BOB TAYLOR
Turned Down in Louisville Because
Of Marriage Record.

The Louisville Times says: Be-
cause they disapprove of his matri-
monial record the members of the
McFerran Memorial Baptist church
declined to negotiate with former
Gov Bob Taylor, who, through his
agents, made proposition to lee
ture in Louisville. The proposition
was received by the Rev. DR.. vii
liam Wistar Hamilton, pastor Of
the church. The lecturer offered
to appear for a guarantee of $3.50
or for 10 per cent. of receipts. DR..
Hamilton turned the matter over
to the Young Ladies Missionary
Society Sunday morning, and the
society held a meeting at the con-
clusion of the morning services.
The meeting was brief, resulting in
a prompt refusual to contract for a
lecture. I'VE need the money and
this would be an easy way to get it,
but we don't approve Of Gov. Tay
lor's marriage record and we will
not accept his offer" was the
unanimous expression Of the young
ladies.
Gov. Taylor was divorced a short
time ago and after couple Of
weeks Of single blessedness" took
to himself another wife.
The developments were too rapid,
in the opinion Of many orthodox
church people.

Mrs. Elizabeth King, wife of II.
II. King, died at their home at
Shady Grove, Oct. 80, 1904, aged
sixty-fve years and six days. Sis
ter King professed the Christian
faith in her twenty-fifth year, and
thirteen years later she united with
the Baptist church at Shady Grove,
in which sacred relation she re-
manned a faithful and appreciated
standard bearer with her brethren
and sisters to the end of her earthly
days.
She had been in delicate state
OF health for about two years and
being further reduced by an attack
OF pneumonia, and after all that
her physician and loving friends
could do for her comfort and recov-
cry, and after the acute stage Of
pneumonia had been pas,el, she
died Of heart failure.
Sister King leaves husband. one
sister, one son and two daughters
to mourn their loss, and though
they are griei-stricken and heart
broken their sorrows are very much
softened by the cheering hope that
they shall meet wife, sister, mother

dan Of death, where there are no
deaths, graves, nor tolling bells.
To her dear weeping ones We
would say that the vacated tomb II
Jesus is a standing consoling pledge
to them all that the dismal tomb
shall not prove an eternal prison to
hold forever the precious form de.
posted there, for Jesus burst the
