110 WEST EIGHTH ST. (y 0:0:0:0:0:010:010:0: J.W.TINCHER, and adventure which has characterized his whole life, he left his native State when about 21 years of age. June 30, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Hodge, of Marion county, Kentucky. In a few years he became a preacher of the Gospel. As pastor of churches here and there throughout the State of Kentucky, he labored for many years.

Perhaps more of his time, however, was spent as an evangelist. He would leave his own flock for a period, from time to time, to obey the Masters call in many sister States. Much ardent and effectual work was done in Mississippi, Georgia, Missouri, and Illinois. Once our dear brother was engaged in a revival, and while people thronged to hear him, yet for one whole month there was not a convert. In spite of this, he continued for two weeks longer, and 100 came out on the Lords side.

Hisfaithful wife expired July 9, 1872. Indicative of her life, the dying lips repeated: I see Him; I see Him. Thus was ended on earth the union of mother with husband and ten children. In January, 1873, Brother Harrington removed to Illinois, and about twenty years ago came to Tecumseh, Kas. The life has been so full and varied that a volume would scarce contain the details.

P. S. C. E. Union held a Good Citizenship and Temperance Union meet ing at the Congregational church, November 27.

Mr. J. C. Grout contributed a solo to the C. E.

music. Miss Serena Pratt and Miss Qaisy Starr have led the music during the month. Mr. G. C.

Grout has become an active member of the society and Mr. Kittridge Been has been reinstated after his long absence from the city. Christian Endeavorers have brought contributions for the poor on each consecration evening of late. Quite a large amount of provisions have been gathered. The November social took the form of a reception tendered Pastor Thomas and church by the C.

E. It occurred on the 15th, too late for notice in our last issue. The auditorium of the church was converted into a parlor and tastefully decorted with pictures, palms, etc. The following choice classical and literary program was given: Piano solo, Prof. Harvey Worrel; vocal solo, Miss Edna Morrow; piano solo, Miss Herman, of Colorado Springs; song, Davis sisters; reading, Miss Maude Smith; piano solo, Miss Catherine Smith; vocal solo, Mr.

Jesse Cook; piano solo, Prof. Harvey Worrel. President T. J. Scott presided, and, in a well-ordered speech, presented Dr.

Thomas with a morocco-bound set of the Self-Interpreting Bible. The gift represented a large per cent of the membership of the church. Dr. Thomas, though visibly much surprised, was equal to the occasion and responded with a taking speech, thanking his people for their remembrance. The affair was a numerical, artistic, musical, literary and social success.

The last business meeting of the C. E. Society, for 1898, was well attended. This was followed by a social hour, in which a short program was given, consisting of the reading of proof-sheets of a Special edition of the Visitor, by Mr. Chas.

Eldridge and Mr. Jaines Brins-maid, and many were the jolly hits among the locals and editorials. Miss May Hawley then recited, in a very pleasing manner, The Railway Matinee. This was followed by the Pastor reading the contents of a Box of suggestions for 1898. We believe the committee is planning for especial features along the line of social work for the coming year (1899) and with a view of acquainting young people with our society, and, by the aid of Gods holy spirit, save them.

And, in this connection, a remark may be timely, in that the active workers of our, C. E. make it a personal matter to' invite those not members of other churches to attend our socials, and, as opportunity presents, never fail to refer to the religious meetings of the C. E. We should not lose sight of the fact that, while our socials are a source of pleasure to us, they give opportunities of winning souls.

Dr. Conwell told us in that sermon on Go, that, by distributing some forty members among their sacred concert audiences of 2,500, they would, during intervals between parts, acquaint friends, learn of their surroundings, and invite them to some religious meeting the results were very gratifying. We must not lose sight of the real object of our social work. W. S.

W. KIEHL, Manager. At Best. John Marion Chesney died at his home, 420 Lawrence street, Thursday, ber 2, 1898 at 9 oclock, of consumption. He had been sick many months and death was not unexpected.

His last weeks were spent in hearing and learning more and more of the Word of God, and his only fear seemed to be that he was not humble enough. He met death like a Christian, and only regretted leaving his family. He was born in Abingdon, 111., November 30, 1845. Came to Kansas in 1868. Had been a resident of Topeka thirty years.

He leaves a wife and two children, four brothers E. A. F. and O. M.

Chesney, of Topeka; W. E. Chesney, of Cottonwood Falls, and a sister, Mrs. W. E.

Merricks, of Abingdon, 111., to mourn his loss. The funeral was held at his late residence, on Friday, at 2 oclock. The remains were interred in the Topeka cemetery.
