HIS PARTING WORDS.
REV. H. NJ. GREEN CLOSES
His Ministerial LabOrs in
st. Paul's Church.
AN EXCELLENT SERMON
Morning to a Large Congrega-
tiou-A Plea For Broad Minded Toll
erance in Religion-wi1l Go to
Fostoria for Next Sunday.

At the ST. Paul's Episcopal church yes
terday morning, Rev II. NJ. Green, the
departing rector, preached his farewell
sermon. He took for his text John 23 :21 /:
He that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.
The speaker, in his sermon, referred to
the fact that no church had all the truth,
and that no member of the church could
say that he alone was doing the whole
truth. Christ alone has this, and He
only will be able In the future to do so.
He is the model for us, and we must
strive after Him, but it is hopeless task
to attempt to equal Him in piety and
goodness.
The speaker declared that all men were
welcome to any belief they chose to adopt,
but that no man had right to declare
that his religious belief only could save q
penitent sinner. But belief in Jesus
Christ end endowment of the Holy Spirit
from on high alone can save.
In concluding he said: ~ am glad
about the church work that has been
done will give you no statistical details
have no use for them. We are church
men following Christ, and you will find
that If you will work 1t out with earnest
ness and with every energy and gift you
possess, that it will take all the time you
have, knowing nothing about high and
low ritualism, and you will be con-
tent with that great name in all condi-
tions of. .lfe
Let us be satisfied with this simple
name; let us uphold the hands of him
who ministers to us; let us also uphold
the hands of the vestry; so that these
three-minister vestry, and congregation
WILL make three-fold cord that cannot
be broken.
The sermon was attentively listened to
by large congregation, completely fill
ing the house. and many words of regret
on Rev. Green's departure were heard
after the services.
He has built up the church from a
mere handful to its present splendid con-
dition, and 1t will be hard to find man
equal to him in executive ability.
Rev. Green and family will leave Can
ton for Fostoria on Saturday afternoon,
and he expects to preach there next
Sunday.

Families Assemble 800 Strong
I'm Lawrence Township.

The annual reunion Of the Dewalt-
Danner families was held at the home of
Philip Danner, in Lawrence township, on
Saturday, the gath inst. 1t was one of
the largest and pleasantest gatherings of
this kind ever held. Over 300 were in at
endance, twenty being there from Can
ton. The provisions and preparations
were all bountiful and well managed. The
brass band from Manchester was present
and rendered some very fine music. Rev.
VIM Elliott of the Presbyterian church,
and Rev. J. A. Baichley, of the Reformed
church, In Canal Fulton were in attend
ance, and took part in the pleasant and
entertaining exercises. Miss Mary Dan
ner daughter of the family who so royalty
entertained, opened the exercises with
most fitting and eloquent address of well
come. Mrs. Alice Danner Jones read a
very entertaining and instructive address
on Country Lads and Lasses." John
Danner read historical paper on the De-
walt and Danner family. X. A. Cassidy
was in attendance, and gave very spir-
tied and entertaining talk in his usual
and happy style, from the fact that he at
one time resided In Centre county, Pa,
where the Dewalt- -Danner families came
from, afforded him many points to
talk from to the ediflcation of those pres
ent. Edith Jones and Alice Campbell
each had recitations, which were deliv-
cred in happy style.
At $3.50 they adjourned to meet next
year the fourth Saturday in August, with
VIM. jackson, at McDonaldsville. About 4
O'Clock the crowd began to disperse, with
many expressions of delight that they had
been present and with the hope that the
lives Of those present might be spared to
meet on many similar occasions. Those
present from Canton were: Mrs. Rather
inc Howenstine, Daniel Dewalt, Mrs.
Henry Bowen and daughter Mrs George
Bowen and children, Mrs Laura M. De-
walt and two children, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Danner, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. M. Jones

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Stark County Educators Meet
Here to Compare Notes
and be Instructed.
A GOOD LOOKING CROWD.

The First Session Opened this Morn
ing-The Meetings will Last Five
Days-Prominent Lecturers Present
-Thoughts on Institutes and Spelling.
The thirty-first annual meeting of the
Stark County Teachers Association
opened at 10 O'Clock this morning in the
high school building. From the large
number present at the first session, and
the active interest manifest, this bids fair
to be week full of pleasant experiences
for those whose duty 1t Is to teach the
young idea how to shoot. The institute
will continue over Friday.
The instructors are Judge Andrew S.
Draper, of New York, and Hon. Henry
Honk, of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Houk is a
prime favorite here, having been in Can
ton before. Judge Draper is a man of
note. He was a member of the Alabama
commission, and Tuesday night he will
lecture ON the work Of that important
body.
When President G. l.. Hiner called the
institute to order this morning, there
We're about forty teachers present. 1t was
quite an intelligent looking assembly,
and Stark county has reason to be proud
of her corps of public instructors. NJ. W.
Oberlin is secretary of the institute.
The exercises opened with singing,
"Praise God From Whom All Blessings
Flow" led by Prof. Rea.
In order to have the teachers under
stand just what an institute was and
what 1t was not, at the start, Judge
Draper was called upon TO tell them. He
spoke for half an hour most entertain
ingly. He said the first institutes were
held about sixty years ago, at Ithca, n.
Y. His idea was that an institute proper
was under legal sanction while teachers
association meeting was not so, neces-
sarily. The judge held that institutes
should not be held in vacation, but rather
during school time, and teachers should
RECEIVE THEIR PAY.
and be compelled to go or forfeit their
certificate He would require every teach
or In the county to attend.
Mr.. Houk spoke upon Orthography. |"
He believed in drilling the young minds
in the old fundamental branches Of the
fathers Spelling was good, and reading
was one of the greatest things In educa'
tion. He said 1t was mistake that some
people could not learn to spell. Deter
mined application would work wonders,
Mr.. Houk speaks in an informal, unos-
tentatious manner, literally spioing his
remarks with good humor, and he Is al
ways impressive.

