A YOUNG MANS CHARACTER.
There could, seemingly come to no commun-
ity of the size, two deaths more shifting to
home and public than has come to this in the
last few weeks. That of Miss Hattie McFar-
land so sudden and taking so rare a charac-
ter and intellect from her home and friends
and this one following soon, of a young
man knowa only to be respected and loved.
Willis Sherman Hubbard, who died at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Mead, on Monday
morning of last week of pneumonia. He was
taken suddenly sick one week previous to his
death. The utmost care was given him,
~ u and friends. tlpV
all felt that his valuable life But God
in His all wise providence permitted the dis
ease to take it's course, which was too much
for his physical constitution. Rarely can 1T be
said of a young man of twenty-five years what
may in all truth be said of this young man,
who was twenty-five years and ten months
old He was refined, he saw in nature Gods
haudiWOrk and sought to read "GOd S
thoughts after Him" He looked upon the
flower not as upon q thing, but as upon
revelation of Gods wisdom and power, with
a sincere desire and appreciation for the
knowledge it would afford him. In the lodge
when anything, no matter how trivial SEEM
ingly, was given him to do he did it in the
best possible manner, believing that what is
worth doing at all, is worth doing well. y
| With such a spirit and desire for growth of
| character of lodge and self his absence will be
| a perpetual loss. In the young mems club he
was an inspiration, desiring only the helpful
| and true influences. In sabbath school he
was often a marvel to his teacher, because of
| the deep insight heseemed to possess in spirit
| ual truths. He was not a member OF the
| church. only because his circumstances pre-
| vented for the time. He was, however, al
| WAYS at church as one of the most devout
| thoughtful and attentive. He looked upon
Christian privileges with most striking con
scientiousness. He was always an inspiration
| to his pastor, and in him the pastor was al
ways sure of a candid Judgment and every
possible help in all work, church or communi
ty Men and women, young and old, die ant
leave behind remembrance. They are Offer
eulogized beyond reason, for ones life ant
character speaks palmer than the feeble word
| of any man. He is a remembrance sacred t
| all who knew him. a remembrance in all tn
minds of the young of one who lived not 70
self but for others. A character so cOnscien
tious, so genuinely true even the best an
strongest may find lessons worthy OF imita
, ton.
