IN MEMORY.

AT her home in Shelby county,
on the morning of July Oath, at
4:30 o'clock, Miss Helen A. He'd
den, daughter of the late Jacob
and Susan F. Hedden, passed to
her reward. Her death was the
result of sunstroke, the attack
coming Sunday morning.
Sister Helen was born August
Goth, 1850, and was therefore in
the 62nd year of her age. j. w.
Hedden, of this city; r. j. He'd
den, Misses Kate and Sue Hedden,
of Shelby county. and Mrs. E. G.
Burnett, of Louisville, survive
her. After services at the Salem
Church she was buried in the
church cemetery.
She was educated under the tu-
torship of the venerable Rev. B.
F. Hungerford, was converted
under bis ministry, baptized and
received into the church by him
and buried by him.
Sister Helen was an instructor
of rare ability, an inspiration to
young men in their efforts for the
highest educational attainments,
many of whom hold the loftiest
positions of their professions.
Strong of mind, tender of heart
and firm of convictions, it was her
mission to redeem the lost, encour-
age the doubling and strengthen
the weak. She lived for and with
Christ and when death was near,
by memory she repeated the 23rd
Psalm, THE Lord is my Shepherd,
| shall not want"-she knew the
gospel, lived and taught 1t, and
when absent from church service
and work she had cause beyond
her control; and as to church life
so she was to home and neighbors,
faithful and true.
A woman worth so much it is
hard to yield to the inevitable.
But she is not dead for her works
will continue after her, far more
real than the rymth of song in
words.

| Ply morn,
When we drift to eternity's shore2
Will dear eyes meet our own, as in day

Will we thrill at the touch of the hand

Yes we will meet to part no more,
For Jesus, whom we trust, has gone be

Chas. McKay's Criticism

In reading sermon preached by
Rev. Samuel W Purvis, D. D.. and
published in the Islander. claiming
pain to be a necessary evil, and that
to take away suffering would rob
us OF our piety. l wish to answer
this statement by my experience of
eighty years of Christ's teaching
That the reverend gentleman is not
following Christ's teaching and his
language is Injurious to humanity
In the first place, Christ came to
teach all men how to be happy and
to destroy sin and sickness. and he
healed all that came to him and told
those that he healed TO go and sin
no more, teaching them that it was
the lack of doing Gods laws that
made men sick and have pains. The
Bible says that God created all
things good and created man per
fect, and man is perfect; yet when
ne awakes from his false dream of
belief in falsehood of pains and sick
ness. the writer has proof that
there is no pain only through false

AlabaSter Boxes

The following. which goes the
rounds occasionally, is about due
in this community. The sentiment
is good; Don't keep the alabaster
boxes of your love and tenderness
sealed up until your friends are
dead. Fill their lives with sweet
ness. Speak approving, cheering
words while their ears can hear
them, and while their hearts can
be thrilled and made happier, the
kind things you meant to say when
they were gone, say before they go.
The flowers you meant to send for.
their collins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have
any alabaster boxes laid away, full
of fragrant perfumes Of sympathy
and affection, which they intend to
break over my body, would rather
they would bring them out in my
weary troublesome hours and open
them that may be refreshed and
cheered while need them. | would
rather have q plain coffin without
flower, funeral without an eul-
ogy. than a life without the sweet
ness of love and sympathy. Post
morten kindness does not cheer the
burdened spirit. Flowers OH the
coffin cast no fragrance back over
the weary way. The faults of our
brothers we write upon the sand :
their virtues upon the tablets of
love and memory

