The following sketch of our vener-
able townsman, George w. Harlan,
was written by Rev. Warner H. Du-
Bose, until recently pastor of the
Pennington Presbyterian Church, and
published in the Christian Observer of
October A, 1916. We are sure his
many friends among the readers of
The Times, will be pleased to read it:
Potosi Presbytery has the unique
honor of having for its Stated Clerk
a man who is ninety-two years old.
AS far as | know this record is with
out parallel in American Presbyterian
ism. Rev. George W. Harlan of
Pennington, Mo-, who is stated clerk,
is not hindered by his venerable age
from the active discharge of his du-
ties.
At a recent meeting of Potosi Pres
bytery, Mr.. Harlan passed his ninety
second milestone. 1t was memoir

years he has attended ninety-two reg.

Mr.. Harlan has always been Keen

At different times he was principal
of the Usage Academy, the Pleasant
Hill Academy and the Elmwood school.
In his ministry he was pastor of the
churches at Carrollton, Brazeau,
Pennington, Clark and Syenite, all in
Missouri. Besides these. he frequent
ly preached to weak churches, some
times riding long distances in all
kinds of weather to reach them. He
was very successful in his work, and
today all over Southeastern Missouri
you can meet the grandchildren and
children of men and women whom he
taught and to whom he preached. Of
ten elderly men and women talk of
studying under Mr.. Harlan or having
his loving counsel as their minister.
In Southeastern Missouri he is loved
and honored on every side.

DEATH AND BLINDNESS LURK
IN USE OF WOOD ALCOHOL

NOTE-This is the fifth of the Sc
ries of articles on Conservation of
Vision sent out by the department OF
preventive medicine of the University
of Missouri at Columbia. Other SIM
liar articles will follow each week.
To many persons alcohol is only al
cohol. They do not realize that under
the name of alcohol there is one form
which is deadly poison, and which
exerts its evil effects peculiarly on the
eyes. This form is known as wood
or methyl alcohol.
AS first produced, it was green in
color and had such disgusting odo1
and vile taste that there was little dan
ger from it. On account of its cheap
ness, the chemists began to purify il
and finally evolved a pure form which
cannot be told by the color from grain
alcohol. Though not SO agreeable
either to taste or smell as grain alco'
hol, it has not the disgusting proper
ties of the early product.
Wood alcohol is sold under different
names, Columbia Spirits, Cologne
Spirits, Purified Wood Alcohol, Stand.
ard Wood Spirits, Manhattan Spirits
etc. 1t has been considerably used fol
the adulteration of grain alcohol anc
in the manufacture of various tine
lures, such as Jamaica ginger, com
pound spirits of lavender, and es
sence of lemon. Often times drug
stores do not paste a caution or poison
label on the bottles. 1t has many use'

fitting speech presented to Mr.. Har-
Ian a gift from the Presbytery OF a
handsome travelling bag fitted with
toilet articles. The gift came as
complete surprise to Mr.. Harlan, Tor
as he expressed it himself, he did not
wish any "fuss" to be made over his
being an old man, and he tried TO keep
the fact of his birthday secret. But
the Presbytery would not have it SO.
While the gift was being presented
and Mr.. Harlan made his reply OF
thanks, the Presbytery stood in honor
of him, and after the close of his re-
marks the Presbytery sang, Praise
God from Whom All Blessings Flow"
The presentation came at the close OF
the morning session and Mr.. Harlan
pronounced the benediction, and at
it's close the Presbytery and a host
of friends greeted him with hearty
congratulations.
Rev. George w. Harlan was born
in Cadiz, KY, on September 2, 1874.
AS some one has said about him: lie
was born only twenty-one years after
the cession of the Louisiana territory;
in his Young manhod and life the
State of Texas was annexed, the Ore
gon territory discovered and Califor-
MIA coded to this country by Mexico.
He was educated at Illinois college
with the degrees of bachelor and mas
ter of arts, and he is the oldest living
graduate of that distinguished insti-
tuition. He received his theological
training in the Andover Theological!
Seminary, New York, and was licensed
to preach in 1851, and in April, 1856
was ordained by the Presbytery OF
Usage. Mr.. Harlan joined Potos
Presbytery in 1865 and was elected
stated clerk in 1868. In all of these

substances are added to make it un-
fit for drinking purposes, but do not
interfere with its use in the arts or
for fuel
Wood alcohol is also often nused as
rub, for which purpose it is ex-
ceedingly dangerous. The large num-
Der of cases of poisoning resulting in
death or permanent blindness have
called the attention of practically ev-
cry legislature in the Union in recent
years to the dangers of wood alcohol
