retaining his love for the Society Of
Friends he united with the First
Presbyterian church. For years he
conducted a Mission Sunday school,
begun in a freight car, many Of
whose pupils are now prominent
men in Chicago.
He became interested in Berea
through DIR. Pearsons, and this col
lege was perhaps his chief interest
during his later years. He never
missed a meeting of the Trustees,
and twice during the last year be
made special journey to attend to
matters connected with the water
supply and sewer. Probably the
last letter he wrote was in relation to
his plan for rebuilding and enlarging
the porch and gallery OF Ladies

Mr.. Ballard was a man Of the
Lincoln type, sound in judgment,
with a genius for pithy sayings,
and distinguished above all thing
for his tender heart. The public
officies which he held, and the pro-
perty which he acquired, did not
prevent him from continuing to live
the simple life. He benefited thou

by his example of straightforward
goodness, and cherish his memory

FROM TnE WIDE WORLD.

The bill for the separation of the
church and state passed the French
Chamber of Deputies on July 2 by
the decisive vote Of 34l TO 233. This
puts the churches in France Of all
denominations in the same position
which they occupy in America, ex-
cept that nearly all the church build
ings in France belong 10 the govern
ment and must be rented by the
churches.
Russia seems 10 be on the verge
Of a revolution. Her only reliance
is now ON the army and that too is
said 10 be doubtful. The condition
in Russia torcibly reminds the stu
