FAREWELL SERMON
LARGE CROWD GATHERED AT
BAPTIST CHURCH.
Om^nndny Night to Hear Last Ser
mon?Suitable Resolutions Adopt
ed.
Quite a largo number of our people
of all denomtnatlonB attended services 1
at the Baptist churcli on Sunday night
to hear the farewell sermon of Rev.
Walter M. llmore, who has served this
church for the past bIx and one-half
years In a most acceptable manner.
His theme was to try your life by the
plumbline of the Lord and build your
self plumb In His sight and his ser
mon was one of much thought and
great power, and was greatly appre
ciated by all. At the conclusion of
REV. WALTER JI. GILMORE.
his sermon Supt. Mills was called to
preside when the following resolu
tions were offered;
"The pastoral office is the first of
fice in the church of God. whether It be
the church of Jerusalem, or the
church at Corinth, or the church at
Louisburg. And the principle func
tions of this office are Leadership,
Ministry, Preaching v The pastoral of
fice is of divine appointment as is
also the pastor of divine choice?
"made a minister according to the
gift of the grace of God." No church
therefore would think of calling as
its pastor one who had not already
been called of God. A church-called
man. then must needs he a God-called
man. This being true, it goes with
out saying that the relation whte&-ex
ists between the church and its pas
tor is strong and tender and beauti
ful. And the severance of this rela
tion can not be contemplated without
"For he who leads us in our worship
of Almighty God, and directs our spir
itual devotions; who brings our lov 3d
ones Into a saving knowledge of the
truth, buries them with Christ in bap
tism, teaches them to observe all
things whatsover God has commanded
ministers to all their spiritual needs,
and watches for their souls, as one
who must give account at the groat
judgment; be who is with us in our"
homey in the seasons of our rejoicing .

the bells of merriment aro ringing; |

that nro wrung from broken, bleeding J
hearts, while with. the other .ear ho ,

has been chanted. speaks the earth

and then returning with the sorrow
Tfffc m \m flu. uldu'?*h fun it mmv fhft
vacant place and the empty chair, he
as a true son of consolation, speaks
that blessed "Let not your hearts be
troubled." Oh, the delicate, interlac
ing, network that exists between the
pastors heart and the hearts of his
people. There is nothing like It.
Nothing like it in all the walks of
men. Nothing like it under God's
Btars.
"Six and a half years ago. this re
lation was formed befcveon this
church and this pastor. It was then
he became our leader, our minister,
our preacher And your committee
ventures to believe that no forpier pas
torate of this church has ever sur
passed this one in its loyalty to
and his "kingdom and in its faithful
ness to every duty growing therefrom
His life and character have been above
reproach as he has gone in and out
before us "diligent in business, fer
vent in spirit, serving the IxDrd."
"The Intent of this writing is to pre
sent to this church and- thQ . larjrer
brothorhood, at home and abroad, our
appreciation Of this consecrated man
of God and his elect body who on ac
count of her faithfulness and her help
fulness to him In all his pastorate is
entitled to share equally with him In
every honor and every word of praise
that may come 4o him; also to assure
them of the high esteem In which they
are held by this church and all the
churches and peoples of (his commun
ity; and to offer to them as they go
to their new field of labor our love
for their love; our sympathies for
their sympathies; our prayers for*

Before the vote was taken Rev. N.
H. D. Wilson, of the Methodist church
{arose and after a very pretty tribute
to the retiring nastor, asked that the
privilege of votfng on the resolution
be extended to all who were in the
church as he knew it would be a pleas
ure to all to show their personal ap
preciation of one'who was so univer
sally loved and reverenced wtfich was
granted and after a few appropriate
and fitting remarkB from Supt. Mills
as Chairman of the Board of Deacons,
a standing vote was taken, and a
most enthusiastic unanimous approv
al was recorded.
Rev. and Mrs. Gilmore in their stay
in Lqulsburg' have made staunch
friends of all their acquaintances re
gardless of denominational differences
and there 1b a town full of people here
| who regret that the time for this
friendship to be severed has arrived.
We part with him in sorrow, and con
gratulate Sanford in the fact that they
are so fortunate ds to get Rev. and
Mrs. Gilmore as their citizen:, and
the membership of the Baptist church
there, as thefr pastor._...
Our hearty good wishes go with
them and the latch string hang3 on
the outside for their return at any
time.

