Memorial Day.

Brookhaven did itself great honor
last Thursday by observing heartily
the day appointed by the President as
day of mourning and prayer, in
memory of our late President. Ev-
cry seat was filed at the Methodist
church where beautiful flowers lent
their fragrance and inspiration to the
occasion. Stores we're closed. Saw
mills were shut down. Bells we're
tolled from the time the bene-
diction was pronounced after service,
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the
hour appointed for the last sad rites
at Canton, Ohio.
The services at the church we're fit
tingly introduced by the singing Of
LEAD, Kindly Light" the favorite
hymn of the distinguished dead by
Miss Albert. This was followed by a
full chorus of my Country, 'Tis of
Thee prayer by Rev. M. L. Burton;
Scripture reading by Rev. B. +. Jones;
an address by Rev. r. H. Purser and
also by DR.. A. F. Watkins. Then fol-
lowed song by quartette composed
of Messrs. Dickey, Ragsdale, Green
and Lyell, after which the congrega-
ton sang Nearer, my God, to Thee"
and united with Rev. B. F. Jones in a
most impressive supplication to Him
who must have received as incense
from the altar of all hearts in devo-
ton, the service rendered Him on this
memorable day.

Miss Caroline FOrd's Recital,

Miss Ford made her first appearance
in Brookhaven as an elocutionist last
Thursday night, and we take pleasure
in stating that the evening resulted in
an ovation. She charmed our people,
and her audience seemed more deeply
gratified with the program rendered by
herself and her musical coadjutors than
on any previous similar occasion for
some time past. Miss Vivion's violin
went straight to the hearts of all
lovers of this most pleasing musical
instrument, while Miss Albert's
Haunted Stream" was effectively
given. Miss Ford's gifts and those of
Whitworth's accomplished musicians,
deserve the appreciation and praise
they have received from the most cul-
tured and exclusive circles to which
their talents have given them free ad-
mission. Brookhaven is never slow to
pay her tribute to recognized merit
and excellence.

The Church of His Choice.

President Roosevelt and his family
will worship in one of the most modest
structures in Washington. Last March
Mr.. Roosevelt stated that he would at
tend the Grace Reformed Church, of
which the Reverend John M. Schick is
pastor. The church is small frame
building capable of accommodating
500 or 600 people. When Mr.. Roose-
welt made this statement he also re-
GREETED that there was no Dutch Re-
formed Church in Washington. He
and his family are of this faith and
communion. The Grace Reformed
Church is calvanistic and more nearly
accords with the doctrines of the
Dutch church than any other in Wash
ington. The members of the congre-
CATION are not fashionable and are
mostly people of Dutch birth or ex-
traction. During his short stay in
Washington after the Inauguration
President Roosevelt was regular at
tendant at this church.

with an ad. in this issue of The LEADER.
If our readers and Mr.. Schwem will
pardon personal allusion, we will take
this opportunity to state that the
Advance Eagle Gin, as advertised else
where, deserves more than a passing
notice. Henry Schwem. who few
years ago. was a small boy struggling
for living by doing honest jobs at
carpentry and other things, has made
for himself fine business standing
among us, by climbing the ladder of
life round by round, with absolutely
nothing to rely upon but his own en-
ergy, strength and determination He
had rough start and misfortunes, in
which he shared, were the lot of his
fathers home, but he has come out
more than conqueror. His gin is said
to be model of its kind and to Hen
rvs credit and skill, be it said, was
erected by his own hands We con-
graduate him upon the success he has
won by sturdy strokes at opposing cir
cnmstances and wish for him prosper
ity and good luck from this time hence
forward.

Did it ever occur to you how impos

cannot anticipate what is going to
happen. We are almost as dependent
upon the surprises and unanticipated
things of life as we are upon our own
efforts perhaps more so; for we have

the unexpected that illustrates or OBJ
