Mrs. MARY COOLEY.

The subject OF this sketch was born
May 5th, 1928, and died December
3Ist, 1909, at the home of Eer only
living child, Mrs Henry Brown, with
whom she has been living for quite
while, being only a short distance
from the old homestead where she
was born. She lived to the age of
81 years, 6 months and Z days She
was the daughter of the late Judge
James S. Ball. At an early age
she joined the Southern Methodist
Church in which she remained until
Ler death. She was Married to Rob
ert Cooley, with whom she lived as
helpful and true heIpmeet until his
death which took place just 25 years
ago. 1t seems wonderful that both
she and her husband should have
been destined to be laid to rest ut the
very beginning Of the new wear She
leaves behind d number of grand
children and great grandchildren.
Aunt Mary lived good quiet chris
tan life Taught by the Bible, lei
by the Spirit, she walked the Heaven
ly way. At her death she CAV
testimony of her faith in Christ. She
was conscious to the last and seemed
to rejoice in the thought that she
would soon be with her Saviour and
loved ones who had already reached
the other shore. Sometimes laugh
ing and sometimes repeating a verse
of scripture or familiar hymn, then
making GESTURES with her hands as if
shaking hands with friends or loved
ones calling some of them by name,
she drew her last breath and life S
battles was over.
Looking back over such u pure
christian life as this for an example
can we not say:
Sacred wisdom be my guide
Suffer not my feet to side
I or from thine all perfect way
In the path OF sin to stray
Let those who sometimes loose
heart and are tempted to throw down
their weapons of warfare and surren-
der to the enemy, remember that the
fight will soon be DER.
Weary ones whose footsteps falter
Meath the croas so hard to bear,
After all life's toll and conflicts
You victols crown shall wear"
The funeral service was ably con-
Quoted by by Isev's. 7. d. Westerfield

EDITORIAL

Being exactly candid with ones
self is a state of mind which a friend
of ours spoke of in a discussion one
time, that struck us at the time as a
text for a wrought out sermon
cite. How many of US are willing to
examine our own motives for every
line of behavior and confess to our
selves the selfish the insincere or
contemplate spirit that turks behind
when we present quite different
front to the world. Its easy for a
man to persuade himself that he is a
lots better fellow than he is and to
ascrib6 his actions to exalted aspira
tions when perhaps more often the
reverse would be lots nearer the
truth.

The Postal Saving Bank Bill bids
fair to become a law before the pres
ent Congress adjOurns, as its well on
the way Of the Legislative route.
That is a measure of such tremen
diOus beneticience to this country as
TO soar above party lines. OF course
under a Republican administration
and congress we may expect it to be
cOIored with the 2. 0. p. brand, but
the scheme as a whole so strongly
appeals to the common class of poo
pie as a means to encourage them
into the saving habit, that we can
possibly accept it for the present
with some defects trusting to our
Democratic representation to stand
guard and get rs much of that elm
mated as possible, and hoping to see
the bill have more of it weeded out
under the process of time and 4 pos
sibe Democratic power period later
on.

Not every political exigency is met
by the Man Of the Hour The
opportunity is more often siezed
upon by SON" mere opportunist and
converted to his purely self aggran-
dizement. Trying situations in so,
ciety will develop great spirits, but
the condition must grow acute
enough that some such Great Heart
will come to the front. In lots of in
stances we are too quick to recognize
a savior of the country, and get in
reality but another cunning politi-
clan The present lack Of better
man often affords the Open Sesame
to these Mere OppOrtunists' class
of fellows. The responsibilities thrust
on them in a feH instances have
moulded them into great men, but its
a big risk to open the political door
to man whose chief commentator
for public trust as an overWeening
ambition to pat his snout in the pub
lie trough; the bigger percentage of
them develop the wrong way.

DR.. Lo1is Klopsch, the proprietary
editor of the Christian Herald of
New York has been called up higher.
He passed from earthly to everast-
ing habitations on March 9TH, 1910,
succumbing to a stomach trouble for
which he was operated upon d few
days before Had DR.. KIopsch done
nothing else other than the making
possible for the late Dr. Talmadge
the broad Instrumentation of his SER
mons and editorial opinions through
the medium of his publications he
would have contributed far more
than is possible for but few men to
do to the good of the world, But
DR. Klopsch had distinct individual
work to do himself that was not
to be merely as the vehicle for some
other mau. His christian charities
and writings have won for his peri
odical the title of the Almoner of
America. He enjoyed the gift of
stirring others up to a love of Civ
ing by example and precept. Crown
ed heads have delighted to give him
audience and honor him by medals
etc. Of the men of whom it can be
said they blessed this present gen
GRAFTON few if any have exceeded
KiOpsch. His name may not be
writ as high to posterity as Car
negie and Rockefeller, but it will be
in Heaven.

FAREWELL NIGHT
FOR EVANGELIST
Meetings at the First Baptist Church
Which Have Been Conducted
by c. E. Hills, Came
to an End
700 PEOPLE PRESENT
Three Addresses Were Given on Sun
day and the Evangelist Has
Gone From Here to
Ohio.
700 PEOPLE PRESENT

The auditorium of the First Bap-
about 700 people being present at the
farewell service to hear Evangelist
G. E. Hills 1t was a service that
will long be remembered. Dr. Hills
thanked in very profuse manner,
the press of the city for their very
great kindness in giving so much
space to the work of the campaign
and said that every home in Keokut
ought to be taking one of these daily
papers and ii there are some present
tonight who are not taking them they
ought to subscribe Immediately. Sup
port the press of your city by every
home receiving the papers.
Dr. Hills then thanked all who had
helped in every way in the meetings.
The program last night was most
before Evangelist Hills got started
on his sermon. A very beautiful duet
was rendered by Mn and Mrs. Laub-
ersheimer and was highly appreciated
by the great audience.
Mrs. Hills favored the audience
with solo entitled THE Sparrow, .
which was rendered in the most beau
tiful manner which captfvated all
present.
A mixed quartet also rendered a
very pleasing selection.
Evangelist Hills spoke three times
yesterday, in the morning at 1915,
in the afternoon at 2:30 to men only
and then in the evening at 7:30.
The mems meeting was splendid
meeting in every way
The freewill offering was taken for
the evangelist at the morning and
evening services.
Evangelist G. e. Hills and Mrs.
Hills have won large place in the
hearts of the members of the First
Baptist church and the people of
Keokuk in general.
The sane methods and thorough
work of Evangelist Hills commends
itself to everybody. His loyalty to
| the Word Of God and his faithfulness
to men makes him real helper to
the pastor Without fear or favor he
breaches the word. The church under
his able preaching was greatly re.
vived and strengthened and the i'm.
saved saved
Mrs. Hills has had charge of the
