SAMUEL GRANDIN.

1--WE quote from Western New York CORE
Browne.)
Mr.. Samuel Grandin, of Tidioute, Penn,
was buried'on Saturday, Jan. %, Rev. W. B.
Randolph, in fulfillment of long standing
promise officiating, assisted by Rev. G. F.
Barnes. 1t has been intimated to us that
Br. Randolph abandoned the purpose of
wintering in Southern climate in order 10
redeem the promise made years ago, to per-
form this sad service. Mr.. Grandin was
born in Newton, N. J. in 1900. At the age
of twenty-five he came to Venango county,
near Tidioute. Ten years later he married
Sarah Henry. He had ga powerful constitu-
ton, good intellect, generous heart and a
skilled hand" though but meagre opportu-
nifty for earlier education; yet he acquired
extensive knowledge. "With an active mind
he organized the ways of labor and set the
wheels of inland commerce in motion"
With these facilities for success he attained
to competence. He was the soul of honor.
Base and selfish schemes could find with him
no quarter" Mr.. Randolph's address on
the occasion, from which we have made
these few quotations, was highly appropri.
ate.
The deceased contributed to Buchtel Col
lege, the rebuilding of DIR. Ryder's church in
1872, and to every interest in Tidioute, moi
forgetting liberal provisions for his church

brought the ass and her colt, as JESUS had
ments for saddle and seated J EsUs thereon.
The greater part of the assembled crowd,
who were doubtless mostly his provincial
countrymen and his disciples from all parts
of the country, who had come to greet him,
united to do him honor They spread before
him in the way their garments, and strewed
garlands and green branches, and triumph
antly waved in their hands the symbolic
palm as they shouted their hosannas. Psalm
cxvii., which contains the words that were
employed by the enthusiastic people was one
of a series (cxiii. which we're sung at
the Passover, and by the professions as they
paraded the streets of the city and the courts
of the Temple. Applied to JESUS itproclaimed
him to be the Messiah. As commonly en-
ployed it was equivalent to the modern Hail
to the Chief" or " GoD save the King" Such
a scene was not unusual in the capital cities
of the East. DIR. Robinson describes scene
in which the inhabitants of Bethlehem in
1884 spread their garments in the way before
the British consul at Damascus when On a
visit to Jerusalem (BiblicoL Researches).
How natural that the enthusiastic followers
of JESUS should now in their festive process
sion, when stirred with feelings of patriot
ism, greet him with princely honors whom
they believed to be the Divinely appointed
king to restore again the independent king
dom of Israel! They had not yet thought of
him as a King of souls and the Prince of
Peace, and we're impatient at his delay to de-
clare himself the rightful heir to the throne
of David. They were now encouraged to be-
lieve that his reign was about to be declared
and inaugurated. JESUS arranged that the
manner of the proclamation should symbol.
ize king who was meek and lowly and who
would rule by the power of his royal spirit in
righteousness, truth and peace.
AN EXCITED CITY.-When the Galilean
procession entered the royal city with its en-
thusiastic demonstrations in honor of JESUS,
the inhabitants caught the contagion of ex-
citement and inquired, "Wbo is this that is
receiving such an ovation2" The crowds
proudly answered, This is the prophet JE-
sUs from Nazareth of Galilee." The Judeans
insisted that the Messiah would not be from
Galilee, and that, in fact, from Galilee no
prophet had ever arisen (John vii. Al, 52).
JESUS was everywhere popularity acknowl-
edged to be a prophet mighty in word and
deed. The Galilesns would no doubt take
special interest in declaring that he was from
their district. The Messiah is frequently
spoken of in the Scriptures as prophet like
unto Moses who would declare all the COM
mandments of GoD (see Deuteronomy xviii.
1918; Acts iii. %; vii. 81.

SOLOMON KLISE.

Solomon Klise was born Jan. 10, 1920, in
Frederick county, Nd, and died at Wood
land, Mich, Jan. 10, 1888, aged sixty eight
years. This brief paragraph tells but the
beginning and ending of a long life of gen.
ial warmth and unobtrusive goodness. A
pioneer, moving to Tiffin, o., in 1887, and
thence to Woodland in 1854, he absorbed
early those traits of character which made
the term ''old settler" synonym of hope
full courage and unstinted generosity. In
1847 he married Minerva Lee, and for over
forty years they shared the joys and sorrows,
the burdens and pleasures of life together.
But one child was born to them to be early
called. After time they adopted little
girl who grew to womanhood, was masRiad
and taken home before them. But their
hearts still trusted the Great Providence
which gives the oil of joy for mourning and
the work of life was courageously carried
on. In early life Br. Klise was Methodist
and his earnest soul never ceased to find
joy in the worship of the church of his youth,
although for over thirty-fve years he was
an outspoken Universalist. No church of
his faith was near him, and he took a special
delight in visiting with and ministering to
the needs of Universalist clergymen who o.
casionally found their way to his hospitable
home.
His wife, who has always retained her con-
nection with the M. E. church, assures the
writer that all through his long and pain full
illness of over year and half as through his
life of activity, his faith in an all triumphant
gospel never wavered and death came to him
as a welcome friend. For over thirty years
be was an active member of the Masonic fra
ternity, at whose hands his weary body re-
ceived the last rites of sepulture; unobtru-
sive in the exercise of his duties, but few of
us who had known him longest, realized his
strong hold on the respect of the commun-
nifty. A patriotic citizen, steadfast friend,
faithful brother, loving husband, real
Christian, doing daily the will of God, the
world is richer and better for the life he has
lived.
