Miller County Liberal ms A Lettei From Rev. Claude Bridges Birmingham. Ala. Sept. 9th, 1925. Dear Folk:— Some of yon have heard of the awful accident which happened in ; onr family last Wednesday night, I and some of you haven’t I am writing this to all my loved ones and friends, and trying to give the exact account of the whole thing, and of Ideua’s condition at thie“ time. Emma and I had stopped atone of the deacon’s homes and was talk ing over some of the church work with him aud wife. The children had just come from a B. Y. P. U. training school at the First chinch Ws told them to go on home, and go to bed, because Frier has to get up so early each am to get to his work. They went on, and when they got there the cat turned* ver some thing in tho kitchen. Frier pre tended that he thought it was a burg lar, got the pistol and went in the kitchen, but findin » the little girls were on to his tiicks,came back into the room pointing the pistol aldif ferent objects in it,* and clicking the hammer at ’.he light pictures etc. While doing this, and while passing Idena’s body, the pistol was discharged and the bail entered the child’r breast just above her heart Idenaaaid: ‘'Mama, I don’t see how it hit me, Frier never pointed th* pistol at me at all.” But it hit her, passed through her body directly through her left lung and shoul der blade. The ball missed all the bones and big blood vessels, which is miraculous. We carried her to the hospital, and she just did fine, much b-tter than the Dr., or anyone expected, I under the circumstances, ti'l yester day Her fever began to run up, and she was in scuh pain that she] could neither eat or sleep, and it] pained her very much to breath . Os course, we were very uneasy | The Dr. thought it was going to] be necessary to operate to drain j the puss from the lung. But when he came this afternoon, Idena’a temperature was normal, and she appeared to be much better every way. We feel that God, who so won derfully over rules, is going to con tinue to answer prayer, and that she will be spared unto us; howev er, we oan say His will be dune, and that Hie grace is sufficient in this time of trial. And, dear loved ones, we can say as never before, THAT JESUS IS REaL. Please unite with us in prayer I that out little darling may get well sue strong, that her life may be a , great blessing to the world, and for i po jr dear Frier, ( He is so crushed.) ; that through this awful experience | be may learn obedience. He had been told often not to handles gon, but boy like, he though there was no danger. We’re praying that he will learn obedience not only to bis earthly parents, but God as well, aud thdt WATCH COLQUITT GROW THE LEADING CITY OF SOUTHWET GEORGIA Liberalities I Socials, Locals, and Personals. i Mr. J C.
