, I I
he member of Lebanon Presbyterian j
as, Church, wihere he had served faithhe
ully as a deacon for more than
n_ wenty years, and a treasurer for
li-j ust as long. His passing was
haracteristic of his life, whose chief
J eauty was its simplicity, in the path.
,r" of du''- At the day's end he rested
,rt by he wayside. "He walked with God,
t0 and was not; for God took him."
fl fl '
! Like all Christlike men, he gave
n" fresh significance to the name of
i'Christian". He needs no high sound0
ng terms of enlogy. It is enough to
lSj ay, "He was a Christian." In death

1 fo by helping others, in nis moaesc
" \ ay understanding what it means to
110 e a Chrisian. Truly may it be sai.

elements so mixed in him that Nature
night stand up and say to all the
world, "This was a man."

WILSON CHANGES s J
SUMMER PLAN ha

Washington, April 12.?President *'01
Wilson will not establish the summer ans
White House at Woods Hole, Mass., ex
as had been expected, but probably 0
will select some other place where ur
more accommodations are available
for the large staff of secretaries and
ttaches.
It became known today that the
nnouncement that the president had
selected the estate of Charles R. _J
Crane minister to China, for his sum- co?
mer home, was premature . The ^
president had accepted Mr., Crane's gai
ffer of a lease of the property, but wo
t had not been inspected by the
