In MenlOriaill.

Mrs. i:liz;.hrih Sears died at her
home III Fork Township ut Sunset last
sunday. April 30. in her Slst year, she
having been born January =, 1919. She
had been Il sufferer for twenty i've
years. going much of the time on
crutchts. but not until recently did her
general health break down. For some
months past s!is. WAS never ont III het:
and declined steadily through great
suffering to the end.
She was Il daughter of John
Whit, and was born in Grecnville
County, where she spent her girlhOOd,
but removed with her parents to the
eastern side of this County, between
WillinmstOn and Bclton. Here August
~, 1935, she married William Sears,
who, the next year, served in the
guished Pierce NJ. Butler.
Mrs. Sears was the mother of thir-
teen children, all of whom grew to ma
tuq1ty. Eight OF these survive, includ-
ing four maiden daughters, upon whom
the sense of loss and bereavement
seems to bear most heavily, for they,
with the old mother, constituted the
immediate home circle. Three of her
five sons, the others being too young.
were IN the Confederate army, and
one. Jasper \. Sears, II member of the
Fourth S. G.. Volunteers, was killed in
the summer of 'G2. Her husband, who
WAS man of exemplary traits, died
nine years ago, and she assumed and
carried forward with excellent .iudg-
ment the affairs Of the farm and home.
She never made Il profession Of religion
till rather late in life, when she joined
the Methodist Church. She never
paraded her religion, never proclaimed
her piety from the h0usctops, but deep
down an her soul, we have reason to
believe, her faith was hid with Christ
i'll God, and in her last hours she tnlked
OF her feurlcssness of the King of Ter
rOrs. of the rest she would soon ent
upon i'll the mansions of glory and of
the greetings OF loved ones gone before.
Her body was laid to rest Monday
afternoon, ut Cedar Grove, beside that
OF her husband, in the presence of q
large cOncOurse Of friends, the services
being conducted by her pastor, Rev. l..

SCHOOLS OPEN TO-DAY.
Large Attendance Expected and the
Teachers Must "Toe the Mark"

The public schools of the city will re-
open to-day. There is promised an unu-
sua1ly large attendance for the beginning
of the midwinter term, at least so pre-
pict a number of the Directors The
teachers appointed by the new board will
begin their labors, while those who hold
appointments under the old board will con-
tinue in their positions for the present,
until the new board disposes of the many
knotty problems in this line that 1t has
to consider.
The reopening Of the schools is antici-
pated with an unusual pleasure by the
public, as under the rule of the board
just elected it is hoped that there will be
a purer state of affairs in the schools than
that which has heretofore existed Ow-
ing to the grip, which in some sections
OF the city is more pronounced than in
Others, the attendance, especially among
the younger children, may be somewhat
erected, but not TO any material extent.
AS far as the teachers are concerned it
cannot be denied that they are very much
put out by the action of the board as re-
CARDS its recent classification act. The
mem bers Of the board, from all that could
be learned yesterday, are determined to
stand together in this respect, anyway
1t is true that their action may affect
some of the teachers that it is not intend
ed for, but, as a prominent member of the
board said last night, there can be no
doubt but that the new board is on the
outlook for the city's good. and it will
adopt such measures as it deems best for
the city's interests, no matter whom these
measures may affect.
1t is generally thought that the outlook
is for a purer atmosphere in the schools
There will be kept a sharp lookout for
any stuffing of registers, and in no way
will the attendance be tempered with by
any of the teachers if the Directors can
prevent 1t.

Mr.. FARRAND'S ABSENCE
STARTS THE G0SSIPS
PASTOR OF HOWARD CHURCH
GOES EAST.
Elders of the Congregation Deny
That He Has Been Guilty Of
Wrong Doing as Hinted.

The Rev Fountain r. Farrand pastor
of Howard Presbyterian Church, did not
fill its pulpit yesterday, his place being
taken by the Rev. c. c. Herriot of Oak
land DR.. Farrand is in Los Angeles en-
route East, and is not expected to re-
sumo his former position in this city.
His hasty departure, taken in connec-
ton with the circumstances under which
he left, has given rise to rumors of mis-
conduct, which officers and members of
his pastorate affirm are entirely I'M
founded.
The charges which are limited at are to
the effect that DIR. Farrand paid too de-
voted attention to the young ladies Of his
congregation, and while exposure was i'm
minent several times the matter was sup
pressed. Many members of the congrega-
ton had never heard word OF scandal
breathed against their pastors name,
and expressed surprise yesterday when
the matter was preached to them.
Charles W. Pike, an elder of the church.
had heard of the scandalous stories about
the pastor. He said they had been eX-
aggerated and distorted until there was
not a semblance of truth in them. 1t was
true that a leave of absence had been
given DIR. Farrand and also that he had
closed his house here and might not re-
turn. He left hastily, as a relative in
This woman has since died.
Elder j. P. Prutzman one of the most
prominent members of the congregation,
said:
"If DR.. Farrand ever conducted him
self in a manner unbecoming a gentle
man and a Christian, to. say nothing of
a minister, I never heard of it, and l do
not believe he did. The parents of both
DR.. and Mrs. Farrand, who reside in the
East. are in Ill health. Because of this
fact and their advanced age DR.. Farrand
expressed desire to be near them, and
at his request he was given a three
months leave of absence, with full sal
ary to visit them, with the understand
ing that if he should secure a pulpit
which would enable him to remain near
his people he would not return. In view
of this publication attacking his charac-
ter he may feel compelled to return here
in self-defense. He is still pastor of the

HUMANITY's PREACHER.
Rev. J. A. B. Wilson Talks of Christ
and His Magic Gift.

At the Strangers Sabbath Home, How
ard street Methodist Episcopal Church,
yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. John
A. B. Wilson preached on the Magic Of
Touch" from Luke viii, 46. "And Jesus
said. somebody hath touched Me, for l
perceive that virtue has gone out Of me. Z"
He said in part:
Someone has recently said, What we
want in the pulpit Of to-day is not more
men but more man Jesus was ever and
always manly. Never truculent or hostile
to the rich as such. He was never patron
izng or sentimental with the poor. Back
Of all circumstances of fortune or misfor-
tune, Of honor or dishonor, Of virtue or
vice, of tinsel or tatters, He saw the hu-
mainly represented and dealt with that.
He was not a rich mans minister or a
poor mans pastor, but he was humanity s
preacher There is something in every
man worth more than his circumstances
and that is his humanity; the manhood Of
the man and the womanhood of the wo-
man.
He stopped on His way to the palatial
residence because poverty stricken in
valid needed Him. He put Himself In her
way and made troubled humanity clad in
greatness wait until relief was impaired
to humanity in lowliness, because 1t was
first within reach. We shall never be like
Jesus until we learn like Him to estimate
the worth of people by their humanity
rather than their circumstances, and then
1t is priceless"
