Obituary.
JOHN W. DOUGLASS.

In Martinsburg, April 9th, John
W. Douglass, aged 40 years, Mr.,
Douglass was born in Audrain
county in July, 1913. He was u
son of Elder William Douglass, In
his youth he protested his faith in
Christ, and has ever been a jealous
worker for the cause of truth and
righteousness. Being a true Christ
ian, he was an indulgent husband,
a tender-hsarted father and an ex-
cellent neighbor. OF him it can be
said, he loved Gods house, Gods
word and Gods people. His seat
in the sanctuary was never vacant
without reason. The prayer meet
ing was his delight; neither the
darkness of the night, the inelem-
ency of the weather or the trifling
infirmities of the body could de-
tam him at home if it was at all
possible for him to be present. He
never sought after novelty and
variety in the worship of God. The
great aim of his life was to render
obedience to the Divine command.
"Stand ye in the ways, and see,
and ask for the old path, where is
the good way, and walk therein,
and We shall find rest for your
souls" As death drew near he
gave very satisfactory evidence that
he had long since adopted Jobs
resolution, and through Divine
grace had lived in conformity
thereto. "A1l the days of my ap-
pointed time will I wait till
my change come. Mark the per-
feet man, and behold the upright:
for the end of that man is peace"
The deceased has been ever
prominently identified with the
Christian Church at this place. He
has occupied many official posi-
tions, including that of deacon,
elder and Sunday School superin-
tendent. AT the time of his death
he was elder in the church and
superintendent of the Sunday
School.
On the morning of the funeral
the large assemblage testified the
high esteem in which he was held.
1t was always pleasant to meet
him, as he manifested ."the orna-
ments of a meek and quiet spirit"-
the evidence of union to Christ.
His work is done, and as a jewel
he sparkles in the Redeemer's
crown.
Dear friends, sorrow not, as those
who have no hope, but rejoice in
the thought that another throne is
occupied, another mansion is filed,
another loved one rejoices with
Jesus the Christ.
"Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord from hence forth; yea,
saith the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors, and their works
do follow them"
The interment took place last
Friday morning at Liberty Church
yard. The attendance was large.

Struggle and Triumph.

A child was more fond of candy
than her mother thought good fol-
her. What was thought a proper
share was doied out to her one day
and the rest put away on the high
shelf of a cupboard beyond the
child's reach. Her mother eau.
toned her not to attempt reaching
it and left the room. Returning af:
ter awhile, she looked into the room
standing where the child could moi
see her, and surveyed the scene.
There stood the child, her feet on
the first shelf, to which she had
climbed by aid of a chair, and hel
hands grasping the candy, which
che had reached to her lips. There
it paused for a moment, the little
face bent in earnest thought.
Suddenly the candy flew from hel
lips and into the bag again as the
child leaped from the shelf on to
the chair and thence to the floor,
where she struck an attitude and
shouted exultantly "There, God
/ didn't eat it after ALL"

sons Of the Celestial Empire, en-

rage Commissioner Harry Van
Pert who they were looking for.
Pointing to the girl, one of the
Cinnamon said he wanted to get
married. Alderman Walker soon
came in, but refused to perform
the ceremony on account of the
girls tender age. Subsequently
Alderman Martin was applied to,
but he also declined to marry
them. The party then went to
Judge Erlich's Court where the
clerk made out the marriage pa
pers. The prospective groom gave
his name as You Sea, % years old.
The would-be bride gave her name

lived with her parents in Newark,
