Truly they are “gathered here and there.” First a youth bubbling with joy and song ; filled to the over flowing with the careless disre gard of an ever pi esent sum mons. Then a man, in the prime of life; secure in the success behind, ladened with hope fortlie days to come. Then the whitehaired Veteran of many stormy years; finding joy in being ever ready for the! Silent Messenger ami looking to an eternal reward. Death comes alike to all and . oft the same prayerful whisper that says “Thy will be done,” \\ hen the father dies, finds its wav into the Holy Presence in the company of a baby’s soul. No man knows when he shall be called, and oftentimes the strongest oak is the first to fall. o o o 1 have been thinking of the death of Dr. C. S. Harris, on yesterday. 1 was very much shocked when I heard it. He seemed in t'ne best of health when I last saw him and I had no idea but what he was to be among us for many, many days to come. Saturday afternoon 1 was lru"hing and talking witli him, and no man then would have said for one moment that his davs numbered less than ten years. And yet today he lies cold in death. Ob, how well do I know the feeling of those he leaves be hind. Dow well do 1 Know the anguish and pain that his sud den death has caused their hearts. Someone has said ‘’One touch of Nifture makes the whole world kin.” 1 know it is true. When the father leaves the fireside, it leaves a pain that never dies and never will go away until Death in his turn claims you also. They ’do not know yet how deep the wound is. They do not yet realize that his kindly counsel and advice is from henceforth forever denied th in. They do not yet realize that one always flowing spring of sympathy, forgiveness, good cheer ami heartfelt generosity has ceased to give forth its abundant and refreshing waters l and that beside its cooling banks they never more shall slake the thirst of a weary heart. o o o Dr. Harris was a kindly man and took life as a thing of beau ty and as something to be en joyed. For mo he always had a cher ry word. 1 used to see a great deal of him when he had his of fice with Reese & Whitehead, and at that time there somehow sprang up a friendship between us that never ended to the day of his death. He never said anything in my’ presence that was slanderous to his fellowmam, ami though we sometimes entertained different views upon given su jects, he always treated those who differ ed with him most considei ately. o o o As a Mason my acquaintance with him was necessarily limit ed, and yet I saw enough of him during the recent Masonic cele bration to know' that he stood high among the craftsmen and was a loyal, zealous Mason. The terms he used in speak ing of his church and his lodge impressed me very much. They bespoke a spirit of loyalty to each. o o o It is hard to realize that Dr. Harris is indeed dead. In his own peculiar way he was a ministering angel to some of the humbler people of this c immunity, and theie is many an aching heart in Rome today among the poor people on ac count of this good man’s death. As for me —I shall miss his hearty words of greeting and bis vigorous hand-shake. Somehow I always looked for a big smile when I saw him and I always had one in answer. 1 like that kind of a man ami I shall miss Dr. Harris. •J. B. N. On the morning of Fell* 20, 1895, 1 was sick with rheuma tism, and 1 lay in bed until May 21st, when I got a bottle ol (Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. The first appl cation of it relieved me almost entirely from the pain and the second afforded com plete relief. Ina short tinm 1 was able to be up and about again.—A. T. Moreaux, Luv erne, tylinn.
