DIR. Z. Il. PEARCE
BELOVED PASTOR and EDU-
GATOR, PASSES AWAY
At His Late Home In DanvilIe.

After an illness of only a few days
of pneumonia. DR.. Eugene H. Pearce,
former paster of the Methodist church
in Lancaster and one of the leading and
best loved citizens of the state, Gied at
his late residence on Lexington avenue,
in Danville Saturday afternoon at 4;30
o'clock in the seventy second year of
his age.
DR.. Pearce was born in the northern
part of Kentucky and received his edu-
cation in the colleges of this State and
Ohio. He was graduated in law and
practlced several years, but feeling a
call to the ministry, took up the study
of theology at Drew Seminary. An in
cident at the time he was debating en-
tering the ministry was visit to the
home of Gen. w. T. Sherman, then in
Washington. The old warrior, when
told by the young man the undecided
condition of his mind, asked; "''Have
you marching order from the Great
Commander" Assured that he believed
he had such an order, Then, said the
General, ''stick to it,. He entered the
the service of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and served churches at
Versailles, Danville (where he built the
handsome Centenary Methodist church,
Somerset, Lancaster and was last
stationed at Lawrenceburg.
About 1855 DR.. Pearce was made
President of Kentucky Wesleyan Col
lege at Winchester, continuing there
for number of years and then re-
turning to the ministry. He was in
England as a delegate to the Worlds
Ecumenical Congress when President
Mckinley was assassinated, where he
was invited to deliver memorial ad-
dresses to English audiences.
His life as a minister was filled with
good work, and his pastorates knew no
relaxation in energy and accomplish
ment.
Perhaps the first work for llliterates
ever done in our county was that of DR..
Pearce who organized class of six
teen adults in the Hubble neighborhood
and taught them to read and write.
DR.. Pearce was d man of unusual
scholarship and appreciated educational
advantages and worked constantly for
the upbuilding of any community in
which he was placed.
A large circle of warmly attached
friends in Lancaster and the surround
ing country will be grieved because
they will be no more permitted to grasp
his friendly hand or enjoy his COM
partnership and rare social qualities.

corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth

the wonderful remedies that are so
rapidly accomplishing great good for
Birmingham people, and to get free

He was seen yesterday and in reply
to the question. us your prescription
for catarrh?" said:
Andes Great Prescription is the
grandest discovery of the age for that
very prevalent. but fatal disease Ca
tarrh. l say fatal, but not necessarily
so, if taken in time. Catarrh is the east
est thing in the world to cure, but one
is apt to procrastinate, to put off, you
know, by saying, "Oh have only TAX
en- slight cold; l will be all right in a
few days. You notice the clearing of
the throat and continually barking and
expectorating mucous that dcops con-
stantly. But how about when asleep?
This dripping continues just the same,
and passes down through the bronchial
tubes to the stomach, causing Catarrh
of the stomach. with its many distress
ing symptoms both of stomach and in
testines. But what about it If it goes
to the lungs? l shudder to think of it.
Consumption, that great white plague,
of which you newspaper men tell us
$50, 900 people died last year in this
country alone. Yes, Andes Great
Prescription cures Catarrh, and | am
very proud of the message l carry to
every citizen of Birmingham. 1t is a
god-send to everv home"

The glad holiday seasons approaching.
The time when every child in this
broad land of ours will expect a visit
from "OId Santa, and in our own es-
pecially blessed country the majority
of them will receive it. However, in
other countries the little ones, and their
elders are not so fortunate; not only
will they miss the customary visit of
their patron, but they are suffering for
the actual necessities of life.
Europe is devastated by war, such as
the world has never known before, and
the consequent suffering is unpreced-
ented. In Belgium is the suffering es-
peciallY severe, and the more deplor-
able because of the fact that their con-
ditlon is unavoidable in so far as they
We're concerned. Belgium stood prac-
tically between the devil and the deep
blue sea-; she was condemned if she
did and condemned if she didn't.
Choosing the lesser horn of the diem
ma. as she saw it; she cast her lot
with the allies, and in consequence is
now suffering all the horrors of a coun-
try devastated by the horrors of war.
Her fertile fields laid waste, her towns
and cities laid waste, her industries,
some of the greatest In the world, idle
and many of them totally destroyed,
and her people driven from home and
country, dependant wholly upon the
charity of the civilized world, her con-
dition is indeed deplorable and should
appeal to the hearts of every christian
Individual in the world.
In the midst of our holiday festivities
let us remember poor poverty stricken
Belgium, and also His words, that ii
lis better to give than to receive" land
to give from our abundance to the re-
lief of those less fortunate. Let us
remember that the curtailing of our
own horn of plenty by even ever SC
little, will suffice to provide the actual
necessities of life for some unfortunate
child in this most unhappy and unfor-
tunate country.
