INTEREST IN THE ESTATE
There has been no end OF speculation.
| and surrnise as to the last will and tesla
ment OF Major Ginter. as well as guesses
| at his wealth.
AS to his will. nobody has any accurate
information regarding II. The lawyer,
| who was engaged TO draw II up. is beiev-
| ed TO have made only n rough draft, or
form OF Il. and the actual will was writ
| ten by Major Ginter with his own hand,
| Il is believed.
Christ Episcopal church. Of which Rev.
! Preston Nash Is the rector. was always
| an object of interest to Major Ginter.
! lie is said 20 have contributed s. 10 the
| plate there every Sunday, besides giving
| other large amounts frequently. and he
| sent 10000 bricks to the new Sunday
school Of that church. when IL was rebuilt,
AT ST PAUL'S SUNDAY.
| Major Ginter was n regular attendant
/ uoon the services Of St Pauls church
| and the congregation there was sad
| dened one Sunday, at the thought of the
] death of that good man.
| The usual services, morning and even
| ing, were conducted as usual by the rec
| tor. DR.. Carmichael and his assistant,
| Rev. Mr.. Ridout.
| No direct allusion was made to the
| death of Major Ginter. though part of
| the sermon of Dr. Carmichael in the
| evening was supposed TO refer to that SAD
| fact.
| DIR .Carmichaels text was taken from
| the ninth chapter of st. Johns gaspel,
| fourth verse 'T must work the works
| of him that sent me, while it is day; the
nigh. cometh. when no name can work
| The reverend gentleman spoke of the
| ministerial work of our Saviour as a
brief, but exceedingly busy one. In which
were crowded so many events, as TO as
| tonish us.
He said that the word might was
| here used by St. John in its symbolical
| sense. the day being the life which
| Christ was then fulfilling and the night
| at the end of II was death
DIT. Carmichael said all great truths are
! truisms, and people object sometimes to
/ truths emphasized in speech. or SER
mon, because a truism is uttered. but he
| thought to call thing a truism is to
witness TO it's solemn eternal truthful
ness.
After reciting the stubborn fact ard
| truism that some day we mus die he.
declared that The gospel does not bid US
| TO look no, bidly on life. and that st.
Paul bids us have no fear of death.
| RICH AND CHARITABLE
We might, said he. as national beings
to recognize the fact that death must
come and that we must do certain du-
ties. the time for which is indefinite, for
the night is coming, when we can work
no longer.
Night is not only the symbol of death,
but OF the dark side of human life. and
the tragedies of life, the blood, raplne,
death and honors, are OF the night with
woeful tragedies. besides those that are
told of in the newspapers. the bringing
OF households from plenty 10 want the
sword that cuts off the sole support OF
many
Continuing, DR. Carmichael said: Shall
we set all things right at The last mement
when death has his grip on us, when the
last breath is leaving us? We are IKE
people who having been selfish and mig
gardly all their lives, when they cannot
