MIR. CONFER STILL ALIVE.
His Mind Was Bright and Clear Yes
ferday.

At an early hour this morning Mr.. IL.
VI. Conner was stiI alive, but with every
indication that the end was not far off.
His physicians had not expected him to
live through the night, but it seems THAI
the remarkable vitality which has sus-
tanned the stricken man throughout is not
yet exhausted.
The end was expected al almost any
time yesterday. At O'Clock he suffered
from hemorrhage, apparently from the
throat. which weakened him very much,
but from which he rallied. 1t was the
opinion of the physicians that he would
not be able TO survive another hemorrhage
which might be expected at any moment.
Notwithstanding his weakened condition
Mr. Corners mind was bright and clear,
more so in fact than for the last several
days and he was able to converse with
the members Of his family and a few init
mate friends, who were admitted to his
bedside. He realized fuzzy his condition
but was as calm and undsturbed in mind
as if he had many years Of life before him
There is hardly reason to hope that he
will survive another day.

the gospel of Christ, and sorrow to know

quent sermon, taking the chapter verse

the meaning of the Apostle, and applying
his teachings and precepts to the needs
and temptations of everyday life. He

sympathy and prayers would follow him
TO his new home and field of labor, and
offering to serve the church in any ca
pacity possible until another pastor had
been secured At the end of the service a
large number of persons with hand shakes
and good wishes bade DR.. Chapman good

to leave all negotiations for new pastor
in the hands of the deacons, and when
they have agreed on some available min
