In (Charleston, W. Va., on the afternoon
of December 4, 1911, at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. E. Virginia
Oakes, where she had resided for a number
of years, Mrs. Mary Virginia Hamilton
heard the call of the Master and
passed from earthly scenes to the
Heavenly. The day flooded with sunshine
was typical of the life that came
to a close, for she was of a sunny nature,
and this with her charm of manner.
endeared her to all who knew her.
The highest type of woman is a Christian
mother, and such she was, fearing
God herself and trying to bring up her
children In the same way. She was endowed
with unusual intellect, which
made her, even in her advanced age, an
Interesting companiori. Her faith in
God was so firm that even in her long
sickness it never wavered. Like the
great Apostle she "kept the faith," and
having -"finished her course," has "received
the crown."
She was born at "IjeeMgh," Columbia,
THE PRESBYTERI,
Fluvanna county, Virginia, on March
24, 1826. She waB the daughter of
Howell and Virginia Payne Lewis, nee
Miss Lee. She was married February
12, 1845, to the late Col. A. M. Hamilton,
who died June 13, 1897. She is survived
by nine children, twenty-nine
grandchildren and eighteen great-graudr?hl1Hron
She had been for many years a faitnful
member of the First Presbytei'an
church, of Charleston, and with the
simple, but impressive service of rliat
church, was laid to rest by the side of
her husband, in Spring Hill Cemetery.
"Liife's duty done as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine :o say
'How blest the righteous when he
dies.'"

MRS. JENNIE II. DANIEL.
Ths good woman, after a long and
brave fight for life, passed peacefully into
rest at her home, "Arcadia," in Charlotte
county, Va? on the evening of
Anril Ift+h 1Q19
Mrs. Daniel, the daughter of G. C. and
A. E. Hannah, of "Charlotte county, born
August 3, 1854, reared in a cultured
Christian home by godly parents, developed
into a splendid Christian woman
of sweetest character. By nature, by
training and by grace admirably fitted
for the stern duties of life, she married
Mr. E. F. Daniel, of Charlotte Co. Ho.,
and to them were born twelve children,
eight of whom live to cherihh the memory
of one of the best mothers, and to
revere her for her many good works.
She was for anore than forty years a
faithful, active, member of the Presbyterian
church, which she loved and
served with all the devotion of her
heart.
When such a wife, such a mother,
such a friend and such a church member
dies, there must be left a great
aching and a painful void in the lives
of those that have leaned on her, trusted
in her, been guided and helped by her?
may not these aching hearts find com
fort and strength by following in her
footsteps, even as she followed her
Saviour, and at last find the same sweet
rest she has found in the land where
d<welleth perfect peace? A Friend.

member of the First Presbyterian

acts being the equipping of a small boy

Mrs. Henry H. Bull, therefore be it resolved:

members, one who not only prayed that

MR. THOMAS Ji. LUPTOJi.
On Christmas day, in Winchester, Va.,
Mr. Thomas N. Lupton entered into rest.
He was born in 1826, and was the third
of seven children born to Jonah Lupton
and Mary (Smith) Lupton, Rev. Jonah
Lupton, D. D., a well known Presbyterian
mnister and Dr. John S. Lupton,
the pioneer apple grower of the lower
Valley, being younger 'brothers. Of
these seven children, the last, Mrs.
Simpson, of Loudoun county, Va., has
died since Mr. Lupton, and singularly
enough, three of the number died on
Christmas day. Mr. Lupton was married
in 1852 to Mary Janney Liupton, and
had two children, Alice M? now the wife
of Rev. William Hervey Woods, D. D.,
of Baltimore, and Jonah, a son who died
in infancy.
Mr. Lupton joined the church about
1867, and eight years later was elected
an elder in Loudoun Street church of
W inchester. For about 35 years he
served as an elder in that ohurch, and
as such his influence and service were
of incalcuable value to the church and
to its pastors. He was one to walk
worthy of the vocation wherewith he
was called, giving no occasion to the
enemy to blaspheme, and being blameless
as an elder should be. Moreover,
being endowed with an uncommonly tine
mind, his sound judgment was always
worth V of ftnnRl.dornflnn Hie
eaeily learned to look to and lean on
him In the decision of difficult questions.
Often has the writer heard his father,
who served with Mr. Lupton in that session
for 25 years, express with emphasis
the comfort he found in a counsellor
so wise and so safe. And well
does the writer remember this good
man, seated among those familiar and
fine faces composing that bench of elders.
who welcomed him to the Lord's
table?and how comfortable it was to
come under the care of such men.
'In 1879 Mr. Lupton removed his residence
to the city, and lived there the
remainder of his life. He was twice
chosen mayor of the city, the office
seeking the man, and his fellow citizens
calling him to serve them in that capacity,
because they felt that the city's
interests -would be in safe and strong
hands, with him in the mayor's chair.
In snch lives as this there lies the
sliength of the church. Any one may
live in one locality for a few years, and
keep himself unspotted. But not every
one can do what he did. For four-score
and five years he lived in or near this
famous, battle-scarred city, spending his
whole life under the blaze of all eyes,
and at the close of his long life commanded
the entire confidence of all.
Than which there Is perhaps no severer
test of, nor higher tribute to, a man's
worth. A life like this "adorns the doctrine,"
and is to the praise of his glorious
grace.
In the days coming on the earth, may
the Lord raise up unto his church more
men of this mould and calibre, to fill
the places made vacant by the removal
of the good and strong men of the generation
gone, or going raptidly.
In a genuine fellowship with the
Spirit of Ood is nourished that greatness
of soul in which obstacles become
only a challenge of faith and
duty the way of delight?Bx.

DRl'MMER MAKES DISCOVERY
Some years ago a South Carolina
drummer whose health had failed and
who was suffering from a severe case
of dyspepsia, complicated by a kidney
disease was forced to give up his position
as traveling salesman. He had
wasted In strength and flesh until he

*? ? nine uiuic iuaii a vvttiniiig csiveiClUll.
He could eat nothing without suffering
agonizing pain. Having tried many
remedies with little benefit he learned
of a mineral spring the waters of which
were attracting a good deal of attention
at the time. He decided to give
it a trial.
From the first day he began to improve.
In a week he had gained five
pounds. In three weeks he had gained
18 pounds. His appetite and digestion
had returned. 'His sleep was restful
and refreshing. He felt that he was
well again. That was five years ago
and he is sound and well today. And
then he began to think. He knew that
there were hundreds of thousands of
Bufferers from dyspepsia, indigestion
and kidney trouble. Would this water
fuire them? He determined to see. He
bought the spring and published that
he would ship the water free to all who
?ufTered. Tetters poured into his office
from all over the country. He shipped
twelve thousand gallons the first year
absolutely free. The water cured others
lust as it had cured him. There was
hardly an exception.
Realizing the marvelous curative properties
of the water he decided to devote
the remainder of his life to the
spring. Every mail brings him letters
from physicians and patients praising
tv-e curative properties of the water.
The drummer's name is *N. P. Shlvar,
and he has given his name to the spring.
If there is any reader of this article
who suffers with dvspepsia, indigestion
or disease of the liver, kidney or the
bladder. Mr. Shlvar makes you this
offer. Deposit $2 with him as a pledge
to return the demijohns, and he will
?hio you ten gallons of the water. If
it falls to benefit you, return the demilohn
and he will refund your $2. Tf the
10 gallons cures you it costs you only
*z. ir it doesn't cure you it costs vou
nothing. You are to be the judge.
