Death Of Mrs. DeIos Abrams.

1t is with sincere sorrow that we an
nounce to-day the death OF Mrs. Delos
Abrams. This blow has fallen with
overwhelming suddenness upon the
family and the universal sympathy
which reaches out to them in their deep
grief, cannot fifty express itself in
words. There are few hearts that do
not know through bitter experience
how terrible the face of death, when he
is sent to summon those we love.
Mrs. Abrams had been i'll but few
days, being Frustrated with measles
that very shortly became complicated
with acute pneumonia. She seemed
too vigorous and fair and strong, to
''yield her being unto DEATH" but the
trouble manifested at once, symptoms
that showed how deep hold the disease
had taken upon her. When Mrs.
Abrams fell ill, her son Harvey was i'll
with measles, and one of her grand
children. child of Mr.. and Mrs. Need
ham, who have been staying at Mr.
Abrams for some weeks, was also quite
ill with the same disease. To make
the situation still more trying, her
daughters. Mrs. Needham and Miss
Libbie, were soon taken down with
measles and are now quite seriously
i'll. Mrs. Abrams was fifty-one years of
age, but time had touched her gently
aad her perfect health gave promise of
many years of life in which to enjoy the
serene blessings that come to one in
middle life and old age, surrounded by a
loving, happy family and the pleasant
things thas life has lavished generously
upon her. But the heart has its brave
hopes that death brings richer gifts than
life can ever bestow. The funeral SER
vices will be held at the house to-day,
Thursday at one o'clock.

Gently received by gentleman in this
city, contains an account of what is
claimed TO be miraculous restoration
to health after years Of sickness.

ject may be considered good evidence.
The young man referred to is Mr..
Charles j. Ivev of Evansville, Wis,
The letter goes on to state that since
leaving Lancaster he, the writer, has
been very i'll with consumption and
other troubles. He was given over by
many physicians in Chicago and in the
place where he now resides, who told
him that there was no earthly hope for
him. He SAYS that he sank from one
degree of sickness and pain to another,
until he felt that nothing remained but
to die. In the town where he lives
there is band of godly people,
who believe in divine healing as it was
in the time of the apostles" In this
faith, by prayer, many in and around
the place have been cured of all manner
of diseases. He was finally induced to
''ook into the matter" Finding in the
Bible evidence of divine healing, and
convinced that the power has never
been "annulled or limited, be made up
his mind that this healing he tCouId have.
He attended the meetings. The even

so i'll he could hardly stand, but with
the amounting and prayer his pain was
taken away instantly, and he regained
his old time strength in day or two.
He gained rapidly in strength and is

The writer goes on TO say that this d.
vine healing must not be confouuded
with the Devils counterfeit. Christian
Science" and predicts that the doc
trines of Divine Healing will soon be
taught in all Protestant churches. He
refers, III his letter to many passages OF
scripture to prove that the old faith Of
the apostles Is being revived IN thAs
healing by faith and PRAYER. The letter

EASTER SERVICES Sunday
Easter services were held in the differ
ent churches. The day was beautiful
and the air was laden with prophecies
of resurrection of tho dormant life, that
soon will overfill the world with living
things. Winter can no longer hold the
earth in thrall. and with the awakening
OF spring, the heart renews its faith in
the spiritual resurrection after death.
Death cannot contain life. With
Easter, the season of Lent closed. In
commemoration of the day, the churches
were decorated with flowers and bloom
ing plants. and appropriate addresses
were made by the pastors of the various
churches. Special music was prepared
and Easter anthems voiced the uniyer-
sal hope of life beyond the grave.
