wholly crushed. In illustration he tells
this story of very light mulatto of
Tennessee:
A number Of years ago it came to
MIN suddenly one day that he was
White enough to pass anywhere for
white. and he acted instantly on the
Inspiration. He went to Memphis and
bought first class ticket ON a Missis-
sippi river boat to Cincinnati. No one
suspected that he was colored. He sat
at the table with white people and even
occupied stateroom with a white
man. At first. he said, he could hardly
restrain his exultatiOn, but after a
time, although he associated with the
white men. he began to be lonesome.
1T grew colder and colder" he said.
In the evening he sat on the upper
deck, and as he looked over the railing
he could see down below the negro
passengers and deck hands talking and
laughing After time when it grew
darker they began to sing the inimita-

Old Folks at Church.

The old folks day, Sunday, at the
Methodist church was a happy one for
most of the church. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather score
of the elderly people of our community,
regardless of church affiliations greeted
the pastor from the front pews. The
service was after the manner of We olden
time. AS "How Tedious and Tasteless
the Hours" was ''lined" the voices
caught the strain of 40 years agone and
the tunes were "pitched' and sang in
the memory of other days. Tbs subject
of the address, "Duties of Present and
Passing Generations" was taken from
Joseph's care of his father, Jacob. b
At the close of the address Mrs. H. T.
Robinson sang a touching solo, "Don't
Forget the Old Folks" The noon hour
was cheerful one. The good things
prepared by the ladies were heartily
appreciated. The afternoon program
was interesting. The testimonies were
fervent. The Epworth League had a
part. A solo by Mr. Britain, a recita-
ton by Miss Margaret Sutherland and
one by Miss Lottie Higginson were we'll
received. The pastor was called upon
to leave the afternoon session to preach
the funeral of one who had been invited
to the meeting, Mrs. Matilda Bacon,
mother of Mrs. Stewart, of South New
port, who passed into rest Saturday
night, thus closing pilgrimage began
in Belfast, Ireland, 72 years ago. This
funeral service was held in the Baptist
church because Of the service already in
progress in the Methodist church.
Brother Schlosser, of the Baptist church,
assisted in the service. The singing was
beautiful and appropriate by the Bap-
fist choir, assisted by the Methodist
choir. The obituary closed by saying,
"She died trusting in the Savior" This
enabled the minister to speak with as
surance from the text, ''In My Fathers
House Are Many Mansions" Thus one
OF our old people, not permitted to
gather at our banquet, was taken to the
marriage supper of the Lamb. Thus
passed an old folks day.
