AMoNG THE AGED ONES.

All OF MS who i've long will grow
old. The snow OF age falls lightly. but
no sun will melt It. We imagine that
when people grow old and feeble II is
delight for their friends to visit
them. Believing this to be true. we
recently laid aside everything and Wis.
tied some Of our old friends, to wit;
Rev. w. H. Bailey, Of Fair River.
Vernon Smith and Grandma Allen. of
the Union Hall community. The AZ.
fiicting hand of God lies heavily upon
these aged ones who are now In a
oedridden condition, with no hope of
recovery.
Father Bailey is SO years old, and
has always enjoyed perfect health un.
til the weight Of years began to press
heavily upon him, when cancer of the
mouth set In for which there is no
cure, and his useful career will soon
end and he will 60 to Heaven. Bro.
Bailey is the last one of the old land
marks who officiated in the organiza-
ton OF the Fair River Association and
has always stood nobly to his part.
Where duty called or danger, he was
never wanting there. May the Lord
strengthen the hands of his devoted
wife as she so faithfully ministers at
his bedside.
Bro. Vernon Smith is not so old as
Bro. Bailey, but has been afflicted all
OF his life. He is now in totally help
less condition. We baptized Bro.
Smith into Union Hall church twenty
years ago, and had the pleasure of be-
ing his pastor for twelve years, and
during our twenty-six years as a pas
tor, we can say of a truth that We new
er found truer friend, and one who
stood closer to his pastor than Vernon
Smith. II soldiered with Vernon
Smith in the Virginia army and l
never did believe that he knew how to
do mean thing" is what one of his
old comrades in arms said TO us re-
Gently. Bro. Smith is fortunate in
having faithful, stalwart sons who
constantly minister to his wants in his
helpless condition, and handle him as
tenderly as they would baby. May
this father have the joy of meeting
them all in Heaven "Some sweet day."
Grandma Allen is another one who
Is rapidly yielding to the pressure of
81 years. She seems as one who feels
the brush Of angels wings as she lies
upon her bed of affection. Sister AL
len was the first person who joined
the church under our ministry at I'm
ion Hall, and we will never forget how
happy she seemed the day she was
baptized. We will keenly feel the loss
Of a friend when she is gone to Heaven.
Her widowed daughter, Mrs. Carter, is
so faithful in ministering to her every
want in her time of affection. How
good the Lord is in providing for our
wants when, in old age, He lays US
down to take us to Heaven. 1t is real
helpful to mingle with those who have
fought their battles and are now in the
hearing Of the triumphant songs of
those who have already crossed the
dark river.
Zone army of the living God,
To His command we bow,
Part Of the hosts have crossed the flood
And part are crossing now.
"Oh, Saviour be our constant guide;
When e'er the signals given.
Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide
And land us safe In heaven"

Governor Allen known as the boy
giant and probably the largest boy OF
his age in the country, died at Ander-
son. Ind, the other day. He was eight
years and one month old, stood feet
10 inches high and weighed 25l pounds
a month ago. The past year he has
been gaining in weight at the rate OF
ten pounds month. The cause OF his
death was fatty degeneration of the
heart.

the large taxes after the close OF the
revolutionary war. Shays organized a
force of 1000 men, marched on and
captured the town OF Worcester, and
finally demanded the surrender Of the
United States arsenal at Springfield.
The United States officer in command
fired a number of cannon over the
heads Of Shay's army. which broke
and ran. Shays and a number Of lead
ers were arrested and tried on charges
of high treason. Several of them were
convicted and sentenced to death, but
these sentences were never executed.
Finally a free pardon was granted to
all who had taken part in the rebel

At the present time, as Emilio Asul-
naldo is likely to discover. there is
nothing particularly dangerous about
, hundred years ago IL was different.
Then a man or woman who revolted
against established authority was fair
ly certain to have his or her head cut
of, and was likely to have other un-
pleasant things happen. Now, so long

dence on some salubrlous and beauti-
ful island. paid liberal allowance by
the government against which he has
rebelled. and. asked to live a quiet and
healthful life, with nothing to worry
about.
Y In ell the law books the old defini-
tion Of a rebel and the punishment for
rebellion remain, but, though the high
treason be proved the death penalty
is rarely enforced
good example OF the way In which
rebels were treated only a century ago
Is found In the story of Toussaint L.
Overture, the famous negro slave. SOL
dier, and statesman, who founded the
black republic Of Santo Domingo. In
l7S3, when the English invaded the is
land. Toussaint, who was already n
trusted military leader among the
blacks. declared in favor OF France and
kook the oath Of allegiance to the
French republic He took the field
against the English and drove both
them and the Spaniards off the island.
Then he was made commander-in-chief
OF the military forces Of the island. In
1901 Toussaint assumed control of the
government A constitution was
drawn up making him president for
life. When this constitution was sent
to Napoleon he broke out into fury
and sent an army of 10000 men. under
General Leclerc, with feet Of more
than sixty war vessels, to subdue the
black usurper. But Toussant was an
able soldier. and the climate fought

France and confined in a cold and

at the end Of ten months imprison-

Another more modern rebel is Arabi
