and often with suffering, disap.

great opportunity.
'Tis not how long we live, but
how well. How nearly we have
lived up to our opportunity. Our
greatest opportunity is, to love
God and secure salvation; 40 that
when this probation ceases it may
be but promotion to higher

subject of this sketch, Mr.. Jerome
Nihizer, son of Samuel Nihizer,
was born in Hooking county, Ohio,
December 81, 1867. His entire
life was spent in Hooking county,
a large part in Logan.

ing became more aggravated and
more intense until Monday the
5th. of June, when his vitality
was unable to hold out in the nn-
even struggle and yielded to the
inevitable, and he died. Aged
40 years, 5 months and IL days,
He was married te Mrs. Elizabeth
Myers Sept. "a, 1900.
He became concerned in refer.

consecrated himself to God, and
on the goth. day of April, at his
earnest request, | was permitted
to administer to him the holy
ordinance of baptism and receive
him into membership in the Logan
u. b. Church. From that time
on he became anxious for the
conscious knowledge of his accep.
tance with God; again and again
asking christians to meet at his
home and sing and pray that God
would grant to him brighter evil

last Thursday, was bountifully
granted, since which time not a a

mind. o, unsaved man or woman

you only have sufficient time to
bring yourself to where God can
whisper peace to your lost soul.

had at Oak Grove cemetery.
No mig hit shall be In heaven,
No gathering gloom
Shall over that glorious landscape ever
come,
No tears shall fall In sadness over these
flowers
That breathe their fragrance through
celestial bowers.
Noni Int shall be In heaven, no darkened
rooms,
No bed of death nor silence of the tomb;
Bat breezes ever fresh with love and
truth
Shall brace the frame with an i'm mortal
youth.
