Louis ZWirn Dead.

Died-On March 2nd, 1907,
at the home of his devot-
ed brother, Hyman, Louis Zwirn,
aged 81 years. Death claimed
him last Saturday morning, and
on Sunday, accompanied by vast
concourse of Brookhaven friends
and visitors from distance, the
body was borne to its last resting
place and inferred in the hand
some Jewish cemetery of this city.
The funeral address was made
by MIR. Max LewinthaI, and was
eloquent in its sincerity and beau
ty of diction.
Mr.. Zwirn was a sufferer from
organic heart trouble of a pro-
nounced type; and his death was
due to this constitutional weak
ness. Dying in comparative
youth, with strong love for life
and the things pertaining thereto,
Mr.. Zwirn viewed his approach
ing demise regretfully; but met it
manfulIy. He was the soul of de-
votion and of courtesy to his
friends, and friendships were sa-
cred to him. There was daily
beauty about his home life, which
won every heart that knew him
we'll. In temperament he was
mild, coneiliatory and candid and
gained confidence and esteem, Of
ten where least he expected it.
To the sorrowing brothers who
journeyed with him across the
ocean to bis country some fifteen
years ago, and who are now left to
cross the river of Death as he has
passed it, we extend the hand of
sympathy.
1t is the broken ties at the grave
that prompts us to fuller appre-
citation of the tenderness of the
ties that are not yet broken; and
so, while we mourn the loss of
one dead, we may rejoice that
there is no cloud SO dark that
there is not light behind it, no
sorrow so poignant that there is
not balm for the wound it in
fiicts.
Among the many visitors at the
stricken home and at the funeral
we're the following: Mr.. Loeb
and Miss Mamie Loeb, ID.
Abrams, S. Kemp and family and
Mr.. Sam Sokoloski, of Halle
hurst; Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Fox and
Messrs. L. Aaronson and L..
Forscheimer, of Summit; Mr..
Cohn. of Magnolia.

Mccall Creek Preaching.

Today has been a great day foe
Bethel church, great in morr
ways than one. First, great
sermon on a great subject pertain
ing to The Greatest Need of Our
Country Today" by DR.. Cooper.
The preacher stated, among other
good things, that he was mem
ber of an organization. that has
for its purpose the uplifting of
our citizens and the purifying of
the ballot box. He stated that
the Methodists and Baptists of
Lincoln county are responsible
for the results of elections, and
that it is the purpose of the
preachers, in the above named Or
ganization, to persuade the voters
Of the two denominations to vote
for clean men only, and it is my
opinion that the Baptist preachers
will have to get up HUSTLE if
they keep pace with the Doctor in
this move. He said many other
things that the candidate who
world offer, or the voter who
would accept drink of whisky, a
cigar, or hundred dollars for his
vote or influence, should have the
stripes put on him and serve in
the penitentiary by the side of
the murderer and vile criminals
of the land, which is as true as
any other gospel truths he could
have presented. Healso said that
our people should not vote for any
man who will shoot craps, play
cards, drink whisky or is in sym
patby with blind tigers.
Second, it was a great miss for
a great per cent Of the member
ship to fail to hear the sermon;
but it is to be hoped that they
will wake up to the fact that it
will make them better Christians,
better citizens, better neighbors.
and much better friends to hear
Dir. Cooper regularly. B.
