 JOHN xr; Il, 12.-Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;
 if he sleep, he shall do well.
 Jesus said "sleepeth" He might have said is dead" but he chose the other term. It was not till he saw that he was not understood, that he said plainly Lazarus is dead" In like manner when Jesus came to the house of Jairus he said, ''The maid is not dead but sleepeth." We read also of Stephen, that Che fell asleep" It was favorite term and is applicable to all who die in the Lord.
 The word Cemetery" means sleep ing place" The grave yards are the worlds cradles where it lays away it's troubled children to rest As I stand by the coffin of a Christian friend and look on the face of the silent dead, I say, For so he giveth his beloved sleep" Why did Jesus choose this word? What makes it so precious? How is it that it touches the universal heart? The answer comes from the resemblance of sleep to death, from what we know sleep to be to the body, and especially because there is to be waking again. Death and the Resurrection are twin truths The heathen divorce them and bury their dead as if there were to be no rising again. ''But, writes the apostle, 'I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow moi even as others which have no hope l For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also whicl sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. , So then as we look down on the form that lies here, we say,
 'sAsleep in Jesus Blessed sleepi
 From which none ever wake to weep!''
 "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth. '1f Il, sleep he shall do we'll"
 | We cannot mourn with extreme bit terness when one attains to ripe olt age and having served his own genera tion, by the will of God falls asleep We must view him rather as the victo who sees the battle ended, or the servan who is released from his labors by tn shadows of the night. It is but tn gathering of the ripened harvest; it the rounding out of completed, life Still we mourn at the loss of goodnes gone. We weep to behold the vacane -in our society and dwelling. We griev for the communions that earth shall n more know. The late Dr Spring sal that that which affected him most ser sibly after the death of his parents wa that he had lost their prayers. So W can ill afford to lose from the churc
 or our homes those who have been wor to remember us in their prayers. Some , times it seems as if the death of a chil 8 or an aged person were of little accour B beyond the home circle and narro' 3 sphere. But no child lives in vail t Tiny fingers may pull on heart string and bring to fruitfulness parents Tiff and the usefulness of men who hay passed out of view may be seen in tl i. blessings that descend upon others h answer to their prayers.

doubts that the reorganization IN

SOFAS. The late President of the Uni.
versity then came within one vote OF
being defeated. And OF the
twelve trustees who voted last
month to have him resign, one was

were nearly equally divided in the
quarrel last summer-between the
trustees and the professors. But
they then united In hostility to the
president, and in.re-electing pro
fessors who bad quarreled with q
large majority Of the trustees. In
carrying out that hostility untrue
statements were made privately to
trustees and publicly in the news
papers, just as if % political cams
palgn like that of-1S77 were going
on. Among such statements was
one reported by the Knoxville corA

and left his family poor) had been
