Piudall Wiley was born De-

spent at the home of his childhood
in the northern part of Audrain
county. He united with the
Southern Methodist church at II
years of age, while attending
school at Central College, Fayette,
Mo. He and Miss Fannie D. Bra

1901. Little Frank was given to
bless their home Sept. 2, 1898.
March l, 1906, at early dawn,
his spirit peacefully departed from
its earthly tabernacle, ITO be

His last year he endured much
suffering, the last month was one
of agOnizing pain. Tho kindred
and faithful friends did what they
could TO smooth the rugged road
to the narrow stream he must cross
alone. A short time before the
spirit took its final departure, he
called his father several times;
whether he saw into the eternal
world and recognized his father
there, after nearly twenty years of
separation, IS t. Us unknown.
Prudatl will be- missed He was
quite public spirited, aud took un-
usual interest in education, poll
tics and religion. His kindness of
heart was shown in the sacrifices
he made in waiting upon the sick

A SERMON.
SIS Thy Heart RightR"-Vaudalia
Leader Quotes Pastor Akers.

Rev. Akers stepped aside from
the conventional Sunday and
preached a good sermon on Good
Citizenship. 1t was like the Slo.
gan cry of a vast moral, Christian
army, fighting for the publication
of politics, and the placing Uf gov
ernment, national, state and local,
upon grand scheme of polity,
permeated with the spirit of the
sermon on the mount.
Mr.. Akers text was from End
Kings, 18th chapter, which
recounts the meeting of Jehu and
Jehonidab. Is thy heart right"
asks Jehu. 1t is" answers Je-
honidab. Then give me thy
hand" said Jehu, and taking Je-
honidab with him in his chariot
they proceeded to Samaria to
cleanse it of its wickedness. From
this dramatic Bible story Mr.. Ak
ers urged the need of getting ones
heart right, and then in Christian
cooperation, to attack the citadels
of wickedness by placing in off
men of incorrigible honor. ae b.
lieVed that the state and church
should work in unison for the es-
tablishment of a government based
on right principles, and these
principles upheld by men of uu-
questioned integrity. And such
men co uld be put in Office only by
the conscientious vote of a consci-
entious people. Rome fell be-
cause her government was honey
combed with political rottenuess.
The Christian element of the coun
try assemble in their churches, in
their Sunday schools, In PRAYER
meeting and say, God is here"
And" said the speaker, Il some
times. think the devil smiles as he
leaves us here, and goes out into
the world to work his will. God
should be in the council meetings,
in the city hall, in the legislature,
in every department of govern
ment, then, will we have n Christ
ian gove ern N t, and
not have the disgrace of
graft and boodling to stain the au-
mails of our fair country" Mr..
Akers cited Folk of Missouri, Je-
rome of New York, Mike Pagan Of
Jersey City as noted types of poll
ticians, who were actuated in all
their moves by moral principles,
and who have all accomplished a
wonderful work.
Mr.. Akers was much enthused
by his subject aud delivered his
sermon with impassioned vigor.
1t was listened to with much inter
est by a large audience.

put up the other half. The ques-

to do this without the consent of

that one would read the lesson and
