claim in the following language, under

Anent the Certificates.

On Dec. 80. Supt. Nix wrote to the
Canadian minister of Education at Tor
cato stating that on the 22nd of Decem-
Der W. A. Milne had laid before the
Board of Examiners second class Pro-
fessional Certificate for Ontario and a
certain professional certificate which
was probably a non-professional First
Glass Certificate granted by the Educa-
tlonal Department of the Northwest Ter
rltories, and claimed that the two taken
together constitute First Glass Profess
slonal Certificate. In reply he received
letter from the deputy minister of Ed
ucation of the Province of Ontario which
reads as follows:
Dear sir: I am directed by the minis
Ter of Education to state in reply to Your
letter of the 30th ultimo, that VIM. A.

MOTHER KITZMILLER,
One OF Girard's Earliest Settlers,
Peacefully Passes Beyond Life's
Troubles.

From the Girard (Ill.) Gazette of
July 26, we copy the following, which
will be read with interest by many of
our readers
A gloom OF sorrow came over our
citizens Friday morning as the Baptist
Church bell pealed forth the death
warning upon the still morning air
notifying the people that Mother Mary
c. Kitzmiller, the wife of our esteemed
neighbor and citizen, Rev. N. V. Kitz-
miller, had been called to her haven
of rest by the all wise creator and pre-
server of the universe.
Mother Kitzmiller having lived in
our community for over thirty eight
years, was known far and near, and
had host Of friends, who deeply SYM
pathize with the husband and be.
reaved family in the loss Of dear wife
and mother. She had been ailing for
some weeks, suffering from lu1 and
q combina tion Of diseases which was
beyond medical skill to check. Thus
she fell peacefully asleep in the arms
OF her Savior Friday evening, July 20,
1894, surrounded by husband and chill
dren, to sleep the sleep that knows no
waking.
Her funeral took place Sunday after
noon from the Baptist Church, in which
she had worshiped in many years.
DIR. j. Buckley, of Surtcleff College,
Alton preached an appropriate sermon,
assisted by the pastor of the church,
Rev. Wiseman. The Church was
filled to overfowing, even the yard be.
ing filled with neighbors and friends
OF the deceased who were anxious to
pay tribute Of respect to the dead
whom they had loved in life. After
the services at the church the remains
were followed to Girard cemetery by
one OF the largest funeral professions
ever witnessed in this city, and there
laid to rest in mother earth. Friends
of the deceased covered the grave with
floral tributes in token OF the love and
esteem IN which she was held by all
who knew her.

IN MEMORIUM.

Where the bright headwaters OF the
beautiful Tennessee comes singing
down the mountain side, in full view
OF the loftiest domes east of the Rookie
with their silent grandeur leading
even the Christian heart to holier
worship Of natures God. There in the
sweet sunny land of Eastern Tennes.
see, in Washington County, on the Gath
day of June, 1928, little Mary came to
gladden. the home of Joseph and Eliza
beth Crouch. 1t was favorable to the
child's future that the family into
which God sent her to be q light, en-
joyed no small degree OF esteem in the
community where they lived. The
father for long term of years was in
trusted with official duties which he
performed with much credit to him.
self and honor to his home; and while
in that mountain homo the rule of
love to fellowmsn was inculcated, love
to God was not forgotten. The homo
was Christian. and the family, to-
gether with large connection by the
same name, constituted the working
force Of several Baptist Churches in
the county.
On the Goth day of April, 1s47, Mary
Crouch became the wife of Rev. w. V.
Kitzmiller. For nearly forty eight
years they have hand in hand walked
together in love. OF this union ten
children were born-three of whom
haye passed on before in childhood, or
early youth; seven, five sons and two
daughters, remain, all with families of
their own. These, with the husband
and father, all with a good hope in
Jesus, bids the time until they too shall
hear the message, "'Tis enough, come
up higher"
To speak of the life and labors of
Sister KitLmiller, is to put tax upon
words which we feel reluctant to i'm
pose. In her homo she was q queen,
wearing the rich and pure ornaments
Of meekness and love, and called by
husband and children alike by the
sweet and fitting name mother. The
rich perfume Of that name and life can
never be absent from the lives Of those
who knew her in her home. In society
the same adornment Of a quiet spirit
Was hers, and the place she won in the
hearts Of all is better told by the pre-
sencs of the large company than by
words. But the biography is told briefly
and best by saying, "She was Christ
ian."
In the fall Of 1S49, upon profession
of her faith in Jesus, she was by her
husband baptized into the fellowship
of the Baptist Church, at Buffalo Ridge,
near the old home in Tennessee. She
being the first person baptized by him.
In 1855 they moved with their little
family to this place, and for these
thirty eight years she has been known
in Girard as cheerful, helpful, hope
full loving, sympathizing Christian.
The anxious look and earnest inquiry
of hundreds Of our citizens while her
life lay trembling in the balance, at
tests the fact that in love her hands
had ministered to them in hours of
trial, and her lips had blossomed with
the comforting words Of God 3 promises.
The fact also that for more than thirty
years her husband was pastor Of the
Baptist Church is tribute of the wis
dom and the worth of both the living
and the dead. Her last illness, which
ended with the days ending Friday,
July 20, was borne by her as all other
