Funeral Of Mrs. Elizabeth
Carlisle.
The funeral servita was held
at the residence of MIR. and
Mrs. George Graybill, with
whom Mrs. Carlisle had made
her home since the death of
her husband. Several of the
members of the Presbyterian
choir under the leadership Of
Mrs. Green were present and
sang some suitable hymns very
sweetly. Rev. J Mac A|Iister,
Mrs. Carlisle's pastor, made the
address. taking for his text
Rev. 1913, blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord :.
for they rest from their labors
and their works follow them"
In order to die in the Lord one
must live in the Lord. Rev.
Mac Allister spoke appropriate
ly from the Scripture words re.
viewing the long life of the
deceased and commenting on.
her beautiful character and
serene disposition. The house
was filled to overlooking with a
company of admiring and SYM
pathizing friends and relatives.
In closing his remarks the
speaker read the following
obituary notice:
The deceased, Mrs. Elizabeth
Carlisle, was born at Rushville,
Ohio, March End, 1921. Her
mother died when she was but
two years old, so she never
knew a mothers love nor could
she recall her face or form,
but her father married agair,
while she was still a child, and
her step-mother proved a
mother indeed to her.
Her early life was spent on a
farm. Her father was a de-
voted christian and an elder in
the United Presbyterian church.
Thus she grew up amid relig-
ious influences which moulded
her character. She regarded
her sixteenth year as the time
of her conversion. She was
profoundly impressed during a
communion season held in the
church and would then have
united with the church, but ii
was not as customary then to
receive the young into church
fellowship as it is today. She
was about twenty-one when
she made public confession of
her faith in the Saviour and
took her place at the Lords
table.
When about twenty-foul
years of age she married Mr.
Basil w. Carlisle, in April, 1916
Mr.. Carlisle was a successful
farmer. Their circumstances
were comfortable. He had the
confidence and respect of
wide circle of friends. More
than once he was sent to repre-.
sent his county in the state
lie gislature.
Il Eight children were born t6
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle, six boys
and two girls, all Of whom ex.
cept one son, survive theil
father and mother. Theil

you 90 until you see In one
place Z railroad tracks and The
different mountains with their
beautiful foliage, with here and
there a little valley, is the most
beautiful sight / have ever te-
held. At one place was a nat
ural road, but not being salts
fled with that, the Railroad Co.,
blasted another through solid
rock, leaving a mountain of
rock standing out alone between
tn, two roads. 1t cost $500 a
foot, that is down in length to
blast it.
We reached Portland, which
is $3.50 feet, and not being able
to return in time for dinner, we
dined at this little mining town.
We were the only ladies. This
is a work train and only carries
one coach. The miners occupy
two tables and we at another
with the railroad crew, who are
very, very nice to us, and after
dinner, take US up to the 1mpe-
rial Mining Co., claims, where
they bring the cars down after
filling. This claim sold, four
years ago for only $4,000, but
today is worth much more.
Each car holds IL tons, and the
ore runs from So to SIS pr ton.
The manager of this mine came
down on the train with us. This
trip takes us 500 feet higher,
and not only around the noun
tains but clear on to the top.
We go the very end of the N.
w. road, and it is a beautiful
sight when you are 1880 feet
high to look down over hundreds
of mountain peaks covered with
pine trees and all colors of stone
|interlaced with railroad tracks.
The mist was hanging over the
clouds during the day. Some
times we were above, and at
other times below it. In place
of returning to Deadwood for
lunch, as we expected to do, it
took us all day on this trip, ON
ly returning in time to dress
for dinner. After dinner we
visited the library, a very nice
$4,000 building. They only
have about 1000 books in circu-
lation, and not arranged on the
shelves as neat as our own, but
the building on each side of the
entrance is a cloak room
You then enter the reading
room from each side. On the
other side of the reading room
are 2 rooms, / to be used as
work room for mending books
the other as a business room
/. The library is kept up by taxa.
.|tion. How l wish we could have
such a fine library building.
We go to Lead tomorrow, and
from there to Spearfish, then tt
Hot Springs. Will write yor
from there.

