Hears Sermon
By Telephone.
Recently a revival meeting
was held in Dardanelle which
created much talk among the citi
zens. Practically everyone in
the Yell county metropolis was
attending the meetings, and this
fact caused much worry to a
young woman of the town who
was too sick to leave her bed.
She too wanted to hear the gos
pel as expounded by the evange
list. Her wishes came to the
ears of the manager of the local
telephone exchange, a part of the
Southwestern system, and he
very promptly installed a tele
phone at the church, leaving the
instrument on the pulpit. Thus
the young woman was permitted
to rest upon her couch and listen
to the sermon. Later other sick
folks were served in the same
manner, and all were extremely
grateful to the telephone com
pany for its thoughtfulness of t]he
sick ones.

Quick Service.
The accuracy of the postal au
thorities in delivering letters
with inadequate address, has
long been a marvel, but nothing
-in the chronicles of postal history
will approach the achievements
of the telephone operators who
handle long distance calls.
An excellent example was a re-j
cent call. A party was wanted, |
but his name could not be given. ;
After close questioning the oper
ator learned that the man was
“a long, slim fellow with a cut
over his eye, and his wife picks a
guitar.” The man was found
and the call completed.
A still more recent call was
handled at Newport. A Mrs.
Hart was wanted, and the opera
tor was told that it was a matter
of life and death. All the infor
mation that could be given \yas
that the woman lived in the coun-1
try near some one who had a tele
phone. In less than an hour Mrs.
Hart had been informed of the
death of her father by drowning
and was on her way to Newport.
A speaker at the recent meet
ing of the State School Directors’
in Little Rock declared that rob
bing children of the opportunity
to secure an education was on a
par with failing to provide food
I and raiment for one’s own house
i hold; in other words, an act of
I infidelity to the Lord. Therefore
he said, opposition to Amend
ment No. 12 could be classed as
nothing less than heathenish,
provided onte thoroughly under
stood its intent.
