PASTOR CLEAVER S SERMON.
The following is a brief summing up of what
the Rev. Mr. Cleaver said:
I have come to place a flower upon the casket
of her whone life diffused fragrance everywhere
she went. And the flower I bring is a pure white
rose, emblem of herself, and fit companion for
the tomb.
Pure white rose. 110 fairer flower grows,
Jt* form is the neatest, its beauty serene,
Its fragrance the sweetest, God's grace is u,
In a pure white roite.
Yet fairer and more bright,
Mirror of heaveo'i* light,
Is that life at incut <Yivine, -
In which all X Virtue* shine
A life pure wb't e
I have aot»« oue offer words of comfort, for
I hav c none with which to soothe my own grief
on this sad <xxasion, then how could I presume
to comfort others. It would be like a repetition
of the old saying •physician heal thyself, and il
thou canst not heal thyself, why seek to heal
another?'" All I can do i« to tell you of my sym
pathy, and of all who have gathered here:
"We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows,
The sympathising tear."
And it is my pterpeme to encourage you to elfaf
cloftetothe Rock of Ages, with this prayer al
- <ya ac companying, "Let me hide myself in
thee."
Probably the most fitting funeral service we
today could render for her whose life is a most
precious rose-bud in this community's book of
remembrance,would be to sit together in that sil
« r«oe whick is sweter than all speech, and muse
non the past..
or when our nearts are sad, the sound of the
e is like the mournful rustling of the leaves
emory;for thought is deeper thau ali words
i feeling is deeper than thought,
t seems almost impossible that two short
ieks should make so great a difference. The*
ie in whose memory we are now gathered to
.ether in tears, was seemingly in perfect health,
aid happy in anticipation of the pleasures of
uer ««a?aier -vacation. But we did not/.hen
know what God's plan was.
"We conld not tell, but this we knew, that all
is well.
Though it seems most ill, if it be God's will."
tfer<feath seems so sudden. The brittle thread
that bound her to us has broken, but we ccn
scarcely realize that she has gone—
"Gone beyond the stars to God,
Into the splendor, shadowless and broad,
Jeto the everlasting joy and light.
Of her reward; In robes of white
Gone to her long home;
Entered eternity to roam
And await for us, one by oue
And welcome us when we come;
Still living when all of us are gone.
And when every fire of every sun shall laa
gutsh and expire.
Then living still, before the throne of God
shall stand.
And see new woild's revolving from his hand.**
The Savior s prayer, found in the 17th chapter,
and the 24tk verse of St. John's Gospel, helps us
to understand this: "Father, I will that they
whom thou given me, be with me where )
am."
It is Christ's will that we should be with him
in the eternal future. It is Christ's will that at a
moments call, tr** should leave the highest peaks
of grace, and at a single stride set foot in glory
Our sister has heard that call, and has left us for
that better land.
You ask me why such removals, when we so
much need the noblest examples here? lam
bowed down, I could best express myself in tears;
but I must refrain, and view it in u clearer light.
The Master i* gathering the choicest of his
fl->wers. His own de.ir hands are wreathing the
raies into garlands for his kin s "l >m. And when
we see that it ia the Lord his words recalled, soon
cilrn our spirits, dry our tears, and take away
all murmuring. ••Father, I will that they whom
thou hast given me be with me where I am."
Now we understand why the dearest and be»t
aregoiug. We nee in whose hand is held the
magnet which attracts them to the skies. One
by one they must depart from this low land
c »untry to <1 .veil above in the place of the King.
t'»r Jesu-: is drawing them to himself. Our little
ones go home, became "He gathereth the lambs
in his arms. and carries them in his bosom '•
o:.r young p sop • go !, beCUM "Th- he
lOM d is caiae into hit (,'ardeu io gather lilies.'''
And our old folks go home, because "He giveth 1
His beloved rest."
The force that draws them heavenward lies in i
the words "1 will." It is the centripital ener ,
gy that is drawing all the family of God toward J
its own home. And who is he that will !
hinder thehome coming of the chosen ones? As |
well arrest the marches of the stars in heaven. |
The saints cannot be kept out of their inherit- 1
ance; they must rise from their beds of silent j
clay, for Jesus wills it.
