ROXBUR1,
MRS HARRIET A. sOUIREs,

Mrs Harriet A. Squires, who departed
this life Thursday morning, February
rs, was born at Monroe, October 4, 1929.
Her maiden name was Clark. She
lived in Monroe until she was about Is
years of age, when she came to Rox-
bury, soon after which she became the
wife Of Levi Squires. Her husband
was long respected resident of our
town and died about four years ago.
Both united with the Methodist
church about 40 years ago, during the
pastorate of the Rev S. II. Bray. Mrs
Squires was always loyal to the church
OF her choice and was a regular attend
ant until few years since, when she
became afflicted with deafness to the
extent that she could no longer hear
the service. She was of quiet nature
but possessing that character which
caused her to be greatly beloved and
respected by all who very closely knew
her. Her long residence in town made
for her many friends who mourn her
loss. Her death is the fourth one who
has passed away from among the men,
bers of the Methodist church during
the present Conference year. She
leaves two daughters, Mrs Charles
Thomas and Mrs G. W. Ford. Also
three grandchildren, Mildred Thomas
Bennett Thomas and Albert Barnes,
who is the son of a daughter now de-
ceased, who was the wife Of George F.
Barnes. John Clark of Roxbury is a
nephew of the deceased and there are
also among the surviving relatives two
great-grandchildren. The funeral
service was held at the home of her
daughter, Mrs Charles Thomas, Sun
day at p. M, and was conducted by
the pastor Of the deceased, Rev G. E..
Bromley. The service was of simple
character, including the singing of
two hymns, Crock of. Ages" and
"Jesus Lover of My SOUL" by a quar-
tet. This, with select portions of
Scripture, a prayer and few remarks
by the pastor, composed the service.
The interment was at Roxbury Center,
and owing to the extremely wet
weather, the committal service was
abbreviated. The funeral was at
tended>by large number of relatives
and friends.
Grip is quite prevalent in town.
The latest victims are Mr. and Mrs
Frank Pierce, Allen Joyce and the
children Of Frank Dickinson.

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.
Mr. and Mrs Perry Anderson, at their
pleasant home, received q very merry
party Of 40 children on the goth Of
February, the occasion of the first
birthday of Miss Sadie, the youngest
daughter, who is eight years old;
1900 was mot Leap year. She has
had delightful home and surround
ings, yet she could not celebrate a
birthday until now. Sadie received a
large number of handsome as well as
costly presents: Several beautiful
rings, with opals and pearls, number
OF strings of handsome beads, a silver
thimble, money, silk handkerchiefs,
photographs, several cups and saucers,
silver pen holder, napkin ring, mount
ed blackboard, lockets, bracelets, kid
gloves, vases, a very nice set of furs,
with numbers of other things. The
several tables were loaded with good
things to eat, sandwiches, meat balls,
potato chips, six kinds of cake, oranges,
dates, and cocoa. The lighted wax
candles were on the large loaf in the
center Of the table and caused much
fun as the children expressed their
wishes and then tried to blow out
candle for it to come true. The names

would be worthless If the Apostolic Of
ice were to fail! And the worst of all
this division and subdivision of the
Body of Christ, as Bishop Whipple
pointed out, "is not necessary to saliva
tion."
The rector concluded by saying that
he had been asked two or three times
by denominationalists since he had
been here the question, "Did not
Henry VIII found your church," And
his answer was, mo! a Thousand times
MOI" as he had plainly shown in a
previous lecture on this very subject.
No, Christ did not found His Church
on Henry VIII, nor did He found 1t
on George Fox, nor Robert Brown,
nor any, comparatively speaking, mod
ern individual, but that the one holy,
catholic and Apostolic church which
He did found, was founded On the
apostles :and prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being the Chief Cornerstone. :"
And that, whenlSt Peter made what
Is known as 1.-THE Great Confession" of
the divinity Of Christ, the Son of God
said: ION this Rock l will build NV
Church, and the gates of He'll shall
not prevail against it," s'And that
Rock was Christ" The question, then,
Dr. us to decide is, "Can claim to be,
in:all respects, upon the Foundation
laid down in the description of the
5000 converts on the day of Pentecost?
"And they continued steadfastly in
the Apostles doctrine and fellowship:
and in the breaking of bread, and in
(the) prayers. "Christ loved the
Church and gave Himself for it," and
1.-THE Chnrch is subject unto Christ"
The evening services are closed with
the prayer 'for the unity of Gods
people," where we ask Him to "Give
us grace seriously to lay to heart the
great dangers we are in by our unhap-
py divisions" etc., and the singing of
Hymn 491, "The Church's one founda-
tion is Jesus Christ her Lord"

Death Came to George Frisbie
HOar Today.
His Condition Had Been Considered
Hopeless For Several Weeks
Past.
SOMETHING OF HIS CAREER

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 3o-George
Frisbic Hoar, senior senator from Mas
sachusetts, died at his home in this city
at I:35 this morning.
The end followed a period of uncon-
sciousness that had continued since early
Tuesday.
Physicians despaired of the senator's
| life six weeks ago, but his vitality was
such as to cherish faith in his ultimate
recovery.
On Sunday last, however, all hope was
abandoned after the unsuccessful at
tempt TO administer medicine and nour-
ishment Brief lucid intervals were fol-
lowed by longer durations of uncon-
sciousness until Tuesday morning when
the venerable statesman sank into "a
state of coma from which all efforts to
rouse him proved futile.
Senator Hoar had been in i'll health
since last winter when he was troubled
with lumbago. The death of his wife
in Washington proved such blow that
he never recovered from its effects.
He came to his home here soon after
the adjournment of congress, apparently
recovered from the attack Of lumbago.
The senator's last public appearance
was when he made an informal after
noon address at the English high school.
Up to August IL he remained in his
home and much of the time stayed in
bed. si-
Senator Hoar was born at Concord,
Massachusetts,, Aug. 20, 1926, and was
"A years old. lie had been a member of
the United States senate for ~ years.
He studied law and entered upon his
profession. at Worcester, Mass, and his
earliest appearance in politics was as
chaisman of the Free Soil party commit
tee in ls49. From this period he was
conspicuous member of the republican
party. He sat in the Massachusetts leg
stature in house and senate successive
ly. from 1852 to 1869, when he was elect
ed to congress. After serving as repre-
sentative until 1877 he became a member
of the national senate, where he remain
ed until his death.
He often exhibited much independ-
ance of party in his political action, and
in his latest years was especially prom'-
nent in his opposition to national ex-
pansion. He was one of the readiest OF
speakers in debate while his more form
al speeches and orations were polished
and scholarly in style, and forceful and
eloquent in substance and delivery. His
eulogy of President Mckinley was the
most notable of his later orations.
The funeral services over the remains
of Senator Hoar will be held in the
Church of Unity next Monday afternoon.
Rev. DIR. Edward Everett Hale will OIL
ciate.
