day than we ever saw there at one tim e
before. They came to hear holiness
preached, and they were not disap-
pointed The preacher held the un-
divided attention of his audience from
the first to the closing sermon of the
two weeks services. He stood as a
man Of God, bearing heavens direct
message to dying men; and heart and
conscience of old and young, of believers
and unbelievers, felt the impression of
the solemn message. AS a result of the
meeting, there were III conversions and
sanctiiications. All denominations
worked together for the glory OF God,
and our ep tire neighborhOod was great
ly blessed by the meeting There are
many happy hearts in and around
our little village that few weeks ago
were burdened with sin, and nearly
every family have erected family
altar at their home. Thirteen were re-
ceived into the Methodist church
during the meeting Some people have
said that only the lower class of people
accept sanctification, but we truthfully
say that some of our very best people
have professed it and are living it daily.
Many of Gods dear children have
said, LET others do as they will, but as
for me, I'll 90 with Him all the way"
As the choir sang the closing hymn,
"God be With You Till We Meet Again, !"
as many as could pressed forward and
grasped the preachers hand, and their
hearts doubtless echoed the sentiment
of the hymn, "God be with you, dear
brother in the Lord" Bro. Matheny
has done great work at this place.
We bid him godspeed in his great work
of preaching holiness.

morning of November llth, at about :
O'clock at her fathers home, Mrs. Belle
KNOBS, wife of T.. J. KNOBS, peacefully
fell asleep in Jesus, to be awakened by
angelic voices on the other side of the
river. She was noble Young woman
about "A years of age. Having pro-
fessed religion two years ago, she fol-
lowed faithfully and earnestly her con-
victions of right. We have known her
from childhood, and can say that no
one ever possessed purer, gentler, no.
bier heart than Belle; and If the record
of life, fragrant as this is with worthy
aspirations and good deeds and gener-
Gus intent, be claim to rest and happi-
ness hereafter, they are hers forever
more. She leaves behind one little
child, a broken. hearted husba nd, father,
mother, five sisters and three brothers,
who will miss her loving kindness and
affectionate attention; but they have
an abiding faith that their loss is her
gain. Funeral services were conducted
by Revs, Bone and Heregus,after which
she was laid to rest in the graveyard
near Berlin to await the resurrection of
the saints.
We, too, will go over the river OF rest,
AS the strong and the lovely before us have
gone;
Our sun will go down in the beautiful
west,
To rise in the glory that circles the throne
Until then we are bound by our love and
our faith
To the saints who are walking in Paradise

They have passed beyond sight Mt the touch

But they live like ourselves in Gods infinite

CRUISE OF THE TOLNA,
The Count and Countess Fes.
tetics in Far German
New Britain.
Are Studying the Bronzed Savages
On Their Native Heath and Col.
lecting Rare Curios.

By the last steamer which arrived here
from Hawaii it was learned that the Count
and Countess Festetics had sailed on their
yacht, the Tolna, among the islands of
New Britain.
At last accounts they were ct the island
of Mioko, of German New Britain, where
they were studying the savages and making
collections of various souvenirs of the
islands
They are moving about as the whim
takes them, having no well defined plans,
but staying as long in given place as it
is found interesting.
Then the PROV Of the Tolna is turned
and they go somewhere else. 1t is said to
be their intention, however, to stay long
time in the islands of New Britain.
There are many of them, and in some Of
capped mountains. The Augusta River
in German New Guinea is navigable for
200 miles, and passes through a country
but little known and of remarkable in
terest.
1t is not improbable that they may
ascend this river and study the bronZed
savages in all their wildness in their
natural Businesses.
For long time the Count has eschewed
newspapers altogether. Neither does he
communicate with his friends, so that the
Count and Countess are for period TO ali
intents out of the world. 1t is not known
when they will conclude to return home.
This is the first news that has been
heard of the Tolna and her cruise for q
long time.

MODERN GUATEMALA.
Californian Commissioned to Cover
Its Houses of Congress With
Aluminium.

Frank Weitman of this City has under
taken a novel com mission in Central Amer
lea. He claimed few days ago that it
was the first of its kind in the whole wide
world, and some of his friends-comp petit
tors. in fact-were anxious to know how it
all would end.
Mr.. Weitman sailed from this port on
the City of Sydney Thursday. His des-
tination was Guatemala City and his mis-
sion the fulfllment of a contract with the
Guatemalan Government to cover the roof
of the Capitol with aluminium.
He is metal worker possessed of excep-
tional skill in the treatment and handling
of metals. Recently he was connected
with a prominent firm in Oakland, but if
his commission from the Central Ameri-
can Government be managed successfully
it is said he will never be compelled to
work as a tradesman again.
The work of covering the roof of the
Guatemalan houses Of Congress is said to
be stupendous. 1t will take from eight
months to year with large force of men
working late and early to complete the
covering. And when finished it will be
the only roof of Its kind in existence.
There is more than one reason for t. is
aluminium roof. First OF all the soft-toned
white metal is expected to preserve its
color and consequently be highly orna-
mental and imposing. Again. its light
ness has entered largely into the consider
alton of the architects, as the roof itself is
immense and the spans of more than ordi-
nary extent.
1t will be year at least before Mr.. Welt
man returns to tell of the experiment.
