NATHAN SMITH.


Nathan Smith, son of Daniel and
Asenith Smith, was born in the town
of Berlin, Rensselaer, county, N. Y,
March %, 1880, and died at Albion,
Wis, March Is, 1916.
He was the oldest of family Of
seven children, two of whom survive
him, Elliott of Grand Rapids, Mich,
and Charles of Albion, Wis. He came
to this state about the year 1853 and
was joined by his father and mother
and other members of the family in
1857. He has spent the remainder of
his life in Albion and surrounding
towns. He was never married, but
lived in his own home and took care of
himself until failing health required
that he seek the hospitality and tender
care of his brothers. home where he
lived until his death.
Uncle Nathan was a man of more
than usual intellect. He was great
reader until his eyes failed him. and
was well informed on many subjects.
He was good citizen and was loved
and highly respected by those who
knew him best. He recoiled at being
burden to anyone, and this, with his
failing eyesight and poor health, no
doubt accounts for his violent death.
Funeral services were held from the
home Monday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. C.. S. Sayre, and interment took
place in Albion cemetery.

Social reformers throughout the
Christian centuries have always been in
spired by the record of the Christian
Brotherhood at Jerusalem. The
achievements of the church in the early
days of the first persecution, in Jeru-
salem. of the faithful, by the ecclesi-
astical authorities of the temple, were
due to a period of great spiritual pros
perity that came from a season of
united prayer.
The weakness of many modern social
programs, stated to be cures for the
ills of society, has been that they have
lacked the spiritual foundations that
gave the Christian Brotherhood, in Je
rusalem the unity that Paul pleaded
with the Philippian Church to possess,
in last weeks study. Without a
spiritual foundation every scheme to
improve social or political conditions
is doomed to be failure. The hope of
the modern temperance movement con-
quering the world is due to its spiritual
foundation, being based upon Christian
principles.
When the church learned from the
experience of Peter and John Of their
peril they Immediately placed their po-
sition before God. who filled them with
such power that they gave exhibition
OF one of the most remarkable displays
OF miraculous power in apostolic his
tory. Whenever opposition from with
out drives a church to a prayer until
it becomes filled with spirit Of
unity and harmony, then the opposition
becomes, instead of hndrance, a
blessing, for through prayer the church
obtains spiritual strength. that prom
lses for its cause victory and a
crown OF glory. Whenever a country
recognizes its danger so that it
turns to God. as united people CRYING
Tor His guidance and protection, then
though called upon to enter even into
the struggles of war it knows that
God will give victory and triumph
The story Of the struggles of the
American colonies for their independ-
ence is filled with the evidence that
Washington. the father of our country
and the Continental Congress realized
their absolute dependence for victory
upon the blessings of God, before
whom they presented the needs of the
colonies in prayer.
The men that pray must be prepared
TO pray. No person can commence to
plead with God for blessings without
being moved TO try 70 bring TO sue

tion. When the disciples laid their
peril before the Lord, they were moved

their talents and possessions to the
Masters cause. The strangers from
abroad who had been won for Christ
and His church needed support in their
Efforts to advance the kingdom of God
by their ministry. Not all could preach
but every one could help maintain
those who were preaching and supply
the needs of the converts, who lost
their fortunes, and frequently family
friendship. when they identified them
selves with the young church, that in
the face Of persecution grew in num-
bers and attracted multitudes from the
neighboring cities. who came to be
