The larger democracy sees in the

THE LARGER DEMOCRACY.

We use the term democracy
here not in the partisan sense but
with the larger significance which at
t.ches to it.
The larger democracy is more than
mere forms Of government. Indeed
government may be thoroughly
democratic as far as forms go, with
out containing the real elements Of
democracy.
The vital substance Of democracy
resides not in the machinery Of gov
ernment. however important that
may be in making possible the ex-
preston OF 1t. but it is something
vastly broader, deeper and higher,
akin to human brotherhood itself
which is its basis.
The larger democracy knows no
high, no low. no great or small, no
distinctions among men except those
growing out Of moral character. The
idea that an individual who happens

sort above his fellows. thereby ac-

Simpson Weaver.

A veteran minister of the Methodist
Church passed away on Saturday morn
ing at Fulton, KY, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Wagner, Interment at
cemetery at Chapel Hill Sunday after
noon, August 6, 1911.
He was 81 years old. One of the pio-
neer preachers Of West Tennessee and
Kentucky he saw the growth Of ciyili-
cation and the progress of religion and
had no small part in its propagation.
He was man OF great probity, al
ways OF digni6ed demeanor such as
should characterize true minister of
the Gospel. In the days of his prime
he was man OF strength, both Of body
and intellect. Nothing but strong
physique could stand the hardship of
an itinerant minister and if he held
the attention of the sturdy pioneer he
had to be a man of clear cut ideas and
faith. What he believed he must be-
lieve intensity and say with no hesitant
tongue.
He slept in the cabins of the poor
and lived on scant rations often, and
his rides were often forced marches.
As circumstances were altered for the
better, he Jared better, and the people
gave him the best they had
He saw thousands converted and add
ed to the church in his more than fifty
years OF service and now sleeps in peace,
honored by all. 1t was a great con-
course that gathered to do him honor.
Obsequies were held by the pastor OF
the church, Bro. Harrison, Dir. Boiling
and w. G. Sellars.
