IN MEMORIAM.
Services at the M. E. Church on Sun
day, Septemberllth, in Memory
of Earnest Scroffgin.
At the close of regular Sunday-school
services at the M. E. Church on Sunday,
September 11th, the school paid a last
6ad tribute to the memory of their de
parted friend, by appropriate memorial
services.
After singing by the school, the fol
lowing beautiful tribute was delivered
in a feeling' manner by Mrs. D. P.
Woodroof:
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep.
1887,
Gathered to God, August 14th,
Earnest Scroggin, aged 14 years.
A faithful young soldier has passed
“from the church militant to the church
triumphant.”
“Remember well that God is sweet
In life: In death, kneel at h's feet :--
Bweet in gladness, sweet in gloom—
Sweeter still beside the tomb.”
Though ill the beautiful morning of
life his sun went down, it has risen
upon another and a better shore.
Though on ’the threshold of a promising
manhood Death stilled his waking en
ergies, it but opened the doorway to a
nobler, higher sphere of action.
The clustering hones of relatives and
friends, though crushed as to time, are
tending to a most glorious climax in
eternity. . ^ ,,
Of a thoughtful, serious nature, the
community predicted for Earnest a use
ful, praiseworthy life. IIow little we
thought the Master would so early say,
“Come up higher.” We dreamed earth
ly honors‘would perhaps crown him;
but the Searcher of hearts said, “He is
worthy of an everlasting crown.” It is
truly said, “Whom the gods love die
young.” The sweetness and the bloom
of youth are perpetuated through the
cycles of endless ages.
‘IIow blest, never to know earth s
cares or losses ! How marked is God s
favor to the early dead ! Dear Earnest
leaves us no memories checkered by
sin to wound our tender sensibilities;
but a pure, unblemished record that
fills our hearts with gratitude to the
God who blesses us with such models
of Christian youth. Quiet, unobtrusive
yet .full of effective moral energy, how
sadly we shall miss him !
That eager, attractive face that was wont to
meet our eyes, „ „ . . .,
Now lovingly smiles upon us from the heights
of Paradise.
When we sing in his beloved Sabbatli-
school of the “Pearly Gates,” we will
softly whisper, “Earnest is already
there.” That soul-touching melody,
“Over There,” will sound sweeter, dear
er still; for he will be “Over There,”
“Where the jaspar walls are gleaming,
Where the trees of healing grow.”
Earnest lives, and lives forever !
“As twilight folds the tender flower,
So, let us fold his name in prayer.”
But the Star of Bethlehem gilds with
its glory the Christian’s night of be
reavement. The same angelic voice
that said “He is risen; he is not here,
speaks its loving comfort over his new-
made mound. The “De profundis of
sorrow lias sublimed 1,1 n, “ loto
of triumphant faith !
This brief, beautiful young life, shall
it bear no lasting fruit ? Embalmed in
love and sympathy, and covered over
with Love’s own spotless flowers, is
Earnest ours no more ? Will no subtle
influence, arising from his tomb, draw
us to consider our ways and be wise .
Will not father, mother, sister, brother,
be purer, truer, more consecrated,
knowing their family circle has begun
in heaven ? Since God lias taken your
treasure, does not “the still small Voice
whisper, “Give Me thine heart ?” _
2 W ill not schoolmates and young friends
cherish his memory tenderly, and emu
late his many budding virtues—espe
cially liis manly character and liis abid
ing love for the house of God r \\ ill
they not catch up the bright moral
weapons that fell from the hands of
this faithful young soldier, and snout
to the Captain of our Salvation, “The
breach is filled ?”
Bereaved ones, we do not chide your
tears. Jesus wept;—henceforth tears
are doubly sacred. “The surest way to
God is up the lonely stream of tears;—
on waves of tears no soul is lost. But
look far, far away from his empty chair,
—far, far away from his new-made
grave—to where he stands at the Pearly
Gates, “waiting and watching for you. ’
Shall he look in vain for the dear, fa
miliar faces of this Sabbath-school? Is
there an eye looking upon me to-day
that will fail to meet liis in joyful re
cognition ? Is there one here who will
fan to press liis eager, outstretched
hand?"
