§fhe Icrald and ^dcertisei;. Newnan, Ga., Friday, September 23,1887. 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.

Thompson then added a beautiful tribute to the remarks already gn en. 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 (Rev.) JAb. L. HALL, Chaplain Albany, N. Y., Penitentiary. P.
