MEMORIAL SERVICE.

BY the aid OF the choir and Others a
most impressive service WAS held Sunday
night at the Falls church..
A beautifully draped picture OF the late
Frances T.. Willard stood on the platform.
Potted plants, flags and bunting added to
the beauty OF the church which is of it
self attractive. The most important feat
ures OF the noted leaders life were indi-
Gated by Mrs Lynch, Miss Whitaker and
NJ ISIS Davis.
The choir, led by Mrs. Joy, render ed
an anthem and led the audience in the
singing of Miss Wizards favorite hymns.
The pastor, Rev. f. l.. Hunt, spoke
briefly. He alluded to the private and
public career OF Miss Willard, and mem
toned what was the great secret OF her
life, Christ filled, Holy Spirit baptized
life.
strong appeal was made to the young
people in particular to emulate her virtues
to be true to themselves and TO God. The
church was packed to the doors and extra
seats had to be brought ill.,

Senator Lodge, in his "Story of the
says of the Declaration of Independence
"Despite its general acceptance, which
showed its political strength, it WAS a
great and memorable document. From
that day to this it has been listened to
with reverence by a people who have
grown to be great nation, and equally
from that day to this it has been the
subject of severe criticism. The rever-
ence is right, the criticism misplaced,
and founded on misunderstanding.
The declaration is divided into two
parts: First, the statement of certain
| general principles OF the rights of men
and peoples, and secondly, an attack on
George LII. as tyrant, setting forth in a
series OF propositions the wrongs done by
him to the Americans which justifi
them in rebellion. Criticism has been
| directed first against the attack on the
king, then to the originality Of the
doctrines enunciated, then against the
statement OF the rights OF man, Jeffer-
sons 'self-evident truths, and finally
against the style.
1.-THE last criticism is easily disposed Of.
Year after year, for more than a century,
the Declaration OF Independence has been
solemnly read in every city, town, and
hamlet OF the United States to thousands
OF Americans who have heard it over and
over again, and who listen to it in rever-
ent silence and rejoice that it is theirs to
read. IL it had been badly written, the
most robust patriotism would be inca
pable OF this habit. False rhetoric or tur-
gid sentences would have been their own
death-warrant, and the prevailing Amer
lean sense of humor would have seen to
its execution. The mere fact that Jeffer-
sons words have stood successfully this
endless repetition is infallible proof that
the declaration has the true and high
literary quality which alone could have
preserved through such trials it's impress
siveness and its SAVIOR. To those who will
study the declaration carefully from the
literary side, it is soon apparent that the
English is fine, the tone noble and digni-
fed, and the style strong, clear, and i'm
posing"

WHAT IT INDICATES.

Nothing so interferes with ones plans
or ambition like sickness or poor health.
Have you ever thought that your kidneys
can easily find out by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in
the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order
1t is a source of comfort to know that
DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root is the great
remedy for all kidney and bladder COM
plants. 1t relieves pain, stitch or dull
aching in the back, difficult or painful
urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night. The mild and extraor-
binary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. Its action is gentle, yet imme-
date, the relief speedy and the cures per-
manent. At druggists, fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample bot
tie and pamphlet, both sent free by
mail, upon receipt of three two-cent
stamps to cover cost of postage on the
bottle. Mention THE ELLSWORTH AMERI-
CAN and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, n. Y. The proprie-
tors of this paper guarantee the genuine
ness of this offer.
