MRS. DEBORAH BARGER.

At her home in Loami, Sangamon Co., ILL.,,
Jan. IA, 1888, in the ninety fourth year of
her age. She was born at Hebron, N. H.,
in July, 1874. Her maiden name was De-
borah Phelps, and she married Abel Colburn,
in April, 1911, at Hebron. N. ID. Mr.. Col
burn was soldier in the war of 1872 with
England, and making a final settlement with
his family in Sangamon county, died at
Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 81, 1851, and Mrs. Col
burn married Adam Barger. Mrs. Barger
had nine children, who we're born at Hebron,
N. H., and about 1910 she, with her family,
came to Sangamon county, ILL.,, where she
has since resided. Deborah Barger was not
an ordinary woman. In body and mind she
was very strong, and when at last her once
large and magnificent frame became some
what bent and time-worn, her mind was still
good and her judgment clear, and so she con-
tinued till she closed her eyes on Saturday,
Jan. IA, 1888, aud calmly fell asleep, as
though it was but for night, instead of the
long slumber of ages. The remains we're
carried to the church, where large audience
assembled, and the funeral discourse from
Luke Xxx. 50, sc, was preached by DR.. R. q.
Bayly, of Springfield, after which this good
woman, whose whole life was devoted to
Universalism, was laid to rest in the ceme-
terry near Loami, leaving legacy of devo-
ton, faith and good works to her children
and the world that will shine like the stars
forever.

PARABLE OF THE LOST SHEEP.

SEEKING THE L0sT.-The humble and
lowly amongst his countrymen were the lost
sheep whom JESUS came to save (xv. pa.
The common people who focked to his min
istry in Galilee he characterized as shepherd
less sheep, being without interested religious
guides. These he would GEEK to gather into
his heavenly fold. Among these he found
his most faithful disciples, and from them
he selected his consecrated Apostles. JESUS
illustrates his and the Fathers interest in
the lowly of mankind by the parable of the
Lost Sheep. Having hundred sheep and
one of them wanders away from the flock,
the shepherd would leave the ninety and nine
and go on the mountain to seek the lost and
perishing one. In Luke's report of the
same parable, recorded as spoken upon
another occasion, the shepherd is represent
ed as seeking the lost one until it is found;
when he lifts it upon his shoulder and re-
joicingly carries it to the fold (xv. 4, 81. The
shepherd of the parable represents Jesus,
who represented himself as the Good Shep-
herd (John K. 11-16). Will he be less faith
full than the shepherd of his own parable?
Will he ever be content to leave one sheep
out of the fold forever viii the repeated
aud persistent wandering of the wilful and
perverse of his flock so weary his divine pa
thence that he will no longer carry them ION
his shoulders rejoicing2"
REJOICING OVER THE FOUND.-The
shepherd of the parable is represented as re-
joicing more over the one that was found than
over the ninety and nine which did not go
astrsy. His rejoicing is made to represent the
SOY in heaven over one repentant sinner more
than over the ninety and nine persons who
have no need of repentance" (Luke xv D..
Will the capacity of heaven for Joy be sati-
ated unless every sinner repents and turns to
GoD? Will it fully rejoice over those already
in the fold, so long as there are any to be
brought in? Will the Shepherd ever rest from
his labor of Divine love so long as even one
of his sheep remains outside of heaven? Sup
pose they will not repent, that is only sup
posing that they will continue lost. To be

THE OHILD-LIKE BELIEVER.

DIVINE FELLOWSHIP Oontinuing his
instruction by the illustration, JESUS enfold-
ed the little child in his arms Mark tx. 49,,
and said, "Whoever shall receive such little
children in my name receives me: and who
ever receives me receives also Him who sent
me-" To receive the humble aud lowly to the
hospitality of your hearts is to entertain the
spirit of CHRIST and GoD, and to enjoy the
Divine fello wship. CHRIST chose even his
disciples, who are now disputing about their
relative rank, from among the lowly. And
the kingdom of heaven must be advanced in
the world by exalting the humblest and low
est to an active consciousness of their true
dignity as children of GoD. 1t is the special
duty and privilege of the Sunday school
teacher to receive children in the name of
CHRIST; to welcome them into the kingdom
of heaven, and to instruct them in its prin-
ciples of duty aud conditions of blessedness.
The reward is the fellowship and felicity of
the Divine Spirit.
THE WICKEDNESS OF TEMPTING
CHRIST's LITTLE oNEs.-While great re-
ward and felicity are promised those who
should heartily welcome to Christian fellow
ship the humblest believers, terrible retri-
button will await those who tempt such lowly
disciples to apostatizs, or be led into sin, or
more probably, those who seek to advance
themselves by debasing their humber and
weaker brethren. at is profitable for him
who shall cause one of these childlike believ-
ers to stumble, that great milestone should
be hanged about his neck, and that he should
be cast into the lake." There is apparent
irony in the language of JESUS. He that
seeks to profit himself by denying to Others
their privileges, or by destroying them, shall
be profted by an awful destruction o. his
own coveted gains. The described terrible
penalty is employed to characterize the awful
wickedness of those who seek for ambitious
ends the downfall of others, especially the
weak and guileless. While it is truly noble
to seek to guide the young into the ways OF
virtue and true happiness, it is awfully wick
ed for any kind of gain to ensnare them in
evil habits and lead them into temptation
and sin. From Marks fuller record it ap-
pears that JESUS reference to causing child
like believers to stumble was in response to
