BLOOD

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re-
freshed-bone, muscle and
brain, in body and mind-with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
we are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nutriment
in il.
Back of the blood is food,

Mrs. Andrew Still.

The subject of this sketch, Anne
Trembley Still, was born in Ohio.
September II, 1880, and died Deem
Der 13, 1909, being 70 years. months
and 2 days old at the time of her
death. She was united in marriage
to Andrew Still August 3, 1854. To
this union were born 10 children, 4
boys and girls. All but two survive
her. One son, Roy, died in infancy,
and one daughter, Mary, died several
years ago. Sister Still was converted
and baptised into the fellowship of
New Salem church rs years ago, and
lived a consistent Christian until she
| fell asleep in Jesus, in whom she put
her trust. The children that survive
her are ]. N. Still, Susan j., Eliza

and Edward
Grandma Still was one of the old
est members of New Salem church.
She was devoted. faithful Christian
mother. Always setting Christian ex-
amples, and giving Christian advice
to her children and grandchildren
and neighbors. Always ready to help
in time of sickness, both in her own
family and among her neighbors For
several years she has been afflicted
and confined to her home where she
died. She was true companion
which she proved to her beloved hus-
band, who was taken away by death
last spring, leaving her in the care of
her beloved children, Edward and
his companion and Rosa who has al
ways lived In the parental home and
all kindness and care was given
Grandpa and Grandma in every way
iby them in providing in their Attic
ton the best of skilled physicians
and helping of all the children, but
this all failed and death came at last
and released her from all the suffer-
ing in the body she had patiently
awaited. being prepared for the mes
senger when he came. She leaves her
children and many friends to mourn
her loss, but their loss was her gain.
Her body was followed by a large
procession of friends. and neighbors
to New Salem church where funeral
services were held by the writer of
this sketch. Text was from Psalms
37:37: Mark the perfect man and
behold the upright, for the end of
that man is peace" Sister Still GER
tainly had left evidence among her
children and neighbors in her per-
feet government and instructions,
leaving marks of that evidence OF
being perfect in Christ in her life
before them. And also all that
knew her will not forget her, being
honorable and upright in her every
day life. And surely she has the
promise in the text of that perfec,
peace which is given to every man
and woman who trusteth in the Lord
The Psalmist David said that he
should be like tree. planted by the
rivers OF waters that bringeth forth
his fruit in his season. His leaf also
shall not wither; whatsoever he
doeth shall prosper. And the Master
has said also. Blessed are the pure
in heart for they shall see Cod
After the services the body was
laid to rest in New Salem Genet cry
