In Memory Of the Late william W.
Sweet.

The following is the report of the
committee of the Swanton Epworth
League appointed to prepare a suitable
memorial upon the death of the late
William W. Sweet, for many years the
leading spirit af the organization:
The departure from this life, Nav 4th,
1909, of Mr.. w. w. Sweet is deeply
deplored by the memberso f this League
and residents of this community, and in
so bereaving loss this organization is
forever deprived of a strong and salu-
tary influence that has not only pervad-
ed its being from the period of incipien-
cy but has gone out with refreshing
health and vigor to other orders and
classes, civic and religions.
While stricken by shaft the mortal
arm is too short to stay, we have the
comforting assurance that our sorrow
should be occasioned more for ourselves
than for him who, released from pain
and freed from care, has entered into
Tie JuNS VI DIS I1OTO.
In the narrow range of mans vision
it presses upon the senses almost unreal
that there can be a meeting. such as
this, within these walls clustering with
his memory without his kindly voice
and familiar presence; for as the first
and only president of this League to a
marvellous degree he impressed his per-
sonalty upon its acts and history. His
was well balanced mind with a clear
judgment elevated to broad conceptions
of justice and sweet charity to his fell
lows. These temporal gifts, fortified
by believers faith, enabled him under
not few adverse conditions to found
and fashion this League which stands
to him a monument no foe can either
deface or break down. 1t is no light
task to sum up the usefulness, the zeal
and the labors of a career crowded in
accomplishments and rate and fix them
where they belong in hfe's achieve
ments. No community indebted for
one so ready to suppress vice and pro-
mote virtue can quickly weigh and ac-
curately estimate its loss when such a
citizen is taken away.
For succession of years his dominant
aim has been to cultivate and superin-
tend movements in various branches of
the Christian church and awaken in
others burning knowledge for the
loftier truths made beautiful to man by
search of the Scriptures. Remember
ing his examples and his appeals who
can say how many seed sown by his
hand oyer ready soil are to spring into
the fairest fruit?
Such visitation from the Supreme
Decree closely touches this League,
this church and many societies, but
more incisively than all, it reaches and
wounds those first in his home and
heart, and to them we invoke solace
without hope save from Him so lowly
in spirit and single in purpose that walk
ing in His mission among men had not
where to lay HIS head.

Elgin, ILL.,, Oct 23.-Advocates of the

torrid denunciation of the proposed

other direction by an address at a

and at present one of the five COM

A resolution urging the legislature
to enact law giving cities the right
to adopt such form of government

that it is easier to buy three COM
