The Prohibition Question in
Fulton.—Prohibition succeeded in
Fulton county by 228 majority. The
anti-proliibitionists had a majority
in Atlanta, but the county districts
overcome it and gave the prohibition
ists a majority of 228 in the county.
The manufacture of domestic wine
is not forbidden by law in the prohi
bition counties. It would seem that
this fact ought to give an impetus to
grape-growing in Georgia. There is
said to 1 >e very little drunkenness in
wine-growing countries, and very few
people v T ere ever known to get in
toxicated on domestic wine.
Since the Virginia election, a better
feeling exists everywhere in the
South between the white and colored
people. The latter, in the Virginia
election, in large numbers voted with
the Democrats and helped to elect
Fitzhugli Lee for Governor and give
tlis democrats a large majority in the
legislature. Lithe ignorance, which
so largely prevailed amongst them
they were frightened and misled by
the statement of the republicans, that
the deincorats if they got into power
would reinstate the institution of
slavery. The fear of this, for a long
time, made them the fast friends of
the republicans, but time has dispell
ed this delusion and shown them that
the democrats are their best friends,
especially tlie democrats of the South.
They ought to have seen sooner, how
grateful the southern people recog
nized their fidelity and kiudness du
ring the war. The truth is the fam
ilies of the soldiers were, in a great
measure, at the mercy of the slaves of
the South, who instead of putting the
torch to their dwellings, and murder
ing their wives and children, patiently
and faithfully shared their burdens
anij did everything in their power to
support anil protect them. The wri
ter has been in former years a great
historical reader, and the history of
the world presents nothing to com
pare with the fidelity and kindness
of the slaves of the "South to their
masters and mistresses. We can call
to mind not a solitary instance in
which they put the torch to their
dwellings, or murdered the wives and
children of soldiers who were far from
home sacrificing their lives on bloody
battle-fields. The actual truth is,'
many thousands of our women and
children were at the mercy of the
slaves. Instead of burning their
dwellings and destroying their lives,
they toiled in summer’s heat and
winter's bitter cold to feed and pro
tect them. They ought to have soon
er seen that it was impossible for the
people of the south to overlook or for
get the obligations they were under
to their slaves; and we have not the
least doubt that had the South been
successful in the war the slaves would
all have become free by a gradual
emancipation with immediate provis
ional and successive arrangements,
that -would have made them much
more happy and prosperous than they
are. Many leading men desired to
emancipate them w r hile the war was
progressing, but that policy it was
feared, would at that time cause
many slave-holders to be less ardent
if not totally indifferent in the causj
of the secession of the slave-holding
states. It is now evident that our
former slaves are now convinc
ed that the Southern people are
not disposed to re-inslave them if they
could, and are their firmest and best
friends in the confederacy, the union,
or whatever our national association
may be termed. We say this, because
of all the associations of the people of
the world, we of the great American
people are the only people of the
eartii who have no political or nation
al name.
Who shall be Commissioners of Tech
nology?
The Act provides that five commis
sioners appointed bv the Governor
shall establish this School as a De
partment of the University, and there
after shall oonstitute, in perpetual
succession, a Local Board for the
management of the Department, un
der the orders of the Trustees of the
University. A Local Board without
any single local member were an un
heard of anomaly. The Trustees of
the Asylum are not legally a “Local
Board,” yet wisely a majority of them
live in the county where the" Asylum
is situated. As it is uncertain where
the Technology School will be located,
surely each of the competing cities
should have one, so as to assure one
resident member of the Commission
or Local Board of Trustees.
This is too evident for controversy.
Competency should not be sacrificed
to locality; but both should be recog
nized and secured. ~ ~
Death of the Vick President.—
Thanksgiving festivities are tempered
with sorrow by the startling and un
welcome intelligence of the death of
the eminent Vice-President of the
United Btates, Thomas A. Hendricks.
