DEATH BY DRowNlNG.-The COM
munity was filed with sadness at the
receipt of news on Thursday last of
the death by drowning of Theodore
Holloway, younger son of Ex-senator
Holloway, and member of the Pre-
paratory department of Beloit Col
lege. He had been bathing in Rock
river at Beloit, and in attempting to
swim across the river became
.cramped and sank, assistance failing
to arrive in time to save him. The
body was secured without disfgnre-
ment, and funeral services were held
on Thursday in the chapel of the
college. The body was thereafter
Immediately conveyed to the home OF
the grief stricken parents here.
The funeral and burial services on
Saturday were conducted by Rev.
Burlison and were attended by
large concourse of friends. The de-
ceased was young man highly es-
teemed by all and the traits of his
manly character made strong im>
press upon those with whom he as.
ISOLATED. He was about IL years of
age. 1t is sad to realize that young
life is suddenly taken away. But
sad dispensatons are daily bringing
their instructive lesson that "all paths
lead but to the grave, and that
neither tender age, nor purity of life,
nor wealth can stay the power of
death. In this connection we append
the following resolutions of respect
and coincidence handed in for print,
passed by association by which the
deceased was an honored member
WHEREAS, Lancaster Lodge, No. 60, l. o. G.
T., has received the sad intelligence of the
death of one of its members, Bro. Theodore
Holloway, late of Beloit College, and deeming
IL
memory of the departed, be it
Resolved, That by the death of Mr.. Holloway,
family has lost a dutiful son and kind
brother, the cause of Temperance an earnest
advocate, and society promising member.
RESOLVED, That the members of Lancaster
Lodge tender the friends of the deceased their
heartfelt sympathies in this time OF their be-
reavement, and in common with all who knew
the subject OF their sorrow, sincerely regret
his early and sudden demise.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
presented for publication to the Grant County
4dyocate and the Grant County HERALD and
that the Committee be requested to give a
copy to the parents of the deceased.
Lancaster, June II, 1876.
WHEREAS, Our Father in Heaven has seen
fit to remove one of our number by death,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members Of the Mid
die class of Beloit Preparatory School, feel
deeply the loss of our classmate, Theodore
Holloway, who, though with us but a short
time, had now warm place in our hearts.
Resolued, That we sincerely sympathize with
his parents and friends in their sudden be-
reavement.
Resolved, That we send a copy of these reso-
lutions to the parents of the deceased.

Chill dren of Saints.

One has said, "Mothers of angels
walk softly;" and we may add, child.
rem of saints walk wisely. How
many of US have parents in heaven.
We remember their words of love to
usj their admonitions come back as
fresh and earnest IS when they were
first spoken, We cannot forget the
look of love in mothers eyes, her
tears, the clasping of her arms, and
her prayers for blessing upon us.
What hopes she cherished for US
hopes that sprung up before our
birth and cheered her to suffer,
watch and toll for our good. How
she tried TO shield US from harm and
teach us to avoid danger How ten.
der she was Of our feelings. Had it
been possible she would have "borne
our griefs and carried our sorrows"
she had 80 much of Christ's spirit.
But she has gone Home, and we
know that none of her love for US is
dead, for "love is of God" and is inn
mortal. We are warned of God not
to s'intrude into those things" which
his word has not revealed; but it is
no intrusion to believe my sainted
mother loves me still with all the in
tensity OF mother and a saint.
Did the selfish, hardened rich man
die, and lifting up his eyes among
the lost, cry out that one might be
sent to warn his brethren on earth,
"lest they also come to this place of
torment" did lost wretch do this ?
Then how do the redeemed yearn for
the loved ones on earth to trust in
Jesus that they may "come up high
err" Oh, yes; "the Spirit and the
Bride" are waiting.
And while my mother walks the
golden streets praising God with the
blood washed throng, the thoughts
and prayers for me that fill her heart
and mingle with her melodies, can
not know till l shall meet her there.
But the remembrance of her love and
counsel is Gods precious gift to nae
for which must yet render account
to Him. / seldom think of heaven
without this sweet thought: There |
shall see Jesus and my mother; and
there, too, my father will gladly
greet me. Then, child of saints,
walk prayerfully, live joyously, and
trust Christ perfectly.
