DR.. John A. Orr died October oath,
1915.
How strange to us the Providence
That takes away u friend.
That life SO full of promise
So suddenly should end! &
True, many useful years he spent
In serving God and man,
But still we're 10th to give him up,
Gods work we can not scan.
A mar whom everybody loved,
His friends were black and white,
Because a kind and friendly man
Who always did the right.
He loved his church most ardently,
He was his preachers friend,
The wants and needs of each to meet,
He did his money spend.
Thank God for Such a man as this,
Noble and true-God-given!
Having finished we'll his work on earth
Gods taken him to heaven.

THE MURDER OF MISS cAvELL

The murder by the German
military authorities of Miss Cavell
an English nurse at the head of
a hospital in Brussels, is the most
horrible of the crimes committed
by the Germans since the Eur
opean war began.
Miss Cavell was not charged
with a capital offense under nc
code of civilized warfare, her
only offense being aiding pris-
oners of the allies armies to
escape from their German cap
tors. She admitted her guilt be-
fore the court martial that tried
her. The sentence after she was
declared guilty was fixed at death
and before the American repre-
sentative could plead for the UNI
fortunate woman she was shot to
death,
The story of her murder will
be one Of the darkest pages of
the history of the war. March
ing resolutely to the station to
be shot by the guard, her strength
failed her and the officer in
charge deliberately fired a pistol
ball through the brains Of the
PROSTATE woman. Strange to
say the German authorities de-
fend this cruel, wanton destruc-
ton of a helpless woman. When
such crimes are reported the
world stands aghast and the
question is asked, how far have
we progressed in the christian
civilization of which we boast?
Cannibalism is but a step re-
moved from this shocking crime
and although we have lost all
respect for the German and his
cause on account of his cruelty,
yet, we regret that it is necessary
to add this horror to the list of
deplorable crime committed by
the German army since this cruel
war began.
How can such a murder find a
defender?

They will love him beyond this
vale Of tears. | have been with
him in sickness, both my own
and his, and in sorrow and in
death, and always and ever he

You indeed felt at home and
where>you wished to linger long.
He made you easy when you
came and as long as you re-
remained, and sent a blessing
with you as you went from him.
His social qualities were of the
best, because of the simple, kind
ly gentle character. You looked
into his face and at once realized
you were in the presence of an
honest man. No cry Of distress
ever came to him without help.
In his young manhood he at
tached himself to the Cumberland
PRESBYTERIAN church and remain
ed a member of that church until
it and the Presbyterian church
u. S. A. united, and ever after
ward till his death he was a
faithful member of the latter de-
nomination. In his religious life
he was quiet and timid. He was
not gifted in speech and no pub
lie speaker, but his life in its
every day fullness of love and
good deeds and kindly helpful
ness make the monument by
which he will be remembered.
| have been in his home for
weeks at a time, both during the
lifetime of his first and second
wife, and in all that time | never
heard him use a harsh expression
to any one, and | think | may
also truthfully say that in all my
association with him | never
heard him speak an unkind word
of anyone, living or dead. He
loved his profession dearly, aud
however tired and worn he might
be, day or night, if another call
came just as he was preparing to
rest, he attended the call with
out a murmur or complaint.
He leaves a loving wife and
one sister and four brothers and
several nephews and nieces to
mourn his loss. and the whole
community is in tears.
Gentle reader, if you would
leave a monument of love in the
hearts of the people when you

gentle, kindly spirit and come
into some other life with a touch
Of love.
