FAREWELL SERMON
Preached by Rev Ziegelmeyer at the
Zion Lutheran Church.

Preached by Rev Ziegelmeyer at the
Zion Lutheran Church.
The nine years pastorate OF Rev.
Paul Zegelmeyer at the Zion German
Lutheran Church terminated yesterday,
Rev. Ziegelmeyer having resigned
some time ago on account OF
the poor health Of his wife, who
is under medical treatment In Germany.
Few pastors have enjoyed the love and
confidence Of their flock to a greater
degree than Rev. Ziegelmeyer, and his
departure causes general regret.
AT the services yesterday morning
the pastor preached an affecting fare
well sermon. His remarks, translated,
were In substance as follows:
There are hours In life when In the heart
wonderful things take place. such an
hour has come for me. The heart Is
drawn here and there, and feels like
the swallow in the fall, preparing Tor
hid eparturs-fnding no rest, and at
last raising It's wings and flying away.
I have preached many sermons
TO you; have preached OF
faith and OF charity, OF
comfort and penltence, but farewell
sermon l have not preached. Never
has a sermon been so difficult as this.
1t seems to me as though IL were
mournful occasion, where the tears
have not failed. And yet, my work
must be done, and my gifts must be ex-
hausted, or the Law would not nave
given me the hint, saying come, 60
MY thoughts will often wander over
land and sea to the beloved place where
l spent many happy years, and found
many loving friends. But before de-
part, let me give you, my dear flock,
farewell greetings in connection with
the word OF God, as you Will
find it written in l Cor. Is, 1-2-
Moreover, brethren, l declare unto
you the gospel which have preached
unto you. which also ye have received,
and wherein you stand; by which also
you are saved, II you keep In memory
that l preached unto you unless you
have believed 1t vain"
Moreover, brethren, / declare unto
you the gospel which have preached.
And now let US look at this hour, first,
as an hour Of quiet remembrance; Sec
ond as an hour OF holy confession; third,
as an hour Of sad farewell. The gospel
have preached to you for more than
eight years, the gospel Of Jesus Christ,
the Son OF God, our Saviour and Re-
deemer, God knows that / intended to
bring TO you nothing but the best sun
beams of His word, seed grains taken
from the hands OF the Heavenly Mower,
drops from the dear spring OF comfort;
I remind you Of all the Sabbath honrt

bells so that the tone can be easily re-
cognized, THE Last Rose OF Summer.

horses play bells TO music time, and 1t
was heretofore thought to be an i'm
possibility. Many other equally won

acts are given by Bartholomew TWEEN

TO you in that holy hour. Iremind you
mourners, whom / met at the side OF 8
departed loved one, whose wounded
hearts L healed, and whose tears dried
away, OF the gospel which says, blessed
are the dead, who die In the Lord"
But this is also an hour OF confession,
for you as well as for me. Most OF you
were satisfied with me. Is also my God?
Am l? 1t will be best for me to stand
at the door like the Publican and say:
God, be gracious unto me-" God also
asks an account OF you. Many are the
years / preached the gospel TO you, and
msny are not satisfied that must
leave, but many are here to-day
whose faces are strange TO me, ami
would ask "Why did you come In to-
daY?" But you, my dear regular
church-goer, will you still live to what
has been preached unto you? The ser.
want goes, but the Lord remains. De-
pend not upon men, but upon Hin who
gives you al you leed for life and eter-
nifty.
1t has not been easy for me to give
back this holy office into Gods hands.
The hand OF welcome brings 10y; the
hand of farewell bring SORROW. My
departure will be severe enough for
me. My way goes not alone from this
place, and this dear congregation,
but from this beloved adopted
fatherlsnd, at heart for a while. But
where is a Christian fatherland? Ev-
erywhere? No. Where everything goes
we'll with him? No. Heaven is our best
fatherland And 1t is my wish that in
the fatherland we meet again.
And now farewell. House OF God, In
which l was allowed to speak and tes-
tify Of the Holiness and Highest. Fare
well TO the pulpit, from which looked
into many a fond heart and loving eye.
Farewell, congregation, which served
as minister In the strength OF God. Fare
well. members OF the Church Council,