der knocked out of its socket and
other injuries, and when the doctors
set those bones ! would not allow
them to chloroform me and they set
those broken bones and ! had no
pain nor suffering, and in six weeks
the bones were healed by my know
ing and practicing Christ's teach
ings. When l believed in falsehood
of pain and sickness; l had those
pains and sickness, but since | COM
menced to practice Chrlst',s teach
ings | have proof that there is no
pain or sickness only as false belief.
and all those who know me and see
my work will see that | can shoe
large horses easier than | could
twenty-five years ago; and all those
who will stop belief in falsehood of
pain and sickness and practice
Christ's teachings of having a pure
mind and loving God and our fell
low men will never have pains or
sickness and all these blessings will
be added to you. There was man
on this island by the name of Wal
lace, and he imagined that mice
were on his body and he suffered
great pain when he thought they
were biting him. l could see that
he was getting dangerous and he
told me that he would have to COM
NIT some crime so he could go to
prison and get out of his misery.
So he was arrested and tried for in
sanity. The judge said to him:
"Mr. Wallace, what have you to
say" and Wallace said, "Well,
judge, if those mice are not on me,
| am insane, but if they are on me,
l am as sane as any of you.'' The
man was sent to the insane asylum
and died there. Now, you will find
that sickness and pain are delu-
sion or a mild form of inanity and
your remedy is to follow Christ's
teachings.

The Titanic Disaster

Every one by this time knows OF
the loss of the great steamer Titan
jc. off the coast of Nova Scotia, her
maiden trip from Queenstown to
New York. At this writing details
are not obtainable. The steamer
sank with approximately 1872 pas
sengers, only 868 being saved from
a list of 2.180. The cause is
thought to have been a submerged
icebere. Most of the survivors
were women. The name of John

lionaire merchant; Geo. B. Widener.

Butt, aide to President Taft; FrSn-
els D. Millet, the American artist:

list; Benjamin Guggenheim and

ling are among the more prominent
names missing from the list of the
saved. History records no such dis
aster on the seas as this one. 1t
again demonstrates mans utter
helplessness in times of extremity
when de aIing with nature.

Aliens to Own Property

a law permitting aliens to own
property in Washington. 1t is con-

law were passed. AS it is, the
money goes elsewhere now. There
Was time when the anti-alien law

Advocate of the Common People

Mayor Harry Ferguson, of Ho-
GUAM, once Baptist minister at
Mt. Vernon, is inclined to side
with the strikers in their efforts
to adjust hours and wage matters
in the mills of the Gray's Harbor
city. This puts him in bad favor
with the other authorities and mill
owners. He continues to do his
duty as city officer, ignoring the
dictation of any class, and at the
same tire making every effort to
straighten things out without fric-
ton. His recall is demanded by
those he refuses to obey.

Cheese---A Neglected food

One of the most common articles
of diet is cheese, and yet its value
is little appreciated by the general
public. One cannot say in fairness,
that cheese has not won favor in
this country; for an article that is
found in some quantity or other in
almost every American home and
the yearly output of which is consid-
erably over 100000. 900 pounds in
the Unired States, with a value of
nearly 100000, cannot be regard
ed as entirely unpopular. Despite
these enormous figures, there is
prevalent current belief that cheese
is prone to produce physio!ogic dis
turbances and that, as the express
sion goes, it is "hard to digest"
The nutrition experts of the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture have been investigating the
case of the American public versus
the cheese. Cheese of various
types, eaten raw or carefully cook
ed, compares favoraply with other
foods in thoroughness of digestion
in healthy mar. It does not cause
constipation or induce other physi-
ologic upsets, even when eaten in
abundance. Cheese is more than
readily digestable; it is highly nu-
tritious, comparing in this respect
with other combinations like meat,
fish and eggs; and above this, cheese
is an economical food, competing
easily with the foregoing from the
standpoint of cost and nutritive eff
fciency. If the causes for the IA
miliar indifference to cheese as a
more central feature of the diet are
sought, they probably lie in part.
according to The Journal of the
American Medical Association. in
the continued popularity of the
more expensive meat in this country
and in the fact that our housekeep-
ers lack the culinary experience
which would bring cheese into d
more prominent role on the bill of
fare.

Fifty carloads of paper, costing

Yakima valley this year in packing
fruit, according to estimates of
fruit dealers. About 400 lbs. of
paper is used in wrapping a car of
