Death of Mrs. d. E. Lanham.

During the past twelve mo tbs
the Ropers community has been
sorely stricken. Several homes have
been visited by the death angel. The
last to have a dark shadow cast
across its threshold was that of Mr..
D. e. Lanham. His beloved wife
breathed her last Saturday, October
IS, and her form was tenderly laid
to rest on the following day at Re,
publican church, the funeral being
conducted by her pastor, Rev. ]. 7.
Littlejohn. Mrs. Lanham had been
in feeble health for long while but
she bore up bravely under the aflic-
tion.
This sorrow weighs heavily upon
her loved ones, but the home over
which this good woman held queen.
ly sway for 80 many years was
Christian home and the members of
the family circle who are left are
resigned to His will and have the
assurance that she has received the
reward prepared for those who are
faithful during their earthly proba-
tion. While the slender form of
Mrs. Lanham will be seen no more
:as when she moved in and out of
the home and community, yet che
will live on and on in the lives of
her seven exemplary children who
are an honor to their parents. She
was not only blessing to her home
and community but to her church
also. Her influence was always in-
spring, ennobling, uplifting. Just
why 30 devoted wife and mother,
so active and unselfish a Christian
worker should be taken before her
life reached its fullest fruition the
finite mind can not understand. But
we shall know at that day.
Mrs. Lanham is survived by her
husband, four daughters, Misses
Emmie, Lila, Minnie end Grace
Lanham,and three sons. Ioseph, Ben
ME and Fred Lsnham.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medi-
cine.

If you want to contribute direct
ly to the occurrence of capillary
bronchitis and pneumonia use cough
medicines that contain codine, NOR
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have cough or cold. An
e1pectorant like Chsmberlain's
cough remedy is what lis needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneun onia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never re-
suits from q cold when Chamber
lain's cough remedy is used. 1t has
a world wide reputation for its
cures. It contains no morphine or
other sedative. For sale by all deal
ers.

L|NCOLN's OPINION OF
ANT|-CATHOu|C BIGOTS

1t is interesting to know what Presi-
dent Lincoln thought of the A. P. AS
of his time. In volume entitled RE.
collections of Abraham Lincoln" the
author, Ward H. Lamon, quotes let
ter written by Abraham Lincoln in
1856 to Joshua F. Speed, an old friend,
in which he says:
you inquire where | now stand.
That is disputed point. l think |
am a Wing; but others say there are
no Wings, and that | am an Adolf
zionist. l am not Know-Nothing
that is certain. How could l be?
How can any one who abhors the op-
preston of negroes be in favor of de-
grading classes of white people? Our
progress in degeneracy appears to me
to be pretty rapid. AS a Nation We,
began by declaring that: All men are
created equal We now practically
read it: All men are created equal
except negroes, When the Know-Noth-
ings get control it will read: All
men are created equal, except negroes
and foreigners, and Catholics When
it comes to this, | should prefer emf
grating to some country where they
make no pretence of loving liberty
where despotism can be taken pure,
and without the base alloy of hypoc-
risy."
During the campaign last fall cir
cular was scattered broadcast by the
so-called Guardians of Liberty which
contained a quotation purperting to
be a statement made by President
Lincoln in which he declared that the
Catholic Church was menace to this
country
AS soon as this letter reached the
officers of the American Federation of
Catholic Societies it was sent to Mr..
Robert Lincoln, son of President
Lincoln, who wrote as follows to Mr..
Anthony Matre, Secretary of the Fed
Grafton:
Manchester, VT, Nov. 4, 1912.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your inquiry
respecting the authenticity of an al
legged quotation of my father in an
Catholic circular enclosed by
you: l never before heard of it or
any thing like it. An examination
of indexes to his papers and letters
discloses no authority for it and |
have no doubt that it is a simple
invention from beginning to end. It
is quite impossible that its author
could also be the author of letter
to Archbishop Hughes written by my
father requesting the suggestion of
persons of the Catholic Church for
appointment as chaplains in the army
You can see this letter on page of
VOL VII of the new edition of "Com-
plete Works of Abraham Lincoln, !"
published by the Francis A. Tandy
Company New York; about 1905.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT LINCOLN.

THE APOSTLE OF THE GRETANs
ST. TITUS WHO EvANGELIzED
CRETE WAS BURIED IN THE
CATHEDRAL OF GoRTYNA, NOW
A RUIN.

The Turkish flag was hauled down
everywhere in Crete about week or
so after the Universal Church had
been celebrating the feast day of the
patron of the island, st. Titus. He
was not indeed the first to preach
the Faith there, for st. Paul had pre-
coded him, but the great Apostle of
the Gentiles chose him to continue
the work, and in consequence he has
always been regarded as it's apostle.
The field was not pleasant one, for
st. Paul himself speaks of the Gre
tans in the harshest terms. zone of
them," he says, "a prophet of their
own describes them as always
liars, evil beasts and slothful bellies"
and he adds, this testimony is true. :"
Possibly this applies chiefly to the
pagans, but many of the Jews living
on the island were denounced by him
as "disobedient, vain takers, and Sc
ducers," and Titus is hidden to re
buke them sharply that they may be
sound in the faith"
st. Titus spent the greater part of
his life in evangelizing Crete. He
was considerably over ninety years
of age when he died, and his body
was kept with great generation in the
cathedral of Gortyna, which was then
the metropolis of the island. 1t was
six miles from the famous Mount
Ida, from which flowed the Sea-
mander, the Simois, the Granicus and
other streams familiar to classical
students. From the lofty summit,
which rose 5000 feet above the sea,
the Hellespont, the Propontis and
the whole surrounding country could
be seen. 1t was there that Paris is
said to have pronounced his judg-
ment about the beauty of the three
goddesses.
Gortyna is now ruin, for the
Saracens levelled it to the earth in
1923, and most of the relics of the
saint were scattered to the winds.
His head, however, had been previ-
ously carried to Venice and is ven
Grated in the ducal basilica of st.
Mark But his name was given to the
cathedral that was subsequently built
in Gambia, a city established by the
Saracens in the ninth century, seven
teen miles from the ancient Gortyna.
Crete is a large island, far out in
the Mediterranean, standing clear of
the smaller ones of the Archipelago.
1t is south of Greece, and between it
and Turkey in Asia is the famous
Rhodes of the Crusaders. 1t has had
a wonderful and stirring history. It's
ancient name was Idaca, but the
Turks called it Kired or Icriti; from
which comes the present appellation
of Crete. 1t is $50 miles long and
from to 35 miles wide. Counting the
adjacent islands that belong to it, its
area is 1927 square miles.
