A MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Churches in Chestertown, Pa , Held
Appopriate Services in Honor of Rev
Henry Gilland.
A union service of the Methodist
and Presbyterian congregations
was held in the Presbyterian church,
Sunday morning, in memory of
the late Rev Heny Gilland. The
church was well filled with those
who had known Mr Gilland during
his years of residence in Chestertown,
and who paid this tribute of
respect to his memory. The pastor
of the church spoke from Hebrews,
xi, 4, "He being dead, yet speaketh."
Among other things he said: "The
materials for a complete life sketch
of our brother who has departed
to be with Christ are not in my possession.
Nor would he desire that
at this t'me and in this house we
, pronounce any eulogy. Rather let
me pnt into words some of the
thoughts that hare been in our
minds during the past few days.
For oue thing we hare been taught
lessoQsin patience. Patience in the
sense of resignation to God's will,
awaiting events with calmness and
without diseoutent; patience in the
moie active sente of the bearing up
nnder burdens, suffering of body and
distress of mind; patience was without
mariner or complaint?has been
exemplified in our midst. We have
had practical, living comment ou
the words of the apostle Paul 'Endure
hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesns Christ.' May the example of
our captain, and of our fellow soldier
be before us for inspiration and
encouragement. We have had an
example, too, of the conscientious
and faithful performance of seme of
the outward duties of religeou. As
often as health and strength permitted,
this one whom we respected
found his delirhts in the house of
the Lord, and the worship of God
there. In these times when we are
inclined to make the performance
of these dutiesa matter of disposition
or convenience, we cannot do
better than to ask ourselves w hether
after all this is the way to develop
well-rounded Christian character.
Will it not be better to substitute
for inclination and feeling duty
and its conscientious performance?
And can we not say with greatei
confidence that a life of gentleness
and qniet still has its influence in s
community? Cannot the bed of sickness
become a source of great power!
Who can tell how great is.the influ
enoe that radiates from the bed of
patient suffering through a commu
uity? It is still possible in our daj
to represent a Christian by a lighl
with its clear and steady flame,
showing the great light of the world
to men. None of ua in the pres?

i of onr brother's life. The secret of
I his life was in its personal relationship
to Jesus. Jesas Christ was to
him both Saviour aud Lord. His
faith was therefore a rebuke to those
who magnify Christ as an example,
but do not accept Him as a ledeemer

| the only safe thing to do, according

from onr limbs, we are ready to be

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL
As to the Florence Times' Report of
Impending Failure in Lake City.
Lake City, October 27:?We are
reliably informed that the Florence
; Times of one day last week contain!
ed the statement that failures were
! expected in Lake City and in Timjmonsville.
We do not know any!
thing about the condition of the
business houses of Timraonsville but
we do know something of Lake City's
merchants?in fact we are satisfied
that we are better posted as to the
business of this town than the Florence
Times, and we say most emphat
ically that if there is a single genuine {
[merchant in Lake City who is even
cramped, we know nothing of it. By
genuine merchant we mean to exclude
one-horse shop keepers who
never had any credit and whose failure
would hurt only such houses as
extend credit upon no financial backing
or property basis. And we make
the further assertion that no town of
this section of equal size and volume
of business can show fewer failures 1
during the last 6ix years than this
one. It seems to us that the time is
at hand when the Times should be
less reckless in making such statements.

CONFESSIONS OF A PRIEST.
Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark.,
writes, "For 12 years I suffered from
Yellow Jaundice. I consulted a
uumber of physicians and tried all
sorts of medicine?, but got no relief.
Then I begun the use of Electric
Bitters and feel that I am now cured
of a disease that had me in its grasp
for twelve years." If you want a
reliable medicine for Liver and Kidney
trouble, stomach disorder or
general debility, get Electric Bitters.

Mr "Walter Sauls, who for the past
ten months has been working on the

Charleston.
Owing to the fact that cotton is
becoming less plentiful the local ginneries
will be run on special days
commencing w ith this week.
That nothing from Cades has appeared
in The Recohd for the past
two issues is due to the fact that this
correspondent has been sick during
that period.
Mr L Nesmith of DoOk has accepted
a position as clerk with the

man and we are glad to have him

cannot see why he should have reconsidered
his determination in this
matter, for nearly every merchant
