Obituary

Rachel Elizabeth, daughter of JOS
eph and E. Beata Starr, was born
about three miles southeast of Saman-
tha March 8, 1882, and died June 13,
1909.
When she was eight years of age
her mother died, and she being the
eldest child became house keeper for
her father and a mother to her two
younger brothers and one sister, Mary,
who alone of the family survive.
On March 13, 1856, she was married
TO John Kerns and to them we're born
twelve childl en-, ten of whom grew to
man and womanhood, the other two
dying in infancy. Nine of these still
reside within few miles of the old
home, and our Minnie was taken away
in 1899.
1t will thus be seen that of her
more than seventy-seven years of life,
almost seventy years of that time she
was the keystone of family.
How we'll she fulfilled her mission
can be fully attested by her children,
her husband and her friends ami neigh
bors Always of a retiring and modest
nature, one must have seen her in the
home to have known of her devotion
to and sacrifices for the other mem.
bers of the family.
Early in life she became a member
of the Methodist Church and had ever
since lived in full faith, repeatedly
assuring members of her family of her
willingness to meet her Maker. Dur
ing her last illness she was deeply con.
cerued lest the children should do too
much for her, when in fact, could II
have been possible for them to have
assumed all the intense suffering she
was subjected to, they would have no
more than just begun to repay her for
all those long years of prayer, vigi'
lance and anxiety she had so unset.
6shly lived for them.
Probably no better portrayal of her
being could be made than to quote
the following lines from the poet,
Holmes:
"A whittier soul, fairer mind,
A life with purer course and aim,
| A gentler eye, voice more kind,
We may not look on earth TO find.
The love that fingers DER her name
Is more than fame"

Living 7AS A fine ART
few Have MASTERED 1t
The Art OF Living Is Not Nearly as
Well Understood as 1t Should Be.


A Latin proyerb says, Cart is
long, life is short" But life itself
is an art which must be studied.
There are two schools that teach
the art Of life, the pessimistic and
the optimistic.
Pessimists arrive q, the conclu-
sion that life is hardly worth liv-
ing. That, however, is not the
Christian idea of life. True Chris
tians are optimists and believe
that fall things work together for
good to them that love God"
In the royal gardens Of Pots
dam there is an old sun dial which
bears the inscription, II count
only the pleasant hours" One
might envy it for this prerogativc
that records none of the dreary
hours, but only the sunny and
pleasant ones.
There are some persons that
have the faculty of overlooking
and forgetting the disagreeable
features Of life and noticing only
the pleasant sides. Such a sunny
mind is certainly a great blessing
and there is no reason why every
Christian should not have it
There are hours of perfect happi-
ness in everybody's life, hours
which reimburse for years Of suf-
fering and woe, the memory of
which many years after ightens
the worn face with happy smiles
But the pleasant hours are not
always the most profitable, and it
is true indeed what Moses says in
the ninetieth Psalm, that our life's
strength is labor and sorrow.
There are many Of the pleasant
hours which we might just as well
forget, and there are many among
the dark hours which have left be-
