Sprridl T,lsgrdBl 10 the Sunday Register.
The saddest event that has occurred in
Steubenville for years, was the death Of
DIR. VIM. NJ. Grimes, on last Tuesday
morning. He had only been i'll few
drys, and while it was known that his i'll
ness was serious, all hoped it would not
result disastrously. The deceased was
born in Wheeling township, Belmont
county, Ohio, September %, 1921. He
received in his youth, such an education
rs was to be obtained at that time in the
public schools, which was alterwaCd sup
plemented by n course ut Franklin college,
Near Athens, Ohio, where he graduated In
1874. After teaching school in Indiana,
Illinois and Kentucky, he took n theolog-
ical course of two years at the Western
Theological Seminary. He was licensed
TO preach in 1850, by the st. Clairsville
Presbytery. His first charges were at
Centerville, and Evansville, Belmont
county, which he left to accept call
to the Presbyterian church OF CadIz
on July 4, 1896. He remained
in charge of the congregation until 1876,
when he received a call to the First Pres
byterian Church in this city. At that
time the First Church was was in bad fl
nancial condition, and its membership
was disrupted, and it was only on the
earnest declaration of its leading members
that he was the one man to save the
church from utter decay, that he was in
dueed to give up his Cadiz charge and
come here He believed it was a call from
God and he obeyed the summons as COM
ing from Him. He has done noble work
BY reunitiug the membership, freeing the
church from its burdensOme debt and
making it once more one Of the leading
religious bodies Of Ohio. DR.. Grimes was
the last moderator of the Ohio Synod, be-
ing elected in 1885 at the session held in

SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE,
Deacon HoIyboy's Remarks at the Prayer
Meeting Contrasted With His business
Remarks Next Day.
AT THE PRAYER MEETING.

AT THE PRAYER MEETING.
The thought suggested to me this even
ing by our pastors remarks-and it is one
which very often forms the subject of my
meditatiOns-is that we are too often, far
too often, inconsiderate of the feelings to
Others. we are told that we should con-
slider the frailties and foibles of the aged,
and this duty is impressed upon
all of us; but we are not
often thOughtlcss and unsympathetic in
our intercourse with the young, with
those dependent upon us, and whose future
lives we are unconsciOusly moulding by
our words and example? Above all,
brethren, speak gently TO the young.
Strive to lead them by the silken cords of
love rather than by the CALLING chains of
-er-er-slayery." (Murmurs of Isn't
that beautifully Speak kindly to those
who are dependent upon you; if you have
occasion to reproye them, do it quietly and
afiectiOnately, and in words which will
sOOthe rather than irritate, and which may
sink deep into their hearts and bring forth
abundant fruit. BY a word Carelessly
spoken we may influence for good or evil
the whole life of another being. Think.
then, how heavy is our responsibility, how
careful we should be in our intercourse
with all about us, especially with the
young and impreSsiOnable. And by our
actions rs well as our words should we
strive to influence those who look to us
for guidance. We should live upright
and stainless lives; we should choose for
our associates only the pure and noble.
Let us do all this, and in the end it shall
be said of us, etc.
