REHOBOTH CHURCH

Our community again has been
thrown into sorrow. Death entered
the Waddy home on the 2Sth and
released from his awful suffering
Mr.. "Charley" Waddy. While our
hearts have been truly saddened, we
feel that grief should not be our part:
that instead we should rejoice to
know that our loved one is free
from pain, beyond the reach of bodily
suffering, safe in the arms of Jesus.
Death to him was no unwelcome
guest. For some time he had been
looking forward to the time when
God would call him home. We
deplore our loss knowing that one of
the truest and best of men has gone
from us forever, but behind is left
the memory of a consistent Christian
character, fit example for any one
TO follow. We extend to his nearest
and dearest here on earth our sincere
sympathy, trusting that God will
wipe away all tears from their eyes,

RiscOURAGEMENTS

Dlscouragements are the lot of all
men, more or less. Whatever be

1t is well that such is the case, for
the fiery ordeal through which we
have to pass Sits us, so to speak,
and proves the kind of mettle we
possess1 In other words discourage
ments develop our true selves, and
prove whether or not we are able to
paddle our canoe over life's turbu-
lent course. A mere automaton can
float with the tide, but it requires
brain and muscle and courage to
maze commendable Roadway against
the current.
The age is highly favorable to
young men of worth-men of "parts"
Tor at the. present time men win
laurels In life's race on their own
accomplishments and not upon the
merits of their ancestors. Then, too.

merous than they formerly were; bu-

panded, and mer of real merit.

IN the way, no obstacles to be sur

Napoleon's ambition recognized no
Alps, and thus the young man made of

commendable height ON life's ladder.
ofall the men who are beset by
discouragements none, perhaps, come
In for q greater share than the hon

Many river boats had narrow es-
capes from destruction. and naviga-

John a. Roeblinge Sons & Co. are
the contractors. The bridge extends
from the foot of Delaney street,
