MAN OR BEAsT.-BY o. o. WRIGHT.
 As the moral and spiritual part of our nature is the highest and noblest element of our complex being, in the exercise of which we are nearest to the Divine being and life, and most like unto God; so the spiritual life inI us should dominate our minds, hearts and wills in all that we do.
 The life of the flesh is temporary and perishing; the life of the spirit is eternal, and like unto that of God. And as St Paul says: "The mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the spirit is life and peace." Therefore we should live in the spirit unto God, and not in the flesh to the world, the end of which is corruption and death. The greatest possible contrast is that between the life of the flesh and the life of the spirit. To be man is to be like God; to be beast is to live the animal life of appetites, desires and natural affections without regard to the moral-spiritual nature. And when a man becomes brute-beast he is not worthy to be compared with the lower animals which in their normal state are governed by God-given instincts. and are true to themselves and their Maker.
 The man of the world thinks to drown his cares and sorrows. in drink, and to tighten the burdens of life by means of intoxication and the pleas ures of the senses. It is the supreme folly of human conduct. The purest pleasure of the lower nature comes only as it is subject to the moral and the spiritual faculties; and the highest happiness of which we are capable springs from the spirit in it's right re- lations to the Father of the spirits of all flesh. To be filled with the spirit of God IS the supreme condition of our being, that we may be pure, wise, good and happy. To live to the flesh, grati- flying the appetites, desires and natur- al affections, without regard to the moral and spiritual part of our nature is to ignore all that is noblest and best for the sake of that which is least and most inferior. @
 It is like living in the kitchen or basement of the house while all the rest of the mansion of life is closed, darkened and deserted. It is like feeding on the chaff, shucks and refuse of the fruits of the earth while the abundance of the good things which the Lord has provided for our nourish- ment and pleasure remain untouched and unnoticed. It is as though we were groveling on the earth, digging in the ground to find our chiefest treasure, when, behold it is the gift of God, coming down to us from above, and must be found where it is laid up for us, in the kingdom of heaven.
 Be filled with the spirit; live in the spirit; walk in the spirit; exercise the spiritual nature; make it the chief business of life in all you do to live to God in the culture of the moral spiritual faculties, and be a man. It is our duty, and our privilege. We may, if we will, rejoice ever in the Lord. In sense it is within our own power. God give us His grace, and if we receive it our ihighest wants are met. So let us be men, and not beasts

chairman of the committee. on public health and safety and of the commit tee on Putnam Memorial camp. Sen- ator Woodruff was member of the state sewage commission. Dr Wood run married October IT, 1861, Miss Hannah E. Marsh of Westfleld, N. J., who died February IT, 1889. On Ap- Til 15, 1891, he married for his second wife, Miss Lydia J. Allen of Sherman. He leaves a daughter, Mrs Georgia Bull of Elizabethtown, N. Y. This briefly tells the story of the life and death of one who was among the most prominent men of Fairfield county, and yet it conveys only a hint of all Dr Woodruff did during long and
 very active life. Back in the seventies be was school visitor for the town of Sherman and thus made the acquaint- ance of all the boys and girls in the
 told fiatirOn" town which he loved so we'll. He was quick and accurate
 reader of human nature and was in- terested in all that pertained to pub lie affairs, town, county, state and na- tional. Up to about 28 years ago, Dr Woodruff was a democrat, but when he found that republican principles were more nearly in accord with his views, he became republican and con- tinued to be one, steadfast, active and influential, until the hour of his death.
 He had attended every republican state convention, either as spectator or delegate for 25 years, and had per sonal acquaintance with most of the leading men of the state, and all who knew him held him in highest esteem. He was man of positive opinions, a leader of men because of natural abili- ty and constant study of all that con- cerned the welfare of his fellowmen.
 For years he had been judge of pro bate and thus came into intimate per- sonal relations with very large num- Der of his townsmen. Very few of those who were boys when he was a boy are left now. They preceded him to the great unknown and faithfully he aided those whom they left behind. He was honest and farsighted. His judgement was good and in the school of experience he had learned so much that was of general benefit that his death is a serious loss to the state as we'll as to the town in which he resid- ed. Appointed member of the state sewage commission, he went abroad to study conditions in the cities and country towns of Europe, and the re- suit of his investigations gave the state much benefit, the full extent of which is not yet fully realized. Dr Woodruff was good citizen, a kind
 friend, public spirited, conscientious man and all who know him mourn his loss. One more of the told stock" has gone. There are few left, but their good works will live longer than the marble shaft which loving friends erect over their remains.

 Editor Charles Whittlesey Pickett, son of the late Mason Pickett, gives this fine tribute to Dr Woodruff in Fridays issue of The Leader:
 Dr John N. Woodruff of the town of Sherman, Fairfield county, while riding in neighbours carriage to attend sick call, Mon- day night, was suddenly strick- en :with heart failure and died. He was 69 years old. Dr Woodruff was born in the town of Sherman, Au- gust 25, 1885, the son of George and Rebecca (Worden) Woodruff. He re- ceived high school education before he took up the study of medicine. His medical and surgical education was received at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and at Bellevue, New York. In the practice of his profession he was very successful. He always took deep and active interest in pro- jects for the general welfare of the public. He filled the office of town clerk, judge of probate, and he was secretary of the board of education. He represented the old Fifteenth dis trict in the senate at the 1897 session of the general assembly. He was the
