Kev. M. F. Loomis, for six yeans the District Superintendent of the Colby District, passed away Wednesday, September 5th, at his home in Osborne, Kansas. Sunday, September 2nd, he preached both morning and night, was taken sick on Mondty and went to his reward on Wednesday.

During the six years he served the Methodist people of this district he came regularly to Oberlin and usually preached once, sometimes twice when he came to hold the quarterly ness meeting. During such visits he endeared himself to those he served as well as pastors and members of other denominations with whom he became acquainted. He was liberal, broad minded, an sweet spirited, loved by everybody who knew him. When the news of his death reached Oberlin Rev. Clark of the Presbyterian church happened to hear the remark that this was a great loss to the Methodist church, he immediately replied thereto that this was not only a loss to theM, E.

church but to the cause of Christianity, generally. A strong friendship had formed between these two men and Rev Clark felt keenly the loss of a close personal friend-After Rev Loomis had served this district as Superintendent as long as permitted under the church rules he was assigned the Osborne station and was still pastor of that people and greatly loved by them.when the end came. PA AND MA TO BLAME Too many boys and girls are being brought up to think that fine clothes and a good time is all there is to this lite. They have no home duties. They study no more if as much, than is atksolutely necessary to make their grades in school.

They have no manners. They have little or no religions training. They manage to get along until they must make their own way in the world, or they marry. Then trouble arrives swift and certain. Some of the marriages can be made to stick if only one of the high contracting parties have no no sense and doesn't know it.

Dramshops prevailed throughout the state and the evils of liquor were recognized. The first crusade against it was started at Olathe in Johnson county.

The town contained only a few hundred people but had four saloons, besides gambling dens and their evil resorts, an the better class of citizens, with a view of bettering conditions called a temperance convention to meet in the Congregational church in Olathe. Thirty or forty delegates from counties along the eastern border responded to the call. It was very soon apparent that the sentiment of the convention was not in favor of closing the saloons, but simply endeavoring to improve them morally. One of the resolutions submitted declared no license should be issued to keep a saloon until the applicant proved himself a man of good moral character. To this resolution, John P.

St. John, who was present, offered an amendment requiring that the saloon should that fools' paradise. -Cappers Weekly. FORGIVE Let not the sun go down on thy wrath. Let not the day cloee on a hard and unforgiving spirit.

Why not forgive? Hast thou no need of forgiveness And nothing grinds the heart of a man like hatred. When we hate, we are a millstone crunching, not on wheat but on flint. We are hurt by our hatred even more than our enemy. Fargiveness strenghtens our character. Forgiveness nurtures in us the divine.

Forgive, for then we pray Christ's prayer and we get his approbation. for Time's swift pinions Are bearing us along, And few may be our moments To do or suffer wrong; Forgtre as we would be forgiven."