Washington, April 1.?Senator Wil

i mit tee and for many years prominent
j among Democratic leaders, died here^
today after a stroke of paralysis suf-'
'fered last Wednesday. ?
Senator Stone suffered the stroke
while on a street car on his way to
I the Senate office building. A alight
[cerebral hemorrhage affected lifcs left
; side, rendering him helpless, but he
did not lose consciousness and a few
i hours later rallied and began to talk
about getting up. His family and
friends were very hopeful until yes
terday, when there was a decided turn
for the worse. .?
IMMEDIATE CAUSE OP DEATH
Today there was a second cerebral
hemorrhage and the Senator fell into
a state of coma. Death came at 4:30
o'clock this afteraoou, by t the pkysl
clan ma<1e nr> ?nnnnnrenjent until an
hour later because twice before the
patient's pulse had become so weak
that the family thought the end had
come. At the bedside were Mrs.

Solicitor N'orris has been repeatedly

MOMENTUM OF GERMANS ATTACK
BETWEEN LENS AND YPBE8
BROKEN.

tacks Expected to Kecapture Town*,
April 16.?Seven days after the
Germans launched their .gigantic as
sault against the British lines between
Lens and Ypres. the momentum .of
their attack has been broken and fee
waves of the Teutonic forces are|e
coiiing before the rock o{ the Britl&ii
defense. While the Germans have
made gains of ground and have driven
a wedge into the allied lir.ea to a con
siderable depth, they seem to ha?e
failed In their attempt to br6ak
through or take Important railroad
junctions.
MULTIPLICITY OF BATTLES/
During the last day there have been
bitterly fought engagements at fiur
places, all on the northern side of the
salient to the south of Ypres. Seven
assaults against the British trenches
at Mervllle near the apex of the tri
angular dent in the British line have
been hurled back by the British. Neu
vceglise on the extreme southwestern
I spur of Messines Ridge, has been tftk
1 en by the Germans after a struggle
which will go into, history as one of
the greatest of the past wee*. *'
The British, however, have not re
tired far and it is probabtt that they
will at once organize a counter at
tack to force the Germans out of the
town, which, if held, might be a "kick
ing-off" point for an attack which
might outflank and make untenable
Messines Ridge, the key to the Brit
ish positions about Ypres. Balllul and
Wulverghem. between XeuveeglisBe &
Merville. also have been the scenes of
hard fighting, but except for Neuvee
glise, the northern side of the salient
has stood firm. On^Jie southern side
of the salient, according to Berlin,
fierce struggles have been fought.
? LOCATION OF NEXT ATTACK.
It has been the German plan of cam
paign since March 21, when the great
offensive started, to strike barji' at
some particular sector. If that'bTdw
was parried, to turn powerfully again
st soma new point. This proceedure
probably will be followed in the next
few days by a new assaiflt somewhere
south of Arras. An attack no^b of
Ypres is hardlypossible for thf? low
lands of Belgium are as yet toojjfcter
logged to permit active opera^ps.
An attack on Arras would the
j hurling ^ troc?>s against Vimy ?idge,
the Labyrinth and other formidable
' military works protecting that oity.
| It may be that the savage fighting
J reported of Hangard-En-Saneterre,
south of Albert and on the center of
the line facing Amiens, may mark the
beginning of a new attempt to sweep
fighting has brought tho Germana only
losses In men and ground. Further
south, near Montdidier, there has been
Intense artillery firing, but the Ger
mans have not attempted infantry op
erations In this important sector. ?
German" troops have entered Hel
singfors. the Finnish capjtol. It was
reported last week that the Russian
warships which have been there had
made their escape and had reached
Kronstadt, the great Russian naval
base.
AMERICANS STAN D PNG FIRM

