auges county N. April 26, 1825 and died in Waverly, March 12, 1895, aged 69 5 ears, 10 months, and 14 days. Had he lived until April 26, he would have reached the 70th milestone; the time alloted to man. He was raised in Portville, N. and was married Oct.

4, 1847, to MissJEmelino Jewell, who survives him. He leaves six children; JMrs. George Heild, Mrs. Willis Martin and Herman Betts Jonesville, Wisconsin, Ralph Betts of Chicago, 111., Mrs. John Popp of of Holden, and Miss Anor Betts of Waverly, Kas.

Also six grand children and one sister, Mrs. Wm. T. Jones of Waverly, and many other relatives with a host of fiiende to mourn sudden death. He moved from New York to Rockford, 111., in 1862, and to Waverly, in the fall of 1883, where he built a nice home which he occupied at the time of his death.

He was converted at a Methodist camp meeting held in Portville in 1852, and immediately identified himself with the M. E. church of that place, and during all the trials and vicissitudes attending his long life, ever kept his face Zionward. He was a beautiful singer and was often asked during our late revival meetings to sing some of the old time revival hymns, and it was a pleasure to listen to him. On the evening before his death, going home from his work, he talked with several different ones and seemed in his usual health and spirits; called at the home of his neice, Mrs.

C. II. McDuffie, to see his boys as he always called her little ones. While there in speaking of meetings, then in progress in town expressed himself in sympathy and good fellowship with all Christians, but declared he was an old-fashioned Methodist. Hespent the evening at home in reading and conversing with his wife.

He did not even complain of being tired, but seemed more than usually interesting and lively in conversation; retired in seemingly perfect health, and at thb break of day, suddenly and without warning his spirit took its flight to a better world, there to join loved ones gone before in singing the Songs of Moses and the Lamb. Baker. Last Sabbath morning just as the beautiful sun with all its luster was ushered in upon this world, the spirit of our beloved friend and sister, Mrs. Susan W. Blank Baker was borne from this world to the beautiful realms of light.

She was born in Westmoreland county, July 29, 1860. At an early age she moved to this state with her parents. She was united in marriage to Wm. Baker, July 4, 1892, since which time they have been residents of this community. She has been a Christian most all her life.

About six years ago she, with her husband, united with the M. E. church of this place. How we shall miss her cheerful voice and the sweet kindly spirit, that spirit of the Master, which characterized her every day life. Her home is left desolate, with a husband, two children, little Maggie, aged eight and Walter five years old, a father and mother, a largo circle of brothers and sisters, relations and friends.

The church has indeed lost a pillar, and the Epworth League one of its most faithful supporters. She worked for its interest until less than twenty-four hours before her death. Until the hour of her death her Sunday school jlass was the pride of her heart. God only knows how earnestly she labored and prayed for that class of young ladies. No morp will she greet us with that bright smile, and give the words of counsel and advice, but we feel that in following in the footsteps of our teacher we are following in the footsteps of Christ.

Six members of the class bore the casket from her home to the church. The church was filled to over-flowing with sympathizing friends, for everyone was -her friend. We feel she is safe with God. How bright and sparkling was her last testimony at prayer meeting Wednesday evening, when very near the river of death she assured us that Religion is not a failure. F.

Seven children survive her.

Anniversary of the Missionary Society Kansas Conference. That indefatigable laborer, Dr. A. B. Leonard, secretary of our board in New York, gave us an intensely interesting address which we would, by consultation of our feeling, say occupied the usual time of an ordinary sermon, but when we consulted our time piece we found that two hours had been consumed.

He tcok as his text Japan, with its varied costumes, unique scenery and interesting history. He said that Japan was composed of three thousand islands; he gave a glowing description of the location of the country; its beautiful bowers, flowery dells and numerous objects of interest. He took us along with him on. his -journey to this far off country. He sailed from San Introduction by Chaplain C.
