Henry on the 22d day of November, 1857. To this union were born six children, as follows: Lucy A. Henry, Albert C. and Arthur D. Henry and Mrs.

Clara J. Quackenbush, of Mahaska, Kansas, Warren C. Henry, of Hemet, and Emma Williamson, of South Dakota. She was converted at about the age of forty years and became affiliated with the Church of God, since which time she lived a consistent Christian life ornamented with a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Her Christian experience was very clear and beautiful, as assured her husband and children, during her last few hours with them, that Jesus was helping her bear her pain and suffering, and she cold look into the future and almost see the home prepared for her over there.

She said she wished she could take her loved ones in her arms and take them to Jesus, but she could not, as each one had to decide for himself. She was taken with a severe attack of the grippe last fall, from which she never fully recovered, but was able to be up and around the house most of the time. Friday evening she took suddenly ill and continued to grow worse until about six thirty Wednesday morning, when death relieved her suffering, which was very severe at times, yet she bore it all patiently. The mother was the first to be taken from this family, and her children were all with her when the final summons came, except the son who lives in California and the daughter who lives in South Dakota. Funeral services were held at the M.

E. church in Mahaska, conducted by Mrs. J. W. Dougherty, of the Church of God, of Beatrice, and interment made in the makaska cemetery.

Bonbam places, who deft here a little over a year ago, died at his home last Sunday, the body was brought to Reynolds and burial made in the Reynolds cemetery Tuesday. A letter from L. N. Hiatt, of St. Lawrence, S.

Mrs. I. Bonham, of Fairbury, is suffering from three broken ribs received in a fall while in California this winter.

Mrs. Bonham did not think that any bonea were broken when she fell and did not learn of the broken ribs until some time after she arrived home, when her side began paining her so that she called a physician and discovered what had happened. Next Sunday we will invite you to our Narka church. Two weeks ago we had good congregations, both morning and night. The more of you that come, the more inter.

esting we will try to make our services. Come with happy hearts and cheerful dispositions and drown your dull moods and unpleasant thoughts. The winter is passing away with its variety of weather and its different experiences. The plan of the universe seems to have planned the different seasons and various occupations of man for some wise purpose. Can it be in order to develop man to his highest standard of moral manhood? Man becomes stronger and healthier and is likely to live longer and do more good when he battles against the odds of nature.

Summer is the time to sow the seed and gather in the harvest to support life during the winter snows. This suggests that summer demands work, while winter allows play and different vocations. If we had all summer, there is danger of one burning out his fires of bition and wear out this automatic body of bone, muscle and nerves before it reaches its highest mission in life. But winter enters and a new set of muscles are set to action, leaving summer activities to rest and recuperate for the next season's operations. So, during one whole year, and from year to year, there isa succession of changes in the actions of the different parts of the body, which serves to rest some parts while other parts are strenuously acting, Night and day prove the same fact.

Man cannot endure long by working all the time. Night comes once in twentyfour hours, in order that the whole body may rest and restore strength which it expended the day before. It is said that the little child grows while it is asleep. While awake it romps about and expends more strength and vitality than it acquires by food in the waking hours. If we older people would observe this rule of taking the proper amount of sleep after a bard day's work we would be stronger and healthier, and better fitted to do the work required next day.

The mind needs rest, as well as the body. After a long time of thinking on the delicate and difficult questions which require the finest and deepest mental calculations, the mind becomes clouded and perplexed. It begins to lose some of its power and clearness in accurate mental perception. The mind needs rest. This it gets by the whole body becoming dormant for a short time.

Many a delicate problem has been solved by the mind when the body was asleep and the nerves were The faithful student in school will work out a difficult problem in a dream. The preacher often gets his best sermon while his body is dormant and his mental faculties alive. The lawyer will frame his pleas to the judge and jury while all the outside world is lost to him in darkness. The school teacher often dreams how best to discipline his school and methods best used to educate the child are born in a semi-conscious state. In every walk of life there seems a limit to one's continual activities.

There needs interruptions in order to refresh and revivify the physical and moral manhood to better and more efficient service. L. KEELER. Geo. Bonham went to Colorado on business Monday night.

Mrs.Bonham went to Belleville to visit relatives during his absence. ATTENTION, LADIES! HOW ABOUT THAT New Spring Suit or Coat?
