DEATH OPENS DOOR FOR MURRY GULLONS, "SMILING Hopeless Cripple Who Brought Sunshine to Other Lives Succumbs to Heart Attack. Murry Gullons, the hopeless cripple and shut- who taught a little lesson to those who cared to heed it of optimism under great adversity and humility of spirit under affliction, is dead. The raven tapped constantly at his chamber door year after year, but he turned it away with a laugh. He died of heart failure at his home, 708 Park last night.
Murry had one priceless asset, and that was a smile that would never down. He was known as "the man with the laughing He had little enough to laugh at. for he was condemned to pass his 34 years within four bare walls. In this constricted world he set about making his existence "move along like a. song." Every blow he met with a grin.
It was neighborhood gossip that not a stranger passed his window twice without finding hiself on speaking terms with the cripple. Much of the time he lay in bed and when he did move it was in a wheel chair, but he made the universe over for himself so that it became a grand place. He reviewed the Comedie Humaine from his dusty windows and found something there that others missed. He peopled his world with knights, fair ladies and splendid cavaliers he drew from his books which he appealed for every year at Christmas time through The Eagle. His philosophy of life was expressed in a quaint little rhyme of which he was the author: am a shut-in.
I cannot walk; I lie on my couch all day. I read, I write, I sing to myself; I try to be happy and gay." He tried to such good purpose that nobody went forth from his presence without catching the contagion of his cheerfulness. "I never let the blues get the best of me," he said once to a friend. "That's my big fight. If they do get me they'll have to go some," and he flashed his unconquerable smile.
He even found humor in his affiction. He called his two useless legs "the two pals," and he explained that they had simply "gone on strike." Never a Christmas appeal of his for letters and books which was not followed by a deluge. For this boon he always gave thanks. Often he signed himself "Your smiling crippled griend." and in that way he touched other Ives, preaching a simple little sermon. His wheel chair was his Twice in his life he had seen the sea and hoped wistfully that some day he would be able to look upon its tumbled water again.
His life was full of disappointments, but he met each one with this nugget of philosophy, "If we didn't have rain how could we appreciate the sunshine?" One of the strangest sights was to see this hopeless cripple comforting the sound of limb. He a little formula which ran, "Never mind, tomorrow there will be another day, pop," and it worked like a charm. "Laughing did not hear the sea call again, but who knowsperhaps "listening love heard the rustle of an angel's wing." ASKS FOR BIBLES FOR USE IN RUSSIA An appeal for 5,000.000 Bibles and Testaments. a9 well as 1,000 missionaries from the Christian churches in America, to be sent immediately to Russia, was made last night at a mass meeting at Greenwood Baptist Church, 7th ave. and 6th by G.

"Now they have liberty to some extent for the preaching of Jesus Christ and the distribution of the Bible.
The Soviet Government has given Russia liberty for preaching the Gospel and preachers must be sent.

Grippe Physicians advise keeping the bowels open as a safeguard against Grippe or Influenza. When you are constipated, not enough of Nature's lubricating liquid is produced in the bowel to keep the food waste soft and moving.
