I'm ready, Lord, Thy will to do,
Whatever it may be,
And whereso 'er Thy hand may lead
I'll gladly follow Thee.
If called to walk in thorny paths.
To honor Thy request
While there thy footsteps may be sun,
Thy servant shall be blest.
Amid earths sorrOws and its woes
/ still will follow Thee:
For the arm on which thou didst rely
is round and under me,
And when before Thy throne stand
Though void of every plea
Remembering still Thy precious blood,
Lord, / will trust in Thee.

Memoir.
REV. JAMES ROBERT LATroMUs.

James Robert Lattomus was born
February 10th, 1862, in New Castle
county, Delaware, and died August
End, 1891, at Pensaukin, New Jersey.
He was converted in December, 1879,
under the ministry of Rev. J. S. Lame
in the city of Philadelphia, and at once
became active in church work, allow
ing nothing but absolute necessity to
keep him from his place in the prayer
and class meeting. His zeal in soul
winning was so marked that during
the pastoral term of Rev. J. Wesley
Harkins at Eighteenth and Wharton
streets, in Philadelphia, he was licensed
as an exhorter and Immediately began
the work of establishing a mission at a
point where hourishing society now
exists - Twenty second and Reeds
streets. He began this work by hold
ing meetings under tree at first, af-
terward in a machine-shOp, and by his
magnetic Christian influence drew the
people to himself and to his Master,
and the people of that mission owe him
great debt of gratitude to-day.
The "call of God" was upon him,
and having had but few educational
advantages beyond the district schools
in his usual straightforward way he
asked his father if he thought he could
spare him from the home in order that
he might seek more education. The
father, with truly patriarchal faith,
and a Christlike spirit, turned to Gods
Word and read HE that loveth
father or mother more than me, is not
worthy of me-"
So with parental blessings he went
to Pennington Seminary, saying, "I'll
do it for Christ's sake" and in his
private journal he penned the follow
ing words of conservation and coven-
ant with God

MY CONSIDERATION TO GOD.
Termination Seminnru. Oct. l. l,

Pennington Seminary, Oct. l, 1886.
My Dear Heavenly Father II do this
morning desire to draw nearer to Thee,
and IN doing so, as 1 understand Thy
Word, l must have clean hands and a
cOntrite heart. AS l understand my
heart this morning, am sorry that in
the past have not lived nearer to
Thee. AS Thou knowest, on the
eleventh day of August, at Pitman
Grove. gave myself to Thee. and so
far as l know l have never withdrawn
the offering; but if, in Thy sight, I
have, or if there is any new light that
Thou hast given me, revealing sin or
making known duty, not yet repented
consecrated to Thee, with Thy help
here and now, for to-day and all days
to come, for time and eternity, give
myself to Thee and by Thy grace
will not take myself out of Thy hands.
l do accept Thee as my
Saviour and Sanctifer. Keep, Lord
Jesus, that which l now commit to
Thee, forever. Amen
And to this he added his name.
As his pastor for two years at PEN
ningtOn, simply voice the sentiment
of the entire schOOl-prOfessOrs and
pupils-as we'll as the community,
when say: He was true to that Cow
enant. No student had such COM
handing influence in the seminary as
Rob LattOmus. He was easily the
leader in every good work. At var
iOus times he was president of the Y.
NJ. G. A., of PhilOmathean, and was
the originator and earnest leader of the
holiness meeting held at o'clock on
Sabbath afternoons in the seminary
building. AS a local preacher he
gave his services to any appointment
that the local pastor might assign 70
him, whether in the church work at
Pennington or out on the hills in the
schOOl-hOuses and among the people.
Many loyal, loving hearts throughout
that country will mourn his loss. For
him to say II will CO." was to have the
work provided for.
He possessed a remarkable faculty
adaptation, which was but the expires.
sion of a heart o'rhowing with Christ
like love, whereby he was able at once
to win to his side children and patri-
archs, young men and women. He
greatly regretted not being able t.
graduate at Pennington, but i'll health
prevented, and he struggled heroiCally
with the question as to whether he
should at once take a pastoral charge
or pursue his studies further than he
could get light from his Heavenly
Father when in prayer,
The following verses written by hin
at the time, indicate very clearly the
deep struggle that was taking place in
his own mind, and the spirit of faithful
submission that characterized him:

The Facts Developed in Il Suit in Jefferson

Pretty much the entire male popu-
lation Of Rush Run was called yeSter-
day before Justice Traiuer'S Court, at
Steubenyille, TO testify in a case
against Richard Shively on two
charges, one for assault and the other
for carrying concealed weapons. The
trouble arose over the management of
an engine in the Rush Run brick works
which belongs TO VIM. Ward,
Of Portland, the works themselves
being owned by Mr.. Rankin. The
engine had been in charge Of
Richard Shively engineer, while John
Adams is foreman OF the works. Shiye-
ly vas discharged, but claimed TO have
exclusive control Of the engine under
authority derived from Ward. The pro-
prietor of the works after Shively'S dis
charge put the engine in charge of
Adams, who was doing some work on it
when he was ordered by Shively TO let
il alone. He refused To do so and on
Thursday morning Shively came to the
works. Meeting Adams outSides he
again ordered him 10 let the engine
alone. which he refused TO do, saying lie
had been placed there by the owners
OF the works and he proposed to stay.
During the controversy which ensued
Shiyely drew revolver and fouriShed

from one of the prison guards Monday
evening, was recaptured near Round
Bottom, about three miles down the
river, about half-past four o'clock yes

also be disbarred Of the privilege of
going outside, as it was the custom TO
allow him to do.
Workman was an old man about Ga
years OF age and has yet between seven
and eight years to serve. When caught

garb and was only dressed
in his under clothes and an
old gum coat, which he got in
the garden. The guard who was sta