Then let our saintly ones go home if that be the ;
design of our Saviour. Since all conies of divine j
love and sets forth divine love, let them goto j
him who loves them. Let divine love fulfill its i
purpose in bringing many sons and daughters
into glory. Comfort yourselves with the |
thought that you will goto them, you cannot |
bring them back to you.
REV. MR. ROBERTSON'S REMARKS.
We cannot bring ourselves to realize, much
less to accept, the fact that our sister, so lately
in the bloom of perfect womanhood, so full of
vigor and spri£htline«, so rich in mind and
heart and character, so strong in physique, so
talented, so accomplished, so successful in past
achievement and full of promise for the future,
has suddenly gone from our midst; and that to
day her spirit inhabits "the vasty hall of deatb."
God's ways are full of mystery. Had it been
left to any of us to predict, still more had it been
left to ustochoose, what was to be.wesliould never
have named such a blow as this. But God >'s a
universal God, taking account of an infinity of
things of which we know little or nothing, aud
so the success or failure of His ways is not to
be judged in the light of our lower thoughts and
ways. Though we cannot understand, wc still
may believe, that in some way this mysterious
stroke is for the best, and that the day will
come that shall declare it. Meanwhile let us
know that we are not shut out from the sympa
thy and compassion of God.
To measure our grief it would be necessary to
express our appreciation of all the beauty and
goodness aud truth that once animated this
marble form; but were we to succeed in doing
this, we should find our sorrow swallowed up ill
a feeling of joyful gratitude that for so long a
time such a piesence graced our earth, and
helped to uplift and transfigure our human llfi.
Let not our foolishness dwell rather on the fact
that God appoints a day of bereavement to us,
than that we by God's award tasted the joy of
such a presence for so long.
1 It is not possible within the limits of a brief
wH)rd to express our full appffciatlon of this beau,
tifty life, but Ido wish to mention particularly
thevyinmetry of it; the equal all-round devel
opment of the mind and heart and spirit, of
moral nature and artistic faculty. We may
knowtyy the witness of this life that it is ftilly
and triumphantly possible for one to possess the
artistlksenreand temperment in a high degree,
and same time show in equal metr.iure a
balanced judgement and an elevation and
strength of moral character. Here was one
whose BeroHon to what ie good and ttueund
pure »,fcs no less marked than was her devotion
to th</beautifhl. She was one in whom were har
mon.'tously combined the best qualities of the
Oreek and ot the Puritan.
V
A FRIEND SAYS:
It is impossible to put into words any
adequate estimate of MisH Metzgei's
character and works. She entered
largely into people's lives and in varied
ways. In every friend, and even too,
in every acquaintance, she met some
distinctive pereoual need. And it was
this broad, sympathy and loving,
devoted service which has called forth
from grief stricken friends letters full
oft he flense of irreparable personal loss
—heart broken letters. Her friends
depended upon her for comfort, for
good cheer, for entertainment, fora<i
, vice in times of doubt, for companion
ship, intellectual and sympathetic, for
enthusiasm, and for inspiration. Her
love ot beauty, and, particularly, ber
desire to s*ee beauty expressed in visible
form helped to make almost countless
homes more homelike. She had an in
finite capacity for giving atxl her life
has been * gift of service to pure living
and high thinking.
She kt<] that sense of ibuenor
which invariably accompanies quick
intelligence. This with her chaining
conversational powers made ber the
merry centre of many social groups,
and popular in every society into which
her dutiee called her.
Miss Metzger was an artist. At times
when others would have beenin dsubt
and gloom, she found heir way to cheer
fulness through her piano and hersong.
No one can measure the good she did
with her music. She had, aside from
j her ability to do artistic work, thersj-e
| power of arousing enthusiasm in her
j pupils and giving to them knowledge
of the value of music in their lives and
: its large possibilities for the*n.
