An illustration that you may call a

will, and that then il will do what it

contained this sentence: And as a
part thereof to provide for and agree
with the government of the United
States upon relations to exist between
that government and the government

delegates ignored this country as
completely as if it were only burned

Death Of John r. Kimball.

John r. Kimball, whose illness was
noted in last weeks issue of The
Phoenix, passed away in the early
hours of Friday, Feb. Sth The clos
ing of a life so marked as his demands
more than a passing notice.
The son of John IL. and Abigall
II. Kimball, he was born in West
Townshend Aug. /, 1915. The father
was a wheelwright and the son learn
ed the trade and followed it through
life, succeeding to the business at his
fathers death Mr. Kimball
John as he was familiarly called ~
his many friends, was a fine type OF
manhood. He had strong physique,
a presence that would attract atten-
ton anywhere. His mind was alert,
making him one of the pleasantest
of companions, and his heart was 50
warm and tender that he was con
stantly cheering the pathway OF
others.
Some of his characteristics were in
dustry, energy, frugality, honesty,
and a strong love of purity and JUS
tice. But the most marked quality
was his deep piety. In early life he
heard the call of the master and en-
listed as a soldier of the cross and
right valiantly has he waged the war
fare. The inspiration for this strong
soul life he drew first and chiefly from
Gods word and prayer. He fed upon
the word, and lived in an atmosphere
of communion. But he added to
these means of grace the communion
of saints and the fellowship of be
levers. He loved the sanctuary and
the prayer circle.
Rarely was he absent from either,
and even the last Sunday of his life
saw him in his accustomed place,
though it took all his strength to
reach it. Though having a modest
estimate of his gifts he gladly bore
testimony for his Lord, both in public
and private. His earnest exhorta-
tiOns and fervent prayers will linger
long in the memory of those who have
listened to them.
He had expressed a desire that he
might have the power of speech to
the end so as to bear testimony to the
power of Christs salvation, and his
desire was granted; for his last breath
went out in the language of the king
dom.
He had been very deeply impress
ed by the account of Mr.. Moody's
death-bed experiences and utterances,
and to those who watched with him
his seemed almost a parallel to those
of the great evangelist. 1t may be
said of him as of one of old He walk
ed with God and he was not for God
took him.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at the church in the presence Of
goodly company of sorrowing
friends which would have been larger
but for the prevailing illness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Blood, who had
been with him in his sickness. rem.
dered appropriate songs and his pas
tor and Rev, A. J. Cameron, former
pastor, paid loving and appreciative
tributes to his memory
His body was laid to rest in the
village cemetery just back of his
home and overlooking the beautiful
West river valley. A brother,
Charles o., of Antrim, n. H., and two
sisters, Mrs. Florence A. Mann of
West Brattleboro and Mrs. Addie r.
Andrews of Arlington, remain to
mourn his departure and to them the
sympathy of many friends who sor.
row with them goes out.

was loyal member of the Congrega-
tional church in West Townshend
from her girlhood, and a constant at
tendant in Ludlow whenever her
health and years would permit She
died in the comfort of the Christian
faith She was happy in having the
benefit of a good education for her
times, was great reader and was in
terested in all political and moral

health throughout an unusually long
life, and all her faculties of body and
