Obituary of Nelson F. Freed.
In the sweet peace of an unfaltering
trust in Jesus, Nelson F. Freed, son of
Edward ami Eliza Freed. denarted this
life quietly at Beavertowa, Pa,, Sunday
evening, Oct. Ltltb, 1801, bringing his
age to !i years, 11 mouths and 11 days.
Bis death-bed was like the dtvp calm
repose of summer-evening's sky, when
all nature is hushed to rest; and h Is de
parting soul like the setting sun, peace
fully and triumphantly disappeared
only to shine In another and brighter
hemisphere.
Six years ago, under the pastorageol
Rev. L. Dice, he wm happily converted
lo God. His conversion was very bright
and none could doubt it. His character
and conduct proved to all that he bad
ipped the cup "sorrow for sin," touch
ed the low note of penitent la pain that
he might afterward reach and sweetly
sing the high note of the Redeemer's
praise. He wove many Scripture pas
tures into bis life that hung like a
beautiful vine upon the trellis of God's
promises.
In bis death, the United Kvangclical
church lost one of her choicest snlrits.
theS S. of which he was the supt., a
devoted worker and eftlcleiil teacher,
the K. L. ('. E. i f which 'ae was the
esteemed president, a consecrated lead-
and an active member. He was an
honorary member of the "W. M. s."
in which he always took a deep Inter
est, and a member of the Ladies' Aid
Society. He was recently elected Se
er, tary of the Snyder 'o. S. S. , K. L.
C E. and V. M.S. Union of the tT.
Ev. church.
Whenever. possible, he attended the
various conventions for personal protlt

profitable exercise iu committing the
5:id chapter of Isu. Hro. Freed was look
ing forward to the time when he would
with delight take his place in the ranks
of the ( lospcl ministry. Mis name had
found its way to Dr. A. K. Gobble's list
oi prospective students for the t . p. '.
Vs a public school teacher be was well
ualitied and held a large place ill the
hearts of bis pupils. His ways, man
ners, disposition, and pleasantness to
gether with bis 'hristian llfeeotnbined
iu him the iltiallties of making one of
the best primary teachers of thecouuty.
On the day of his funeral the public
hools of the township Were closed
and the schools ol lieavertown attend
ed the services iu a body. Four of hi
fellow teachers, Prof. v.. K. Wetzel,
principal of the higti school, Jno. VV,
Hassinger, .Jno. A. Wetzel and J. Win.
Ehigle served as pall-bearers. The ob-
sc iuics were largely attended, and iu
the hearts of the many school children,
love ami pathos mingled touchingly as
they marched by the casket iu divided
tan us, ano looaeu tor lue last time up
on the form of the beloved teacher.
Alter the body was lowered Into the
grave the pupils, supplied with dowers,
inarched by the open grave strewing
the casket with a fragrant shower of
bouquets.
"Earth's dearest ties must be broken
l ime's sweetest roses decay;
Words of farewell must bespoken,
Fveniug will follow the day."
Iteautltullv arranged Moral decora
tions Were presented by the "C. 1
S., W. M. S., L. A. Society, High
School, and a little girl, who was out
of his pupils, brought a bunch of t ar
nations and Loses witli "MV TEA! II-
BR" attached.
During his illness he trusted ill hi
Savior, whom he so gladly served and
sincerely loved in health. Frequently
his voice was raised iu prayer and m
the repetition of familiar verses from
his marked Bible. Once, he said
Jesus will give mi' a robe of righteous
ncss," "His glory Is Hooding my soul.'
He also spoke of "Purity." A littli
lit fore he passed over, he was heard
singing: "Leaning on the Everlasting
Arms.'' And one of the last verses
quoted by his now silent lips was : "1
heard a voice from Heaven say"
This is the second visit the angel of
Death has made tothissorely bereaved
home within a month, typhoid
fever being the cause. Father, mother,
three sisters, two brothers, one of whom
is ill with the sitiue disease, and a host
of friends mourn the departed.
The following lines were found on
his desk by his sisters :
"Both mine arms are clasped around
YOU
And my head Is on your breast
For my weary soul has found you
Such a perfect present rest.

The funeral services w ere conducted
by his pastor assisted by the Kev. I, .

The deceased was burled by the side of

many friends will strew the grave w ith

Hear Sir : As a painter you probably
use lead ituu on, ami would naturally
object to Devoe lead and .inc. Let us
have a few words on the subject.
Painters say a good lead and oil Job
Will last thne years, and they say a
house ought to be painted once in three
years.
We take them to nie in that their
work is good for three years, no more
ami no less, or not much more ami not
much less.
Do you want your work to last long
er.' What do you .say to six years.
You'll have to have twice as much
work; you know ; or you'd U loeiag
money.
Consider the case of your doctor. You
call hinr in. Is it better for him to get
your child out of bed tomorrow, or
keep him -ick for a month '.'
You prefer a quick doctor. does
everyone else in your town, and coun
ty, and state. Wear all alike; wc all
want our doctors quick. A doctor, that
gets his patients up quick, - the doctor
that gets the patients gets rich too, if
he Isn't run to death.
It's about the same with a painter,
isn't It? Suppose you paint l)ce,
and your competitor objects to Devoe;
your work lasts i years and his work
tluis You cost your customers half;
he costs double. Who'llget the busi
ness; and who'll go to Texas?
Devoe lasts six years not exactly
we know of it lasting seventeen and
it never wears out in less than three, so
far as we know. On a w iudy sand sea
side house, it lasts three years. Lead
and oil lasts one year there.
Devoe lasts two or three times as long
BJ lead and oil; and it's going to paint
your town. 1K you warn ss oe iu n :
Yours truly.
