 The funeral of Henry A. Gallup was solemnized at his late home in Ledyard at l o'clock on Thursday friends be- ing present from Norwich, MontvilIe, Stoningtonu, Mystic, Moosup and other places. The large attendance of friends and neighbors testified to the esteem and respect in which MT. Gal lup was held. Rev. N. B. P rindle, pastor of the Baptist church of Pres ton City, conducted the services, and a quartette consisting of MT. and Mrs. Russell Gallup, Mrs. Enos Gray and Rev. MT. Prindle, sang two hymns, Sometime We'll Understand and Look ing This Way. The floral offerings were beautiful, especially those in- scribed husband, father, brother. The bearers consisted of the son and sons in-law of the deceased. The remains were taken to Elm G rove cemetery for burial. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and five children, Mrs. Robert $. Chapel of Montville, Mrs. John B. Williams of Old Mystic, Mrs. Frank B. Bushnell of Norwich Town, Charles H. Gallup and Mrs. Joseph D Austin of Norwich. Besides these he leaves his grandchildren and an only sister, Mrs. Royal w. BcCracken of Mystic
 Henry A. Gallup was born in the Gallup homestead in Ledyard, Nov. IS,
 
 were born to Capt. Ebenezer and An gelina (Stanton) Gallup. The place of his birth has been in the Gallup family until recently, ever since the Indians laid claim to the land. MT. Gallup's boyhood days were spent here and early in life he married Phebe, daugh- ter of Rev. Stephen A. Peckham of Ledyard. by whom five children were born to him. He was by occupation a farmer. having lived on Varoius farms in Ledyard, Salem, Preston, Norwich, Sprague and IaiSbon. After some years he returned to his native place as su- perintendent of the Ledyard town farm, a place which he, with his es- timable wife, filled to the apparent sat- isfaction of all. They were especially loved by the unfortunate inmates of the house. After nine years spent here he purchased the Sands Gallup place. in the western part of Ledyard, which he sold last spring, buying the Charles Lenscher farm, where he re- moved his family and at once began making extensive repairs upon the house. He served as tax collector for the town of Ledyard for a term of years and also served as grand juror for that town. MT. Gallup was pos sessed of many good qualities. His word was as good as his bond. If MT. Gallup said he would do a thing it was just as good as done in the opinion of his fellow townsmen. His ancestry dated back to John and Priscilla AL den, of Mayfiower memory. He was also descended from Capt. John Gallup, Thomas Stanton. Maj John Mason and Capt. George Denison.

BREACHES SERMON ON
 THE KINGS WORKMAN.
Rev. w. T. Thayer Welcomed by Large Congregation on Return from Vaca- ton.

Rev. W. T. Thayer pastor of the First Baptist church, was warmly well comed by his church Sunday on his return from his summer vacation. MT. Thayer preached an excellent sermon Sunday morning. taking as his theme The Kings Workman, based on Psalm 45, the first verse "I speak the things which l have made touching the king He said in part: This verse Is gem whose beauty is dimmed by the work man. It is confessedly a numbering translation. We must interpret the English as well as translate the He- brew. The marginal rendering intro daces the thought more clearly: T speak; my work is for a king This is worthy motto for a Christian It is worthy slogan for a church. eX- pressing g relationship. heralding mission, defining a motive. This mo- tive runs deep. It is mere chan an ambition. it is a consecration. It is nos the incentive thai sends th1 Marathon runner on a task such as no beast is asked to perform but the motive that calls the WhittemOres children of for ture, heirs of pleasure, from the house of affidence that they may establish half hundred homes of refuge The Door of Hope" Ambition is personal, selfish. Conservation is altrulstic, sac rificiaL And it is well to ask ourselves now and then whether our Christian service is an ambition or a consccrd '. tion; is it that I may gain heaven thereby or that the world may come to know Him. fellowship with whom constitutes heaven? The Christian lie is more than a fife patterned after Christ; it is a life for Him ''For me to i've is Christ" How may we know? Pride is ever the companlon of ambi- tion, and humility alone goes hand in hand with consecration.
 The church needs to keep the motive clearly in view, and only by standing on the mountain of such conception My work is for a king" can we see the motive. To go down to the valley of lower ideal means the intervention of the horizon. Phidippides. having hurried to Athens to herald the news of victory. Patriotic ferVor animated his body and patriotic joy hastened his step. Today we revive the miles, but the purpose is dead. It is easy to lower our ideal For the great ma jority Christian work is niOnotOnous. The service becomes automatic. It is our custom. We attend the prayer meeting for the same reason we pat ronize the church supper. To support the church is our ohjecc in both. This is the tendency and we need the glad proclamation My work Is for a king These may be the means by which the church. will achieve her mission, her. alcing the gospel of Christ. winning the world for Him. in d word. Christlil-e- ness; but it is cnly by realizing our great mission that we may transform the performance of the mono tonous in- to the achievement of the eternal. Christ says: Fear not. little flock: it is the Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom" The issue is not uncertain. the triumph is divine though our appointed task is menial. Let us rejoice for our work is for a king and we can do all things through Christ that strengtheneth us.
