PHEBE e. BARROW.

Phebe Elvira barrow was born March 2,
1856. She was married to John NJ. Smith, Sep
TENDER I6, 1876, and passed into the higher life
at 1 A. M. Feb 20, 1898. She united with the
Universalist church of Woodstock, o., Junel1,
ing the greatest interest in the welfare of the
church during the remainder of her life. She
was model woman in many ways. and lived
an exemplary life in morality. industry and
order in her family affairs. During her Ill
ness of many months, she expressed her will
ingness Ito abide by the will of the Father,
and was ready as the ripe shock of corn for
the change. and has left many bright assur-
ances of the power of her faith to sustain
when approaching the end of her journey. A
Methodist minister expressed desire to visit
her. She said to her husband. a." Tell him If he
wants to make friendly CALL he can come;
but if he expects to change my faith. that can
not be donel" She bore her sufferings with
much patience, only praying that her depart
ure might be easy, a favor graciously granted.
She often repeated passages from the Script
ures and verses from her favorite hymns, and
selected the text and hymns she desired should
be used at her funeral services. She babe her
friends farewell the Thursday before her de-
parture. and shouted "gloryl" asking them to
unite with her in joyful exclamation. She
leaves husband, one daughter, her mother,
two sisters and five brothers to mourn her
loss. and many friends unite with them Veri-
ly a good woman has gone to her reward. Her
funeral services were held in the church she
loved on Monday morning, Feb. ~, Rev. ]. w.

APPLICATION.

THE CALLED.-The application of the
parable which JESUS himself makes is con-
tanned in the closing declaration: For
many are called invited, but few chosen
[selected] ;" which may have been familiar
proverb. The entire Jewish race was in
vited to embrace the opportunities and ben
etits of the Messiah's kingdom; but few ac-
cepted the Gospel invitation and were select
ed by the King to be his subjects and enjoy
his royal feast. OF the many that we're after
ward invited from the highways but few
may have accepted the invitation, and were
admitted to the feast. All are invited to the
Gospel Feast. All are called to be saved.
The Chosen.-Though all mankind is en-
braced in the Gospel invitation, but few ac>
quent happiness, and the many neglect the
religious opportunities which the Gospel af-
fords, for selfish interests and sensual pleas
ures. Only the spiritually qualified are elect
ed to the joys of the spiritual kingdom. The
chosen are self-elected. Only those who will
come may come and partake of heavenly
bliss. The proverb which the parable of the
Lesson illustrates declares an historical fact.
Only the few at any time in Christian history
have chosen the narrow way of life and sal
walton. But the few are Divinely chosen for
the sake of the many who go in the broad
way which leads to destruction. By the
counsel of his will COP has chosen all men
to be saved and come unto the knowledge of
the truth. The unwilling he will make will
ing in the providential day of his power-the
power of his love and truth. "They who
choose the Divine choice are Divinely cho-
sen."-Morison. "All the ends of the earth
will turn unto the LORD" The risen and
glorified Saviour whom the many refused to
follow, and caused to be put to death, will
finally draw all men to himself" by the at
tractive power of his self-denying life and
love.

SARAH A. STARMER.

Miss Sarah A. Buffum was born in Buffum
Town, Erie county, N. Y, March 8, 1922. Was
married to her now bereaved husband, Joseph
Starmer, at Chicago, ILL.,, June 81. 1858. She,
with her husband removed from Chicago to
Beloit, Wis, May 4, 1864 where they resided
till Augu st, 1888. when they settled near Juni-
alta, Adams county, Nj b., where on the 10th of
Feb, 1888. she sweetly fell asleep. At the age
of thirty-six she united with the Universalist
church, of which she remained member until
death. Our sister was the mother of three
children, who remain 10 mourn the loss of
loving mother. She also tenderly cared for
two daughters left her husband by former
wife, and who in turn loved her as a mother
while living, and revere her memory now she
is dead. This loving wife and mother was
also kind sympathizing neighbor. No one
came to her for kind word or helping hand
without receiving that for which they came,
and so those who read this memoir will not
wonder that many here, and elsewhere rise up
and call her blessed. Ths funeral service,
which was held at the late home of the de-
the family residing in the State, and also by
one of the two daughters referred to above,
and her husband In the midst of the sorrow
occasioned by the death of one who was so
precious to them as wife and mother, Mr..
Starmer and his five daughters are comforted
to know that while she cannot return to them
they can go to her.

WILLIAM H. ELDRIDGE.

