Action OF the Session as to the Death
Of our Pastor. Rev. Geo. W. TOmS0n.

Ib is with profound sorrow, which words
cannot express, that the Session OF this
church records the sudden and tragic death,
on Thursday April 18th Instant, Of our
beloved Pastor, Rev, George w. Tomson,
the mystery of which is beyond our solu-
ton.
Resolred /. That, while mourning over
this calamity, which has shocked the whole
community, we bow in silent and reyerent
submission leaving the solution in the
hands of the God of Providence.
2. That we record our gratitude and APP
probation for the many years OF excellent
ministry, in which he has served the church
and his fellow men, and especially the
years of efficient and DEVOTED labor in our
community.
3. That we record our united testimony
TO his excellent standing as a Christian and
Pastor, and especially in his fellowship
and labor with the Session, and mourn that
his life should be cut off in the midst of
these labors and SO soon after seeing his
desires fulfilled in the enlargement and
adornment of the church edifce.
4. That we have ever found him to be
a workman that needeth not to e a. h I'M
ed, in the Sabbath-school, She prayer
meeting, the church and community, hav-
ing the interests of all upon his heart.
s. That We desire to accept and improve
the admonition, which comes to us as a
church, as a Session and as individuals, for
personal faithfnlness as to our trusts, for
united, conseerated and devoted effort in
all our ministries, while yet life is given us,
aud work remains in our hands TO be done.
6 That we tender our Christian sympa-
thy to those upon whom this great sorrow
has come With special bitterness, and pray
that all may yet be overruled for good, IN
ways ne cannot now understand, and that
they and we may share in the Divine con-
ISOLATION, in the 5lillment Of the divine
promises.

from Lake Lilly half a mile distant the fire

were treasured because of their associations
with the memory of Mr.. Laukenau.

How Is Clan a Sewing Machine.

Sewing is not half as hard as some
people tiesl it If the sewing machine
is kept in good running order. When
the sewing machine works hard and
heavily take the needle and shuttle
out and give every joint and bearing
a generous Iath Of gasoline. OF course
there Should not be lighted lamp or
fire of any kind in the room. Turn the
wheels l9iiskIy for a few moments to
enable the gasoline to penetrate every
part and 10 loosen and wash away the
old oil and CRIME; then clean it all
away. When all the CRIME and oil
have been removed oil with proper lu-
bricating oil, running the machine for
two or three minutes before inserting
the needle Now with a piece of cham
dis skin wipe away all superfuous oil.
It is a pleasure to sew on a machine
treated in this manner.
