ROSS The article tab week consists of two tributes, one by a eon, the other by an ex-pastor, A tribute to the United Presbyter­ ian Church of Urilurville, Ohio, by Key, J. 11, Kyle. Although I was not horn*, in the, United Presbyterian church of Cedar- villo, Ohio, I received her ministering care during the greater part of my -boyhood-years, umde^bee-fomer-aie- noininational name—-the Ass ueiate Reformed' church, My father and mother united with that church shortly after hor organization aud when I was some ten years of age. . The firfct Sabbath school I ever at­ tended was in' that church, It was ’ there I made confession of njy faith in'Ghriac and was received into church fellowship. For these reasons, if- lor no other, the 'church ,of Oedarville, now venerable with years, is and al­ ways will he, very dear to me.' I can­ not, perhaps, better express my. af­ fection for her than in the language oi the Otto Hundred and Second "Psalm, as we "have it in'the revised version now in use ’in the public •praise of that old homo church, “ For In her rubbish aud her stones Thy servants pleasure take;' Yea, they the very dust thereof Do favor, for her. sake." I therefore gladly comply with the request o f her pastor, who for some months has be<n engaged in writing her history; to Write a brief Irioute to the church of my boyhood, I have a very vivid recollection of tile names o f riioSt p£1the families of that church as it was in the early years o f her existence, together with the pews in whleh they sat. I recall how quickly those pews were filled by parents and children when the bell in the church .tower ceased tolling at the - hour of service On the Lord’s day and how, wlieb seated, their reverent at­ titude expressed the words of Corn­ elius, addressed to Peter: “ How there-' fore we are all .here present before God, to h'ear all tluugs that are com­ manded thee of God/* I think it would not be out of place to call the roll of some of the families . of which that church was composed more than half a century ago. Fin­ ney Stewart and family, James Bogle and family, Levi Mitchell and family, William Bull and family, David id. Kyle and family, Samuel Barber und family, John Turnbull and family; Mrs. Elizabeth Turnbull and family^ Thomas Townsley ami-family, James McCoy and family, Samuel Kyle and family, Innis Townsley aud family, Espy Mitchell and family, John, Tor­ rence and family, William Kyle and family. Dr, Stewart, David Jackson and family, George Gordon and., fam­ ily, Get)/Robert Jackson, and family, JohnF, Frazier and family, George Jackson and family, Frank Wright apd family, and Thomas Gibson and family. But'I need not give them all. These were among the most in- telligent, substantial and godly fam­ ilies of that whole community. They were a people whose religion was not Bimjlly a name, but they lived right­ eously and walked humbly before God. In the home o f each qf these families, Was the family altar where morning and evening prayer was reg­ ularly offered. There was no mistak­ ing the reality of either the family or individual religions life. Aud what Was equally important and commend­ able, the children were religiously trained from their infancy in these homes nn'd taken to the house of God on the Lore's day, with conscientious regularity, jt was thu?i that they were trained into the habit of church going, Which made that duty in after years sent i\ eri>s, imt- n j iy<*us prm »**, jf ll*-nee a* I tuny Junk lack uv r tt SUSPECTSARE RELEASED,- “ I have made a moat thorough trial of Ayer’ s CherryPectoral and amprepared toanythat for all dis­ eases of the lungs it never disap­ points.” ' ^ L.EarlyFinley, fronton, O. limup . fiiilfulTililiiafBlfn I A y e r 's C h e rry Femoral w on ’ t cure rheum atism ; w e never sa id it w ou ld .

In writing, however, what 1 'have -of the families of that old church in which I worshiped during tunny of my youthful years, I would not wish to give the impression tint they wer$ perfect, They were far from it. In­ firmities and sins marked aud marred their Christian lives, and no one saw' it more clearly or realized it more ful­ ly than, themselves. Nevertheless they witnessed a good confission' and left the impress o f; their gotny lives upon the generation following so that the names of Lost of those families arc today, in that church and com­ munity, as ointment pouv-d forth, And it is iny earnest prayer that that church, the church of my boyhood.; dnya, mav continue through a long future, to be the place where many! s«uls:sliiill be born.unto, God' and be nurtured by llm Word and Spirit of God u»^> l)l'e.ct*rual, '.thttt, she may limy continue to hold forth the light of the gospel o f salvation in that place, and that, when God comes to write his people, it may bo said, that this man ami that were horn in her. Rev* A. M.. Campbell has the following to say of the congregation ‘•‘Cedarville congregation ought to have a faithful record. That church lias had .quite a place in the life of our denomination, and is known to till the church. Gedarville has been a point at which some extreme views have met., in reform measures, and in political antagonisms, and where some sharp parish problems' have been fought out, for the study or wnruing of other congregations. Aud I think a real service is done to the larger church to set .before it the lift}' of such a congregation/’ 1.

Its radi­ cal mid comprehensive provisions are' arousing interest and comment in gll circles of society from the highest to the lowest, because the law effects all the fashonable qlubs of Pall .Mall as well as the dirtiest public iu White Chapel. Until this act passed, mere drunkenness had not been a crime. This act declares it to he suoh. Drunk­ enness among woman iu England Inis increased shockingly in the last two decades. The new law, for the first time, enu hies a husband to obtain le­ gal separation from an habitual drunken, wife and a wife from a drunken husband.' Under the new act the sale of liquor is prohibited to an habitual diunkurd for a period of three years after conviction. So that there may not be any doubt as to the identity of such drunkards the law provides that particulars shall he sent by the court to the police authorities concerned iu each case. The police arc compelled to notify all saloon* keepers in the druiikmd's neighbor­ hood of his conviction as an habitual drunkard. The police are preparing to obtain photographs of the habitual drunkards,, copies of which Tvill.be privately 'circulated by the saloon* keeper's association to all salootw iu order to protect-saloon proprietor# against-the penalty for the violation of the law*. I f the habitual drunkim! attempts within three years to obtain, intoxicants anywhere ho is. liable t» ft heavy fine, while anybody who assists an habitual drunkard, directly or in­ directly, to obtain liquor will be heav­ ily lined. This clutwn makes it n fin- able ofinnfee for anybody to treat a drunkard. Anyone found drunk in a public place may ho arrested; per- snug drunk while in charge of a child under seven years oi age may be ar­ rested and are liable to a fine or im­ prisonment, or both. ; , ■-J have,some very nice Blankets | in stock now and at prices that arc for that he saw Harry Barlow, Tracy, Gbaric;; Jeffries and 'Bhmgledeeker at the railroad crossing tne night of the .murder beiwveti S:I 10 hud .9:00 o’clock p. m.
