We desire to ask every reader of the Post to read these obituaries and decide for themselves whether they prefer such a memorial to the worn-out stereotyped " resolutions of respect." The Post luis been criticised for not publishing resolutions without pay. Which would you rather have, dear reader, a i .cmnrial like Rev.

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 aim vtcnuo i remem ier now on niirU' i j . . ... . s:oi...i...

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.

"When the last sentence bath its md In mercy, Maker, Father, Friend ' W rite for the sake of thy dear Son Servant of Jesus Christ, 1 Well done." The funeral services w ere conducted by his pastor assisted by the Kev. I, . Zimmerman oi the Lutheran church. The deceased was burled by the side of bis sister, Sallle, where he sweetly sleeps iu resurrection hope, and where many friends will strew the grave w ith the "for-get-me-nots" of a loving r membrance. Nelson now has joined the number "I the loved onos "gone before," n in nose t he dear home circle n the ever fadeless shore. A. I). Gkami.y, Pastor. Funeral of George J, Haines.

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. F. W. Dkvok i Co.
