DHE CLIMAX OF CHRISTIAN
CHARACTER
(By Rev. CASTOR r. Coyner)

NE climax of Christian character
10 found in our relations to men and
not to cur relation to God. This may
sosnd ike strange statement to
some and they may wonder just what
is meant. In the Christian life there
are, or should be, the finest and deep
est emotional experiences that come
with a sweet communion with our Fa-
Their, God. These we can not do
without. Religion that knows no de-
vout emotions that are most sacred
and hallowed, is not worth wasting
time with. Religion without emotion
means nothing to me, and religion
that is all emotion means more. We
want to have our souls filed with
the glory of God. We need to pray
much in secret that God may bless
us and give us the power of the Holy
Ghost; we need to go to His house
to worship Him that we may get
strength by having fellowship with
Him and our fellow men; and we
ought to take part in special meet
ings where God pours cut His Spirit
upon us. It is good for us to openly
praise God by shout hallelujahs to
the Lamb that was slain; and while
all this is true there must be some
thing more if we are to please God.
We cannot experience thee deep emo
tons of the religious life and stop
there. These things are meant to
be the bases of service to our fellow
men. If a person shouts in Church
and then goes out the next day to
wrong his fellow man instead of deal
ing with him in the Christ spirit,
say to you that have the very best
evidence that that mans so-called
emotional experiences are spurious,
and worth very little. If we have
the love of God in our hearts, we
shall serve man with the Christian
spirit, and thus help to usher in the
new day when Christ shall have the
highest place in mems hearts. May
God help us all to live the highest
possible Christian life that we may
cause none to stumble, but help many
to be saved.

LETTER OF APPRECIATION s.

August 1OtU lJA4
Mr.. Lloyd Ballah 9sf
City
Dear Mr.. Ballah: g.
The Civic League wishes to thank
you most kindly for the services you
rendered them at the Park. They
are truly grateful to you and appfeci-
ate your cooperation and help very
much 20 ~
The League is indeed sorry for
their apparent indifference in failing
to send you some word of apprecia-
ton. This has always been their
custom and the oversight was not
intentional, we assure you. Unfor-
tunately, the President was absent
at the meeting following your work,
and the member detailed to bring her
suggestions, forgot them, SO the Lea
que was unaware of the business to
be transacted. Since we meet only
once a month and have been obliged
to abandon several meetings owing
to a lack of quorum, this matter
was neglected. Pleat;e acctpt our !,
apologies, together with our thanks
f., your kindness. H
Very truly
Belington Civic League
(Mrs. w. w. Brewer, Sec'y)
Note-This has reference to the
house which Mr.. Ballah constructed
over and around the Park Oven.

MRS. CARRA sPANN
The Gunnison Empire.

Very selGcr are we called urcn to
write the obituary notice of so popu-
lar young matron rs the one that
VIC write here.
Every citizen of Gunnison was
shocked beyond expression when the
news was had that Mrs. Cara Spann,
wife of James Spann, and daughter
of Judge and Mrs Sprigg Shackle-
ford, had passed away after brief
attack of acute Indigestion, Sunday
evening, July 13, 1924.
Cara Shackleford was born here
November %, 1883, and spent her en-
tire childhood and womanhood in this
county. All old timers recall her as
a little girl, and all loved her for her
sweet personality and brightness. In
1906 she was married to Joseph Par
sons and to their union two splendid
children were born, James, who grad
uated from the High School this year
with honors, and Cara, a lovely
daughter, by this death rendered des-
olate. In 1909, Mr.. Parsons passed
away, and four years later Mrs. Par
sons and James Spann were married.
This wedding took place on New
Years day, 1913, and to this union
Nancy and jamie Spann were born,
and to these two dear daughters their
mothers loss is irreparable, both
being of tender years and deserving
of the mother love which Cara
showered on all her children. Speak
ing with lady last night, who has
known the deceased from childhood,
she remarked, "Carra was a wonder
full mother" and it occurred to the
writer that no greater eulogy could
be pronounced to her memory.
Other circumstances of the imme-
date past, Hon. Sprigg Shackleford's
dangerous illness last winter, from
which he is but barely and slowly re-
covering, the sudden breaking down
of Mrs Shackleford and her removal
TO the sanitarium, add to the sor-
rows of those left to mourn the loss
of this admirable wife and mother.
Besides her heartbroken husband she
leaves her father, mother, brother
James, and sisters, Mamie, now Mrs.
E. F. Hart of Honolulu, and Lila, now
Mrs. J. ID. Harlan of Eureka, this
state, and the four motherless chill
dren To all these the heartfelt SYM
pathies of host of friends go out in
unmessured volume
The funeral was held from the
Community church Tuesday after
noon, Rev VIM. /. Jones delivering
touching and comforting sermon.
The church was filled to capacity and
the floral tributes were most beauti-
full and in unusual abundance, testi-
flying to the regard held by the peo-
pie for the deceased. Undertaken
Adams had charge of the burial.

DEATH OVERTAKES
WOMAN ON TRAIN

Death entered the passenger train
to Montrose Sunday just after it left
Delta and snuffed out the life of Mrs.
Susanna Ireland who was passenger
from Delta. Mrs. Ireland formerly
resided in Gunnison and last fall
went to Glenwood Springs where she
had been until last week when she
started for lola to visit.
Arriving in Delta Saturday after
noon with her daughter, Miss Mabel
Mundell, and two grandchildren who
have made their home with her Mrs.
Ireland found she could not get to
Montrose that day and so stayed over
night in Delta, where she has twin
sister, Mrs. M. M. Hendrickson. Mrs.
Ireland was apparently in her usual
health up until the time she started
to board the train for Montrose.
Then she seemed faint and had to be
helped onto the train. She apparent
ly recovered herself, but just after
tn train left Delta she suddenly col
lapsed and passed away at orfce.
The body was brought to Montrose,
accompanied by Miss Mundell and the
children and taken in charge by the
White mortuary. 1t was sent on
Monday to Gunnison for burial beside
Mrs Ireland's two daughters.
Mrs. Ireland was born March 30,
1878, making her past fifty-one years
of age at the time of her death. Her
husband passed away several years
ago and is buried at Pitkin, with
their two sons.
Mrs. Ireland and her relatives were
on their way to lola to visit William
Strassburg, who drove to Montrose
after news of the tragedy reached
him and took Miss Mundell and the
two children back with him.-Mont-
rosa Press.
