The Life Work of an Esteemed Physician
Ended.

DR.. d. H. Montgomery, the sub
iect of this brief sketch, came OF
Scotch and Irish stock and was
born on a farm near Milton, Pa.
His father emigrated from Scotland
and died when the doctor was but
five years OF age. Through
mothers loving care and Christian
teaching, the moral and mental
powers which distinguished him,
were so blended with one another
that it was next to impossible to
examine them in separation.
Not one of all the multitudes
who stood and looked up to him
for direction, with an implicit trust,
can tell you to day whether the
wise judgments that he gave came
most from strong head or a sound
heart.
At the age of eighteen he began
reading medicine with his brother,
DIR. Daniel w. Montgomery, of
Orangeville, and was graduated
from Jefferson Medical College.
He began the practice ofmedicine
in Orangeville but moved to Miifiln'
Vile in 1886 since which time he
has enjoyed an extensive practice.
His work has been magnificent and
every stroke has been in the in
terest of right. He read the world
in its various phases and if a clear,
strong brain and magnetic pres
ence are evidences of the good he
has derived from following out his

Have Gone to Flori da.

Rev. and Mrs. J. d. Smith bade
good bye to their friends in Blooms
burg on Wednesday and departed
for De Land, Florida, where they
will remain for six months at least.
Rev Smiths health has been very
poor of late and his face shows the
strain he is under. At De Land
he hopes to regain his good health.
The departure of Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith has saddened many hearts
but they carry with them the best
wishes of all our people.

own notions of life's best plan, in
deed his is recipe worthy to be
followed out by all those who wish
to attain the same result.
Our greatest and best men are
never seen quite fairly while they
live. Our body is veil which
conceals within it all the mysteries
of life. None of us know any 9th
er perfectly. We see only through
glass darkly. In that blessed
life we shall no more wear wells
hiding us from each other. There
shall be no misjudging, no misin-
depreciation of acts. There shall
be no wells between friends leading
to alienation and separation. Their
every life is revealed and all is
beautiful. Friendships have moth
ing to hinder their perfect fellow
ship. Hearts kept apart here
through misunderstanding or in
compatibilities shall find the best
in each other and knit together i'll
love forever.
The funeral occurred from his late
residence Tuesday Nov. 25th at
p. IN. An eloquent discourse OH
the life of the deceased was de-
livered by Rev. Joseph Hunter of
the Presbyterian church, Berwick.
A male quartette sang beauti-
fully, LEAD Kindly Light" and
"Nearer my God to Thee. The
remains were laid to rest i'll casket
of solid mahogany and inferred in
Pine Grove cemetery, Berwick.
The following gentlemen were
selected as honorary and active
pail bearers: DR.. F. w. Redeker,

Outside the sun shines and the
birds sing on just the same but his
family knows that out of their
home has gone brightness that
will never more return. Death,
the husbandman, that reapeth al
ways, out of season as well as in
season, hath claimed him as his
victim and his quiet, tranquil death
assures them that his spirit rests in
peace.

PAUL SNYDER.

One ofthe very fundamental teach
ings of christianity is that God
doeth all things WE'LL" We must
believe that He does not willingly
afflict nor grieve His children, and
yet our faith is often sorely put to
the test.
Paul Snyder was the son of the
late William H. Snyder, formerly
County Superintendent, and Pro-
thonotary of this county for six
years. Mr. Snyder died some years
ago, leaving his widow and Paul to
survive him. Several children had
preceded the father to the grave,
and Paul was left as the only COM
fort and hope of his mother. AS he
grew he developed into noble,
manly boy. He attended the High
school where he had not been tardy
nor absent once in seven years, and
was President Of his class, and also
of the Franklin Literary Society.
He was taking the Normal course,
and would have graduated next
year. Paul was a member of the
Reformed church and sang bass III
the choir. He possessed a voice oi
unusual depth and sweetness, and
would have developed into basso
Of great excellence.
About four weeks ago he wa
taken down with typhoid fever, and
subsequently pneumonia and hem
mortgages Of the bowels set i'll, and
on Monday at one o'clock, the enc
came.
Expressions of deep regret at the
death of so promising young man
and OF profound sympathy for Mrs
Snyder for the loss of loving and
dntiful son, are heard on every
hand.
Paul was born October 20, 1885
and was therefore seventeen years
old last October. Just entering from
an upright youth into a noble anC
promising manhood he has been cu
down, and the places that knew hin
shall know him no more.
Funeral services were held thi
morning at the house, and the re
mains were taken to Orangeville TO
interment in the family lot.

School attended the services in ;

HELP FOR AGED OLBRGYMEN.

The ANNUITY Ennd Bulletin is a
four page pamphlet issued every three
months by the Trustees of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Conference of Central
Pennsylvania. DR.. Fryslnger has
charge of the publication and is its
editor. The object is to create an
interest in the welfare of aged and
worn out clergymen, SO as to create a
fund for their support in their de-
clining years.
The last number of the BNlIehn,
just issued, contains the following
from the Christian Ad00cate:
GA large proportion of the ministry
receive less than the miners were
getting when they struck"
"All through Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland
worthy men are living on sums which
would be rejected by journeymen
stone masons and carpenters, and in
many cases on less than is paid to
hod carriers"
alt will always be true that nine
tenthS of the best work of the ministry
as a whole will be done in churches
of medium size, and at least half of it
in rural districts. If the minister of
such church, recognizing his limita-
tons, goes into business, is known to
be trying to increase his means by
pinchlng, saving, and investing, it
interteres with his standing. But is
he not virtually driven to do so by the
Church if his income is not sufficient
to support him as the people would
have him live;-much less to admit
of his saving something for old age9
1.-The extra expenses which pastor
incurs are numerous and the demand
upon him remorseless. Few are able
to appeal TO the people for the bene-
VIOLENT causes of the Church without
themselves giving more than the peo-
pie are willing to contribute in pro-
portion to their income. In many of
the poorer churches all that is ever
given TO these causes comes from the
minister, and that frequently when
the sum promised for his support is
months in arrears. The minister
must spend considerable for books,
magazines, and papers or the people
will speak of him as "a back number.
He has constant applications to re-
lieve the poor. Every pe,son in the
town who is suffering or every strang-
er who comes to the town will sooner
or later directly or indirectly make
his wants known to the minister. In
such a situation human sympathy
leads the pastor beyond his means.
" Methodlsm has done we'll as {
whole for its worn-out ministers, bu
of late years the proportion between
contribution and necessity has lament
ably fluctuated. We urge upon oul
pastors the Importance of awakening
the people to this subject. Many o
them have foolish modesty' in urg
ing its claims, and some a selfish in
difference.
What is true of the Methods
Church is true also of nearly ever
other communion. The clergy ar
: poorly paid, and when old age or i'll
) health overtakes them, they are OBJ
liged TO depend upon the charity O
! their relatives or friends. This is al
! wrong, and the efforts of the Metho
!, dist church to establish fund for tn
, aid of worn-out clergy is a step in tn
t right direction.