In Indianapolis, Ind, Feb 81, 1888, of con-
sumption, Willie H., son of Isaac and Kate FL
bridge, and nephew of the late ]. W. Eldridge,
one of our clergymen. Though Willie was
only 10 years, months and Fl days old at the
time of his death, yet he was one of the bright
est and most intelligent boys 1 ever knew.
And although he was blind from birth, yet his
spiritual sight was so clear and good that he
was enabled to see into and under: tand what
many older persons could not. He was also
very religious in his nature. Almost his last
conscious ret was prayer. He wanted TO
live and get an education, so that he could
preach, but when he found he could not, he
was resigned and ready TO Ego up higher"
About year ago he united with the Christian
church, where he was much honored and loved.
His funeral, which was largely attended, was
conducted by his pastor Rev. Mr.. Gantz, as
sisted by the writer, who had known Willie
and loved him much. While tears were shed,
all seemed to feel that it was better he had
gone into light and greater joy. All who are
left will long feel the helpful influence of
spirit so bright and pure, and life so relig-
ious. His parents, and all who tenderly
loved him have the sympathy of a wide circle
of friends. AT.

marked by the dates given above. is that of a
woman who lived to do good, and her depart
ure revealed vacancy that will never be
filed in the circle of loving hearts that had
gathered around her. She made her home
happy one, and strangers always felt its kind
ly influence. Her disease was contracted while
attending upon sick sister, who survives
her. She was reared under Partialist infiu-
ences, but becoming acquainted with Univers-
alism she embraced its cheering doctrine and
became devoted member of the church, ever
working for its prosperity. She leaves, beside
her husband and childIen, an aged mother,
two sisters and four brothers, and a widely
extended circle of friends, to mourn her de-
parture. Her funeral services were held at

THE CORRECT TIME.

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct time;
and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are
devised to enable them to do so. But the
more delicate chronometer is made, the
more subject it becomes to arrangement, and
unless it be kept always perfectly clean, it
soon loses its usefulness. What wonder,
then, that the human machine-so much
more delicate and intricate than any work
of Man-should require to be kept thorough
ly cleansed. The liver is the handspring of
this complex structure, and on the impuri-
ties left in the blood by disordered liver,
depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to-.
Even consumption (which is lung scrofula) },
is traceable to the imperfect action of this
organ. Kidney diseases, Skin diseases, sick
headache, heart disease, dropsy, and long
catalogue of grave maladies have their ORR
gin in torpid, or sluggish liver. DR.. rPierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing
healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as
cure and preventive of these diseases.

SPEAKING IN PARALLELS.
Matthew xxi. LA. ]

The time and place of this lesson are the
same as the last. JESUS is teaching in the
Temple, and addressing specially the rulers
who here questioned his authority as pub
lie religious teacher, and whom he charac-
terizes in their relation to the kingdom of
COP which he came to establish, IN series
Of parallels. In the first they are represent
ed as having neglected to work in their Fa-
theirs vineyard which they had, at his COM
mand, promised to cultivate xxi. 2S). In
the second-which was our last lesson-they
are represented as tenants who had refused
to deliver his share of the fruit of the vine
yard to the landlord, and had brutally driven
away or killed the messep gers. whom he sent
to receive it at the harvest time. The rulers
perceived that these parallels were spoken
in condemnation of themselves, and would
Immediately have arrested the imprudent
Teacher, perhaps, on charge of speaking
evil of rulers (Acts xiii. 5; Exodus xii. 70;
Jude 81, but they feared the effect upon the
excited crowds who regarded him true
prophet. Mark says: "And they left him
and went away" xii 12). The deputatlon
that questioned him concerning his authority
(see last Study probably went away, but
others of their class may have continued to
come and go while he was speaking, and to
have asked him questions which the Evan
gelists have not recorded. Continuing to
speak in parallels he answered them by ad-
dressing to them the parable of the Marriage
Feast, which represents them as refusing to
accept the prophetic invitation to partake OF
the bounties and blessings of the Messiah's
kingdom, and describes the providentiai con-
sequences which would follow their imp1ous
and wicked neglect of, and contempt for, the
spiritual privileges to which they were called

MR.. AND MRS. WILLIAM MUS

We are panied to announce the death and
departure of Br. and Sister Musgrave, men,
bers of the HutsonviRe Universalist church.
Like shock of corn fully ripe, they were
gathered home. They were noted for their
Christian character and devotion to their
faith; always full of sympathy for the needy.
Their death was great loss to the church.
Uncle William, as he was Familiarity called, as
well as his loving companion, were always at
their post in all enterprises calculated to ele-
vate mankind. May their lives be initiated by
those who knew them. They leave several
children to mourn their loss. All are servants
of the God of love. Brother and Sister Mus
grave had full confidence in their faith and
were sustained by it while crossing the river.
