from our Sunday school, his place is
vacant, his voice is silent. yet the
purity of his life, the noble examples
given us by him has left its impress
for good upon ell who knew him,
and while his body, covered with a
bank of flowers, placed there by
tender loving friends, his spirit has
winged its way to that Celestial City,
there to vie around the great white
throne of God in Heaven, as long as
the stars glitter and the angels sing.
Therefore, be it resolved, first /;
That in the death of Leonard Cald-

faithful and much loved pupil; our
loss is Heavens gain.
Resolved, second; That we COM

Resolved, fourth; That a page in

In Memory.

The homegoing of Mrs. Sarah j.
Fullerton filled the hearts of her
relatives, friends and neighbors with
unspeakable grief. Mrs. Fullerton's
character was one of very high
growth and development in the
Christian life. Her disposition was
sweet, her intellect broad, her out
ward life gentle, and yet above and
beyond all this, the inner life that
she lived in the secret place with
her Master, was discernable to every
one with whom she came in contact.
She was a staunch believer in the
four-fold doctrine of the Christian
Missionary Alliance, and while be-
ing loyal and energetic member of
the Methodist Church, at this place,
she attended the Alliance Chapel,
and her presence was an inspiration
to those who attend regularly. She
was greatly loved by the writer,
whose privilege it has been to know
the deeper side Of her nature, as con-
corning spiritual things. Her life
was one of earnest prayer. She was
extremely modest and retiring, al
ways esteeming others above herself.
She has been called up higher, from
whence her influence will continue
on and on, yea, even forever, for who
will dare limit the influence of a
Christian mother? "She is not dead,
but Slecpeth." Her immediate fami-
ly consists of husband and daugh-
ter, of this city, and son, who is
stationed at Camp Shelby, Miss.

Death of Little Boy.

Noell Dunn, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edd Dunn, of this city, was killed
accidentally at Birmingham, Ala, on
the goth ult. The boy was nine
years of age. He was visiting an
uncle at Birmingham and on Friday
went out Fishing. On the way he
undertook to jump up on a lumber
motor truck and slipped, falling un-
der the machine, resulting in his
death. The remains were shipped to
Union City and services held Sun
day afternoon at tho First Christian
Church, conducted by Rev. J. Ran
dali Farris. Interment took place
at East View. Sympathy is extend

Resolutions.

Whereas, on the night of March
II, 1918, the death angel visited the
home of Leonard Caldwell in this
city and laid it's hand upon him,
touched him and he as not, and
while his body was consigned to
mother earth, the silent city of the
dead, his spirit winged its way to
the Celestial City, the home of the
pure and the good.
Leonard had almost reached his
majority, being just past twenty
years of age. About five years ago
he gave his heart to the Divine
Father and Joined the Cumberland
Church at Antioch and on moving to
Union City he, with his sister, father
and mother, Joined the Cumberland
Church in this city.
Leonard was the only boy and the
idol of the family, and on account of
his Affections, which had been his to
endure for a number of years and
which he bore with such Christian
fortitude, he had woven himself
more deeply into the hearts of his
father, mother, sister, relatives and
friends.
Leonard was rather retired, re-
served and extremely considerable in
all his relations of life. True to
every trust, to his family, his
friends, the church and Sunday
school, his associates, and his Sun
day school teacher and classmates.
His very life was such as is most
worthy of imitation and the wave of
influence for good put in motion by
him, will widen and extend even to

ton or with the sanction of officers.
and officers themselves took part in
it.
The object of taking many hun
dredG of prisoners to Cologne and
back into Belgium is at first sight
difficult to understand. Possibly it
is to be regarded as part of the poll
cy of punishment for Belgian re-
sistanee and general terrorization of
the possibly as desire
to show these people to the popu-
lation of German city and thus to
confirm the belief that the Belgians
had shot at their troops.
Whatever may have been the case
when the burning began on the
25th, it appears clear that the sub
sequent destruction and outrages
were done with set purpose. 1t
was not until the 26th that the IL
brary, and other university build
ings, the Church of st. Peter and
many houses were set on fire. 1t is
to be noticed that cases occur in the
dispositions in which humane acts by
individual officers and soldiers are
mentioned, or in which officers are
said to have expressed regret at be-
ing obliged to carry out orders for
onfi0n q 0nincf tho aiuiliond
Similarly, we find entries in diaries
which reveal a genuine pity for ~the
population and disgust at the con-
duct of the army. 1t appears that
German non-commissioned officer
stated definitely that he was act
ing under orders and executing them
with great unwillingness. A COM
missioned officer on being asked at
Louvain by a Witness highly edu-
Gated man-About the horrible acts
committed by the soldiers, said he
was merely executing ORDERS" and
that he himself would be shot If he
did not execute them. Others gave
less credible excuses, one stating
that the inhabitants of Louvain had
burned the city themselves because
they did not wish to supply food and
quarters for the German Army. 1t
was to the discipline rather than
the want of discipline in the army
that these outrages, which we are
Obliged to describe as systematic,
were due, and the special official
notices posted on certain houses
that they were not to be destroyed
show the fate which had been de-
creed for the others which were not
so marked.
We are driven to the conclusion
that the marrying of the villages in
the district, the burning of a large
part of Louvain, the massacres there,
the marching out of the prisoners,
and the transport to Cologne (all
done without inquiry as to whether
the particular persons seized or kill
ed had committed any wrongful act)
were due to calculated policy car
ried out scientifically and deliberate
Iy, not merely with the sanction but
under the direction of higher mill
tary authorities, and were not due
to any provocation or resistance by
the civilian population.

places, some being ultimately sent
on the Goth to the Belgian lines at
Malines, others were taken in trucks
to Cologne as described below, others
were released An account of the
massacre of some of these unfor-
tunate civilian prisoners given by
two witnesses may be quoted:
I'VE were all placed in Station
Street, Louvain, and the German SOL
diers fired upon us. saw the corpses
of some women in the street. l fell
down, and a woman who had been
shot fell on top of me. 1 did not
dare to look at the dead bodies in
the street, there wcro so many of
them. All of them had been shot by
the German soldiers. One woman
whom I saw lying dead in the street
was a Miss J., about 35. / also saw
the body of A. M. Ga woman). She
had been shot. saw an officer pull
her corpse underneath wagon"
Another witness, who was taken
from Aerschot, also describes the &C.
currence:
81 was afterward taken with a
large number of other civilians and
placed in the church at Louvain.
Then we were taken to Station
Street, Louvain. There were about
1900 civilians of both sexes, and we
had been marched from Aerschot to
Louvain. When we were in Station
Street / felt that something was
about to happen, and l tried to shell
ter in a doorway. The German sol
diers then fred a mitrailleuse and
their rifles upon the people, and the
people fell on all sides. Two men
next to me were killed. / after

and the firing ceased. then ran
away with a married woman named
B. (whose maiden name was A. M,
aged 20, who belong to Aerschot,
but we were again captured. She
was shot by the side of me, and !
saw her fall. Several other people
were shot at the same time. again
