They did not look like those o f a workman, and were not celloused and discolored as those of a harntos-maker usually are. His clothing was o f good quallity.

E . church, have unanimously ask­ ed for the appointment o f Rev. A. N, Spahr, now of Trinity church, Xenia, mb pastor of the Greenville M. E. church for the coming conference year. I f the Bishop and his Cabinet approve this action the present pastor of Trinity church will be pleased to accept the invitation. Greenville is a beautiful and growing city, and the location is adjacent to the residences o f Mr. Spahris married daughters, so that it would make a, desirable ap­ pointment for him. In this connection we will say that no minister ever left a charge more regretted by all its' membership than is the seperation o f Brother Spahr from Trinity church. We think that every single member of the church is his friend and reglrete his removal. His de*|> spirituality, his warm licnrtedncss and sympathy with his people, his earnest efforts for the conversion of sinners and the wel­ fare of bis membership and his judici­ ousness in the administration o f all church matters have bonnd him to his flock as with hooks of steel. They all love him and their prayers will follow him and his wherever they may be lo~ cated.—Xenia Gazette. :The annual meeting of the Greene Comity W. C. T.

Clara Dunlap Serena, will be pained to hear o f the death of her husband Joseph Serena, who died at McKeesport, Pa., August 18. He was. well known in Cin­ cinnati, being long ■connected with Mr. Dauicl Stone in the coal business, For many months he has been a great sufferer. How we all hoped he would get well, but God had willed it other­ wise, and surrounded by his devoted wife and little son, and sorrowing friends, his spirit passed from earth. Everything gentle hands and loving, hearts could do was done, but death with its cold icy fingers claimed him for its own, and now he sweetly sleeps tha t sleep that knows no waking. Those who knew him remember him only as a gentle loving friend, and a noble Christian gentleman. Their home was a very happy one. They had three dear little children. Lillie their golden haired baby of three /ears, after a few days sickness was suddenly taken from them, then for a time things looked very dark to them, but brighter days came, and merry voices were again heard in their home, when scarlet fever came and took an­ other child from them, and now the young wife and little son arc left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. Poor Clara, how my heart goes out in love and sympathy to her, God pity herl All the hopes o f a happy life are blasted and nothing bu t sorrow is visible. “Leaf by leaf the roses fade and fall,” no link by link the chain which binds us to earth is broken. Heaven never before has seemed so near, it seems as if only a thin veil separates that beautiful lAnd from us, very few of our loved, ones left, Only a few more years and we will all have crossed the dark river, no more part­ ings, no more farewells, bu t our loved ones are waiting a t the pearly gates to welcome all ofGod’s children home.
