Among the Baralongs, a great African
people, iron is a sacred object. They are
expert workers in metal, which they still
Bnelt from it's native ore by the most
primitive methods ever devised by man.
This art was to them in former days a
source of wealth, influence and power,
and the legend is that when people did
not know the value of the stones found
in their brooks ''wise man" saw a
vision. The spirit Of his chief stood be-
side him and said, Gather stones and
burn them to make spears" The sage
thought it was dream and that the
chief was hungry, 90 he sacrificed an OK.
But the vision returned, and the chief
looked sorrowful. He stood q long time,
and at last said:
my son, why do you not obey your
father? Go to the river, gather stones
and make hot Ere. After that you will
see iron with your eyes"
The sage was greatly frightened and
feared some calamity, but dared not re-
fuse. When he had made hot fire, iron
came out Of it, and then he knew the
chief had taken pity on his children. He
told his son the secret before he died.
but he was o vain coxcomb, and wish
ing to show his own wisdom made iron
in the presence Of strangers, and so the
secret Of the art was lost to his tribe.
but they have always continued to re-
gard iron as sacred above all other met
als.-MilIoa~

OBITUARY..
Rev. Joseph Colby.

Rev Joseph Colby, so long known as
prominent mem Der of the Maine Confer
ence of the Methodist church, died at his
home in Gofham ON Wednesday last after
long and painful illenss.
Mr. Colby was born in Tamworth, N.
H., December 80, 1872, and was accord
ingly, in his S1st year. He was licensed
to preacher in 1912, joined the conference
in 1874, and continued in the active WORK
of the ministry for Al years. During this
career he served with great acceptabillty
many of the most important churches IN
the conference among them being Saco,
Augusta, Gardiner. and the Chestnut
street church, Portland.
His pulpit ability, business tact and
qualifications for leadership were
early recognized by his conference, and
in 1868 he was chosen presiding elder OF
the Lewiston district, serving in this
Office with such satisfaction tosthe
churches and ministry that at the close
of the four years term he was chosen
for the presiding eldership of Portland
district, and again four years later for
the Augusta district, thus filling this
very responsible position in his confer
ence for twelve consecutive years. He
was twice honored by the votes of the
members with a seat in the General
Conference of the church when he served
with credit to himself and his consti-
tuents.
Mr. Colby was interested in the stirring
scenes which occurred preceding and
during the War Of Rebellion He went
to the front himself in 81 as the chaplain
of the 12th Maine, Gen. Shepley's regi-
ment, and gave son to the same regi-
ment.
He was an earnest man putting his
soul into his work, causing men to feel
that the subject he was presenting or
the cause he was advocating was of the
utmost Importance. He was a. strong
and fearless preacher Of the word and
faithful pastor carrying into his work
the spirit of his Master and therefore ac-
ceptable and successful in his pastorates:
Mr.. Colby was an excellent judge OF
character. He knew men and how to
deal with them Though careful land
somewhat conservative, he nevertheless
was quick in his decisions and remark
ably correct in his estimate of men and
affairs. These qualifications fitted him
for leadership and. as we have seen, the
an outspoken man with convictions and
with the courage of his convictions, not
prophesying smooth things but so
speaking the truth in love" as to win
the affection of even his opponents.
Previous to his entering the ministry
he had made an enviable business record,
and the tact and enterprise acquired in
these early years were help to him in
his subsequent career.
Since retirement from active work in
the ministry, though in feeble health,
he has been of valuable service to the
local church, and has been as far as
possible identified with the general
interests of his village home. He has
been a director of the Gorham Savings
bank from it's origin and for several years
was member of the examining commit
tee of the bank.
Funeral services will be held at 80
this afternoon at School street Methodist
church, Gorham.
