was taking a horseback ride, and when
passing an Indian camp pack of saw
age dogs ran out and frightened her
pony so that it ran away and threw
her off, striking her head against a
fence stake. She was carried uncou-
scious to the mission and died in about
three weeks.
This terrible accident and the neces-
sity of giving his motherless children
a better training than they could re-
ccive on the mission determined Mr..
Berryman to return to Missouri, and
in lS47, at his own request, he WAS
transferred and placed il charge of
the Cape Giratdcau district. While
at work there he purchased a large
tract OF land in the Arcadia Valley,
where he afterwards established the
Arcadia High School, employing
teachers, instluting regular curricu-
lum OF studies and issuing diplomas
to its graduates, The school became
the alma mater Of many Of the profes-
sional and business men Of this sec
ton. It was successful from the start,
was palroniHed from far and near, and
200 to 500 pupils gathered annually
under It's roof. In 1858 he disposed
of the property to his principal, Prof.
A. c. Farnham. The war coming on
/ the school was broken up, aud for a
/ time the property was utilized by the
government in housing Union refugees
from Southeast Missouri and Arkansas,
hut by special permission OF Gen. {.
i. Fisk, MIR Bergman regained pos
session of the property aud the school
was rc-opcncd aud continued under
his management until 1867, when he
again disposed of it aud permanently
retired from educational work.
He remained in the active work VI
the ministry until 1888, when, at his
own request, he was placed on the
"supcranualed list For four or five
years before his death he was blind,
but walked in that faith which had
sustained him Though the many trials
OF his life, awaiting the call Of the
Master whom he had SO faithfully
served, when his ,ighllcss eyes should
behold the glorious vision of the
Eternal City.

Rev. Jerome {. Bergman died at
his home in Caledonia, Mo, last Tucs-
day, May s, 1906. He was probably

No man was better known in South
east Missouri, where the greater part
Of his long and eyentiul life was spent,
and no man ever enjoyed the conf
dence, respect and love of the people
Of his own and other churches in n
higher degree than he. For many
years he has been affectionately known
as "Fathcr" Bergman, and indeed he
had been A. q father to many of the
prominent professional and business
men OF this and other parts of the
State, whose teacher he was as head
of the Arcadia High School, all OF
whom rcyered aud loved him.
Father Bergman was born neal

family which for many years found 4

grown he came to Missouri, connected

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, n. IS

of the Master SO dominate all critical
and theological questions that any
person of deep religious experience
and sound judgment can teach the life
of Christ usefully If not adequately.
The Joy with which this year of study
OF Christ's life Is received should lead
to much stronger emphasis upon this
part of the Bible for Sunday school
study.
In connection with the two hun
dredth anniversary of BENJAMIN
Franklin's birth, who is in some re-
sDects the greatest American, atten-
ton is called to the creed which he
drew up before he was 20, as contain
ing the fundamental points of all true
religion" 1t comprises the belief in
the creative power and beneficence of
the one true God, who has a right to
our worship and service, in the i'm
mortality of the soul and in the JUS
tice Of that power which presides over
the souls destinies. With all respect
to Franklin and allowance for the re-
ligious influence around him, how diff
ficult, cold and unsatisfying is this
type of religion compared with Jesus
profoundly simple message that God
is our Father. From that faith in God
as our Father grow life and social re-
lations, comfort. strength and hope
that surpass infinitely anything that
can be derived from Franklin's creed.
1t is because Jesus gospel of God as
our Father has been so corrupted and
overloaded, that men like Franklin
have been driven to creeds that do not
satisfy, while these creeds are yet
nearer to Christ's gospel than the hard
theologies, which the churches have
often taught.

ed last evening after a two-days' ses-

the delegates returned home with the
feeling that the meeting has not been

list church at o'clock and addressed
by Mr.. Parson, was one of great en-
thusiasm. The mems O'Clock meet
ing was adjourned and all met with

well received.
The day was closed with the meet
