Memory of Mrs. Odom.

The following words pronounced
by Mrs. Ethel Somers Gilchrist
over the grave of Mrs. Ella Odom,
are tenderly inscribed to her
memory:
Friends: l have been requested
to speak a few words concerning
the sister who lies here in death, in
behalf OF those who were her neigh
bors and close, warm friends. am
honered in their choosing me to ex-
press their love for her whom they
knew SO well through the lapse of
many years, to express their appre-
citation of her pure and upright life,
her submissiveness, her gentleness,
her loving kindness, her faithfulness
in friendship and loyalty to her
Savior, who said yesterday to the
sweet, weary soul. 1T is enough,
my child; come home. And to-day,
dear friends, She walks in the green
pastures and besides the still waters
her soul dttuned to eternal melodies
in the realm, that lie told his dis
ciples before he left them lie was
going TO prepare for them who loved
Him She loved Him. That was
the secret of her gentleness, her
patience, her loving kindness.
Size loved her religion, And oh!
son and daughter Of this devoted
one, whose life was one of self
sacrifice, ,he pearly gates must
have swung wide for her entrance
into that country where no sorrow,
no tears or heartache can ever come.
She loved home. No greater
eulogy could be pronounced on her
than these simple words. Why di !
she leave home? OH friend, the
great central truth had been re-
vealed to her that He loved her.
For soul to know of eternal verify
that God loves it, that Christ died
to save it, is for that soul to set its
face forevermore toward the morn
ing. No setting sun for that soul!
it is always morning tide here amld
the acknowledgements of God-for-
getting world. For the soul OF
has risen with heal
ing in his wings upon that soul for
ever more.
And so it was with the one who
lies with stllled heart and fol led
hands before us today. Then amidst
our sorrows we can rejoice that she,
is in the presence of Him who
walked this earth forever more,
wea y, homesick for the joys Of his
fathers house. so straitened there in
Palestine in the accomplishment of
the work for which he came. No
thorns crown that brow now. 1t is
a glory-circled brow. The last
words on her lips were to her chill
dren and loved ones, saying "Be
good"
Be wise and heed her parting
words, dear friends The memory
of them is a precious heritage from
the mother and sister who has been
gathered into rest.

War the Sole Solution.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 24.-Notwith'
standing reports to the contrary, perfect
tranquility, almost approaching apathy,
prevails throughout Bulgaria. There is
not the slightest outward evidence that
the country is on the verge OF war Even
in military circles there is no excitement
though unceasing preparation is going on.
The feeling is steadily growing that war
is the sole solution to the Macedonian
problem, the only kuestion being whether
it will come this autumn or be postponed
until spring
The preparations for the mobilization of
the Bulgarian army have been carried out
with singular completeness as to detail,
and a declaration of war will find the Bull
garians sufficiently prepared.

coming will prove blessing to Dunn, and
Dunn will prove to be a great blessing
to the railroad, as it is the principal town
upon its line as well as its eastern
terminus.
Early this morning people began to pour
into town from every direction, and they
came until their numbers reached some
