REV. EDWARD p. GIBBS.

At the request of the family and friends
herewith send THE UNIvERsALIsT a brief
sketch of the life of REV. EDWARD p. GIBBS,
Unitarian, who died in Ian ing Mich, on the
18th inst. of diabetes and rheumatism after an
illness of over five years.
Bro. Gibbs was reared in Massachusetts and
at the age of sixteen enlisted In the navy artillery
and served for three years 10 the late war, COM
ing out In fair health, although the exposures
there endured were primarily the cause of his
final ailments On his return to private life his
mind was awakened to the sense of religious
life In the Methodist church and he engaged to
fit himself for the ministry under the advise
ment of the Rev. Mr.. Eaton, then resident of
Winchendon, Mass.
AS his Investigations continued he became
aware that he could not conscienti0usly sub
scribe to the tenets of the Methodist church,
and frankly told them as much. He shortly
after was ordained as Unitarian minister and
settled at Athol. Mass, when he remained for
four years. He was married to Miss Jennie l..
Sherman In 1866. His ministry in Massachusetts
and Michigan has EXTENDED up to few years
ago, his last pastorate being three years in
Grand Haven. Mich. At the close of his active
ministerial work. he entered the service of the

MRS. THEODOsIA HOOD.

MRS. THKoDosIA HOOD, aged So years. This
lifelong Universalist and faithful Christian
mother was born in Lynchburg, Virginia. Oct 9.
1911. She was united in marriage with DR..
Wilson B. Hood In 1880, and within the follow
ing year removed to Bloomington, Illinois, where
they resided for 80 years, locating afterward In
Clinton. Ill. For the past year Mrs. Hood had
resided with her daughter, Mrs. j. P. Clagg in
Webster City, Ia, where death came to her as
a gentle sleep on the morning of June 10, 1896.
There was no sickness, other than the gradual
yielding of her strength to the weight of years.
She was not afraid to 60 and had waited long
for that call which should summon her to the
home on high. Mrs. Hood was universally be-
loved. Her mind was thoughtful and her heart
obeyed the law of kindness. Both she and her
husband were early in life converted to the faith
of Uniyersalism and 1t proved to them both a
tower of strength. 1t was her light in dark
ness the source of her consolation in every
sorrow. Three daughters and son survive
her.
Appropriate funeral services were held in her
honor at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. j. p.
Clagg in Webster City, Ia. on the afternoon of
June II, 1896, the Rev. Mrs. S. l.. Crum offici-

people as public officer and served the people
as County Treasurer for two years. Some three
years ago he accepted position In the
State department at Lansing and immei iately
removed his family to that city where he has
lived ever since. His poor health. however,
kept him from mixing with the people to any
extent. hence his acquaintance in the city was
very limited.
His family and friends were regular attend
ants upon the Universalist church while here,
and his funeral service was conducted by Rev.
Chas. Legal at his late home. He leaves wife
and five children to mourn his early demise
Bro. Gibbs was of a hopeful disposition and by
his courteous manner and affable ways gained
friends wherever present. A gentleman of
modest demeanor, of answering integrity. and
full of sympathy for mankind. he leaves his
family an untarnished name and proud record
that will serve as solace for them iu the COM

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is iniamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an intlamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

irresolution presented in the house Of

abandoned the measure 1.-THE education

few days of futile striving to secure the

the resignation of Balfour, the house

opinion is that it is only deferred for a

triumph of political maneuvering for
