Iu Memorlam.
The iullowiug tribute was read be*
fore the Methodist Sabbath School last
Sunday:
Your committee, appointed to report
resolutions upou the death of Brother
Jesse J. Johusou, who recently depart
d this life, beg leave to submit the
following;
As far back as most of us can re
member Brother Jesse Johnson was an
earnest and zealous member of the
Sabbath school of this church, always
• rue and faithful to its interests, aud
he will be sadly missed in his place
here.
There is uo doubt that bis constancy,
zeal aud devoteduoss of purposo con
tributed largely to the fife that burned
and brightened iuto continued exist
ence the life of the Sunday school
here It was like the Vestal fire that
never went out, but always burned
through winter as well as summer.
What good he has done iu au iudirect
as well as a direct way will never be
known until the Great Assize shall
disclose the settled judgment of merit
to each and every one of the children
of men.
His faith was so well grounded that
uothiug could break it from its anchor
age in the depths of the love of God.
He was a pare Christian —and what
more could be said of him? This sim
ple expression, in our opinion, is the
highest encomium that can be paid to
man. In memory, therefore, of Broth
er Jesse J. Johnson, be it
Resolved Ist. That the McDonough
Methodist Sabbath School has lost
oue of its most faithful aud effective
members
Resolved 2d. That his constancy
and devotion marked him as an ex
ceptional devotee to the Sabbath school
cause.
Resolved 31. That we will treasure
his memory in tenderest recollection,
and strive finally to meet him in the
home of the good.
Resolved 4th. That as a Sunday
school, we tender heart-felt sympathy
to his stricken family, and commend
his pure example to them, as well as
all others, in hope of the happy union
above. Respectfully submitted,
G. W. Bryan,
H. L. Stansf.ll,

5 Sores
In combination, proportion and
process Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar
to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine possessed so
much curative power, or reached such
enormous sales, or made such won
derful cures, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
It is undoubtedly the best medicine
ever made to purify, vitalize and en
rich the blood.
That is the secret of its success.
Head this statement:
“When my son was 7 years of age, he
bad rheumatic fever and acute rheuma
tism, which settled in his left hip. He
was so sick that no one thought there was
any help for him. Five sores broke out
on his thigh, which the doctor said wore
Scrofula
sores. We had three different doctors.
Pieces of bone came out of the soreß. The
last doctor said the leg would have to be
cot open and the bone scraped, before he
could get well. Howard became so low
that he would eat nothing, and one doc
tor said there was no chance for him.
“One day, a newspaper recommending
Hood’s Sarsaparilla was left at our door.
We decided to try this medicine. Howard
commenced taking it the last of February,
after having been sick for a year and a
Cured
half. He hadn’t taken it a week before I
saw that his appetite began to improve,
and then he gained rapidly. 1 gave him
five bottles, when the sores were all healed
and they never broke out again. The
crutches he had used for four years were
laid aside, as he had no further use for
them. I give all the credit to Hood’s Bar
japarilla. Mrs. Ada L. Moody, Fay
Street, Lynn, Mass.
