One ;of his legs was torn off
while the other was 'crushed al-

. .The following .is taken from
the Monthly Bulletin, pubjished
at Lincolnton: ,
' 'Our presbytery feels special
concern in the dreadful war in
fiouth Africa. ' Rqv. Daniel
Lindley. went ttiero as admission. -ary
from 'Fjrst .church, Ghar
lottp,N. C, in 1835, and foifnd

sturdy life that strains the re-
sources of the British Empire!
Dr? Lindiey labored along "the
Tugela river and Zulul and, where
I sent letters to him as stated
clerk of Presbytery in the sew
entios, .written by the venerable
Dr. Morrison." Charlotte Ob
server of 2nd.
Our attention hits been called
to the above by some of the .in
telligent Presbyterians here with
some slight corrections and in-
teresting references
to the
sainted'missionary.
We are told that the Rev. Dan
iel Lindley went, not from Char
lotte, but from Rocky Riv9r con
gregation. At meetings of the Presbytery
his name was always called with
the other ministers on the roll
. i.
of Concord Presbytery. . ,
For forty years till 1875 there
was no response when his name
was called, but then in the pros
ent church of the First Presby
terian congregation in Concord
at a, meeting of the Presbytery
when his name wss called he
answered and rose and touched
the hearts of all as he spoke in
fervent, pathetic greeting. ,
The great, stalwart figure,
whose flowing white beard made
him an ideal patriarch, fixed an
indellible image -on the minds of
the young. ,
"He returned to the neighbor
hood that he had left so long be
fore and visited and worshipped!
in probably every hqme of his
surviving parishioners. , ' . ,
When the missionary left, he
had, with him his wife and Dr.
and Mrs. John M Wilson, pi
Charlotte. Dr. Wilson , was a
brother of the Jate Lawyer Har
vey Wilson, and he went as mis
sionary physician.
Rev. Lindley had the grief of
losing the three whose dust is
now probably shaken by the ex
plosions and ioar of modern
warfare.
It is indeed interesting to think
that from our very midst in the
person of Rev. Lindley went cut
the man who baptised, tought
and ingrafted piety and church-
liness in the stern and rugged
Oom Panl Kruger who rules his
people almost as a dictator, in
civil affairs, while .he exercises
his ministerial f unctiojis on the
Sabbath a Sfond0' Cromwell
and one of the finest examples
extant of the biblical "mighty
man," the ma& now putting up
the stiffest front, the broadest
shoulders and the most rigid
backbone against which Great
Britain has thrust hcrseli smceH
the days of Waterloo.
In this connection we will, ask
the reader to stay with us a little
longer to take in the following
story:
The venerable missionary was
in Rookliver church plating in
cidents in connection with his
work inthe da1k continent. HefL
said that hehad probably 4one
nothing more beneficial and up
lifting to those savage natives !
than teaching them how to wear
clothes.

decorum -wtien tho missionary
told them that' tho natives per-
sisted in wanting to put on a
shirt by catching by the tail and
thrusting their feet down through
i 'i- iii i, i mu.
and out at the risbands. This
was too much and they laughed
right out which causod the rev
erend gentleman to use his
knuckles on the reading desk.
Tlague Getting Near.
. A Washington dispatch of the
28th gives the following unwel-
come news: .
"The surgeon general of the
Marine Hospital Service 'has

"plague has appeared on the