MR.. sTOLBERG RETIRES.
He Leads the Y. NJ. G. A. Meeting
Sunday and Will Leave Town
This Week

The Sunday afternoon meeting at Y.
NC. A. yesterday, was the best attend
ed meeting of any held this year. Chas
A. Stolberg, the departing physical direc-
tor of the association led the meeting,
and made an excellent address to those
present, urging them to continue in the
good work until the end. He spoke of the
pleasant relations that had always existed
between him and the members of the as
sociation, and wished them success in the
future.
Mr.. Stolberg will leave Canton for Phil
adelphia on Friday night at 9:20, and a
crowd will probably see him off.
He has been here for four years. and
always did his work faithfully, and 1t is
safe to say that when he leaves Canton he
will not leave one acquaintance who does
not wish him success in his future work.

SILVER DEMOCRATS.
Are Very Well Pleased With
Campbell as a
Candidate.
THURMAN, IKE HILL

And other Free Silver Democrats Say
the Platform suits them Campbell
Strong Candidate and Will Roll mp
His Sleeves and Win.
A special from Columbus to the Pitts
burg Dispatch says that the conoensus of
opinion among politicians there Is that
the nomination of James Campbell has
put heart into the democrats of Ohio. 1t
has assured q democratic campaign. 1t
has given the contest a national import
ance. 1t has done more than anything
else would have done to harmonize the
factional differences and settle personal
disputes. Democrats are already talking
of Campbell as candidate for president,
and they will make the fight for him for
governor on that basis. The republicans
had confidently expected weak candidate
to oppose, but none of them can deny
Campell's strength or popularity. The
Dispatch correspondent has talked with
twenty prominent republicans, and they
all admitted that he was the candidate
most to be feared.
MIR. BRICE AND HIS BAR'L.
Stories were circulated that Campbell
was induced to take the nomination by
the offer of Brice to pay all campaign ex.
penses. Another story Is that Campbell
Is to receive bonus for making the cam
paign in a republican state The only
basis for these statements Is the agree
ment of Brice that the state campaign
fund shall be fairly divided between the
state tickets and the legislative tickets.
In other words, the committee Is not TO
be used as a private machine for Brice's
success but equal efforts are to be made
for the election of democratic governor
and democratic legislature. - w.
Ex-Governor Campbell proposes to
point out that back of Bushnell is Fora
ker, and back of Foraker the Cincinnati
gang" As yesterdays convention
healed the factional opposition to Camp
bell In Cincinnati, he hopesifor a majority
from the county which went against him
so strongly four years ago.
CAMPBELL IN PERSONAL COMMAND.
81 will try to win, is the terse remark
of Campbell to his friends since the nomi-
nation.
He will be here next Thursday when
the new democratic committee will meet
for organization, and he will personally
direct the most aggressive campaign his
party has made in many years
Congratulations have poured In upon
NhulpDOil uCulOOlhpo III ONClg
state In the Union, beginning an hour
after the nomination. Congressman Sorg
was the first to say: Success awaits
you"
The intimation is given out tonight
that the entire strength of the Cleveland
administration will be concentrated in an
attempt to carry Ohio. President Cleve-
lands fondness for Campbell Is well
known, and when the campaign opens,
speeches are expected from the most elo-
quent followers of Cleveland, and posi-
bly, from Cleveland himself.
The silver democrats promise to sup
port the ticket. Allen W. Thurman, one
of the leaders, says:
81 will support Campbell to the best OF
my ability. 1 won't find the least trouble
in securing words from the platform tc

ALL SETTLED UP.

John Buss, the hotel man of Navarro, was in
Canton Wednesday looking up Howard K,
Devices Buss claimed Devices secured some
money and horse and buggy by giving him a
check on the Central Savings bank here when
he had no money on deposit Buss was very
mad and had filed complaint against Devices
at Navarro. The matter WAS all satisfactorily
adjusted last evening. Devices claims that the
money was in the bank when the check was
drawn but he had running account there and
had drawn out pretty close.

STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
A Meeting to Be Held Thursday-Chas.
M. Anderson, for Chairman.

Columbus, August ga meeting of
the democratic state central committee
chosen at the Springfield convention will
be held at the Neil house In this city on
August 80 for the purpose of organizing
and selecting an executive committee, and
men to manage the campaign.
1t is stated as settled that Hon. Charles
M. Anderson, of DarkG county, will be
selected as chairman of the committee,
and Col. S. X. Donavin is talked of for
secretary, though he says he does not
want the place. Col. Donavin is one Of
Brice's managers in Ohio and Anderson
is understood to be acceptable to both
Campbell and Bice.
The democrats at Campell's home want
the campaign opened here, because Bush
nell opens at his home, Springfield. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that the cam
paign will open at Hamilton. 1t Is not
believed that Mr. Campbell favors 1t.
