A service OF much interest was held
In the Trinity Sunday school In the morn
ing. II was the occasion OF reading the
attendance of officers. teachers. and schol-
airs for the past year, ana presenting
resolutions OF respect TO the memory or
their late superintendent, Mr.. charles r.
Rady. The attendance was very gratify-
ing TO the patrons OF the school, showing
1856 who had attended forty or more Sum
days during the year, and many had at
tended every Sabbath. one entire class
of six young ladies had attended school
every Sunday during the year.
After this report. resolutions OF respect
TO the memory of Mr.. Rady were offered,
and after feeling remarks by several
members OF the school these were unani-
mously adopted.
Among those who spoke were Messrs.
w. w. Hardwicke. c. =. Walford, J. $.
Lear. and w III. Curry. Many eyes were
filled with tears at the thought OF the
voice that Is stilled.'
In this connection n pretty circum-
stance in connection with Mr.. Rady's
family and the Sunday school he loved
and served so well should be stated:
The wife of the deceased superintendent
has always taken a deep interest In the
school. She Is the teacher OF a young
ladies' Bible class In the school, and the
record Of attendance on the part OF the
scholars for the year Just closed was lOt
| per cent.
It is thought that Mr.. c. +. Walford
present assistant superintendent OF the
school and leader in the singing. viii be
| elected 10 succeed Mr.. Rady. and this
selection would be very pleasing TO the
Sunday school and congregation. Mr.. Wal
ford is the same gentleman who has
been elected TO the clerkship OF the City
School Board as Mr. Rady's successor
| and II he is elected superintendent OF
| Trinity school this will be an interesting
| coincidence. Mr. Walford Is a very IN
telligent and exemplary Christian gentle
| man.

A praisie FIRE moves faster than any horse
can RIM No matter how speedy your
mount NAV be unless you have good start
of the fire il will overtake you. II is the
same way with many diseases. Unless you
pet a fair start. you cannot possibly shake
them of. The only hope for anyone who
l. threatened with serious disease Is 20
start in time, and seek safety before the
danger closes in about him.
The best thing for you, II you feel that
vour full bodily energy is lacking is TO
seek the strengthening, pcwer- producing
help OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery which confers upon the digestive
organs that keen zest Of appetite and as
sifnilation which transforms the food into
nourishing, health building blood, active
muscular force, nervous energy and rug
ged endurance.
DO not wait until dyspepsia spreads into
oliver complaint" and that turns into
bronchial trouble which finally verges into
consumption. DO not rely upon the delu-
sive stimulus Of malt extracts and sarsapa-
rillas and oily compounds; do not allow a
designing druggist who seeks only his own
profit rather than your health to foist any
boom medicine upon you. Insist upon
the remedy which is backed by thirty years
Of steadily increasing sales to attest its
constant usefulness and popularity.
The experience Of Mr.. Val Burkard. living at
