Close OF Il Bright and Promising
Life.

1t Is our sad duty to chronicle the death OF
young man just on the threshold of life. 3
Tompkins Mabry. the youngest son of DR.. T.
J. Mabry, died hi the home of his father last
Friday. He was about 10 years of age. and
was Il young man Of great promise. He was
all employee OF the Press and Banner. and
there, as everywhere else, he did his duty un.
tiinchingly. He was n member Of the Able
vile Rifles, and had many friends among
both sexes, young and old. The funeral was
held IA the PMresbyterian Pre- church at II o'clock Ct
Dr. j. Lowric Wilson, assisted by Rev. Leroy
+. Beatty. The Abberille Rifles turned out in
full dress and escorted the remains to Sharon
where they were inferred with military hon

Death Is not always an occasion for great
grief, but in this instance there was every
thing that could appeal to the tender emo

ed son Of aged parents is stricken down as
he enters manhood's estate.
The eminent physician, OF many years eN.

Providence, had been instrumental in raising
many others from sick beds his own son he
could not restore to health. neither could
consulting physicians relieve the sufferer.
The Great Spirit had decrced.otherwise, and
foreordained that the blow should be given.
The best medical skill, and a mothers

ner and of kind and affectionste disposi

him.
Because OF love for him. as we'll as tender
sympathy for the aged parents, this commu
nifty was greatly touched at his death.
Whatever differences may ordinarily exist
among our people, they are all forgotten in
the time Of sickness, and In the hour Of death
they are not remembered.
AL are quick to feel another's woe, and
each and every one sympathses with those
who mourn for their dead.
In respect to the memory Of our deceased
friend ull the other churches in town were
closed during the funeral ceremony, and
nearly everybody in the village, assembled
in the Presbyterian church.
When the corpse was borne to the gar
den OF the slumberers, it was followed by a
long train Of vehicles filled with friends and
relatives.
May fragrant flowers forever rise from the
clay that wraps the beloved form Of him
whose soul has prematurely gone to that un-
discovered country to which we are all has

Extracts from the Christian Neighbor
End of Volume XXI.

This issue completes the TWentyJtrst
Volume of the CHRISTIAN NEIGHBoR.
Viewing the past from one point it
seems long time since the first num-
Der was printed-seven days between
successive issues from l to 1892. The
Editors volumes indicate what has
been done in these years. A long time,
large pile.
Viewed from another point the time
seems as a yesterday" and the work
done as a dream. A short while, a
small result. 1t is thus that a score
and one OF our years have passed.
We have often regretted that our
work as journalist was not less
faulty, but at no time have we regret
ted the establishment and continuance
of the CHRISTIAN NEIGHBoR. None
of the hindrances, seen or not seen by
others, have moved us from the orig
inal purpose. e..
The present volume is closed while
preparations are being made to hegin
the next---Jonuaay 3, 1889.
During the last twenty years there
has been q manifest increase in the
enhancement of the principles OF
peace among all classes of people.
The adoption of Arbitration for set
tling quarrels or disputes between ma
tions has made wonderful progress and
is destined to extend and strengthen
it's reasonable and humane influence
over the governments in Christendom.
And according as this wise substitute
for the sword controls Christian na'
tions it will prepare the way to Chris
tianize civilized nations and, in turn,
and with increased power prepare the
way to civilize and Christianize the
barbarians in their dark and bloody
lands, and in the meanwhile help to
Christianize the barbarians yet in
Christendom as we'll; and thus pre-
pare warning and tagging churches to
send missionaries to the heathen with
the Bible only---the sword and spear
being converted at home into plough
share and pruning hook. On this
wise it may be that the kingdoms OF
this world are to become the king
doms of our Lord and Of his Christ.
Whether the kingdoms of the world
shall thus lead the Church or the
Church lead the kingdoms, we shall
rejoice even as progress is made in the
true evangelization. of the peoples OF
earth.
AS in all these twenty-one years we
have striven to have our "record on
high" it is matter Of small moment
as to what contemporaries or those that
may come after may think, speak OF
do toward us personally, or the CHRIS
rIAN NE1GHBoR, or the cause OF
peace; we rejoice and shall rejoice to
know that we have been and do pur'
pose to remain a co-worker in the
greatest moral reformation that has
engaged the attention of thinking
men and women for the last fifteen
hundred years.

Christmas Times.

The trade of our business firms has been
most excellent. Great multitudes of people
thronged our Public Square for several days
before Christmas, and on Christmas eve the
crowd was immense. The trade was as great
as the clerks were able to wrap and receive
pay for goods Every store in every line o.
goods did a splendid business.
The Bank was busy all day. Cashier Barn
wells time was occupied with customers
and Assistant Cashier Wardlaw was busy
with callers who wanted change. During the
day he gave out twelve hundred dollars in
silver.
The good humor and friendly feeling which
prevailed among the people, was notable.
The people, as q rule, have not much sur.
plus money, and their purchases have been
carefully made.
The town boys's investment in fire crack
ers and roman candles seemed to be equa
to last years investment in the same useful
goods.
Santa Claus made his usual rounds. The
children In nearly every household were
made glad.
Socially, this will be a dull Christmas.
Some boys tore up number Of foot bridges
on the streets, but we presume the fun in thai
job was rather limited

Tne Old and the view.

Before the next issue of the CHRIS
TIAN NEIGHBoR the Old Year will
have gone out, and the New Year will
have come in. AS no mortal can tell
what day may bring forth how much
less can any one tell what may take
place within that seven days which in
clude the last minute of the old year
and first moment of the new. Some
expected good will not be realized,
some unexpected evil will befal.
Thus will it be with many. Others
will be the receivers of good things
which they were not looking for, and
will escape evils which they feared.
These events come to both the right
eous and to the wicked. "No man
knoweth either love or hatred by all
that is before them. All things come
alike to all: there is one event to the
righteous, and to the wicked" Such
is the life of the children of men In
passing through probation on to the
state of award where and when men
"shall return, and discern between the
righteous and the wicked; between
him that serveth God and him that
serveth him not"
Many there are who look for more
justice in this world than Providence
is pleased to permit. These stagger
when contrasting the prosperity of the
wicked with the adversely of the
righteous, forgetting that in the judg-
ment the Lord Jesus Christ "shall give
to every man according as his work
shall be-" Then shall truth, right and
good be manifested and vindicated
with particularly, exactness and
justice which will call forth an Amen
from the witnessing angels and the
"great and small" of the centre human
race as they stand either on the right
hand or on the left hand of the Judge,
in "that day."
AS no man knows the day when, the
Son of man shall come, let all the liv-.
ing give diligence that they may ''be
found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless."
