Hero w Worship.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Hero worship is Unborn in man. 1t be-
gan with the beginning of the human
race, and will end only with its finish.
AS Carlyle once put it: 1T is the joy
of mans heart to admire where he can
nothing SO lifts him from all his mean
imprisonments We're it only for moments.
as true admiration Nor is it only the
great and good who admire what Is really
admirab BILE. Even the vicious respect in
others the fine qualities which they them
selves lack. In fact. hypocrisy itself
is but the tribute which vice pays to
virtue. Deprived Of the genuine article.
the hypocrite takes unto himself the
counterfeit; assuming or aping the noble
traits which command the respect Of
thinking men.
Since the world has ever had. and ever
will have, it's heroes or ideals, clearly it
is of prime Importance that 1t have none
but the very best placed before It. Truly
worthy heroes and ideals are among the
worlds most prolific sources Of great
deeds. 1t goes without saying that the
example OF generals like Napoleon and
our own Washington served, as well as
any other one cause. to spur on their
men TO feats of valor when the arny's
courage was on the point of failing. And.
not to enter into too many. details, the

Obituary.

In loving remembrance of Media
Himenia Davis (nee) Beamer, be.
loved daughter of G. A. and Mag
gle Beamer, departed this life Jan.
2lst, 1909, aged 81 years.
She joined the Presbyterian
church at the age of 10, and later
joined the Baptist church. She was
a faithful follower of the Master
and died as she had lived, loved and
beloved by all who knew her.
A beautiful example of the great
respect for her was manifest at the
last sad parting, by bowed head and
streaming eyes, which told more
words of the love everyone bore fol-
her.
With her last breath she spoke
comforting words to her heartbrok
en- friends and relatives, and hei
dearest wish was for them to nee
her in heaven.
Through her earth lost one of it
sweetest flowers and Heaven ha
gained the purest gem.
But we weep not as those withou
hope, for she has surely gone to he
great reward.
There will be stars in her crown
On this we can rely;
And we hope TO clasp her hand,
Where they never say goodbye.