Many party hopes were built upon his
surviving, all of which have been
dissolved by ail inexorable summons
from the affairs of this world. He was
one of the ablest and best beloved of
orr public men. and his loss comes
liometo many thousands of Americans
as a personal calamity. We can but
bow to the Omnipotent, and trust
that “higher realms than this are his
again.”—Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. Hendricks’ body, which was
embalmed on tiie 26th. will remain at
his late residence till Sunday noon,
when it will be removed to the court
house, where it will lie in state until
Monday evening. The local military
companies and detachments of the
regular army are doing guard duty.
The funeral services will be held at
St. Paul's Cathedral on Tuesday noon.
Dr. Jenckes, the Rector, and f)r Ful
ton, of St. Louis, officiating. The
services will be those of the Episcopal ,
Church, and there will be no sermon j
or memorial address. The burial will I
take place at Orownhill, north of In- !
dianapolis. < lovernor Gray will issue
a memorial proclamation to the cit-i- ,
zens of the State this evening. The |
State House is already covered with !
emblems of mourning." All the public i
offices and business houses will be !
closed on the day of the funeral.

THE SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
The school of technology should be
located in the centre of the State,
either at Macon or Milledgeville. A
school for mechanics would not flour
ish alongside of the aristocratic^ State
University. That good fellowship
ought to exist between students of
these institutions, we admit, but that
such would not be the case, .we are
compelled to believe, from tiie history
of the past and our knowledge of hu
man nature.—Milledgevilie Union.
Such statements as the above are
calculated to injure not only the Uni
versity but Athens. It is inexplicable
to us why the impression exists abroad
that the University here is a rich
man’s college. The Legislature has
made it a free institution, and its
doors are open to deserving young
men of all conditions in the "State.
There is no college aristocracy here ;
the young men have no false notions
of pride and are not so lacking in
common sense as to consider a poor boy
in any way their inferior. The record
here, so far as our knowledge extends
is that boys of moderate fortunes get
along better than their more fortunate
companions. They are harder stu
dents and are less attracted by the
glitter and dross of society. They de
rive more benefit, and do" the Univer
sity more credit than the idler of ele
gant leisure. There is not a home in
Athens closed to a student of good
morals and character. He is welcome
wherever he goes, and our people are
as kind and considerate in their rela
tions towards him as they are to the
scion of the oldest and proudest fami
ly in Georgia. It is time that this sense
less prejudice against Athens and the
University was dying out, and we are
surprised to see editors of intelligence
and respectability lending their aid
to an encouragement of this idea. The
press of the State should co-operate
and build up the University, and
make the nursery of Georgia's future
rulers popular and influential through
out the whole State.—Athens Chroni
cle.
We agree with the Union & Record
er in locating the school of Technol
ogy at Macon or Milledgevilie, instead
of at Athens, but not for the same
reasons. Our preference is for Macon,
and has been all the time, both be
cause lit is central, and because to
that city and her people more than
any other are we indebted for the law
creating the school. We protest
against the University being called
aristocratic or a rich boy’s school.
Many of the poorest young men of
the State have been and will continue
to be educated there, and it is an in
sult to Athens and a libel upon the
University to say a poor young me
chanic seeking elevation would be
insulted by coining in contact either
with that people or the students of
the University. We were educated at
Emory, a denominational school, but
have always been an admirer and de
fender of the State University. And
we hope yet to see it occupy that
proud position which her founders
had in view when it was chartered.
Never let a Georgia editor at least
decry his State University, but rather
increase its facilities and enlarge its
usef illness.—Madisonian.
In reply to the above, we disclaim
any intention or desire to injure the
the State University. We, however,
honestly believe that “the nursery of
Georgia’s future rulers” is not the best
place to educate Georgia's future arch
itects and builders. The agricultural
land scrip was wrongfully given to the
University, and the effort to engraft
an agricultural department upon this
great classical school, not only result
ed in no practical good, but was a
complete failure, at Athens. The
school of Technology should not en
counter the danger of perishing in a
similar way.
