with much applause, and vocal solos by
Mrs. Darand, Niss Willoughly- and Miss

we're also the patriotic songs by chor--
US of voices. The children took their
parts nicely and showed careful training.
Miss Ella Tomlinso who represented
-"Dags of AuId Lang Syne," gave an ar
ticle on Reading" that spoke well for
her acquaintance with the. subject. The
program closed with an original poem by
Miss Alkaline Smith. which in a novel
way set forth the object Of the enter
tainment and called for collection in
behalf of the school ubIarY. To this those
present generously responded and the
result was a neat sum of money for the
purpose. Avery interesting feature OF
the evening was the costumes and badg-
es. of those present who represented the
Books" nearly 30 being SO represented.
Mr. and Mrs Nicholas Wakelee, az "Sa-

character otthe evening, however, was
Mrs F. Dursnd who as Queen Victoria
represented "Leaves from the Queens
Diary" She could es silly have been mis-
taken for the queen herself, so strong q
resemblance was shown. She received
the prize for the best costume and Mrs

During the summer OF 1891, Mr. Chas.
P. Johnson, a we'll known attorney of
Louisville, KY, had a very severe attack
of summer complaint. Quite a number
of different remedies were.tried, but fall
ed to afford any relief. A friend who
knew what was needed procured him q
bottle of Cham berlsin's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which quickly
cured him and he thinks, saved his life.

since that time that he has not had this

1t is nothing to the disparagemento of
what have chosen for my text that the
word upon which / wish to lay the
emphasis ia not found in the original.
We might almost make play upon the
words and say: Fear God and keep
His commandments, for this is the whole
duty Of man-for this is the whole of
man-for this is the whole life of man"
Duty is 50 much the sum and substance
OF life that we may well say, to fear God
and keep His commandments Is the
whole duty of man or the whole Of man,
mal4lngthe two eEpFesslons-synonymous
and Identical.
There Is one supreme lesson which the
upright flag at every soldiers grave
will teach, and that is the lesson of faith
fulness to duty. What II the call for
men to spring to the defence Of the Union
had been disregarded! What II the
flower of our manhood had stood back
more than quarter of century ago,
valuing ease and dangerous peace above
obedience to duty! What il the severe
mandate of duty. had caused the men
who should have filled the ranks to be
more careful OF HE and to take mo long
look ahead! 1t Is foolish to speculate
now as to what the result might have
been Ii our country's call had come to
nnheedinR citizens, The flag was then
imperilled; 1t floats to-day above the
graves, OF Its defenders. There is not a
single star erased id its bright field Of
blue; Mason and Dixon's line, the line Of
the surveyors that became a line of
rancorous division, exists only as a mat
ter OF history; the bloody chasm is no
more; we even hesitate now to talk Of
the causes of the War, for a soft and
mellow tenderness has taken the place OF
bitter strife. All this has come about
because our brave men, torgetful of self;
setting thoughts of ease and safety
aside, heard the call of high duty, fol
lowed it, bowed themselves hombly be-
fore it, and triumphed as they grandly
fought under its Inspiration and goad-
ing strength. To us one and all, then,
comes ,this-voios from out the. Past Eapd
what IL the sermon be silent that our.
dead heroes preachl "We hesltated
not when duty called. The way we
trod is.the way TO live life nobly and
well, walk all ye that follow us.in it,"
Daniel Webster said Of dutys ssA-
sense OF duty pursues as ever It's ON
nlpreaent, like the Deity. II we take to-
ourselves the wings Of the morning and
dwell In the uttermost parts or the. sea,
duty performed or duty violated lsstilI.
with, as, for our happiness or our misery.
n we say darkness ahai cover us, In the
dark.as In. the light our obligations are
yet with us.o We could as soon run
away from duty as we could escape from
our own shadows. We could rs easily
get rid OF duty AZ we could. divorce the.
body from the soul. We could as readily
deny the The binding force Of duty az we
could deny our responsibility as sentient
and rational beings before God. Duty Is.