Her life was an active one, so mueh
j so, that she seemed never to rest. Even
' her summersin the homestead,to which
| she looked forward with girlish delight
i throughout the winters were full of ac
i tivities in the interests of others, as
; many of our townspeople well know,
j To be pure,to be strong, to be happy,
and still to be human! How near the
perfect life! Miss Metzger was all of
; these—and yet in naming these quali
j ties every friend will feel that the esti
mate of her character is still a general
one and does not express the precious
personal relations between themselves
and her.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
COPPERSMITH.
FRANK SHBPMAN COPPERSMITH, aged 89 years,
two months and seven days, died on Saturday,
June 3(>th, 1906, after an illness of only two
weeks, of typhoid fever, although he had been
complaining for a long time aMalmost constant
ly receiving medical treatment, his rapid decline
was p. great surprise aud shock to his afflicted
family and friends, who did not realize that the
disease could not be broken. He leaves a wife,
one daughter, Leona, aged eight years, aud one
son, Neil, aged 13 years, and mother-in-law,
(Mrs. Frances Stoddard) a member of the house
hold; besides a father, mother, two sisters and
one brother, who reside at Freeport, Pa., and j
one half-brother, A. L. Agey, of Youngstown, 0., ,
formerly a resident of Emporium.
Deceased came to Emporium from Freeport,
Pa., about 18 years ago and energetically engag
ed in business, never knowing a time that he
could not find something to work at. On Feb. |
Ist, 1861, be was married to Estella Stoddard, j
eldest daughter of the late Samuel L., and
Frances Stoddard, and was always u kind and
loving husband, no hardship being too much for
him to endure to please his family or friends.
Fouryearsago he associated himself with the
firm of Murry & Coppersmith Co., successors to
the late Geo. A. Walker, and conducted an ex
tensive business in the hardware, plumbing and
coal business, until the 28th of Nov. 1905, when
their business was destroyed bv fire, entailing a
loss of 19,000. Arrangements had been madi to
resume their shattered trade, or rather Mr. Cop
persmith had arranged to take the hardware
branch, having bargained for the block now
occupied by H. S. Lloyd.
In public life Mr. Coppersmith was a Kepubli
can and acceptably filled the position of deputy
county treasurer for the late C. M. Thomas, in
1899,1900, 1901, and creditably handled the county
business. He was also an active member of our
fire department. Socially he was companion
able, gentlemanly and very considerate of the
feelings of others. The bereaved family have
the sympathy and consoling aid of our citizens
in this the hardest of all afflictions to bear—
the loss of husband and father.
Deceased carried a life insurance of ft, 500 in
favor of his wife—(l,soo of same being with the
Macabees. The funeral was held from the
family residence, East Allegany Avenue, on Tues
day afternoon, July 3rd, and largely attended.
Rev. Mr. Cleaver, of M. E. Church; delivered an
able sermon. The floral offerings were very
beautiful and plentiful - the piece from the
Maccabees especially.

GILBERT.
Our esteemed citizene, Mr. and Mrs.
VV. G. Gilbert, proprietors of the New
Warner, were called to their old home
at Nunda, N.Y., recently to attend the
funeral of Mr. Gilbert's mother. The
Mt. Morris Enterprise makes the fol
lowing reference to the death of the
lady: Mrs Gilbert was the only child
of the late John M. Griffith of Oakland,
and was born in South Dansville in
185(1. Her youth was spent in Oakland,
town ot Portage, where her father was
engaged in the milling business. She
was married to Corydon L. Gilbert of
Nunda, in 1870, and unto them were
born seven children. Outside herown
home, among her immediate friends,
i Mrs, Gilbert's cheerful disposition,bind
considerate and unselfish nature, acted
as an inspiration to the despondent and
disheartened ones with whom she came
in contact. Although her tastes were
domestic and she, delighted in minister
ing to the happiness and well being ot
her family, yet she found tinse for ex
tensive reading, was well informed on
matters of general public interests and
in sympathy with the beautiful in both
art and nature. The pifcienoe mani
fested during her long and tedious ill
ness was an index to a character found
ed upon strong christian principles
and an absolute faith in the liivine.
