For McGann Girl.
NURSE GIRL SAW HEIRESS.
8ays She Met Her In a Highly Nerv
ous Condition Clerk Thinks Ho
Saw Her Telephoning Was Sub
ject to Despondency Miss
Moulton Still Missing,
New York, Dec. 10. The Bcene of
tbo search for the missing Jessie Mc
Canu has switched to Coney Island.
The girl's father, together with the
squad of plain clothes men and police
men who are working In tho case, Is
now making a thorough search
throughout every rooming house and
restaurant along Surf avenue and
down the sldo streets of tho deserted
Bummer resort. A clew which the po
lice bellovo Is certain has been fur
nished by a nurse girl employed In
the house of n friend of tho McCann
family.
This nurse girl, who refused to give
her name, told tho McCann family
over the phone that she had seen the
lost girl on Thursday, on Friday and
as late as yesterday morning at 10
o'clock.
"I mot her first at noon on Thurs
day on the boardwalk at Brighton,
where I was -wheeling the baby car
riage," said tho girl. "She was nerv
ous and seemed to bo terribly excited
about something. She wouldn't tell
me what It was. I saw her again at
8 o'clock In the afternoon, nearer tho
center of Coney Island. And I saw
her the nest morning (Friday) too."
Mr. McCann and tho detectives made
a canvass of all the stores now open
at the island which contain public
telephone booths In the hopes of learn
ing who was this nurse who had tele
phoned to him. lie succeeded In get
ting a clew In tho drug store of Fred
erick Zellers on Surf avenue.
Reward Ottered.
In tho shop was a clerk named Ar
thur Effers, who related that a young
and pretty girl had telephoned from
there. She was dressed in blue and
her hat had a tall orange plume. So
did Miss McCann's when she left
home. There was another girl with
her, said the clerk, who insisted ou
remaining on the doorstep of the store
while all the telephone conversation
was going on. On Saturday tho girl
who did tho telephoning had come Into
tho store and asked Effers to direct
her to a rooming house. He gave her
tho address of a house called Kistcr
Court, but Inquiry proved later that no
girl answering such a description had
taken a room tliero lately.
A reward of 1,000 has been offered
by Thomas Jay Gleasou of 1210 Glen
wood road, Flatbush, for the arrest
and conviction of persons, if any, who
have kidnaped Miss McCann.
It was learned that the girl had been
suffering from "blues" for some time
previous to her disappearance and that
she would frequently burst into fits of
weeping on apparently no provocation
at nil.
Miss McCann became subject to
spells of melancholia two or three
months ago. She became nervous, a
very unusual thing for her, and -went
to tho family physician, Dr. Roger
Durham of 322 Park place, for treat
ment.
"She was nervous and inclined to be
morbid," said Dr. Durham. "She com
plained that she had not been able to
do as much good work as she wished.
I think it probable that she may have
wandered away In a stato of aphasia
and will be found before long."
Tho young woman is twenty-three
years old, weighs about 120 pounds, Is
five feet seven Inches tall and has a
light complexion, light brown hair and
blue eyes.
Speedy developments aro expected In
tho case of Miss Mabel Vera Moulton.
who has been missing from her home
530 West One Hundred and Fifty-sec-
ond street, since laBt Wednesday, ner
mother said that if tho girl did not re
turn homo In two hours sho would go
beforo Magistrate llouso and get a
summons for her other daughter, Mrs
Isabella ralladlno of 711 East Two
nundred and Twenty-third street. De
tectives searched tho Palladlno home,
but could find no traco of tho missing
girl. Mrs. Palladlno admitted that tho
girl ,had been with her for one day.

Lesson XI. Fourth Quarter, For
Dec. 14, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Josh, vli, 6-15.
Memory Verse, 13 Golden Text,
Numbers xxxii, 23 Commentary by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Although our lesson Is in chapter vli.
wo are asked to read to chapter xl,
ending with the words, "So Joshua
took the whole land, according to all
that the Lord said unto Moses
and tho land vested from war (xi. 23).
The section tells of the conquering and
destruction of many cities after tho
taking of Jericho, but begins with the
defeat at Al and tho reason of it.
Defeat seems strange after tho word
of the Lord to Joshua, "There shall not
any man be able to stand before thee
all tho days of thy life" (1-C), but the
fulfillment of tho Lord's promises
sometimes depends upon conditions to
be fulfilled on our part, as when
He said, "if yo abide in Me and My
words abide In you ye shall ask what
yo will and It shall bo done unto you."
(John xv, 7).
We have seen that Israel had been
forbidden to appropriate anything of
the goods of Jericho, and unknown to
Joshua there had been transgression.
Wo do not wonder that he In his igno
rance of this rent his clothes and fell
upon his face before the ark and that
he and the elders of Israel put dust
upon their heads and that he said:
"O Lord, what shall I say when Israel
turneth their backs beforo their ene
mies? What wilt Thou do unto Thy
great name?" (Verses 0, 8.)
We do well to consider whether our
name or nis name is most in our os-
timatlon. Joshua was jealous for the
honor of Jehovah. The Lord explain
ed the cause of the defeat by tho sad
announcement that Israel had sinned,
had stolon and dissembled, and Ho
said that He would not bo with them
any more until tho sin was confessed
and put away (verses 10-12). Al
though only one man had sinned, note
that tho Lord said that tho nation was
guilty. "Israel hath sinned; they have
transgressed; they have taken" (verse
11). Consider how the welfare of a
family or a church may bo affected by
tho wrongdoing of one person.