The best location for our great me
chanical school is now the important
question, and will, doubtless, be thor
oughly canvassed by the Commission,
when it is appointed.
Milledgevilie, the honored old capi
tal of Georgia, with its grand old
State House and Executive Mansion,
and other buildings, with about fifty-
acres of land, already the property of
the State ; its central location, line
climate and excellent railroad facili
ties, can present inducements for the
school of Technology unexcelled, if
equalled, by any other city in the
State. And we can inform our broth
er Blackburn of the Madisonian, that
the idea of a school of Technology in
this State, originated with a Milleilge-
ville man, as a suitable use for the
valuable property abandoned here by
the removal of the capital to Atlanta.
And when the act passed creating our
college, our people fondly dreamed
that tiie foundation of a school of
Technology was laid, but it turned
out only a branch college. We do not
depreciate our college ; it is a noble
institution and is doing good work;
and our city has shown its appreciation
of it by giving $2,000 annually for its
support. But its future is uncertain !
The Unive: sity has cut off $800 of its
appropriation for the present year,
and claims the right to withhold its
support at any time. Then what be
comes of the State's property here?
The precious memories that cluster
about these old buildings appeal to
the people of Georgia to use them for
her educational interests on a solid
and enduring foundation. The school
of Technology is the opportunity.
Messrs. Daly and Armstrong.
There is nothing in New York, Lon
don, or Paris, that is superior to the
lustrous and superlative goods which
lie upon their shelves and counters.
Mr. Armstrong, who is endowed with
every talent for a statesman, has cho
sen a mercantile life and he adorns it
with superlative integrity. Mr. Daly
is a Prince in taste and his emporium
rivals anything that may be found in
New York, London or Paris. Every
thing to please, to last, and give uni
versal satisfaction is found in this
great Augusta establishment. It com
bines all that is beautiful and excel
lent. But at the same time we would
be unjust to this great firm to omit
saying they have a complete line of
goods to suit those who may not de
sire to purchase the most elegant and
costly character of goods. They have
made preparation to suit all classes of
purchasers, and their polite assistants
give equal attention to all customers
whether rich or moderately blessed in
fortune. We happen to know that a
lady, of exquisite taste, in Charleston
is pleased to make some of her pur
chases of this Augusta House, aud
another lady, of Wilkes county, of
siniiliar taste, where the writer lived
for over thirty five years, after exam
ining goods and prices in other places
and among them in Atlanta, gives
preference to this splendid House of
Messrs. Daly A Armstrong of Augus
ta. No matter what one may want,
whether a wedding dress of richest
satin, embossed velvet, or brocade, or
a plain dress for an old father, or
grandmother, it can be found at
Messrs. Daly A Armstrong's of the
best material and the cheapest prices.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The foreign news of the 24th, shows
that the Servians have been complete
ly routed by the Bulgarians; said to
have been caused by the disobedience
of orders by the Servian General J. O.
Vanovitch. This General when dis
missed from his command committed
suicide by shooting himself with a re
volver.
Prince Alexander stormed the
heights of Tzaribrod on the 2:!rd
where the Servians were entrenched,
and driving out the Servians was re
ceived with enthusiasm by the inhab
itants. The Servians are all reported
as being driven out of Bulgaria. It
is reported that King Milan, of Servia,
has decided to abdicate the throne,
and that the name of Prince Harage-
orgevitch is on every lip to be his suc
cessor. It is stated that Austria is op
posed to him as the successor of Milan.
That was received by Austria as a
failure to sustain the views of Austria
on the question between Bulgaria
and Servia. They undoubtedly think
that the Servian defeat was caused by
the incapacity of the Servian com
mander.
A few thousand British troops num
bering about 15,000 are overrunning

HENDRICKS’ DEATH.
Indianapolis, November 25.—Vice-
President Thomas A. Hendricks died
suddenly at his home to-day at five
o’clock.
