\ STRANGE FUNERAL.
I attended funeral in this village
not long ago of q man eighty-three
years old, who had always lived in
this town. lie was a man of more
than ordinary intelligence, Of good
character and had no enemies. His
wife died many years ago. his only
daughter more recently, and his two
sons are in the West. He lived by
himself, was helped by his sons and
tie good people here who had regard
for him, and not relative or kindred
saw him die or attended his funeral
He was cared for in his last brief sick
ness by other than kindred hands, and
in the procession that followed him to
the tomb there was not drop Of
kindred blood, nor Il relative nearer
than members Of the common family of
of God. Yet he was well cared for
and dcccntly cntombed, and around the
tomb stood many Of the most respect
able men in our village when the last
rites were performed that the living
owe to the dead. That strange funeral
spoke more than words Of praise for
the humanity, hospitality and charity
of the people of Woodstock. b. NJ. 7.

The Salvation Army did not come
here dressed in purple and fine linen,
with plenty of scrip, consequently they
were treated very much as the Messiah
was by the Jews, by our protesting
christians, and had it not been for the
"heathen," who were the first to aid
them, they would have suffered there
is a lack of true religion here-the
religion taught ly Jesus among our
church-going folks.-Ed. A. Perry of
