Grace Church Notes: The services
at Grace church on Easter day we're
largely attended, and the musical
portions of the services are reported
as the finest ever sung in the church.
In addition to the music as scheduled
in last weeks paper, Stainer's duet,
Love Divine,'' was sung by Isaac
Mason and Miss Sophie Brown. The
production was rendered with fine
religious feeling. The Sunday school
service at p. m. was choral, as,
also, evening prayer. The Sunday
school Lenten offering is reported
much larger than usual, and the
usual Easter Offering" is very salts

money has been so recently raised for

home in La Grange. ILL.,, April IL. is
taken from the La Grange Citizen of
April 49,
Our community was greatly shocked
upon learning of the death of Charles
G.. Newell last Saturday morning at
half past eight. He became ill on the
Sunday night previous, but gave little
attention to his suffering and con-
tinued in his usual work. He took
an active part in the election on Tues.
day, but, his illness increasing, a
physician was called and an operation
for appendicitis was performed Wed.
nesday evening. All that medical
skill and tender hands could do was
done, but on Saturday morning he
yielded his spirit to the God who
gave it. Charles g. Newell, son of
G.. W. and Mrs. Jeanette (Richardson)
Newell, was born in Ellington, April
4, 1860. Early in life he moved
with his parents to Stafford, where
he remained until twenty years of
age, when he came to Chicago to work
for his uncle. G. M. Richardson, later
engaging in business in Omaha. Re-
turning to Chicago, he was employed
as salesman with M. A. Richardson,
afterward accepting a position with
the Cribben & Sexton Go with whom

Mr.. Newell moved with his family to
LAGRANGE in May, 1904, purchasing
his late residence at II Seventh
avenue. He was active in every de-
coming to LAGRANGE was helpful
member of the Garfield Park Metho.

to our village he immediately iden-
titled himself with the First Metho-
dist church and at his death was a
member of the Official Board, the
Mems Club and the Berean Bible
class He was also chor;ster of the
Epworth League and Sunday school
and the teacher of class of boys
Mr.. Newell's influence for good was
widely felt in every interest of the
community. He was active in civic
work both in Chicago and LAGRANGE.
He was strong, aggressive worker
for the cause of temperance. His
life was active, his death was
triumphant, his influence lives after
him. Charles g. Newell was married
to Miss Lucy Soper, in Broad Brook,

years old and Raymond, fifteen.
These, together with his parents and
three sisters, Mrs H. s. Witter, Hart

affection of this man. They have the
sincere sympathy of the entire com.

spiritualism. but he was open to con
viction. The day before his client was
to go to the death chair the lawyer
made a proposition to him: by this
time tomorrow" he said, you will
have crossed the mysterious river
You say 1t is possible for spirits to re-
turn. IL you think you're so smart,
Just return and then III be con-

of man. He readily agreed to the
lawyers plan. IF there is any way
can appear to you," he said, you can
bet your neck I'll do It, II I'm not on
hand at the appointed time you can
Just make up your mind it's because
there's nothing in spiritualism. But
I'll come around all right"
The two decided on a time and
place for the meeting.

der to be there" said the lawyer in
telling of the experiment, land waited
around for more than an hour on the
fellow. but the cuss never showed up"