Thomas Andrew Hendricks was
born in Muskingum county, Ohio,
September 7th, 1813. In 1822 his teth
er settled in Shelby cowitv, Indiana.
Thomas graduated in South Hanover
college in 1841, studied law at Chain-
bersburg, Pa., was admitted to the
bar there in 1848, and returned to In
diana to practice. In 1848 he was a
member of the legislature, and in 1850
a delegate to the state constitutional
convention. From 1851 to l&55he rep
resented the Indianapolis district in
congress, from 1855 to 1859 was com
missioner of the General Land office,
and from 1863 to 1869 was a member
of the United States senate, in which
he was regarded as the democratic
leader.
In the democratic national conven
tion of 1868, in New York, he was
strongly supported for the nomina
tion to the presidency. As candidate
for governor of Indiana he was de
feated in 1860 and 1868, but -was elect
ed in 1872 for the term ending Janua
ry 1, 1877. He continued the practice
of law until his election as governor.
While governor of the state, he was
nominated by the national democrat
ic convention which met in St. Louis,
in 1876, as a candidate for the vice
presidency, on the ticket with Samuel
J. Tilden. This ticket received a ma
jority of the votes cast for that elec
tion, and was fairly entitled to a ma
jority of the votes of the electoral col
lege, but was counted out by a repub
lican returning board, which gave to
Hayes and Wheeler, the republican
candidates, the votes of Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana, each of which
had gone democratic, but were count
ed, republican on the charge of fraud
at the ballot boxes. This gave the
offices to Hayes and Wheeler by the
vote of 185 to 184.
Governor Hendricks retired to pri
vate life, but in July 1884, he was nom
inated again for the vice-presidency,
on the ticket with Grover Cleveland,
by the ■ national democratic conven
tion which met in Chicago. Cleve
land and Hendricks were elected in
November 1884, defeating Blaine and
Logan, the republican nominees.
They entered upon the discharge of
the duties of their respective offices
March 4tli, 1885.
Indianapolis, November 25.—Mr.
Hendricks died this afternoon at 5 p.
m., under circumstances that were
particluarly distressing to his family
aud friends", insomuch as they had not
anticipated a fatal termination of his
brief illness, and nobody was with
him when the end came. He return
ed from Chicago Saturday last, and
since then had been complaining
somewhat of a pain in his head and
breast, but nothing serious was
thought of it. Last night he and Mrs.
Hendricks attended a reception given
at the residenoe of the Hon. John
Cooper, treasurer of th'e state, return
ing home in their carriage about mid
night. Mr. Hendricks had taken off
the heavy clothing which he usually
wore anil put on a dress suit of lighter
materia], and before he got home he
complained of chilliness and a certain
degree of exhaustion, but attributed
it to malarial influences. He sat by
the lire for an hour or more before
retiring, but declined to send for
physician, although urged to do so.
He slept restlessly until about 8
o'clock this morning, when he arose,
dressed himself and ate quite a hearty
breakfast, saying that he felt much
better, and would attend to consider-
ble delayed business during the day.
He and" Mrs. Hendricks walked out
t for nearly half and hour, and he had
’ apparently regained liis physical vig
or and cheerfulness. An hour later,
however, he began to be troubled
with pains in the region of the stom
ach, and Mrs. Hendricks sent for the
family physician, Dr. W. C. Thomp
son, "the lifelong and confidential
friend of the vice president, who-re
lieved his pain. He arose from his
bed in which he had lain only a few
minutes, and read the morning pa
pers, talking cheerfully with his wife
and an old house servant. Just be
fore noon he had a relapse, however,
and a physician was again summoned
and administered the usual remedies,
besides bleeding the patient, and Mr,
Hendricks again expressed himself as
being greatly relieved.
He remained in his room all the af
ternoon, occasionally rising in his
bed, to which he was compelled to re
turn by the recurrence of the abdomi
nal pains. To all callers who came,
and they were numerous, he sent
word that he was indisposed, but
would be glad to see them to-morrow.
