miles farther into the hills and 50 miles from a railroad. The particular one, first used in India as an idol, was furnished by the Lutheran Council for the use ot the Rev. G. A. Rupley, Lutheran mis- sionary at Ranchi, Bengal.' The sta- tion is one tron? which German mis- sionaries were barred during the war. It has been turned over by the British Government of India to the Lutherans to support and operate. They are made of tin and iron and vanadium steel and are the most peculiar idol which has yet been seen in India. The idol, which iss about six feet wide and six feet high, has large luminous eyes shaded with green eyelids, and a voice which is hoarse and raucous and which ter- rorizes all those who hear it. The body is painted black. It is a “fliy- ver". People in India are turning from Brahminism and Animism, and pass- ing by, without a thought, Christ- ianity with all ot its higher teach- ings, to take up new forms of idol worship. The new" idols are not lab- oripusly carved out ot ebony or jade in a dark, dingy corner of the priest's thatch-hut, nor are they fashioned or sacred clay from the banks of the nearby stream. The death occurred in Toronto on Tuesday,. August 15, 1922, of William Henry House in his 83rd year. He . was stricken with paralysis and died . in a few moments. Mr. House was born in Grimsby the eldest son of l Joseph and Louisa House and learn- /ti the moulding trade in the shops tot the late John H. Grout. He mar- llried in 1864 Hannah Kemp (a sister :01: the late T. A. Kemp) and daugh- ter of Robert Kemp who pre- 'deceased him many years, and later married Etta Graham of Chesley. On his first marriage lie took up [farming on The Thirty mountain, moving from there to Barrie where he ran a shoe store for some time. He then went on the road for' the IMcLaren shoe people and returned to Grimsby and shortly afterward bought a fruit farm on the corner of Nelles road. While in Grimsby he) ran a livery in connection with the old Mansion House for several years land then removed to Port Dalhousie, iand went into the hotel business, from which place he moved to To- ronto and retired several years\ ago. Surviving are his widow, eight daughters and three sons, two bro- thers and two sisters. Those of his first family are Mrs. Richard Shan- non of Grimsby, Mrs. A. F. Michener ‘of Grand Forks, B. C., Mrs. Paul Merritt of Beamsville, Mrs. Wilfred 1L. Haist of Grimsby, “Mrs. A. E. Booker of Kenora, and William H.
