its fallen condition, and to restore to
mankind 'powers to become the sons
of Cod" Jesus Christ came, through i'm
maclha,e conception. by "the over
si,adowing of the Holy Spirit spirit
force, and so, to declare the purposes OF
God to be in harmony with infinite wis
dom and perfect love. And, thus, the
human family of intelligent beings OF
earth might again take its place in the
great economy. the infinitude ot families
of rational beings that inhabit the finite
minds, uncounted worlds of limitless
space.
The Apostle John, CHAPTER 1:l2. in
speaking of Christ, says: LAS many as
receive Him. to them gave He power TO
become the sons of God, even to them
that believe ON His name" And the
Apostle Paul says: "As many as are led
by the spirit of God, they are the sons of
God. Heirs of God and joint
heirs with Christ. Romans S:14-l1.
Now. from prophecy, it seems clearly
to appear THAT, through the uplifting in
huence eoi the gospel during the long
millennial age of 100000 years, man
kind will gain their primitive state -
see Revelations, chapter 20.
Science is already doing much to pro-
mote belief IN this line.

In MemOriam.

We were unable last week, to publish
an account of the lite of Daniel S. Hitch
cock, who was found dead IN his bed on
the morning of September Oath at his
home, near Central City. His was a
painless. peaceful death. He went to
bed on the night of the Odd. and awoke
on the other shore of the IN vstic River
The day before his death, he seemed as
well as evcr-indecd, appeared to be en-
loving unusually good health He was
seventy-six years of age at the time OF
his death. He was born in Carlisle,
Schorrie county, N. Y August &c, 1928.
When but child, he moved with his
parents to Oneida county. where he
lived until he was twenty years of age.
He then moved to Illinois. A few years
later, he returned to the home of his
parents, remaining there only short
lime. He next went to the California
gold fields in search of a fortune, but
did not stay long. When the Civil war
broke out, he enlisted in company NJ,
Twenty.third regiment, New York vol
unteers, where he served two wears as
private. He was promoted to the office
of first lieutenant in a company A,
Forty.fifth regiment, colored troops
At the close of the war, he came to Kan
sas with his mother and sister, and
holnesteaded the farm on which he lived
until death. March %, 1868, he mar
ried Elizabeth Macklin. To them were
born six children, five of whom are mar
RED. All survive him, together with his
wife and sister, Mrs. Z. Sybertz. In
early manhood, he Joined the Presby-
terrain church, of which he remained a
member until his marriage, when he
went, with his wife, into the Methodist
church, of which he remained d"vout
and consistent member until his death.
MIR. Hitchcock was an honorable, up.
right citizen, and was held in high es-
teen by all who knew him. His death
is a sad blow to the community and an
irreparable loss to his family. We ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy to the
sorrowing ones.