About 4.30 o’clock Mrs. Hendricks,
who had been at his bedside all day,
went down into the parlor to see a
caller, who had come to consult with
her regarding the affairs of a reforma
tory institution, of which she was one
of "the managers, and she remained
with him about twenty minutes.
THE HOUR OK DEATH.
Tom, a colored servant, and Harry
Morgan, Hendricks’ nephew and page
in Washington, remained with him.
The servant went out and Morgan
stayed. Hendricks tossed uneasily in
liis'bed aud complained of great pain,
but suddenly it seemed to cease, and.
he said to his nephew:
“I am free at last, send for Eliza,”
(meaning his wife.)
These were his Iasi words, for the
young man, not realizing the urgency
of tiie message, did not deliver it at
once. J ust before five o’clock, Mrs.
Hendricks came into the room and
found that her husband was dead.
The end of a long and eventful life
hail come peacefully and quietly. He
lay on the bed outside of the covering,
only partially disrobed, with his eyes
half closed as if he were in a gentle
sleep. On his face there were no
traces of grief or suffering, but the
pallor liad come over it that indicated
only too plainly that he had passed
away. It needed no close examina-
tion to tell that he was dead, and Mrs.
Hendricks screamed and ran down
stairs. A servant was dispatched to
the residence of Dr. Thompson ad
joining, aud he came immediately,
but by the time he had reached the
bedside, the limbs of the distinguish
ed man were becoming cold and rigid,
and to Mrs. Hendricks’ pathetic ap
peal,
“Oh! Doctor, can’t you do some
thing?"
He was obliged to answer:
“It is too late.”
Mrs. Hendricks became almost dis
tracted with grief, and it was an hour
or more before she became sufficient
ly composed to give any information
about her husband's last moments.
The family servants, two of whom had
lived with’ Hendricks for years, ran
about the house crying and moaning,
and there was the utmost confusion
fur a time.

An Uncertain Fat*.
ALEX ETHRIDGE, THE NOTORIOUS
THIEF, HAS A MIDNIGHT CALL.
Sparta, November 26.—A party of
about twenty-five well armed men
surrounded the house of Sheriff Stew
art at 12 o’clock last night and com
pelled him to go with them to the jail
and to deliver to them the notorious
burglar, Alex Ethridge, ALIAS Ike
Watson, who was recently re-captur-
eil in Baldwin county. It will be re
membered that this man committed a
number of bold burglaries about Lin
ton, in this county, more than a year
ago. During a Baptist convention
near that place, he entered the house
of Mr. Ivey W. Duggan, and stole
among other valuables, three gold
watches. After this performance he
was captured in Macon for some simi
lar deed, but in the trial he feigned
lunacy so successfully that the jury
sent him to the asylum. From that
institution he escaped in a short time,
and was captured recently and turned
over to authorities here. An effort
A’us made to have him brought to
trial here, but Judge Lumpkin order
ed the sheriff to turn him over to the
officers from Bibb county t-o be tried
again there. The fear that Ethridge
would again succeed in his lunacy
scheme and thus evade punishment
and carry on his burglarizing seems to
have prompted this bold action by
the men who took him from jail.
is bastard production, this politi
cal “child of nobody,” is the engine
useetbo crush the present mayor and
aldamen of this eitu, With their re-
if th ay design wo notiae it at ail,
I have nothing to do. But R charges
that the Mayor, Saiu'l. Walker, “took
one hundred and fifty dollars of your
money out of the city treasury to pay
his attorneys in the suit of Stanley vs.
Walker etc. The firm of DuBignon
& Whitfield defended Mr. Wanker,
aud for them I propose to state some
facts in connection therewith for the
benefit of tax-payers. This case grew
out of the official acts of Mr. Walker,
as mayor, and was the sequence of his
efforts in that transaction to preserve
the peace, order and tranquility of
the city according to his official oath.