On the morrow Joshua began to
search for the guilty one, and, proba
bly by lot. the guilt was found to be
In tho tribe of Judah. Then tho fami
ly was found and then tho household
and finally the Individual, and Aehan
began to realize that his sin had found
him out (xiii, IS, and Golden Text).
Joshua then urged Achan to make
confession, which he did, and, tho
stolen things being found In his tent.
he and all his were stoned and burned
and the sin put away (xix, 20).
The valley of Achor Is .therefore
spoken of as a door of hope (Hos. ii,
15), for where there aro confession and
putting away of sin there will nlways
be blessing. Achan's confession,
saw, I coveted, I took" (verso 21),
takes us back to Eden, where Eve
saw and desired and took tho forbid
den fruit.
Our eyes affect our hearts for good
or evil (Sam. ill, 51), and wo are prouo
to follow our Inclinations; therefore
wo need to pray, "Turn away mine
eyes from beholding vanity" (Is
cxlx, 37). When we behold the beauty
of the Lord and follow Him fully, as
Caleb and Joshua did and as Simon
Peter was exhorted to do, all will bo
well (Ps. xxvll, 4; Num. xxxil, 1
John xxi, 22).
There was a secondary cause of Is
rael's defeat at Al, and that was un
derestimntlug tho enemy and thinking
that 2,000'or 3,000 men were sulllcient
to conquer such a city (verses 2-5)
When tho sin of Achan was put away
and the Lord encouraged Joshua to go
up and tako Al, saying, "Fear not; nei
ther bo thou dismayed," no also said
"Take all tho people of war with
theo" (chapter viil, 1, 2).
This time tho city was taken and de
stroyed, as fully recorded In viil, 3-29,
Then Joshua offered burnt offerings
and peaco offerings unto tho Lord
wrote a copy of the Law of Moses and
read every word beforo all the congre
gation (viil, 30-35).
Chapter 0 tells of Joshua forgettln
his Instructions from tho other cap
tain to loose his shoo from off his foot
(v, 13-15), for ho made a league with
the lying Glbeonltes without consult
ing his captalu; ho asked not counsel
at tho mouth of tho Lord (lx, 14). Wo
cannot expect that ne will direct us if
we fail to acknowledge nim (Prov
ill, C).
In chapter x, 7-43, wo learn that Gil
gal continued to bo Joshua's headquar
ters, from -which he set forth nud to
which he returned. Glbeon was a great
city, and becauso of her submission to
Isrnel five kings mado war with her
(x, 1-C).
Tho Glbeonltes appealed to Joshua
and he took all tho people of war and
all tho mighty men of vnlor and went
to their relief, for tho Lord had said to
him; "Fear them not Not a
man of them shall stand beforo thee'
(r, fl-S). After an all night march the
tnen of Israel camo suddenly upon tho
armies of tho flvo kings and slow them
with a great (daughter, and tho Lord
cast down groat stones from heaven
upon them and slow moro with hall
stones than Israel slow with tho
sword (x, 0-11).
In some miraculous way tho daylight
was prolonged till tho battlo was fully
won, for the Lord fought for Israel (x
14-42). As tho Lord commanded Mosesr,
and Moses Joshua, so did Joshua and

HOW sweetly rests this winter night
Upon a waiting earth!
Until the lift of Christmas light
Shall spread tho Christmas birth,
The curtain of the dusk bo drawn,
And sleeping hosts afar
Shall wake to read In radiant dawn
Tho message of tho start
The dawn goes marching from tho east
Across a joyous world
To usher In tho Christmas feast
'Neath Christmas fronds unfurled.
Now swiftly on the glory spreads,
The miracle fulfilled,
To bless a myriad bended heads
And souls by Christmas thrilled.
Behold it sweep a mlghty.Iand,
Long leagues of llst'nlng snow;
Prom whitened firs to where midst sand
The polnsettlas glow.
On English thatch and tile it lies,
Chateau and hut forlorn,
And frozen steppes and tropic skies
Acclaim tho Christmas morn.
No region too remote for this.
Too difficult no tongue,
Tho Christmas wreath, the Christmas
kiss,
Tho Christmas music sung. .
No heart with grace so Incomplete,
No head with ago so gray,
No hearth so poor It does not greet
Tho dawn of Christmas day.
The Citizen for 1914 will be
better than ever.
MATHEWSON'S ItECOBD BEST.
Christy TIattiewson, premier pitch
er of tho champion Giants and for
years one' of the stars of balldom,
heads list of National league pitchers
In the official averages for tho 1913
season, made public recently.
Tho New York twirler pitched in
forty games, and his record of vic
tories Is 25 as against 11 games lost.
The league leader's record Is not
calculated upon his percentage of
victories however, the system adopt
ed being essentially tho same as that
used in compiling tho American
league averages this year, based upon
the average of runs earned for gamo
of nlno innings. Tho list shows that
seventy earned runs were scored off
Mathewson, an average of 2.00 tho
game.
Babe Adams of Pittsburg, mado the
nearest approach to 'this record. Ho
won 21 and lost 10 games and the
75 runs earned off his delivery av
eraged 2.115 to the game.
