Died After Being Terribly
Rurncd.

The citizens of this place and surround
ing community were terribly shocked on
Friday last as the report spread that
Mrs. Harry Hetterly was nearly burned
to death at her home, about a mile from
this place.
Mrs. Hetterly was preparing to bake
bread, and had the loaves in the pans,
ready to place them in the oven. The
pans were on a mantelpiece, over the
cookstove, where there was also lamp.
In getting the pans off of the mantel-
piece, Mrs. Hetterly accidentally knock
ed the lamp off the shelf onto the cook
stove. The bowl containing the oil broke
and the oil, running out upon the stove,
ignited The flames set fire to the dra-
perry hanging to the mantle, and when
she attempted to extmguish the flames,
her clothes caught fire. She became
panic stricken and ran out of the house,
and ran screaming toward her nearest
neighbor, Mr.. Putnam, but her clothes
were nearly burned off of her before aid
reached her. She was horribly burned
about the body.
Quickly as possible Drs. Birely and
Waters were summoned and did all in
their power to relieve her suffering
Mr.. Hetterly was not home at the time
of the accident being near Baltimore at
work on the w. M. railroad.
1t was thought best that Mrs. Hetter-
ly be taken to a hospital, and in the ev-
ening on the arrival of Mr.. Hetterly, she
was taken to Frederick City Hospital
over the w., F. & G. Ry. Her condition
was so serious that little hope of her re-
covery was entertained; she fingered I'M
til Sunday, when death relieved her of
of her suffering. She was brought home
Sunday evening.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon, 10th inst, in the U. B. church,
her pastor, Rev. G. |. Rider, assisted by
Revs. Koontz and Martin, officiating.
The pallbearers were Messrs. Howard
Bollinger, Geo. Wireman, VIM. Baltzell,
Emory Wisotzkey, George Damuth and
Clarence Idle, all members of Good
Samaritan Lodge, |. 0. 0. F., of which
Mr.. Hetterly is a member.
Mrs. Hetterly was q years, II months
and rs days of age, and is survived by
her husband, and three children, aged II,
and 2 years; also by her father, Henry
C. Wheat, of Winchester, Va, two broth
ers, WILDER C. and Edgar S. Wheat, five

generation. This is the explana-
tion of the moral degenerates of
our town.
1t is a home, where all are in
Sunday school and in church.
Parents who make their children
go to Sunday school and church
and do not go themselves, are train
ing them to hate the church and
religion. 81 was forced to 90 to
church when / was child" is the
excuse which many young men use
for not going to church.
If these young men had been
trained to love Gods house and it's
services, they would have been saw
ed to the church and the cause of
right. If parents do not love the
services of Gods house they de-
velop in their children distaste
for the church and it's services.
One of the results of religion in
the home is the family will be hap
pier. Children will be saved from
sin and ruin. Selfshness is the
greatest foe of the home. How
many souls un-Godly households
have helped to ruin, or been the
means of running altogether!
When parents turn their chill
dren away from God by example.
they turn them into the way of sin,
ruin and death.
Children will be an honor to
God and their parents, and God
will honor them in the world.
"For them that honor me [ will
honor" All true parents desire
the highest we'll being for their
children. Manhood is the richest
asset of the individual, the nation,
the world. The greatest need of
the church is Christian manhood.
The nations safest safeguard is
Christian manhood.
We can not do full justice tothe
subject without dedicating few
words to the influences of woman,
and the possibilities of Christian
womanhood i'll the home. Woman
has yet to learn the purifying and
blessed influences she may gain
and maintain over the intellect
and affections of the human mind.
Though the Christian woman
may not teach from the portico
nor thunder from the forum, in
her quiet retirement Of the home
she may form and send forth the
sages that shall govern and reno
vate the world and Christianize
mankind.
Though she may not grid her.
self for commercial pursuit, nor
sound the trumpet of war on vice
and sin, she may array herself in
the panopy of Heaven and send
the thrill of Christian charity,
love and benevolence through
thousand youthful hearts.
Though she may not enter the
list in legal collision, nor sharpen
her intellect amid the passionsand
conflicts of men, she may teach
the law of kindness, and hush up
the discords and conflicts of life.
Though she may not be clothed
as the ambassador of Heaven nor
minister at the altar of God, as a
secret angel of mercy in the home
she may teach His will, and cause
to ascend the humble but most ac-
cepted sacrifice.
$50 great is the influence of
sweet minded Christian woman on
those around her that it is almost
boundless. Children brought up
under such influence seldom stray
from the path that leads to Chris
tiam manhood and womanhood.

FAMILY RELIGION.

sermon at the Methodist Church
last Sunday morning was taken
from Joshua 24-l5 "But as for
me and my house, we will serve
the Lord" Brother Acuff's appli-
cation of the text made deep i'm
preston upon the writer, and we
wish that every parent in Camden
could have heard the discourse.
We regret that we can not re-
produce the sermon in full for the
benefit of our readers. We might
call it family religion, and the sub
.Ject is SO broad that much could be
said or written TO serve as a guide
to Christian parents.
The church is the best temple
for education in righteousness and
true holiness. The home is the be-
ginning of all good, and the begin
ming of all evil. The beginning
assumes the responsibility, for be-
ginning determines the end, hence
theimportanceof ghtbeginning.
Josh hua, for the sake of himself
and family, chose God and the
right. No man should assume the
responsibility for a home until he
has made this choice. Parental
authority is sacred trust commit
ted to us for the good of our chill
dren. Parental responsibility is
not transferable. God holds par
ents responsible for the religious
training of their children.
Parents can not shift or shirk
this responsibility. Parents can
not actually choose for their chill
dren, but it is easy to make our
children what we are religiously
as we'll as politically. Parents are
the potters, and the children are
the clay, that can be moulded into
vessels Of honor or dishonor.
The true Christian home is one
where father and mother are true
Christians. A Christian is one
who is Christ-like in character and
life. Christlikeness means the su-
premacy of the spirit. Children
know whether God or Mammon is
supreme in the lives of their par
ents. Religion that is made Sec
ondary matter is powerless.
Again, it is a home where the
family altar is erected. Every
home should be a sanctuary of
God; every home should be dedi-
Gated to God. Children should be
made to feel surely God is in this
place" Children born and reared
in prayerless atmosphere will
grow up to be prayerless and God
less.
Then again it is the home where
children are trained to reverence
God. Profanity is one of the
curses of the day and is growing
evil. The profanity of parents,
the vain use which they make of
the Lords name, and making reli-
gion a mere joke are responsible
in large measure for this evil.
Children should be taught that
irreyerence is a violation of the
third commandment. If children
are trained to reverence God they
will reverence His holy Sabbath,
and His holy house.
Again it is q home where chill
dren are trained for God and His
service. Hannah dedicated her
boy to God and trained him for
His service. This was her su-
preme duty and choicest privilege,
but most fathers and mothers are
too absorbed in gaining wealth, or
social distinctions, to pay mu"h at
tention to anything as important
as the moral needs and possibilities
of their children.