The suit was brought against him in
dividually. but it was predicated on
his endeavors to enforce the ordinan
ces of the city. He employed his own
counsel and proposed to pay his own
contract, and just after the case was
disposed of iu the Superior Court,
July Term, 1885, the following action
was taken by the City Council in its
regular session, August 4th, 1885, to-
wit:
“Resolved, That the Clerk be di
rected to pay DuBignon & Whitfield
one hundred and fifty dollars for de
fending the Mayor in the suit brought
against him by Z. T. Stanley in Bald
win Superior Court—adopted.” This
appears on the Council minutes, page
453, and was duly published in the
next issue of the “Chronicle.” Does
it appear that this was done in a dark
corner, and so that no citizen should
know the truth of the conduct of city
affairs? Why say, “he took” that fee
out of the city treasury, when the
facts are the other way?
The ordinances prohibit the Mayor
from controlling the treasury, and
the Treasurer dare not, at the peril of
his official bond, pay out any money,
exceeding the sum of ten dollars, save
after the board of aldermen have so
ordered. The mayor's duties are de
fined expressly by section 74 of the
city code, and he could not have ob
tained the money except by the order
of the council, or by forcibly taking
it from the Treasurer. This, the oppo
nent of Mayor Walker, Capt. C. W.
Ennis, knows full well, I am sure,
even if the aforesaid anonymous scrib
bler does not.
The action of the council was pure
ly voluntary and unsolicited by Mr.
Walker; and in just recognition of the
wrong which had been done to Mr.
Walker, when he had been harrassed,
and annoyed, and oppressed with
causeless anil groundless suits be
cause of his firm and courageous exe
cution of the city laws, that body
thought it right, fair and just to at
least share a portion of the burden of
the expense so needlessly put upon
him—and hence the resolution.
Mr. Walker paid the other half of
the fee and was perfectly willing to
pay all. •
YVhat then must be the motive
that creates such stuff as this mani
festo? Will any fair aud resonable mind
undertake to say, that it is disinteres
ted and proceeds only from a purely
patriotic heart? If so, let me enquire
—why did not such patriotism take
shape by calling the tax payers atten
tion at the time to this matter, or by
asking the courts to stop this reckless
waste and corrupt use of the oitizeus
money by these venal city officials?
Surely this indignant and outraged
patriot has not been wrapt in a “Rip
Van Winkle slumber.”

Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 25th.
According to previous appointment
the Milledgeville Business Union met
at Amusement Hall, President Samuel
Walker in the Chair.
Minutes of last meeting read and ap
proved.
An invitation was then extended to
all who wished to become members to
have their names enrolled which met
with a hearty and prompt response,
the Secretaries enrolling the names of
sixty-nine citizens. The Committee
appointed on constitution and by-laws
submitted thirteen rules for the gov
ernment of the body, all of which
were unanimously adopted, and so
amended as to extend the benefits of
the union to Baldwin county as well
as to the city.
Very earnest and encouraging letters
were read from Dr. T. O, Powell and
Dr. T: H. Kenan who were invited to
address the Union but who could not
attend. The other gentlemen ap
pointed to address the meeting all re
sponded in a spirit which showed
‘There’s life in the old land yet.’
Mr. Lumpkin made a telling speech
mentioning our many advantages
and calling attention to many indus
tries which he believed coaid be suc
cessfully inaugurated aud profitably
maintained.
Mr. Joseph said there were no real
difficulties in our way. It was only a
question as to whether we were
ready to go to work as men for the ad
vancement of our interest, that we
must not depend alone upon talk
but must work. As members of this
Union we must all do whatever we
were appointed to do. He thought
the School of Technology should be
located here, and that it was our
duty to exert ourselves to that
end.
Mr. Goetchius said that he had no
speech to make. He knew of nothing
hecouldsayto interest the assembly,
but simply arose in response to a call
as a representative of the young men
of the city and county, with the firm
conviction that the young men were
loyal to their trust and would promise
that when the time for action came
they would be found ready to put in
to execution any plans the older and
wiser heads matured.
