There is more Catarrh in this section d
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. Fora great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment

stitutional cure on the market. 1t Is taken

MT. PLEASANT MOURNS
REV. LITSINCER'S DEATH
Pastor Succumbed to Ill
ness from Which He Suffered
Three Years--ResoIutions

Rev. w. j. F. Litsinger, until re-
Gently pastor of Mount Pleasant
Methodist Protestant Church, at
Pleasantville, died in Baltimore at the
home of his father-in-law, Rev. Thorn
as Lowe, on Wednesday.
Death was due to a complication of
diseases, following an illness of sew
eral years. The deceased was a MEM
Der of the New Jersey Methodist
Protestant Conference, but he was a
native of Baltimore, and when first
ordained was connected with the
Maryland Conference and had charge
of the Methodist Protestant Church at
Lawsonia, Somerset County, Mary
land.
Rev. Litsinger was the son of Mrs
Margaret and the late Augustus Lit
singer. He was 40 years old. Upon
the completion of his studies he be-
came associated with the late Rev.
William Mitchell, an evangelist of
note and with whom he toured the
country. He was later ordained as a
Methodist Protestant minister. He
served churches at Lawsonia, Nd, Os-
bornville, N. j., Friendship, N. j., and
Camden.
Several years ago he accepted a call
to Mount Pleasant Church, Pleasant
vile.
Until three years ago he had en-
joyed good health, but since then he
had steadily declined. For some time
past he had been at the home of his
father-in-law, visiting.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Rosa Lit
singer, he is survived by n son, Gil
bert, his mother, Mrs. Margaret Lit
singer, two brothers and three sisters.
The funeral will be held from the
home of Rev. Lowe in Baltimore at
2 o'clock this Saturday afternoon.
Clergymen from the New Jersey and
the Maryland Conferences will be in
attendance.
At a meeting of the Stewards of
Mount Pleasant M. P: Church, held
Thursday evening, Jan. 7th, 1915, it
was voted to send the following res
.olutions as representing the sentiment
of all the members:
Whereas, in the providence of God,
u former pastor, Rev. w. ]. F. Lit
singer, has been called to the celestial
life, after fighting a good fight for
Christ in able ministerial labors, be
it resolved:
1. That, in the decease of our bro
Their and former pastor, it is the opin-
ion of this church that the ministry
has lost an effective evangelist, the
city an exemplary citizen, the church
a devoted friend;
2. That the church desires to ex-
press herewith its appreciation of ev-
cry noble effort of this faithful broth
er in Christ, believing the seed he has
sown will bear fruit for many years;
8. That the church in this time of
keen bereavement desires to convey
its sincere sympathy to the esteemed
widow and the immediate family cir
Gle ON both sides of the house, and
does hereby tender it's warmest inter-
est and fellow-feeling, realizing that
words utter but imperfectly senti-
ments of regard and reverence; at the
same time praying that the Holy
Spirit prove an Effectual Comforter
when mans insight fails.
A. Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to Mrs. Litsinger
and that they be spread upon the min
utes of our Board.

There was no line waiting for rec

tickets from those who saw yester-
days game and who wished to turn
tbver their seats for the remaining two
