RESOLIr1IONc

Whereas, On Monday, the 2d dav of
November,A. D., 1896, it pleased the All
wise and Ncver-erring God to suddenly
remove from our board our dearly beloved
brother, Robert McClelland;
Therefore be it resolved by the board of
deacons of the First Presbyterian
Church, of Roanoke, Va,
First, That, while we bow in humble
submission to the will of our Heavenly
Father, we deeply mourn the loss Of one
who, by his ever Christian-like de
me9nor, endearcd himself to all who
Knew him, and especially to his brother
deacons That we deeply feel our loss of
one who was ever ready to devote his
time and talent to the Lords work: that
our church has lost i'll Brother McClcl-
land one of her most devoted and efficient
oillcers: that our community has lost one
OF her best citizens, and our city n most
worthy and energetic officer
Second, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathy to his sorely bcreavcd widow
ana daughter for the loss of n loving hus.
bhnd anu father, praying God, who is the
comforter of the widow and orphan. to he
with them and comfort them:
Third, That these resolutions be spread
upon our records, and that il copy he sent
to The widow of our deceased brother. and
copies he sent 10 the Roanoke city and
salem newspapers with request to pub
lish same.

ABRAHAM III. CANNON.

The death of Apostle Abraham H.
Cannon will be a shock to the whole
state. Few young men were better
known in this state, none more favor
ably. He was such man as men love
to meet, for he was an earnest, honest
and upright man. His nature was
deeply religious, but over it was suf-
fused a sweet charity. If one erred
his was the voice to plead for forgive
ness, and his hand was always extend
ed to the weak and weary, to comfort
whom was his greatest joy. While of
a deeply religious nature as we have
said, yet he was a broad and liberal
minded man, recognizing that all men
are Gods children, and that God ex-
tends his love to them all. A martyr
for the religion he loved he could easily
have been, a fanatic never. He made
friends Of all who knew him He was
a dutdful and loving son, a kind thus-
band and an indulgent father and a
good citizen. His death is a real loss
to the community. His family and his
father and brothers and sisters will
have the sympathy of all in their sad
bereavement. Their consolation will be
their religion and the knowledge of the
fact that he was a God-fearing man
and worthy of their love and respect
Large was his bounty and his soul

A CONSISTENT REPUBLICAN.

A Consistent Republican" writes to
the Pittsburg Post as follows:
I am Republican. 1 voted for the
first candidate in the party, viz, John
c. Fremont, which eliminated in the
abolishing of African slavery in the
United States. l cannot as a consistent
Republican now cast my vote to en-
slave the masses by giving gold the
power over the toiling millions, to i'm
pose a double burden on them, with but
half the allowance of straw to COM
plete the brick.
That is the sentiment of thousands
and tens of thousands of lifelong Re-
publicans. The power of the associ-
ated millionaires with their accumu-
lated millions of gold is such that they
are holding the people of the United
States in a bondage only less CALLING
than that in which the slave power of
the south held the negroes until a Lin
coin was raised UP to strike off the
shackles and set free four millions OF
human beings. It is natural that
those who stood by the great Lincoln
and aided him in the struggle for hui
man freedom should array themselves
on the side of those who today are
fighting to take from off the peoples
limbs the shackles placed there by the
gold power. The Republican who is
consistent in his adherence to the
teachings of the greatest Republican
of them all cannot vote for the st.
Louis platform and the man who stands