The Germans andniaYFUetit their lineal

The constant German attacks in this
sector may have some bearing on the
development of the German offensive
campaign, and much interest in the
situation throughout the region held
by General Pershing's men is eviden
ced by the allied leaders.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK
uiacdent with the report of the aC
ceptancce of the resignation of Count
Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian Pre
mier, comes a report of a serious out
break of the Czechs at Prague, which
for many months has been reported to
ho EPi.thlrr Wirt) flnH-nan Germanism.
Bohemians, or at least the I'zerii mi
nority in that country, object to the
creation of a German government
there, but the Incident may be more
significant than has so far appeared.
The Slavic races of Bohemia have
long be*n standing out agafcist the
Germanization of their country and
the outbreak at Prague may be only;
another indication of the de*p-seated
opposition to the war aspiration? of I
the Central Powers.
QUIET ON' ITALIAN FRONT
Nothing out of the ordinary has been
reported from the Italian. Macedonian, j
Palestine or Mesopotainlan theatres of j
the war.

I Although the Americans were out
numbered more than two to one, they
| completely repulsed the enemy, driv
ing him back to his own trenches,
i The known enemy casualty Include ?4
dead, nfttny wounded and 11 prisoners,
| besides a number *of wounded who
were dragged back to the German lin
es by their comrades.
ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE FAILED.
The Germans attempted to deceive I
I the Americans by appearing In fronti
IH! my ireiHillM tlM1speaking l'renftr
j and English, and also by yelling "gas."
[The deception, however, was soon dls- I
covered and cost the enemy dearly.
[The American casualties were com-1
iparatively slight. |
Numerous stories of individual brav- l
| try poured into the headquarters to
jday. A young American, born in a
Pennsylvania coal mining town, of
Italian parentage, killed one German
and captured three. He saw eight
Germans walking in a communica
tion trench ahead of him and, although
alone, he shot and killed one and ran
after the others, capturing two and
wounding some of those who escaped.
He then returned to the American line
and turned over the prisoners to a
non-commissioned officer and cooly
asked for a match.
WENT AFTER ANOTHER GUARD
AND GOT HIM.
The officer jokingly said: "I'll give
you a match if you brfcg in another
prisoner." The Italian' who is only
five feet 4 nches tall, took him at his
word and went back over the parapet.
He returned in less than five minutes,
walking with drawn bayonet behind a
six-foot German who was yelling
"Kamarad, Kamarad."
A few minutes later it wa* reported
that ten Get mans were lying in a ma
chine gun nest in No Man a "^and. Tho
Italian started for the spot alone, but
he was ordered back by the comman
der of the unit who later sent a de
tachment of men to rout out the en
jemy, which they did.

Important Information on County
Wide Tax.
8upt. Best gives us the following
important information in regard t*
the effect of the county-wide tax:
. Q. ?If 4here is not a majority of
the registered vote in the county cast
for the county-wide ta^*.but any town
ship has a majority of\ts registered
vote cast in favor of thi^<ax, what
effect will this have on the fpwnslj
so voting? ~
es that such a
township would have the special tax,
but this special tax could-only be us
ed for the schools igvthls township.
For illustration, if the county-wide
tax did not carry, but Dunni township
did, then Dunns township would have
a -special tax, and this special tax
could not be used for any schools in
the county except those of Dunns
township.
Q. What about the schools In such
a township that already have a local
tax?
A. Tho Board of Committeemen of
such a district would have tho power
to eliminate its local tax; such a dis
trict would have a township special
tax Instead of a local Special tax:

that means more work for all wh?

All of us must give freely to the
worthy cause of suffering humanity;
all of us must invest liberally in the

to provide fund3 fo rthe conduct of
the war. NOW, we have opportuni
ty to do our fullest share, for NOW
the Nation asks again that wo loan
our money to the government in the
Third Liberty Loan Bonds. The re
quest is not for a gift. It may mean
some sacrifice to invest at once, but
that is small service compared with
ttiat of our boys at the front. The
investment in Liberty Ix>an Bonds and

same time it is the quickest way we
can help our hoys. They axe going
