BACCALAUREATE SERMON
BY Rev. g. r. Hambleton on Fellow
ship an Able Effort.

The Baccalaureate services of this
years graduating class of the High
School was held at the Presbyterian
Church Sunday evening.
Rev. G. F. Hambleton of the Bap.
tist Church preached the sermon.
he took as his text the 7th verse of
the 18th Chapter, First Epistle of
John: "But If we walk in the light
as he is In the light, we have fellow
ship one with another and the blood
of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all
sim"
After few Introductory remarks
In which he commended the High
School as an institution he spoke of
the great benefits of fellowship. He
divided his subject into three heads,
Fellowship of Thought, Fellowship of
Association and Christian Fellowship.
In treating his subject he frequently
drew upon his experiences In Japan,
where he served for several years as
missionary, for illustrations. One
of his most striking illustrations was
that of game played in japan the
contestants and each given lantern
in which is burning candle and they
race for fixed goal the winner of the
race is the one who reaches the goal
first with the candle In his lantern
still burning, he advised the gradu-
ates to tix a goal for which they would
strive in the race of life but that
they must be sure to keep their light
burning until they reached 1t, that If
they allowed their light to become
extinguished they would lose in the
race.
The great good that comes to us by
fellowship of thought with the great
minds of the country through reading
their works, the benefit of the fellow
ship of Association and the great
benefit of fellowship with Christ was
clearly shown.
The sermon was a strong, able and
forceful effort and especially appro-
pirate for the occasion.
The music furnished by the High
School Chorus was of high charac-
ter and the cornet solo by Miss Mora
Harsha was as usual musical treat.

Obituary.

Lucy A., daughter of Hosa and
Liza Willett, was born In Burlington
county, New Jersey, Dec 3, 1884, and
came to Hillsboro when a child, She
departed this lite May 28, 1908 She
was united in marriage Oct. IL, 1885,
to Jasper N. Fenner. To them were
born nine children, eight sons and one
daughter. Three sons and the daugh-
ter have preceded her to that heav-
emily home, leaving husband and five
sons to mourn her loss. She united
with the NJ. e. Church at Pike Chapel
when young girl and was faithful
until her afilction prevented her from
attending. She often spoke of that
heavenly home and loved ones there.
She made the remark a few days be-
fore she died to her son Ed; BE We
also ready, for in such an hour as ye
think not the son of man cometh l
long to go home to see Clara and the
rest of them, they are only waiting
at the river for me.
Aprecious one from US Is gone,
A voice we loved Is still,
A place is vacant In our home
That never can be filled.
Dear mother we have laid thee
In the peaceful grave embrace,
But thy memory win be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

Denver RenOminated.

On last Thursday the Democrats of
this, the Sixth Congressional district,
renominated Mat r. Denver for con-
gress. That Congressman Denver Is
a one termer there can be no doubt
as his former election was due only to
the bitter fight that had been raging
in the Republican party for the four
years prier thereto, and now with a
reunited party and every one working
for the Hon Jesse Taylor there can
be no doubt but that the old sixth will
return to the Republican column
where she belongs.
There is nothing in Mr.. Denver's
record that should cause any Republi-
can to vote for him, and upon what
ground he can ask or expect ReDubli-
can support can not be imagined. He
has regularly drawn his salary and
always voted against all legislation
that has been suggested by the Re-
publican party, and this will surely
not bring much Republican support
to his aid without which he is certain
to be defeated.
A. e. Hough, editor of the Gazette,
was chosen presidential elector and
will have his name on the ballot this
fall and not get to vote for Bryan In
the ELECTORAL college.

If the town is without protection
against fire at night It is due either
to their bad policy or the fail
ure of their employees to follow their
instructions and under either contin-
gency they are impossible. 1t is a
"penny wise and pound foolish" policy
that will endeavor to cut down the
expenses of running the plant and
have the town at the mercy of a
fire. We hope that Thursday morn

prevent a repetition of such condl-

GREAT DAMAGE
Caused to Feibel Bros. Columbus
Store by Fire.

