Father and Mother Gish
Pass to Their Reward

His early sdvocacy Of the Sunday
school, in the face Of his conservatiy,
surroundings, is thus readily OK,
planned. As neighbor and citizen he
was held in high esteem, For twenty.
five years the unaffected hospitality
OF Mr.. Gish and his devoted wife in
their Newbern township home was
enjoyed by many without social dis
tinction. The house was "known to
all the vagrant train"
Their home going was pathetic.
For years the husband has desired one
more visit among the scenes Of his
early labors, accompanied now by his
wife, but foF whose uniailing fidelity
to the home and the family many Of
his former trips would have been i'm
possible. Together, last May, they
entered deliberately upon a tour oi
Iowa, Illinois, New York, Ontario and
Pennsylvania with every reasonable
prospect Of dozen more years of life.
They protested the utmost pleasure
on their leisurely journey but in two
weeks after reaching the scenes Of
their childhood and early married
life, near Schock's Mills, in Lancaster
county, Pennsylvania, Mr.. Gish suf-
fered an attack of malaria which quite
impaired his health, He longed to
return to Kansas. Through all the
eight weeks illness, the physician
would report no other diagnosis than
home-sickness. The patient refused
all nourlshment except upon the pre-
text that it was impossible, otherwise,
to gain sufficient strength to make
the trip west. He was conscious to
the last.
With self-forgetting love the wife
ministered to his needs. Her life
time prayer that she be spared to at
tend the father Of her children in his |
last hours was answered. The labor
and sympathetic strain quite exhaust
ID her; and the congregation Of sor-
rowing relatives and old-time neigh
oors, in the nearby country church,
assembled to honor the memory OF
he one, was panied at the announce
nent that the other had also passed
Iway, and this upon the very farm on
which she was born and married and
n the home Of a sister-in-law whose
houghtfulness and hospitality had
lone so much to cheer the parting
lays Of both.
There has been widespread interest
throughout this community in the
'assing Of these worthy persons un-
Ter such sad and unusual circum-
tances. Sincere sympathy is extend
d to the large circle OF friends and
elatives.

noise. supposed the stove fell over
for him but soon l heard him cry out
and ran and opened my room door at
the head OF the stairs and alas here
came George up the stairs toward me
all ablaze from head to foot. / had
presences Of mind to take a heavy
comfort from bed nearby and threw
1t over him and got him down on the
floor and in that way the flames were
extinguished. Then l took him down
stairs and tried to extinguish the
flames, the kitchen being full Of fire
from ceiling to floor. The Lord
helped me and soon got the flames
under control.
When saw what had happened /
knew he had taken the gasoline can,
no doubt by mistake, out OF an ad-
joining room and must have poured
gasoline In the stove and caused the
explosion. One Of the first things he
said to me after had the clothes off
him was, Noah forgive me for this. 1
said, 1t is forgiven George.
The statement that a gasoline can
was kept in kitchen was in error-it
never was there.
Will yet add few words more. |
am glad to say right here that often
praised God by myself for what he
did for Brother Colby, especially in
the last two years. 1t was wonderful
how God revealed to him the plan Of
salvation, helped him to see the de-
pravity Of the human heart and that
Of his owu heart. He applied the
condition Of his life In which he was
placed for the good Of his soul.
This may suffice and hope l may
never go through another experience
like this in my life.

take care Of things at home. We
could entrust any and everything to
his care knowing that it was we'll
taken care Of. He loved 10 be with
us. We are glad it was our privilege
to minister for him.
There was q certain spot in my
orchard that he often resorted too
which he called his Gethsemane.
My daughter having gone to Okla
homa for several weeks visit, l went
to Abilene on Friday the 11th and
and brought George home with me.
He was glad to come and when we got
home ! said to him, Il knew him to be
a good cook now George you take
care Of things in the house and | will
take care Of things outside. He said
all right, so we got along fine.
On Monday evening the 14th he

he intended to fry for breakfast. We
