OBITUARY..

Miss Ella L. Scott, sister of DR.. E.
d. Scott, died at Southern fines, N. c.,
October 9Th. For the past year she has
been advised by her physicians to visit
different sections of the oOuth in hopes
that she might regain her health. Her
life was that of a sincere Christian.
She was never too weary to give her
time and talent wherever it was need
ed. She was ever noble, generous and
kind, and will be greatly missed by her
many friends.
Far away from relatives and friends
she breathed her last. Funeral Thurs
day, October 9th.
o blissful lack of wisdom,
'Tis blessed not to know;
He holds me with His own right hand
And will not let me go,
And lulls my troubled soul to rest
In Him who loves me so.

Abraham Lincoln was greater than
Moses in another respect. While Moses
established a politico-religious system
exclusively for his own people, Abra-

a government of the people, by the

will not furnish the counterpart of
these two great emancipators. Human
liberty has so far progressed toward
universal and ultimate triumph as to
warrant the belief that the groans of
the bOndman will no more be heard