The Feibel Bros department store,
of Columbus, was visited by dlsas-
trous fire Monday evening, causing
loss of about $4,000. The store is
under the management of Julius and
Louis Feibel, of Columbus, formerly
of this place, and Jacob and Michael
Feibel of the local store are members
of the firm.
The following account of the fire is
clipped from the Ohio State Journal
of Tuesday:
Fire of an unknown origin caused
heavy damage to the stock and build
ing of Feibel Brothers department
store at 63l.641 North High street
soon after $40 o'clock last evening.
Most of the damage was caused. by
smoke and water. Battalion Chief
Jack Welsh was overcome by smoke
but was revived in short time by
City Physician Obetz, and Chief Lauer
and members of chemical company
No. we're forced to leave the base
ment for the same cause.
Julius Feibel, a member of the firm,
said after the FIRE the loss from Are,
smoke and water would be about sl0,-
900 and that it was covered by insur-
ance.
The fire was discovered soon after
closing time by Robert Metcalf, son
of J. A. Metcalf, of the Capitol Cloth
ing company, located opposite the
Feibel store.
The blaze started in the basement
under the shoe department and the
prompt arrival of the department
kept it from spreading to other parts
of the store. Considerable rubber
goods we're stored in the basement,
and while this did not burn readily it
caused volumes of smoke to fill the
basement and several we're nearly
overcome.
Chief Lauer was forced oleave the
basement in order to escape being
overcome. Members of No. 8 chemi.
cal company worked in the midst OF
the smoke but had to give way be-
cause of it's density. Battalion Chief
Welsh fell to the floor unconscious
after leaving the basement and was
carried to Keifer's drug store where
he was revived by DR.. Obetz and was
able to return to fire headquarters.
Clerks employed at the store we're
getting ready to leave when the Ere
was discovered and left without diff
Guilty. The clerical force was work
ing on the books; and the members
carried books, papers and money and
large quantity of silk to the Capitol
Clothing company's store.
The company recently installed a
large new stock of summer goods and
large part of this was damaged by
smoke and water.
A great quantity of stock held in
reserve in the basement was ruined.
The second floor of the building was
unoccupied, but several families lived
on the third floor. The fire did not
reach them but several had packed
their belongings and were ready to
leave the building in case 1t spread.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1908-06-04
Inexeusable Condition.

Lack of water pressure at the time
of the fire last week came near being
the cause of the destruction of the
entire business district. When the
fire department first arrived at the
scene of the FIRE it was impossible to
throw a stream of water to the top of
the buildings and but for the old fire
engine the town would have been
doomed. Surely with the amount of
rain we have been having this spring
the wells at the power house should
be sufficient to supply all the water
needed for the town in any emergen-
cy, and If the stand pipe had been
full streams of water could have been
thrown on the fire that would proba-
bly, have saved Stabler's Store, and
unquestionably the building occupied
by Hiestand's grocery. The fact that
we have not had bad fire here In
years before is no excuse for negli-
gence in leaving the town without
protection against fire at night.
Some one is to blame for the condi-
tion that existed on the night of the
fire and that the loss on that night
was not much larger is due, only to
the good service done by the fire de-
partment under such adverse condi-
tions. The Board of Public Affairs
should see to 1t that the town is not
left without protection against fire

WORDS OF CONSOLATION.

'OANSo VI NC%NoOhhA
What a clear streak of sunshine our
Lord let into this region of sorrowing
hearts when he pronounced that won
derful benediction, "Blessed are they
that mourn" Christ's religion is the
first and only religion ever known In
this world which recognizes human
sorrow and has any sunshine of conso-
lation for broken hearts. One can
never emit the fragrance of sympa-
thy for others until they have been
bruised themselves. There is a great
lack about all Christians who have
never suffered.
Paul abounded in consolation be-
cause he had known sharp tribulation
in his own experience. What a prec-
ious spilling of his great sympathetic
heart that was when he overflowed
into that sublime passage which ends
in the fourth and begins in the fifth
chapter of his Epistle to the Corin-
thians.
The outward man perishing, the in.
ward man renewed day by day. The
affilction growing eight" in proper.
tion to the trancendent weight of the
glory. These are indeed mighty con-
solations to bear with US into our
houses of mourning. They are the
foretastes which make US long for
the full feast and the serapic joy of
the marriage supper of the lamb.

Artificial Gems.

Last year q German association
caused surprise to some scientists and
disbelief In others by the announce
ment that a process had been discov-
ered by which most OF the precious
stones could be produced by artificial
means.
Recently several official experts
have made an examination OF about 40
OF these artificial gems. In their re-
port to the Museum OF Natural His
tory they say:
"of all the stones we examined, we
can only call the artificial rubies q
direct success, but the imitation OF
this species is no new invention. We
therefore declare that there is moth
ing new or sensational In the new In
Yention."

Have you ever seen the thin and
feeble ranks of the G. A. r. march
that it did not send thrill through
you? Why is it that these men who
individually would not particularly
impress you cause such different
sensation from that Of any other body
of men? They are old and feeble,
their steps are faltering and uncer-
tain. You might pass each one Of
them by when separated and not even
notice them, still when they march in
a body they have a majesty that
thousands upon thousands of young
bouyant, well-drilled and well.groomed
troops do not possess. They are the
remnants of the worlds greatest vol
unteer army; they stand for the great
principles for which they offered their
lives; they are the preservers of the
Union, and the grand principles and
their great service to their country
and humanity gives to them a power
and majesty beyond and above that
of any other body. 1t will be only
few years until that grand army of
over 100000 men will have passed
into the valley of death, every indi-
vidual may in time be forgotten, but
the great principles to preserve,
which they sacrificed 80 much, will be
a monument of glory to them through
out the ages.

While the trustees representing the
persons claiming to hold the majority
of stock in the old college and the
trustees representing the Methodist
conference hav oeen fussing and
lawing for years to determine who
owns the building and the grounds we
suppose that now that a pavement
has been ordered along the grounds
that we will have an example of the
Alphonse and CASTOR act and that 1t
will be, "You build it my Dear Metho-
dist trustees" and mo, you build it
my dear stock holding trustees" and
that the people in that end of town
will for some time to come walk in the
mud.