The following letter received
from the travellers in tho Black
Hills, Mrs. r. e. Hills and Mrs.
Emma Russell, and give it as a
matter of news.
Deadwood, South Dakota,
August oath, 1906.
Dear Folks
Surprising you wish to hear
if we are still on earth, a fact l
am glad to state is true, but had
the weather continued as hot as
it was Monday, there would
have been nothing left of US
1t so awful hot and dusty. l
went to sleep with Mrs. Hills
laboring with the palm fan, and
the dust filling in the berth at
the window, then the rain, but
we had to take that, as we could
not stand the heat with the
window closed, then, thank
goodness, it turned cooler, so
much so that we had to sleep
under two blankets, and by that
time it was time to get up so s
to see D. w. at Oelrich, and our
watch being one hour ahead
we had plenty of time. 1t has
been raining and cooler ever
since.
Crops, what little they have,
look very we'll; the corn l am
told is of good quality, but GER
tainly is not in quantity, as it
is only about q feet high and
looks strange, after seeing our
Iowa corn. Chadron and Rapid
City seem to be the only places
of any note. The latter place
has a real Indian school; one of
the teachers who was on the
train with us, said they had a
little trouble in the school by
trying toretain the Indian chill
dren in the school during vaca-
ton and not allowing them to
return to their tribe.
The Whitewood Canyon, as
we near Deadwood, is beautiful
with its great lodges of rock on
either side of the road, with
other mountains more beautiful
in the distance; some places the
big white rocks reminds one OF
some castle long since fallen in
to ruins. The valleys are very
pretty with their little patches
of grain, and even potatoes, y
which are just now in bloom
but l am afraid jack frost will
get them before the good PEG.
| pie have a chance to harvest
them.
The elevation increases 81 fl
to the mile, and by the time
we reach Deadwood, so named
by one of our Generals after de-
feating the Indians at this place
he sent the good news to friend:
saying: 81 got the deadwood OF

walton of 4,630 feet, but in 3

A FAILURE?

He kept his soul unspotted
AS he went upon his way,
And he tried to do some service
For Gods people day by day;
He had time to cheer the doubter
Who complained that hope was dead,
He had time to help the cripple
When the way rough ahead;
lie had time to guard the orphan, and one day,
well satisfied
With the talents God had given him, he closed his
eyes and died.
He had time to see the beauty
That the Lord spread all around
He had time to hear the music
In the shells the children found;
He had time to keep repeating,
AS he bravely worked away,
at is splendid to be living
In the splendid world today"
But the crowds-the crowds that hurry
After golden przes-said
That he never had succeeded,
When the clods lay DER his head
He had dreamed-"He failure they COM
passonately sighed,
For the had little money in his pockets when
he died

AMELIA CHURCH.
By Rev. Richard McIlwaine, d. L


In the course of pastoral duty, / soon came
into touch with family of excellent social posi-
ton, consisting of old gentleman widowed,
and not processing Christian; widowed sister
and niece, both lovely Christian women with the
gentle manners so characteristic of that day. The
brother and sister both aged and the niece
advanced in years. Their circumstances
comfortable, possessed of a good residence and
farm, plenty OF servants carriage and horses, and
enough means for their uses. | was told that the
old gentleman had been in earlier life vepy wick
ed man, a disciple of Tom Paine, and along with
a cotere of like spirits from Amelia and adjoining
countless would assemble Saturdays at point
in the upper part OF Amelia which they named
Painesville for day of carousal and profanity.
In due time L called, invited into the parlor.
where the gent hammered Christian women
joined me and gave hearty greeting. After
a time, perhaps half an hour, the door opened and
in walked the old gentleman, the embodiment OF
the best external features of an old-tme Virginia
gentleman-tall, erect broad-shouldered, snowy
white hair, benevolent countenance; alfred i'll the
olden style, rulfled shirt BOSOM blue broad cloth
coat with brass buttons, sumptuously gotten
up if i'll attendance on all imposing public tunc-
ton. His reception of me dignhed and
polite, though at first somewhat restrained with
the air of of the world who wants to know
you better before he lets himself into your conf
dence. Presently however, it out casually
in conversation that | had been a student OF
Hampden- Sidney College, which greatly excited
his interest and led to the announcement that he
also was alumnus of that institution, and later
to the evolution Of the further fact that he
connected with the college under the administra-
ton of Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander, of whom
he spoke with warm admiration and, | thought,
with tinge of affection. After this there
was let up in the conversation. The ice had
been broken and tie established between us We
both attached to the college and to the
memory of DIR. Alexander. When | arose to say
goodbye he took me cordially by the hand and
invited me to call when | could
AS | rode home that evening a of serious
responsibility oppressed me. Here was man
the verge of eternity. From all accounts he
had led a grossly wicked life. SO far l knew
minister of the gospel had to him
had ever conferred with him on the subject of
his souls salvation. He attended church
left his plantation, except on election day, when
he would go to the polls in his carriage, cast his
vote and return home. We were now on terms
when | could approach him. The obligation rest
ed on me- But | was young and inexperienced.
He old and dignihed and possibly might be
offended and treat such effort as an intrusion.
| thought about it; prayed it. At last it
occurred to me that possibly ! might obtain the
access | desired through the medium of a book.
On going 90 my bookcase my eye soon rested
