PASSING ON OF
MRS. We. WEISEL

The citizens of Grand Rapids mourn
with Mr.. W. c. Weisel in the loss of
| his charming wife, companion and
Aelpmeet, who passed away at their
ovely home on the corner of Washing
ton Avenue and Drake street, Sunday
noon, June s, 1919, after lingering
| illness of several months duration. She
was patient and long suffering during
her sickness. She made a brave fight
| Tor life, for she had much to live for.
A devoted and loving husband, who
was ever thoughtful of her every wish;
an ideal home in which they had just
recently been domiciled; and friends
by the score. Life to her was really
charming and had many attractions.
Living in the midst of all things the
heart could wish for, she was called
N to a higher life which we are prom
ised is far better than this. Let us
hope SO for her sake
Those who knew Mrs. Weisel, init
mately, will remember her as most
charming woman. Possessing all the
traits of character that go to make
Up an excellent wife, friend and COM
oanion. She was devoted to her hus-
band, home, friends and neighbors,
and in her going on, they all sincerely
mourn. May her spirit rest in peace,
and her life be emulated by those who
knew her best.
Mrs w. C. Weisel was born in Ap-
oleton, Wis, June 80, 1868, where she
was educated and grew up to womna-
hood. She had reached the age of 81
years, II months and days. Her par
ents moved to Merrill, Wis, where
they resided for many years and op-
rated hotel. Her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Strasser, were both born
n Germany and were lovely people as
many citifens in this city remember
chem favorably. They are now both
deceased having passed on to the great
beyond.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weisel were married
in Appleton on April 27, 1892, and
resided there, in Heineman, Amigo,
and for the past eight years have been
residents oe this city. Mr.. Weisel was
IN the mercantile business in all three
Of the above named cities. Mrs. Wei
sci was member of the Order of
Eastern Star and short funeral serv-
ices were rendered at the home on
Washington Avenue at 7:30 o'clock by
the officers of that order. The remains
were followed by large number OF
her friends in automobiles to the c.
NJ. & St. Paul depot for shipment to
Milwaukee where further services
will be held at Spring Hill cemetery
and burial take place.
She leaves to mourn, her husband,
four sisters, Mrs. Joseph Baum of
Farrackaway, L. l.; Mrs. L. Steinhart,
C New York City; Mrs. S. Heinemano of
Merrill, and two brothers, w. Strasser
and Edward Strasser, both of New
York City.
The funeral services at the house
were short but impressive. A fitting
close to the life which had just gone
back to the place from whence it came.
The floral offerings were beautiful and
indicative of the respect and esteem in
which the deceased had been held by
those who knew her intimately. She
will be greatly missed in her home and
the community in which she dwelt.
Peace be unto her.

For 53 years the woman suffrage
question has been presented in some
way to each session of the Congress
of the United States In 1877 Miss
Susan B. Anthony and her co-adjutors
by coup d. Etat appeared on the floor
of Congress and presented each mem
Der with the copy of a petition from
his own state. The next year the a.
mendment virtually drafted in the
final form as it passed both houses of
congress was presented in the United
States Senate. The wording of the
amendment was determined after a
lengthy discussion by the suffrage as
sociation and was approved by all be-
cause of its simplicity and it's likeness
to the fifteenth amendment which it
was expected to follow. 1t reads:
'The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of sex"

TRIBUTE TO The BIBLE

TRIBUTE TO THE BIBLE
Most Of the great men OF many ages
have paid tribute to the Bible as the
greatest Of books. Sometimes we for
get its value in the shaping of the
lives of the young people and fail to
impress upon them its everlasting
Importance as part of the equip
ment for the days of manhood and wo.
manhood
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills in the
Atlanta Constitution present an idea
Of great mems love for the Bible as
follows:
Before the battle Chateau Thierry
By way Of preparing our boys for bat
tie, Marshal Foch said, "Fhe Bible is
certainly the best comforter you can
60 into battle TO sustain his magnifl-
cent ideals and his splendid faith"
The blood red earnestness OF the great
marshal and his downright sincerity
Is evidenced by the fact that ii was
his custom during all the campaign
Of last summer to make his way early
in the morning and late at night to
the nearest church where, like ABR
nam Lincoln the so4dier bowed his
knees in prayer.
Walter Scott expressed the same
dea, when, forecasting his end, he
told Lockhart that In the supreme
hour" there is bat one Book to be
place under mans pillow. But the
Book that Foch and Scott wanted be-
side them in the hour of approaching
death, is the very Book that great
men have kept in their hands during
the crises Of life. 1t was the Bible to
which Lord TennysOn went for his
chief mental stimulus and from this
Book he made three hundred quota.
tons in his poems Shakespeare
seems to have squeezed the Bible like
a purple cluster until the red juice
ran down through all his pages. Rus
kin traced his literary style to the
fact that his mother made him com
nit to memory, before he was ten
years of age, forty great chapters of
the Bible Washington urged the adop
ton of our constitution as a standard
to which confused races might repair,
and Ruskin used the literary style of
the Bible as a standard to whose lev
ell he sought to bring all his greatest
chapters.
The Bible has been a book dear to
all heroes as well as to all scholars
In Windsor casle the visitor is shown
a 4r fnI HuClrA f IL,
little silken cushion, upon which rests
Gordon's Bible that travelled with him
through all his perilous life, and was
in his pocket when he'll fell at Khar-
toum. In that little book lies the secret
of Gordon's courage self-sacrifice and
unrivaled achievements. When great
Chinese leader visited the noble
queen at Windsor and referred to
England's wealth and worldwide DOW
er, Victoria pointed to that Bible
and said. That Book explains Eng
