Mr.. Editor, and dear family, we ex'
tend to you our heartfelt sympathy If
the bereavment of your dear son, Her
man. This is a heavy yoke put upon
YOU. The summons have come at the time
when the JOY of your heart could be least
spared. When most priced, most needed,
most loved, this dear boy, which has been
plucked from your household, was full
of future promise, and only those who
have the cross to bear can realize how
sad it is, but we must remember that
the darkest of all clouds has the bright
est bow in them. These gloomy portals
are not to hold thy loved and just bear
er. The land of forgetfulness, where
thy bereaved treasures lie is not a
winter of unbroken darkness and DESC
lation. A glorious springtime of revi-
val is promised, when the mortal shall
put on Immortality and the corruptlble
shall be clothed with interruption. The
God who brought you into the furnace
will lead you through; he has never
| failed in the case of any of his poor af-
hicted ones to realize his own precious
promise. LAS thy day is, so shall thy
strength be- 1t is only through the
grace of God that we can find comfort
! in these sad hours of Affections. We
| feel proud to say that Herman was a
good boy. We always found him quiet
and peaceable, faithful to duty, and
was beloved very much by all who knew
him.

term. She only missed one vote out OF

It has been blessed privilege that
l have enjoyed from the bottom OF my
heart ever since boy to go down and
worship at my old mother church, st.
Pauls. It was here about thirty three
years ago when I made my sacred
vows to my God, and my name was in
listed upon the church book. Last Sun
day, in company with my friend, Mr.
IL. I. Feagle, we went down and again
enjoyed this privilege. When l got
there and found the same dear Ole
soul standing in the same dear old pull
pit pointing out the way of salvation
with the same dear old hand that first
took me by the hand and welcomed me
into the church. When I realized this
my soul was filled with tears. The text
was a well selected on. for the occa
sion. You will find it in 1st Peter AZ
Read the whole chapter. don't think
that l will ever meet with a people
whose hearts seemed to be more sym
pathetic than the congregation OF St.
| Pauls showed for their old pastor last
Sunday. The council held meeting
just before preaching, taking into con-
sideration the wilful, malicious ISLANDERS
that has so freely been circulating or
Rev. J. A. Sigh for the past month OF
two. Mr.. Jno. C. Aull stated that the
council had unanimously agreed to IN
Ivestigate those ISLANDERS now IN cir
culation, and to use their most strenu'
GUS efforts to exhonorate their pastor
from those wilful charges. We most
hearty commend the actions of the
council and trust that they may moi
leave a stone unturned until the found
ers of these slanders are made known
and brought to justice. When we thlnE
what lying tongues can do in trying tx

pleasures of a life so we'll spent, bu

hairs down to fill a grave of degrada

of such wilful intentions our indigna

is we'll known that these SANDER
started from among people who are no
friendly with Mr.. Sigh, and it is plan
to see that it is nothing more or les
than lying tongues trying to vindlcat
their vengeance. What shall we sa.