Mr. Henry Wootten responded to
a call with a written essay, advocating
push, energy, aud persistent effort;
mentioning many material improve
ments needed, and reading a letter
from Col. Frobel of Atlanta on the
subject of our valuable unimproved
water power, giving facts and figures
in regard to its volume, fall, and feasi
bility of improvement. Mr John T.
Allen made a brief, and very eloquent
speech emphasizing the necessity for
harmony of purpose and unity of ac
tion and expressing the confident
hope that future Milledgeville would
tell the story of our faithful work.
Col. Robert Whitfield in his usual
happy style depicted in glowing colors
the future possibilities of Milledgeville.
But said he wished to deal frankly
with the past and after naming a few
enterprising citizens as honorable
exceptions to the rule, strongly inti
mated that in the past Milledgeville
bad been a sleeping giant. He hailed
with joy these evidences of the down of
a new day, when she would awake to
the grandeur of her surrounding, and
shake off the lethargy of a long night
to move forward in one united effort
towards the realization of the bright
hopes expressed here to-night.
On motion of Mr. L. H. Compton a
committee of three was appointed to
investigate and report upon some
practical plan for the establishment of
Gas works or auy other improvement
which may suggest itself to their
minds, consisting of Messrs Joseph
Staley, H. Turner J. W. McMillan,
also a committee of three was appoin
ted to ascertain whether or not a
stock company could be mad* np to
carry out said plans, consisting of L.
H. Wood, S. Barrett and T. F.
Newell.
A telegram being received announc
ing the death of Vice President Hen
dricks, Mr. Lumpkin offered the fol
lowing:
Resolved, That in the death of Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks the republic
has lost a faithful officer and distin
guished patriot, and the democratic
party one of its worthiest chiefs. With
deepest sympathy for his State and
family we bemoiirn his death as a
public calamity.

was at
long spell ‘-at sickness. Fit three
lMtiths IKe hail trembled in the bal
anfte. Whlh she came back from the
grave's mouth, she started for the
kingdom. It is doubted if she ever
halted one moment. It is doubted if
she ever knowingly turned aside one
step. It is known that henceforth she
resolutely set her “face as though she
would go to Jerusalem." And though
her pathway led through trials oft
and Bore through temptations mani
fold and, sometimes, terrible—and
thoogh bodily afflictions which per
haps never entirely lifted one day, yet
her face never turned, and her heart
never looked back. Frail and feeble
as she was, she put in 14 years of hard
toil for the Master—such toil as not
many ohristians choose, and yet just
such as He puts, side by side, with the
loftiest devotion, “I was sick and ye vis
ited me.” This is devotion, if it springs
from love to Him—a sweet expression
of “the mind that was in Him.” She
did it persistently, unceasingly, and
of joyous free-will. Noblest of all, her
devotion to the sick was the devotion
of service—hard service—sleepless and
unwearied watching and waiting by t he
couch of palefaced suffering. Some of
her nearest friends think she shortened,
even her short life by such service. I
doubt. And if she did, she now strikes
her highest note, as her loving M .as
ter says, “Ye di{I it unto me." She
was as timid as a bird, save where du
ty called and gentle as a lamb all her
days. She was often troubled with
doubts and fears. They c'ouded her
sky up to the last two years. This
may nave resulted, in small part,
from ill health, but toward the close,
even increasing ill health conld not
obscure her vision. I do not men
tion her doubting as an element of ex
cellence in her character. Her rap
tured soul would check me. if I did.
She saw, and is now seeing more
clearly, that all doubting—no matter
by whom, and, no matter what the
pressure—is a grief to our loving
Fatter. If her tongue could speak
only one word to the “fearful ones”
of earth, that word would be “Let
not your heart be trobled, neither let
it be afraid.” She lived—and she
died. This world of suffering is poorer
for her death, but it is richer for her
life. That is enough!