Farewell, you sisters and helpers In the
work OF love and mercv Farewell,

fellowship Of the Holy Spirit be with

not make their customary speeches.

vious meeting was dispensed with. Inc

cred as unfriendly TO unionism. John

the Organization Committee, aid the
vacancy was filed by the appointment
of J. II. Burtt

Labor Day celebration at Bellaire, in
accordance with the agreement made
by the Assembly's committee, came up
for consideration. 1t was unanimously
decided to instruct each delegate TO no
tify the union he repre- seuted, to turn
out. The celebration will take place on
September 21st. The local delegation
will engage band, aud will adopt a
suitable badge TO be worn In the parade.
Messrs. Minkemyer, Norrington and

committee to arrange for the affair.
This committee held meeting and APP
pointed Mr.. Norrington as marshal OF
the Wheeling delega ton.
A resolution was adopted approving
and endorsing the ohio Valley Farm
and Labor Journal, of which Mr.. Burtt
is one OF the editors.
The general committee for the Labor
Day demonstration reported that two
barrels of bread were not used at the
picnic, and asked what disposition
should be made of it. A motion was
passed to donate one-half TO the Or

orphans at the North Wheeling hos
pital.

GENTLEMEN:-Replying to your favor
of the 18th, we regret exceedingly to ad-
wise you that It has not been possible
for US to issue the Premium Library up
to No. 90. When we dated our books
ahead for publication in this series, II
was having a steady demand which we
had the facilities to supply. During the
past month, however, the orders became
so large that we were compelled to put
in two extra presses and we have
been kept constantly reprint
ing Nos. to 16 TO fill the
demand. 1t has been absolutely impos-
sibie for US to keep up issuing book a
week In the series. You cannot an
nounce any after No. 20 until that num-
Der goes out. No. II will go out on Mon
day, and even this shows that we have
not been able to keep up with our esti-
mates. No. is cannot go out until
Wednesday OF next week. We shall do
our best to have 10 and 90 completed
next week. Owing to the increasing
demand it is simply impossible for us to
announce any more books In advance
for publication.
Very truly yours,

A REAL MAD DOG,
CREATED WILD EXCITEMENT, YESTERDAY,
OVER IN MARTINS FERRY.
Four People Bitten BY the Animal, Which Was
Finally Shot, After Two Hours
Chase Through the Town.

Notwithstanding the extremely hot
weather Of yesterday afternoon, a good
many people took good deal OF vio-
lent exercise over In Martins Ferry.
The cause Of the excitement was the
raid upon the populace by mad dog.
Four people were bitten before the an
imal was cornered and killed, two
solid hours being spent in a wildly e1-
citing hunt for the canine, said hunt
having something more than a spice OF
danger connected with it,
The dog belonged to the genus mon
grel, family worthless, sub-order fest,
and was the property OF Charles Bird,
who resides at the corner OF Fourth
and Walnut streets. The beast began
to exhibit signs Of marked displeasure
soon after noon, and shortly afterwards
he began TO froth at the mouth and
show other convincing signs Of being
mad. His first attack was upon Mrs.
Adam Cess, who CHANGED to come
within reach. She was bitten In one
leg, thrown down and bitten
again, only making her escape
with great difficulty. Mrs. P. j. Row
ell was next attacked, and was also Bit
ten in one leg, but escaped with no
further injury. Two men, whose names
were not ascertained, went TO the aid Of
the two women, ard both were bitten.
BY this time crowd had collected and
a charge was made on the mad dog,
which retreated, attacking and bitinga
dog belonging to j. A. Bayless on the
way. The rabid ami mal was chased
around for nearly two hours, and was
finally shot and killed by William
Sweeney, in Birds yard.
The episode created a great deal OF
excitement in that portion OF Martins
Ferry, and large crowd collected and
took part in the hunt for the animal.
