The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-12-13

Rev. Stephen A. Whitford, ono of the
best beloved pastors that ever held a
charge at Hope, delivered a Thanksgiv-
ing sermon to his congregation in Lako-
to, and the Herald man deemed it good
enough to print the whole of it in his
last weeks issue. While here Rer. Whit
ford impressed all with his sincerity of
purpose in the work in which he was
engaged. and he was known as a dill
gent, thoughtful and devoted student.
That his labors have borne fruit is evil
dence by the excellence of his address,
part Of which we feel called upon to
print. 1t is entitled. Americas Pro-
clamation of Liberty
"And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year
and proclaim liberty throughout the
land unto all the inhabitants thereof"
etc.-Leviticus 25, 10th verse;
The astrologer. the necromancer and
the sooth-sayer have passed away. the
astronomer and scientist and geologist
have taken their places and they hold
US willing captives while they give us
in fascinating details the method of
creative genius in the formation Of the
world. But not more surely did
God speak the world out of chaos, than
that he will personally superintend the
establishment of moral and spiritual
kingdom here on the earth that he may
here carry out his sublime purposes con-
cerning the human race. The on-going
of the nations is the constant manifesto
ton of the providence of God. His
hand is plainly seen in every epoch of
the worlds history. He rocked the
cradle of Samuel no more than he dir
ected the steps of Columbus. He who
for thirteen years endured poverty, igno-
miny and abuse before friends arose to
help him to transform his dreams into
realities, was as surely called of God to
fulfill mission as was Abraham and
Moses. In the mount of inspiration
God showed to Columbus the unparel-
led pattern of the great land of liberty.
"As we stand today upon the summit
of the centuries and look down the yis-
ia of time, we see our old mission only
with increased responsibilities, to pro
claim liberty throughout all the land.
1t is for us to read a new meaning into
the lines.
Westward the star of empire takes Its way
The first four acts already past,
The fifth shall close the drama of the day
Times nob!est offspring is its last"
Our forefathers bravely followed the
guiding star to the summit of the Ale
ghany mountains, and fixed the western
boundary of the new republic.
But they could not circumscribe nor
stay the onward march of the guiding
star. From their highest point it's light

ditions say
The south Atlantic and the central
and easter portions Of the gulf states.
including portions OF the central Mis-
sissippi and lower Ohio valleys. have
suffered much from heavy rains. while
the severe drought over the northern
portion OF the spring wheat region
continues unbroken, only light showers
having fallen owe limited areas.
Corn has made favorable progress in
the great corn states OF the central
valleys and is in a good state of Gull
tivation, except in portions of the cen

many fields are weedy. In the outh-
ern states, east of the Mississippi

DEATH STOOD BESIDE THE ALTAR

ried June 12th, Died Yesterday-<.As
Soon as I Get Well I'm Going TO Put

charlotte News.)

ma -1NN- -E~Sc
Mrs. Rosa Baumgarten Drucker. wife
of Mr.. Aaron Drucker, died this morn
ing at 2:30 at St Peters hospital.
Never has a sadder death been re-
corded in this city. Twelve days ago
a wedding! today, a grave.
June 18th was Miss Baumgar:en's
wedding day. The evening before, she
was taken alarmingly i'll and il was
thought would die before the dawn OF
her wedding day. As sadly recorded
in the marriage notice, she was too III
TO leave her bed and the ceremony Was
performed at the bedside. Who of the
sad company present will ever forget
the scene? The pale face on the pill
low; the white hand that rested in the
lovers to receive the wedding ring; the
sad-faced groom and parents.
Everything was in readiness for an
elaborate wedding and entertainment.
The bride insisted that the guests
should enjoy the supper n evening
the same as If she We're well n with
them. They tried TO do so, but the
gaiety was forced. Borne in upon
every soul present, was the feeling that
the shadow of a tragedy had crossed
the threshold. Unseen by mortal eye
was the "Unwelcome Guest'-death-
VINO SlOOO Dy the DcuSIuc, separating
the lovers who had each other
for 10 years. AS the young couple
said the words: Until Death Do Us
Part" an unconscious Shudder passed
through the company of witnesses to
the bridal scene.
After the ceremony, and the bride
was received congratulations and
hearty good wishes for her recovery,
she said to several: LAS soon as l get
we'll, 1 am going to put on my we'd
ding dress, and every one Of you must
come down and spend the evening with
me. 1t is so pretty, and l made the
lace for it all myself" The elegant
gown was then lying on the bed in the
adjoining room. Alas! ii lies there
still-never to be worn; never TO be
touched!
Mrs. Drucker's illness continued Sc
rious, and the doctors after several
consultations, aid that an operation
was the only chance of saving her life.
She was very much opposed to il, say
ing that she knew she was going to die
anyway She made every arrangement
in regard to her death, telling her hus-
band and parents what disposition
to make of her bridal presents and
other effects. Her wedding ring, she
said, was not to be buried with her;
it was to be taken off her finger by
her husband, who was always to wear
it.
She was taken to the hospital Thurs
day night, and operated on about l:3O
that night. Her husband and relatives
have been at her bedside constantly.
All hope of saving her life was given
up Sunday evening when blood pols-
oning set in. The physicians prepared
the grief stricken husband, parents
and sister for the worst, that night.
Yesterday the stupor preceding death
set in, and at 2:30 this morning the
spirit of this noble young
bride of twelve days-passed into the
great beyond.