Onward press through the duties that, call us;
On wan* and upward, though sorrows betall us;
Knowing He chastens each son ot ins love,
Perfecting him thus for mansions above;--
Knowing our dead, with a beauty immortal.
Have passed with rejoicing heaven s blest
Knowing*!hose dear ones we’ve placed ’neath
the sod, , _ .
Tenderly sleep in the bosom oi God.
Bfo. Orlando McClendon, teacher of
the class to which deceased belonged,
then offered the following resolutions,
which were adopted by the school:
Resolved. That by the death of Ear
nest Scroggin this Sunday-school has
lost a valued member, who was e\ei
prompt in attendance, courteous anil
well behaved, and ever ready not onij
to learn but profit by the lessons here
imparted. Though young he was a iol-
iower of Christ, exhibiting in his daily
walk all those Christian virtues
expected.of those farther
vears; and in his death triumphing oyer
the grave and its terrors like an ola-
searred veteran of the Cross.
Resolved, further, That we are deep-
lv grieved at his death; bur our grief is
softened by the .thought that he lias
gone to a better land than this, and
that lie has received his rew ani.
Resolved. .furtherThat we tender
our sympathies to his family, and with
In response to a call from Bro. Foote,
almost the entire school came forward

to try to meet Earnest “oyer there.

Chaplain Hall Writes the Following Re
markable Letter.
Albany, N. Y., Express.
For many years my wife had been
the victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the
chronic, distressing anil apparently in
curable type from which so many- of
her sex suffer, languish and die. It was
all the worse because the tendency to
it was inherited. She hail been under
the systematic treatment of many of
the best physicians in New York and
Brooklyn and elsewhere for twenty
vears with only temporary relief. In
fact, there were few, if any, kinds of
food that did not distress her, so dis
eased, sensitive and torpid were all the
organs of digestion. The usual symp
toms of dyspepsia, with its comconn-
tant ailments, were all present—bail
taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold feet
and hands, the sense of a load upon the
stomach, tenderness on pressure, indi
gestion, giddiness, great weakness and
prostration, and fugitive pains in the h 037
sides, chest anil back. I have often
risen in. the night and administered
stimulants merely for the sake and
transient relief they gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in,
complicating the case and making every
symptom more pronounced and in
tense. By t-liis time the pneumogastric
nerves had become very seriously in
volved, anil she had chronic Gastritis,
anil also what I may be allowed to call
chronic intermittent malarial fever all
at once. For the latter the physicians
prescribed the good, old-tashioned,
sheet-anchor remedy, Quinine, gradual
ly increasing the doses, until—incrpdi-
ble as it may seem—she actuary took
THIRTY GRAINS A DAY FO'R -PAYSj IN
SUCCESSION. This could not last. The
effect of the quinine was, if possible,
almost as bail as the two-fold disease
which was wearing away her strength
and her life. Quinine poisoning was
painfully evident, but the fever was
there still? Aifiost every day there
came on the characteristic chill and
racking headache, followed by the
usual weakness and collapse. .
About this time I met socially -..my
friend Mr. Norton, a member- of the
firm of Chauncey Titus & Company,
brokers, of Albany, who, on hearing
from me tjiese facts, said: “Why, I
have been through almost the same
thing, and have got over it.” ‘ u hat
cured you?” I. asked eagerly. “Kas-
kine,” he said, “try it for your wife.
I had seen Kaskine advertised, but had
no more faith in it than I had in saw
dust, for such a case as hers. Mrs. Hall
had no higher opinion, yet on the
strength ot my friend’s recommenda
tion 1 got a bottle and began its use as
directed. • ..
Now recall what I have already said
as to her then condition, anil then read
wliat follows: Uiider the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
showed instant improvement, and the
daily fever grew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side these dis
eases vanished, as side by side they had
tortured their victim for ten years—the
dyspepsia alone having, as I have said,
existed for twenty years. Her appetite
improved from week to week until she
could eat and digest the. average food
that any well person takes, without
any suffering or inconvenience. V ith
renewed assimilation of 1 food came, of
course, a steady increase in flesh, until
she now looks like her original self.
She still takes Kaskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
! well I consider this result a scientific
miracle, and the “New Quinine” is en
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with Kaskine she used
no other medicine whatever.
If you think a recital of these facts
calculated to do good you are welcome
to make them public. _ 1TT
