REV. JOHN ORABBs.

Rev.J Crabbs, who resides at Morenci,
Mich, came to us from the Methodists
after preaching over twenty years for
that Church. He gradually outgrew his
old theology, and finally was received
into our church at Lyons, Fulton co., o.
He was afterward elected pastor of that
church. where he served them very ac-
ceptably for nearly two years, till his
health failed him. He has always been
very popular in the vicinity in which he
has lived. preaching at more funerals and
attending more weddings than any other
minister in the county.
For the last five years he has been suf-
ferin9 with rheumatism, and for the last
two years has been almost entirely help
less, confined to his rolling chair or to his
bed. Last Sunday my wife and I called
on him, and found him very helpless in
his bed, with continuance fastened to
the ceiling over his bed Invented by one
of his ingenious sons) by which he could
move himself, by the use of pulleys and
cords, and with the kind attention of wife
and family, he is made as comfortable as
any one could be who is SO sorely affiict-
ed.
As we entered his sick room,-yet
cheerful, his countenance seemed to light
up as one who could see by faith "the
home of the SOUL" He talked voluntarily
and freely of his situation and of his
faith. He said, "Br. Crary, have been
permitted all these years of confine-
ment, to lay here and read; and have
been contrasting the old theology with the
new, and Universalism looks better and
better, and I see in it all that is desirable
for sickness or health; for life or for
death; for time or for eternity. 1t is infin-
itely above every other thought Of which
the mind can conceive. have been
reading with delight THE UNIvERsAL1sT,
which is so grand. That sermon of DR..
Thomas, the day DR.. Ryder was buried,
and DIR. Barrows' remarks at the dedica-
ton of st. Paups church, and the new
theology looms up more grand and glo.
rious than it ever did before; and now.
that you and wife are here together, 1
want you to come here when I die, if you
should outlive me, and attend my funeral;
and as my good wife is member of the
M. E. Church, want her minister to as
sist in the services My faith is my
greatest comfort in my hours of confne-
ment."
This is written without Br. Crsbb's re-
quest, but many of his friends will be
glad to hear of his situation and faith.
N. CRARY.

city. Among the auditors we're Mrs
Cleveland, Secretary and Mrs. Dickinson

recited prose and poetry of his own COM
position in the Hoosier and other dia-

financial gain to the church treasury will
aggregate nearly if not quite 5000.

TOO MUCH GOOD LUCK
II You Find q Silver Dollar, 1t Is Cheaper
to Let 1t Lie.


Nelp York Sun
eff you ever happen to find a silver dol
lar in the course Of your travels, You let it
lie right where it is when Won see it." said
a jolly young broker yesterday.
Coming down on the elevated a few
days ago." he continued. 81 noticed
something bright wedged in between the
basket-work seat to the wooden arm. l
poked her out with my knife blade and
found my prize to be a silver dollar. |
had never found any money before, and
felt 80 good that when 1 got of the train
l stepped into a cigar store and
bought four cigars for a dollar,
instead of three for a quarter as usual.
That noon at luncheon / felt .awfully
thirsty, and being a dollar aheadf ordered
q bottle of claret. Later, buoyed up by the
same thought, l asked the boys to take
something, and the round cost me 80 cents.
When it came time to 60 home the elevat.
ed trains were crowded, SO l thought I'd
spend my dollar for a hanson cab and drive
home, stopping at O theatre, where, on
account ofmy find, l bought tickets of a
Spectator instead Of at the office. / told
my wife about my luck and showed her the
identical dollar, which l had saved. She
was q o1ted, aud insisted on my having
the piece smoothed off OF one side and the
place and date Of my good fortune inscribed
thereon, the carrying out of which conceit
cost me g. so. Altogether, 1 should think
my find cost me nearly $40; go take my ad-
vice, and if you run across any stray dol
lars don't pick 'em up"