The beautiful flowers that surround
ed the casket were emblems-otftlie pure
life that had fled—a life wbecein noble
purpose was but the call to duty well
perEirmed.
The funeral was private and held at
appartments Mrs. Gilbert has occupied
in ittie Nunda house, Thursday
afternoon, three of her soas acted as
pall bearers and the burial was at
Oakwood cemetery.
Besides her husband she is survived
by four sons and one daughter;Williana
G. Gilbert of Emporium, Pa.; C. Leon
Gilbert of Pen ner, Cal,; John M.Gil
bert of Buffalo; G. Mark Gilbert of
Austin, Pa., and Josephine Gilbert of
Nunda

camped on Parker Run, near Gardeau
for several days and from reports they

Althoug the water was very low for
good fishing, old time anglers like
"Nelt" and Homer don't stop at low
water, hence the party had plenty of
trout, pure mountain water, fresh milk
and plenty of good things to eat. A

president Judge in the Twenty-fifth
district. There is a strong sentiment
in this county favorable to Judge
i Green's candidacy and from what we
learn this sentiment is growing day by
day. The unanimous nomination of
Judge Green by the Republicans of
the district would greatly aid him in
his contest for an election.—Lock

EDNA GERTRUDE COLLINS, of Huntley
were married at the M. E. Parsonage,
Sinnamahoning, Thursday, July &xh,
by the Rev. W. F. D. Noble. Ttws
Soung couple took the morning train s*
[untley without informing their rela
tives or friends of their intentions, leav
ing the impression that they were g«
ing to visit friends in Wiiliamsport
The ceremony was performed quietly
with only the contracting parties
witnesses being present. The happy
pair took train No. 3 for Erie, croeea*
the lake to Buffalo, visiting Niagara
Falls and other places of interest,
turning home Saturday evening.
Mies Edna is the eldest daughter dK
Mr. and Mrs. B. J Collins and a nfew
of County Supt. Mies Mattie M. CoKinr
and is a very popular and estimable
young lady. Mr. Miller is too wet
known in Cameron county to be ir.tvc
nuced. He is a gentleman in every
respect and an earnest church worker
is very prominent in local politics an«
at present is overseer of the poor; ate«.
secretary of the school board of
trict; having served in all township
offices at different times with generafc
satisfaction.
The young couple will reside in
Huntley.
According to the time-honoi>ai! oiw
torn, the mary friends of the bride art<
groom mettnem at the atattonon tbe«
return Saturday evening and contrib
uted the usual amount of rieeand slip
pers. At 11 o'clock the same evening
the Huntley Militia formed in linefo
front of the Collins residence and flre*£
a salute of twenty gun« 5 loaded witk
dynamite, after which the grand mardfe
was played by the Military band, c.e
companied by the horns, circular saw*
and cow-bel!a. The happy groom
treated to a wheelbarrow ride, withja
few baths in the creek as a side issuQ,
to which he submitted with hie usual,
good nature.
After leaving the Collins residence
the militia was informed that there w*t,
another new bride and groom in towu~
Thereupon they repaired to the resi
dence of Assistant Foreman AlfonC
Smith and summoned that gentleman
to the door and asked for the particu
lars. Mr. Smish denied the charge, w#
the boys inoistedon Alfred singing one
of his good old railroad songs befocw
they went home. He pleaded a'ba€
cold and other conventional excuses
but they were of no avail,and he gr<*«v
fully submitted to the inevitable an#
sang the following song entitled: "Th«
Pensy Section Boss."
I'm a jolly section foreman upon the Pensy line;
I'm right at home with shovel, pick and jack;
And when I cast my weather eye along the sh»»
ing rails
I can always find the bad spots in the track.
The trainmen tip their hats to me aethey
swiftly by;
They know my frogs and joint* are saTe anfe
free;
And the happy Pullman porters always greet uat
with a smile.
For on my curves they never spill their tea.
In rain or shine, in heat or cold, you'll tinrt tm
on the line;
I think that I am happier by far
Than the beef trust with its millions as Tvidifagp
men I wait,
While Tony greases up the old hand-car.
