DIR. JOHN MILTON TODD,

A VOL Known bridgeport Physician dos
Full OF Years md HouorS.
Dr. J. NJ. Todd, for many years pro-
minent physician' OF bridgeport, died
at his home thore last evening at
6 o'clock, after an illness OF about three
years. uo was not only one OF tho
most prominent physicians and sur
peons OF Eastern Ohio, but was also an
influential Republican politician, and
had hold many posts Of honor and
trust. He was n surgeon in tho union
army, was for twenty-five years surgeon
for the Pennsylvania railroad company
and won distinction in both positions.
For eight years he was postmaster at
Bridgeport. He numbered among his
personal friends some Of the loading

field was one Of tho warmcst until his

He seemed to possess IN exceptionally
strong constitution until no was taken
III about Eve years ago, with peculiar
form OF uilment. ue became totally in
capacitated to help himself, oven TO the
extent Of inability TO raise his hand to
his mouth, the result Of trembling
palsy and brain and spinal disease.
Hence, during that period no has re-
ceived no food except what was fed to
him by his faithful nurse. Tho fact
that each hand was contorted and
gexed to right angles with its arm,
amounting to lislocation Of the wrist
Joint, and tho fingers OF each hand
drawn backward, approaching tho back
OF each hand, madO DR.. Todd's case tho
most remarkable ono that has over como
under tho observation OF tho many ply
sicians aud surgeons who visited this
abnormal case, or ever reported in tho
history OF medicine.
DR.. Todd had lain inaensiblO md un"
able to take any food or drink for SOW
eral days, and his death had boon OK
pccted to occur nt any moment.
Broad minded, biz hearted and strong
willed, no was man to mako warm
trionda and bitter enemies, but mono
who know him ever failed to respect his
good qualities, and his death will cause
general sorrow in his wide circle Of &C.
duaintanCes.

upon which Jesus stood as this.
There are different theories with re-
gard to Christianity. Some claim that
it is everythin. that is found in the
Bible, others that it is every thing that is
in the New Testament; but | want TO
deal tonight with Christianity in the
sense OF the simple teachings Of Jesus
OF Nazareth as given in the four gospels.
According to the account we find in
these writings, Jesus's doctrine was ex-
actly what we are teaching here Sunday
after Sunday. Jesus taught his disci
Piles that they should never pray in
public, that no rich man could enter
the kingdom Of heaven, and his king
dom was not above the clouds, it was
right here on earth. The only creed
Jesus ever enunciated was Thou shalt
love thy God with all thy heart and with
all thy soul, and thy neighbor as thy
self" and this is precisely the creed of
the church OF the New Era. Suppose
some honest soul from some distant
shore should come here looking for the
followers OF Jesus, and should find that
the Catholic church had 10l articles, the
Episcopalian 80. the Methodist %, etc.,
what would he do? Nothing would re-
main for him but to join this church and
come back to bedrock principles.

The gospel meeting was held in the
rooms OF the association at 107 N.
Spring street. 1t WAS we'll attended
and full of interest.
Miss Emma Rider conducted the
music. Mis- Morse announced that the
first death in the history Of the associa-
ton had taken place. Miss Mabel
Brown, who had been ill with diph-
iberia, died Saturday. Miss Morse
spoke briefly. but very touchingly, say

fore, tie was added to bind us to the
home over there, that personal in
terest was ours that had not been be-
fore, and Tor her departure we ehould
not mourn as those without hope.
Then followed a short service OF prayer,
especially remem boring the family and
friends of Miss Brown in their loss and
expressing the sympathy of the MEM
bers for them.
A solo was sung by Miss Anna Bogges,
entitled, "He Holds the Key"
The principal address was made by
Mrs. Cleveland, of the Memorial Baptist
church, upon the subject OF "Uncon-
scious Influence" The subject is go
important and is capable Of go large an
Interpretation that in the limited time
Mrs. Cleveland could only present a
synopsis, as it were, OF what might be
said upon it. She read in the 9TH
chapter of Matthew, the IA, 10 and 10th
verses: eye are the light of the world"
whether we wish to do 80 or not our
lives are exerting an influence for
good or bad upon those we as
sociate with directly, and from them the
influence goes out to others, and we
never know where will cease the effect
of our very smallest deeds. And we are
not always obliged to speak or act.
Sometimes look, very silence when
we might have spoken, will set in mo-
ton thought that we cannot recall. So
very important then. considered in this
light, is everything we do"
Mrs. Cleveland said further: "We
can all remember some personal infu-
ence in our own lives-some friend or
teacher--and what they said is still
having it's effect upon the world around
US. Then how shall we prepare to be
the best influence in the world? By
having His thought the motive of our
lives. we are the ambassadors of Christ.
and if that, then take care to live as
His ambassadors should.
'Those who are not Christians make
us study-only life hidden with
Christ but showing to the world the
results can bear such scrutiny.
"That Christ would make our lives
sweeter and better, that nothing done
for Him would be hard and that He
would guide us step by step in our dali
ly lives. we should not question"
Next Sunday Miss Rider will conduct
a song service, and invited each one to
suggest some favorite hymn and give
something OF interest in connection
with it.
Monday evening will be given a talk
by DR.. Ellis upon the eye, and this will
be followed by social. All are in
ylted.

In the morning at the New Era
church the subject of discussion was.
"Would Christianity promote the cause
of lsbor?" The opening paper was
read by Christian Michaelson, who took
the negative side, followed by an ad-
dress by j d. Steele in the aft irma alive,
after which brief speeches were made by
Messrs. Cannon, Savage, Robson. Lar
kin, Van Slyke and Coleman. The sub
ject next week will be, sis the daily
press conducted in the interest of the
people?"
Ia the evening Prof. Bowman spoke
on the subject of Christianity and
Theology lie said:
My subject 10 Christianity and The
ology, and as in the course of my dis
course shall probably have occasion to
mention the name of Jesus, l may here
remark that little anecdote which re-
lated at Sacramento in which his name
appeared, hae given serious offense to
ones OF the pious editors of Los Ange-

These events are given twice eech year,

pate in large numbers and all OF the
various events are interesting. Con-
siderable interest centers in the foot
races in which G. V. Howard. the local
champion, Jim Ryan, AK Gut rie and
@. e. Patterson are entered. Howard is
said to be in splendid condition, while
Ryan has been getting in some good
licks. Guthrie has gained speed since
his last appearance, and Patterson has
his eyes on the mile run. Hoyt of Long
Beach, who defeated Howard last No
vember in the 100.yard dash. has not
been heard from. and it is not known
whether or not he will compete. Among
the cylcists UTRECHT, the famous Chi
cago rider. hut now OF Los Angeles, has
been mentioned. Among those who
will ride against him is Clyde Wash

Yesterday morning he spoke from two
passages of scripture presenting the sub

Power is from God and Interchangeable !;
method is from man and must be con
