LOCAL MINISTER
IS An INVENTOR
REV. JONATHAN LEE HAS IDEA TO
REPLACE THE COMMON
CASkET.

Rev. Jonathan Lee, pastor of the
South Side Baptist church has recently
invented what he terms burial
couchette, to take the place of the
coffin now in common use. The article
is made entirely of wood, and resem-
bles crib, being open at the sides ex-
cept for wooden rods or spindles. The
couchette may be upholstered in any
material to suit the taste or the purse
of the buyer, and also made Of any
wood, from the cheapest to the most
costly. No lid is provided, the only
covering being a cloth which is drawn
over the top and hooked around the
edge, and one of the advantages that
the inventor claims for his idea is that
Just as much Of the remains may be
left uncovered to view as is desired.
Mr.. Lee has striven for simplicity in
it's construction, and straight lines are
used throughout in the design, with

HENRY co. PROPERTY
VALUE is $1,430,155

Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 31.-According to
the figures just compiled by the county
auditor, the property valuation for
Henry county has increased in the past
year, $1,430,1555 which raises the tax
able valuation to $7,133,393 as opposed
to $5,703,237 in 1912. The total amount
of taxes to be collected reaches the
neat sum of 1851 ,861.86 or fiat in
crease of $4,000 over the preceding
year. The most noted increase is in
the levy for bridges, roads, school and
the state. The state levy has been
increased by one mill, which coupled
with the increased valuation raises
that single item to $34,953 as opposed
to $22,242 in 1912 1t is estimated that
the farm valuations has increased 81
per cent and town property 10 per
cent.

A LONELY LEADERS, LESSON.
The international Sunday School Les
son for January q is "Jesus and the
Children" Mark 9:30-41; 10: 1916.

What terrible loneliness!" cried
Carlyle, after meeting Queen Vic
toria. A recent student of President
Wilson's character and work made
the same observation. The truth is
as old as the existence of great men
in great places; Kipling presents 1t
wildly in the poem of diego Val
dez, Lord High Admiral of Spain"
Our present Sunday school lesson,
the first in the years series of the
Life of Christ, sets it forth graphic
ally and rather tragically.
Every observant person must have
been struck by the spectacle Of a
gleat president, engrossed with vast
concerns of patriotism in a critical
era, having to give his time and
thought to filling multitude OF
small offices, and being torn by the
chorus of contending aspirants.
Psuedo-great men, in like case, have
spurned the hungry horde, with
nlaledictions upon their smallness and
sordidness.
Not so the greatest. To be patient
with petty people, to acquire their
viewpoint, to accept them as they are,
and gradually to help them to become
what they ought to be-that is the
Jesus way, as set forth in this lesson.
It is the program of the true great
ness, which is forever tinged with the
compassionate father spirit.
When You Are Not Understood.
Strong men do not often pour out
their souls, in search Of sympathy. To
share the burden of one's/spirit with a
sympathetic friend is, at some time or
other, the desire of everybody. And
that is one Office of friendship. So
Jesus, after the TRANSPORTATION, opened
the f1oodgates of his innermost being
to the little group closest to him. They
were his dearest friends, his intimates.
Who would deny him this boon OF
friendship, the confessional of COM
radeship? Therefore he unveiled to
them the vision that ever before his
own eyes, of Gethsemane, the judge.
ment hall, Golgotha aid the tomb. This
was his passion, the supreme and en-
crossing concern of his life. He must
share it with his friends, for his own
sake and for theirs. The very deeps
CT that great soul were opened up to
the vision of the twelve.
But they did not understand! This
was, indeed, treading the wine-press
alone, in EXTREMIST degree, then was
repeated the experince of all great
spirits, when they speak on one plane
and are interpreted OH another; when
the finest that is in them is received
in the coarsest fashion. Nothing is
commoner than this experience of be-
ing misunderstood. There is no need
to consider ones self a martyr because
of it. Jesus, like all who have fol
lowed in his train, plumbed the depths

and our joys may not be permitted to
eclipse our neighbours needs. Nothing
can be an excuse for forgetting other
people. They are not to be ignored,
and they are to be taken as they are.
.. The SquabbIing Saints.
If in all Capernaum that day there
was any really good society, any
spiritual perception, any Christ-like-
ness, we surely would expect to find it
among the twelve. Their leaders were
still under the spell of the transfigura-
ton. All of them had heard the agon-
lied self-revelation of their leader, as
he had talked of his approaching death
and resurrection. He turned to them
for sympathy-and found them SQUAD
There are few scenes in the New Tes-
lament more tragic than this.
A Prescription For Success.
Nothing is more needed in demo.
cracy than these same ideals of Jesus.
His counsel is fundamental: IF any
man would be first, he shall be X
servant to ALL" There we have the
soundest advice upon success" ever
given That teaching works. In fact
like all the other truths he sets forth,
Jesus embodied this in his own life
before he put it into words. He prov.
ed it.
That door is open to everybody
There is literally nobody who cannot
serve. We may lift lame dogs over
stiles"-and get after those who lame
them. We may remove banana peels
from the sidewalk, and help keep folks
from throwing them there. There are
always the hungry Of body and spirit
to be fed. I know man who always
gives an extra penny to the newsboy
and another who is careful to write
letters of coincidence. For person
with a passion for service every day is
full of glorious opportunities. Never
mind about recognition: that was the
microbe that troubled the twelve. Just
ted by Jesus, and hallowed by his own
footsteps.
Do we seriously mean that Jesus
here laid down a program for life?
Nothing less than that. He counsels
his friends to be "the servants of all.
But surely he does not mean that we
are to serve the proud, the undeserv.
ing, and the unappreciative? God is
kind to the evil and the unthankful.'
What people think and say does not
affect the truth which Jesus has indi
Gated, that all who follow him should
serve and serve and serve-and die to
serve if opportunity offers.
Too Much Powder and Paint.
One who travels extensively notes
that there seems to be altogether too
much powder and paint used on WON
ems faces; too much dining at restaur'
ants and too little hospitality in
homes: too much attention to clothes
and too little to raising children too
much "smartness'' and "up-to-date,
ness and two little regard for the
old-fashioned conventions, such as the
sancity of the ten commandments, fol-
instance. In word, there is too little
