Death OF Mrs VIM. Bates

The following obituary of Mrs
VIM. Bates was contributed by Mrs
Ella Miller. of Scottsdale, Arizona,
daughter of the deceased.
Mrs Bates was for many years a
resident of this city. her husband,
the late Rev. VIM. Bates, being al
one time pastor of the Evangelical
church, and afterwards living on a
farm just East of town:
Charlotte d. Hull was born on
March II. 1882, in Clinton county,
Pa. Died Sept. II. 1913, aged 81
years, 6 months and ] day. She was
married to VIM. Bates December II,
1852.
Four children were born to them,
Hull Bates, Frank w. Bates, Mary
Lizzie Purkey and Ella Miller. She
is survived by one brother, Vim.
Hull, Mt. Gilead, Ohio; Hull Bates,
Mt. Gjlead. Ohio; Mary Lizzie Pur-
key, Tacoma, Wash. and Ella Miller
Scottsdale, Arizona.
In 1854 she gave her heart to Je.
sus In her own language, He &C.
cepted her as His child.
In 1878 she proposed Holy Sancti
ficatlon Sept 18th of that year, she
wrote: II still abide in Christ, and
He is formed within the hope of
glory" A brief diary of her life is
written for every year.
Her life IN the service of her mas
ter was a strenuous one. She spent
many years with her companion in
public mission work, from Ohio
through North and South Dakota,
holding many precious meetings in
which hundreds of souls were won
to Jesus, her Savior.
She ,ecords one instance of con.
tinuous travel. of over 400 miles by
buggy, lonely as far as human life
was concerned, but with always a
sweet consciousness of her Savior's
preSense.
According to her diary her life
vas always optimistic. She often
recorded the fact that the battle
was nearly fought.
Sister Bates was always cheerful
and thoughtful of others, and truly
we might say, Sister thou art mild
and lovely; gentle as the summer
breeze"
In her last days she often express
ed a desire to depart, and be with
loved ones on the other shores, and
well might be said of her, Blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord
from henceforth and yea saith the
Spirit, they do rest from their la
bors, and their works do follow
them"
Mother Bates had a simple child
like faith in he SAVIOR. A sketch of
her religious life is briefly given
in her diary, from the time she en-
braced the Christian faith, until she
went away.
Mother never was strong physical
ly. When sickness came she always
relied upon her Savior for strength
and guidance. having a very vivid
realization of the spiritual life be-
yond.
In her hours of need she would ap-
peal to the Promises: In the time
of old age forsake me not, when my
strength faileth; but | will hope con.
tinually. and vet praise thee more
and more"
In 1909. in contemplating a trip to
Tacoma, she wrote, Il trust the Lord
to help me through to my journeys

MILLER VS..
FAULkTON
Local Squad Wins First Game OF
Season

The football season was ushered in
in good earnest on the local grounds
when the Miller High School defeat
ed the FauIkton High School by a
score of AZ to 0 last Saturday.
The Faulkton Capt, won the toss
and chose the north goal because of
very strong wind blowing from the
north.
The game was started by Schroed-
er kicking the ball from the forty
yard line into the Faulkton territory.
Faulkton secured the ball which was
put in play by a scrlmmage. The
first few minutes looked rather
doubtful for many Of the Miller
PLAYERS were new men and were so
ratified that they scarcely knew
where to line up on the line of scrim-
mage. and Faulkton slowly but sure
ly advanced toward the Miller goal
in large gains. During one of these
scrimmages. the Faulkton players
fumbled the ball and Spain who was
playing end for Miller, picked up
che ball and made a sixty-five yard
run for a touchdown. All eyes were
turned on Spain as he sped down the
line with the ball held nicely under
his arm. This seemed to give all
our PLAYERS more confidence and the
tide was turned. After this, Miller
gradually forced the Faulkton team
backward scoring on them several
times. After the first furry of ex-
element. the Miller boys played a
good consistent game and showed
good head work.
The second touchdown was made
for Miller by Schroeder who sig
nailed for a fake play and then fore
ed his way through the strong line
of the Faulkton team. The next
touchdowns were made by Carroll
and Kenyon by end runs, after
which Schroeder made three more
touchdowns. On account of the
strong wind, but one goal was kick
ed by Miller. This left the final
score AZ to o..
A great many weak plays were
shown on both sides, but our boys
are out every night after school en-
deavorlng to remedy these. and feel
confident of putting up a much bet
ter game next Saturday when the
RedfieId High School will meet us
on the local gridiron.
The Miller PLAYERS en- the line
showed good judgment and are de-
serving of a great deal of credit.
Their work cannot show off as well
as the work of those in the back
field but a great many of u points
were made last Saturday by hard
line smashes.
Come out next Saturday AMI see
the big game with RedfieId and
don't forget to give us a cheer.
Redfeld is a much larger town than
Miller. but we are going to try to
win the game.
October 4th the Miller team will
will play the Huron team at Huron,
and Is trying to get Pierre to play
us here on Thanksgiving.
