MARY EDWARDS.

Mary Edwards, daughter of Edward and
Katherine Edwards, was born in Wales, Sept.
Z, 1888. She came to the United States in child
hood, and growing up with the advantages of
the Ohio public schools, obtained fair edu-
cation, and became an habitual and apprecia
tive reader of the best literature accessible in
a farm library and current publications. AL
though living an unusually busy and industri-
GUS life for one of her physical strength, and
possessing a mind developed and cultivated
beyond the average, she preferred to spend
such leisure as she had in rest and reading, to
the usual diversions of sight seeing and Cos
sip. Living for nearly forty years in the same
family, loving and caring for the children,
and devoted to the interest OF others, she will
be remembered more as friend or relative
than in any other relation. She passed away
Sunday morning, Feb. 5, 1888. after long ILL
ness, at the residence of Hon. A. P. Howard
where she had lived so long. She had no fears
of death, nor expressed any doubt as to par
tial fate being sustained by the children of an
impartial Father. She had no doubts of the
ordering of events saying, am in the Lords
hands," Funeral services were conducted at
the home so long hers, on Tuesday afternoon,
February 7, by Rev. ]. W. Henley.

THE CORNER STONE.

REJECTED BY THE BUILDERS.-To i'm
press his hearers with sense of the calamity
which awaited those who should finally reject
him as the Messiah of GoD, and put him to
death as an impostor, he called their atten-
ton TO a passage contained in Psalm cxviii.
%, which recited the marvellous fact that
stone having been rejected by the builders
had become the head of a corner. This fig
ure he applied to himself and their rejection
of him, though in its original application 1t
was probably employed as descriptive of the
Babylonish captivity of Israel and the restor-
alton of righteous remnant to national
glory and honor. Though rejected by the
ruling Jews he was providentially destined to
become the head of the corner in the spirit
ual temple which GoD was about to construct
in the world. The kingdom of heaven is fire.
quently spoken of by the New Testament
writers under the figure of building erected
son the foundation of the prophets and apos-
ties, JESUS CHRIST being the chief corner
stone"
The Jewish leaders did not understand the
purpose of GOD; hence their rejection of His
prophets and HIS Son; they did not under
lection of the most important stone in it, the
one above all Others significant of its outline.
The Jewish leaders, ignorant of the Divine
Architects plan of His spiritual temple, could
not see how JESUS, who leaned toward the
Gentiles, could be their Messiah. GOD, they
felt, cared for none but the Jews, but JESUS
seemed to regard the heather about them.
They did not see that at the very point in
which they lived the great temple of GOD
came to corner, and one of its vast sides
turned toward the Gentiles. Gould the build
ers have had their way, they would have run
the wall straight on. But JESUS was the
cornerstone connecting the Jewish and Gen
tile worlds. A great change in the Divine
economy was to be inaugurated by him. 1t
was indeed marvellous for the Jews to I'M
ierstand. 1t left them only the more deter
mined to reject him and take his life. Rev.
q. N. Harmon.
A STONE OF STUMBLING AND DEsTRUC-

were ignorant of the true mission of the Mes

rock of offense, rejecting whom they missed
the felicity of the kingdom of heaven which
he came to establish in the hearts of men.
GoD having exalted him to high place in
His spiritual temple and the affections of the
people, the Jews, trying to degrade him and
destroy his influence, put him to death, and
were themselves destroyed as a nation and
scattered to the four winds by the power of
His glorifed might and the breath of His

MRS. EMMET ERODE.

Mrs. Emmett Brode died at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Bryon Cooley, in Shalersville, o.,
Feb. IA, of nervous prostration, emanating
from the measles. Her funeral was held on
Thursday, Feb. 16. There is a more than or

when she stood at the altar and plighted her
troth to the husband now left so lonely, her
body, ready for burial, lay before the altar of

MRS. NELLIE LAFL1N RAYMOND.

At La Crosse, Wis. Feb 20, 1888, Mrs. Nellie
Latin Raymond, wife of j. A. Raymond, and
daughter of DIR. and Mrs. H. b. Latin, in the
thirtieth year of her age. In the departure
of Mrs. Raymond, is mourned one who filled u
very large place in the hearts of all her friends
and most especially in the home and hearts
of her husband and parents. She was Chris
tian in the largest and truest sense of that
term. She united with St. PauPs Universalist
church when she was sixteen years old, and
in every way honored her profession with her
life. ALI who knew her speak in terms OF I'M
qualified praise. She was quiet and reserved
in manner, but her mere presence impressed
one with the depth and sweetne ss of her ma
ture. The real measure of strength and beau
ty of soul is not its manifestation in hours of
sunshine, but in seasons of suffering. Mrs.
Raymond has had ample opportunity to show
how really Christlike was her spirit. For
many months she has been very great suf-
ferer. How great only those who performed
the necessary and kindly offices about her bed
side know. Some murmuring would have
been pardoned. But she has endured all with
patience sublime. Never has the truth had
better illustration, that Universalism is as
good to die by as to live by. When she found
that she was not to remain with those she
loved and who SO loved her, she turned her
face toward the opening gates with smile.
To her dying was going out of the shadows
into the sunshine. In accordance with her
wish, everything possible was banished from
the burial service suggestive of sadness. The
intention was that it should be emblematic of
the large, bright faith of the household, and
of her who had gone before. The body beau
tifully arrayed in white, was laid in pure
white casket surrounded with flowers, and
borne to beautiful lakewood in white hearse,
where it was laid to rest in bed of living
green. We need not ask the good Father to
comfort the afflicted husband and parents, for
he does comfort them with the beautiful hope
of a glorious meeting in that ''some sweet day
by and by" imp.

THE PARABLE.

THE VINEYARD.-The zine and a Ui1ae-
gard are Old Testament figures, representing
the kingdom of Israel, with which the Jews
were familiar. The Hebrew people we're

able ". 1, y. 1t was we'll situated, planted
in fruitful soil. and thoroughly furnished for
production and profitable husbandry. Moth
ing more was needed or desirable than had
been provided. So God had planted, and
protected, and prospered Israel, whom He
had brought out of Egypt, and set as light
among the nations, fruitful vineyard to be
cultivated by Divine husbandry, whose
fruits shall gladden. the whole earth. The
prophet laments that the vineyard had dis
appointed its owner by producing wild grapes
rather than the cultivated varieties which
were expected. Israel had not borne the
fruits of spiritual culture. Our Lord repre-
sents the vineyard in the parable as yielding
no returns to its owner because of the dis
honesty anu WlckouuS55 OI the nuspdhumeH
to whom he had intrusted its cultivation.
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the owner of
the vineyard in the parable had grown it up
to fruitfulness, and fully equipped it for
profitable husbandry, he leased it to tenants
for share in the annual products, and then
moved oway. GoD, through the instrument
tality of His servant Moses, had organized
Israel into Divine commonwealth, to be
governed by his will which was embodied in
its laws and institutions, and which He nur-
tured by His providence to great prosperity
and influence, and then apparently withdrew
His manifest presence from its administra-
ton and waited, as it were, to receive the
fruits of righteousness, peace and Joy, by
which the world should be blessed. Those
to whom were given the administration of
the government of Israel we're the husband
men who were entrusted with the cultivation
of the LORDS vineyard, which had not yield
ed the expected products of the kingdom of
heaven. 1hese were the priests, the scribes
and the elders OF the people, the classes repre-
scented by those to whom the parable was adj
dressed. By their self seeking and self
righteousness they had banished the thought
