mission to the Divine Will. No re-
pining or complaining at the ways
of al Advise Father. Under the try
ing circumstances she was cheered
with a sublime faith, which never fall
tered, and lighted the pathway down
to the end of the journey.
Hers was a clear discerning mind
which, enlightened by the Word and
Spirit of God, took hold of the lead
ing problems of life with a clear
grasp and enabled her to meet nobly
those obligations which rested upon
her as a wife, a member of society
and as a Christian. She will be sad
" missed in all these relations. But
we are cheered with the thought that
our loss is her eternal gain. The
time Of separation, too, is short. She
cannot return to us but we can go to
her.
As we pilgrimage through life we
can emulate those noble Christian
virtues which shown out SO conspic-
uously in her life; we can cherish the
memory of her good deeds and kind
words as something more precious
than gold. With an eye of faith
fixed on her Saviour, we can patient
ly await the time of our departure,
when with her and all the redeemed
we shall ever be with the Lord.
"Thou art gone to the grave, but we
will not deplore thee;
Though sorrows and darkness en-
compass the tomb,
The Saviour has passed through its
portals before thee,
And the lamp of His love is thy
Guide through the gloom.
Thou art gone to the grave, but
'twere wrong to deplore thee,
When God was thy ransom, thy
guardian and guide,
He gave thee and took thee, and soon
will restore thee,
Where death has no sting, since
the Saviour has died."
Her pastor,

MRS. MOLLIE LAMPHERE

Ou IHe ~tHlTCy-nTSC OF july IN the
quiet hours of the night there slipped
away from the strife and tumult OF
this world into the peace of the great
beyond one friend and sister in
Christ, Mrs. Mollie Lamphere. A life
so full of kindly thought for others
needs no words of commentator
from her friends. She builded herself
a monument in the hearts o fthose
to whom she ministered and with
whom she came in contact, but it is
fitting that we, as an organization OF
which she was a loved and valued
member, should express our appre-
citation of her life and work with us.
From the time that Mrs. Lamphere
came to Tupelo she became an in
tegeal part of the religious life of the
community. When she became a
member of the First Baptist church,
she automatically, as it were, became
a member of every working organi-
zation of the church. The weather
was never too hot nor too cold for
her to be in her place at Sunday
school and preaching service. She
was for a long while the very efficient
superintendent of the Home Depart
ment of the Sunday school and as she
carried her literature from house to
house, she carried with it words of
hope and cheer and comfort. AS a
member of the Woman's Missionary
Union she contributed literally of her
slender means, her time and her SER
vice. Her brave cheerful spirit, her
sweet encouraging smile and her
counscel, born of a rich experience
made her one of the Unions most
loved and honored members.
Her activities we're not limited to
her own church. She was one of the
most useful workers in the South Tu-
pelo Sunday school. There among
her closest friends and neighbors she
did her most effective work. She or
ganized the women of the South Tu-
pelo community with a Missionary
Union, the obpect of which was to
aid the sick and needy among them.
Her warm loving heart went out af-
ter those who were in need, and she
knew just how and where to give
help. Of the extent of her work and
of its worth the world will never
know, for it a not done to be seen
of men, but when the names of
those who love the Lord and who
love and serve their fellow-men are
made known, dear Mrs. Lamphere
will be among the shining ones
When the long months of sickness
that shut her in the house finally
came, her greatest regret was that
she could no longer be among the
worshipers in the house of God. But
she bore her sufferings with the
same patient humility that had char
acterized her every art in health.
Those who looked upon her face as
she lay in death marveled at the
beauty of it in its calm and sweet
serinity.
Dear, patient, humble servant of
God, like her master, she went about
doing good till at last when the tired
feet had ceased to go about on their

Lie Is Passed and Sharp RetortS SizzIe in the Air at Various
 Intervals.

Compensation, Especially Regarding Doctors, Is Apparently Bone
 of Contention.

Sparks fairly flew last night at the hearing before the Senate com mittee which is considering the Ald- rich physicians bill- a bill which proposes to do away with the sys- tenn Of hospital and physicians ser vice that is effective in the three great mines of Juneau and permit each employee to designate what hospital and what doctor he de- sIres that his money should go to.
 In one instance the direct lie was passed, and at other times several men were on their feet at once. all talking.
 Senator Aldrich called the meet ing to order and stated its purpose and read at some length from mcdi- cal papers regarding his state % meut as to the necessity and ob- ject of the bill. The bill was then read in full and printed copies were distributed to those present. The Senator stated that the medical fraternity of Alaska was behind the bill and that he had spent two years working on it and its provis- ions. in Alaska, and he had con- suited with authorities as far East as New York, and that it had been drawn to meet any objections which might be made against it.
 Thane Gives Mine Side.
 B. l.. Thane was then called upon for his opinion of the bill and stated in very emphatic terms that it was a vicious piece of legisla- ton and should not pass.
 q am speaking not along as the manager Of the Alaska Gastineau Company but as a man and a miner of Alaska" he declared. He read from an Eastern paper that the Supreme Court of the United States has upheld the compensation act in all of it's forms as recently at March 18th, 1917, and stated that as the Aldrich bill had been drawn to suit the medical fraternity, but that the mine workers and mine managers had not been consulted as to it's provisions Sen ator Aldrich admitted the charge Mir. Thane asked if any miners or mine managers had asked for the of the bill and was told by Senator Aldrich that they had not

The companies op- erating in this section paid out last year over $1OO,OOO under the compensation act and each com pany has committee whose duty it is to receive any complaints of the management of the mine, the conduct of the mess houses, or treatment of the men, and that no complaint had ever reached them on the part of the men who were not allowed to choose their own doctors,
 Bill Malicious.
 "The bill is a malicious piece of legislation, and will do away with what little hospital service and doctors care we are able to give our men at the present Each man pays $1.5O which alone would not permit him to arrange for service from any hospital or doc tor that he might see fit to choose, but by throwing the money collect ed, amounting to approximately $2,OOO per month, into one pot we are able to provide three doctors and adequate hospital care for all persons needing the service. The doctors are not paid by the com pany We arrange with the hospi- tai and pay them lump sum every month. They provide the doctors and they must be on call day or night to attend any person injured pr taken sick.
 No man who does not agree is forced to pay the hospital fee. Or linary common sense would show ! man that we are forced to get the best service for the men possl- ble, as we are forced to pay com pensatlon To whose advantage then is it 10 have the men receive good doctor services. The greater the injury the greater the compen- sation, and poor doctor or hospital service which prevents rapid re- covery does not excuse us from paying the compensation.
 Difficulties in Way.
 Fifty or seyenty-hve per cent. 1f our men are frequently chang ing and do not know the best doc ,ors or hospitals and have no means of knowing. What then is to pre- vent the greatest bunch of Quack doctors or even legitimate doctors sweeping down upon us and launch- ing their runners at the mine and paying them a commission to sec cure cases for them?
 "The bill provides for adequate service on the part of the doctor or hospital. What does that mean? Is there any law or standard by which adequate service can be Is the man himself to decide whether he is receiving ad- aquate service or not? And if he Is not satisfied with his treatment IS the doctor or hospital to be subject to suit under their bond by every disgruntled kicker? The bond of $5,OOO which the doctors md hospitals are forced to put up looks to me like bait for every 3hyster lawyer in the country to shoot at.
