Successful Meeting Last Night.
Continued and Increasing Interest.
Evangelist Romig's sermon last
night was soul stirring, his subject
being "The Wise Lepers," the text
from second Kings, 7:3, ''Why sit
we here until we die?" He exalt-
ed the resolution of the lepers III
making a move, doing something
for their welfare, and continuing
be made the application spiritual
bringing out the enternal import
ance, of those who are without
Christ awaking to the necessity Of
seeking reconciliation with God,
ere too late.
One striking feature Of these
meetings, is the entire absence of
everything of a sensational charac-
ter, no attempt is made to work on
the emotional nature; the audiences
are never voted" the singers solos
are always on Scriptural themes
and the sermons of the preacher
are of the simplest order, abound
ing in plain bible teaching. The
plain truth is told and sung in
plain English. with no attempt at
euphonions establishment.

from barley, while in Spain and
Britain wheat was used for mailing.

CARL G.. CATE.

lHtu
Out of my grief and my impatience
Answered neglectingly. "-Shakespeare.
When one is extensively connected with
Others and his departure from the world
sewers bonds which have connected him
with many Others a common sorrow
seems to rest lighter because borne by so
many. But when man from his habits,
tastes and manners of life is less intrusive
in society and less inclined to mingle in
comes more attached to those whom he
is more constantly in touch with and his
relations to those few, and theirs to him,
are more sincere than that cold and
heartless intercourse that men mispend
the better and sometimes greater part
of their lives in. And so grief is greatest
when most retired, deepest and most sim
cere when most restricted, most alone.
The devotion of man to earthly objects
is from it's nature lessened by division
and distribution. 1t may be broadened,
diversified and the objects of such devo-
ton be multiplied, but it is thus rendered
diffusive and loses its strength and sub
stance.
And now in just this situation a little
group is mourning the loss of man
whose life was filled with instincts and
sentiments of home, and who after many
weary months of care and nightly vigils
at the bedside of others sank down ex-
hausted on his own, and after lingering
sickness died at his home on Derby street
in this village last Sabbath morning at
the age of II years.
Carl G. Cate was a son of the late Earl
Cate. The latter was one OF the early
settlers of Charleston, who going up
'the long hill" found and made very
productive farm, which gave him such
abundant returns for his honest industry
that he soon found himself down in the
village engaged in the mercantile bust
ness, ensconced with comfortable conf
dence of his townsmen. But cruel fire
as if envious of his frugal store licked up
his substance, while he barely escaped
rescuing his wife from the flames. In
1882 the son Carl came to this village
and made himself home, and resided
here to the time OF his death, living as a
quiet, peaceable, respectable and law
abiding citizen, good neighbor, hui
name man, indulgent father, a kind hus-
band and an honest man. He leaves a
wife, formerly Miss Betsey Morse, and a
daughter, now Mrs. E. E. Gonya. The
funeral was held Tuesday, at his late
residence. Mr.. Cate died firm in the faith
of universal salvation. His funeral ser
vices were conducted in accordance with
his wishes, he having arranged all the
details. Porter H. Dale offered prayer
read appropriate passages of scripture
and concluded brief remarks with the
Arabian poem "After Death"
And now that our friend and neighbor
has come and gone like Others let us not
answer this or any other of deaths sum
mons "neglectingly." If it comes in fit
ting time, especially at the time wher
natures God has wisely provided fol
dissolution and decay let us all move
gracefully along with natures mighty
mysterious yet harmonious evolutions
each one saying as he goes sc is well.
