anyway, Gun readers seem to like It.

THE Rev. ]. Lester Wells was a man
of such simple, sincere, and benevolent
character that nobody ever knew hin
without holding him in affection and es-
TEEN. He not only meant to do good, but
he did good. His personal influence was
healthy and stimulating because it en-
couraged confidence in human goodness.
His labors were fruitful of good, because
they were conceived in the heart and exc
cuted with absolute u-nselhshness, with
complete concentration of win upon the
good of others.
sThe News mourns Mr.. Wells as a
loss not only to his church n to the fine
institution to which he devoted his best
efforts, but also to the city at large, and
to all who admire and respect that piety
which blossoms in works of beneyolence.
