and which is liable to shift whenever the
weather vane of opinion changes.

who loved him dearly. He will be re-
membered here as the founder OF the
Bethel Mission, He was converted dur
ing the great revival conducted here
by Rev. Dixie Williams four years
ago. At that time he was u section

ming into this city. Immediately upon
his conversion he began to work for
the cause OF religion and founded the
first Bethel Mission. II started with
only seven scholars. but the wonder
full magnetism OF the young devotee
soon caused It TO grow In number and
spread until now 1900 people in the
various branch missions In the state
are preached to every Sunday. Mr..
Hodges was a man possessed OF re-
markablc sweetness of disposition and
had wonderful influence with chill
dren. His sacrifice Of personal comfort
and general unsclfishness while at
work here have never been equaled
and no one can hope to surpass his
work here in visiting the sick and re-
claiming drunkards. He was IA remark
ably successful man for his years, be-
ing only "a. and was doing noble
work In the distant land to which he
had been assigned.
lie was reared In Abilene where his
father still lives. and spent his boy
MOOD years working on a farm, which
he left II short while before his CONVEX
son Ia work on the rnilroad. Though
without any education to speak OF, he
was u man Of remarkable natural ubn-
ny aud magnetism, and this combined
with his uusclnshucss and indetntiga-

lady determined 20 prepare herself
to help In his work and follow him
there. She went TO New York and has
remained there receiving instruction
In the Chinese language and other
knowledge concerning her proposed

a letter from her distant lover, full OF
hope for the future and stating that
he was well ana prosperlng In the work
Tho same day ON which the letter ar
rived, little later, she received u ca
blegrum announcing his death
Nothing beyond the bare news OF his
death has been iecelyed as yet. How
