Death of Mrs. Peter Campbell, Aged 78 —Funeral Services on Sunday. On Friday, Feb. 6, the death occur- red of Mrs. Jane Campbell, widow of Peter Campbell, at the age of 78, Death resulted from a complication of dissases.

A. hall appropriately decorated in the natiopal colors and an audience of men present that filled all the seats in the body of the house, the Lincoln centenary was observed on Sunday afterncon by a special pro- gramme arranged by the religious work committee of the association. As specially Invited gucsts were a body of Sedgwick 'post of the G. A. R., un- der Commander Vine S. Stetson, a delegation from Major R_S. Griswold command, Spanish War Veterans, un- der Commander Frank Q. Smith members of the Cltizens corps, the Sons of Veterans, and the local coa-t artillery companies, The services were opened with a well rendered selection, Boston Com- mandery March, by the Fairmount or- chestra. after which President A. A. Browning, who presided, presented Mrs. Frank H. Merril] for the soprano solo, Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, with the audience joining enthusias- tically in the chorus. The solo, Arm, Arm. Ye Brave, from Handel's Judas Maccabeus, was finely rendered by the rich baritone voice of Charles D. Geer. The accompanist was Frederick W. Lester. After the Scripture reading by Pres- {dent Browning and the prayer by Dr. Lewellyn Pratt, General Secretary Frank H. Merriil made the announce: ments, while the collection was taken This was followed by the soprano solo, Lead, Kindly Light (Shepperd), ex- quisitely rendered by Mrs. Frank H. Merrill. Speaker Greeted With Applause Speaking briefly of three prominent facts for which we have reason to remember Lincoln, viz.: His saving of the union, his part in freeing the slaves, and the worthy example he left President Browning presented Principal Clifton H. Hobson of, the Greeneville school to introduce the orator of the afternoon, Hon. Robert E. Luce of Somerville, Mass. Mr. Hobson's flattering introduction of Mr. Luce as an orator worthy of the occasion, and one who, like Lincoln, was a laborer for the common people, prepared the way for a burst of ap- plause which greeted the speaker as he arose, and which was redoubled at the conclusion of dress. Gracefully referring to the dificulty of presenting anything new about a man of whom so much had been writ- ten, who had been 80 idolized and who was the wonder of all his critics that out of such an origin could arise the man to emancipate a race and make this jand the free republic of which we are proud today, Mr. Luce went on to sketch with easy and Intimate touch the history of the great president's early life, Lincoln's poverty, he said, was anly comparaiive, as Lincoln nev- er knew that he was poor. He was an omnivorous reader and yet not a scholar in the sense we would under- stand it. For his blography in the con- gressional library, Lincoln wrote “Ed- ucation defective,” but he was study- ing men and therein was his strength. There was nothing in his early life to his admirable ad- indicate that greatness was to be his lot. As a business man, as a survey- or, he was not a great success, but through it all he was thinking of pub- 1 life, He Kept on Learning. How remarkable it is, continued Mr, Luce, that only here in our little cor- ner of the world is it that the desire to be in the public service fs looked upon with apprehension and distrust, while in the west of our own country and in the European countries it is considered a natural and laudable am- bition. Nobody thought any worse of Abraham Lincoln for bis announce- ment that he was a candidate for public office. He was a politician, willing to work with and for the peo- Hon. Robert E. Luce of Somerville, Addressed Large Gathering at Y. M. C. A. Hall—Many Invited Guests ple, to trust them, and he was the greatest of American politiclans and a master of the science of government. Yet in the legislative services he was called upon to perform there was nothing to indicate greatness. He had not yet found himself, but he kept on learning, and in that is the important 1esson. Passing along to his election as president, the speaker characterized Lincoln as the tay of the repub- lic through the four years of battle- days, amid the derision, the scoffing and the jealousy of those who could not understand their leader. It was during these times that the mystical nature of the president developed and he seemed to reflect the very spirit and life of the people from which he sprang, in truth the true type of our nation and a portralt of the true American. He represented the na- tional characteristic of sadness, yet the keenest enjoyment of true humor, he represented 'our love of mphysical prowess, and he was a lover of the pleasures of companionship, a, lover of men, yet shy and diffident. Like the American, he was Indifferent to dress, but a man of true courtesy and char- ity and a tender heart, et so stern in time of necessity that he could {ssue those commands that he knew would send thousands to death upon the field. Above all he was of the loftiest patri otism, the many-sided Lincoln, who wins our love and service and respect. Bible His Companion of Early Life. He was not what we would call to- day a regular churchgoer and from this we may gather some respect for those who do not feel it necessary to give this public expression of their faith. But the Bible was the com- panion of his early life, and he camo to a realizing sense of the responsibil- ities of man to his creator when the dutles of the presidency were thrust upon him and to a Springfleld audi- ence he declared his rellance in a di- vine providence. 80 he filled those tasks that came to him, and in the words of Sumner there re no accidents in the providence of God and Lincoln’s death was no acci- dent. It is one of the mysteries be- yond the ken of man. We know but the result, that he was taken away, and has left us his imperishable mem- ory. Such a service this afternoon and such a life would be idle if there were no lessons from it for us. Lincoln achleved greatness by the mastery of his surroundings and of himself. ne lived that the supremacy of law mighi be established. Obedience to law is the safety of soclety. In his day it was a question affecting constitutional faw, in ours it is upon statute and common law, that there shall be spe- clal privileges to none. Roosevelt and Lincoln. Today we see a president of the United States, about to go out of of- fice, and revlied, villified and scoffed at because he has given much of his life to this principle of obedience to iaw. Inspired by our recollections of the great Lincoln, who suffered much of tfie same scoffing and villification, may we not perchance imagine that we of this generation have attempteu under great generalship to do our share to obtaln something of this obe- dience to law and are we not to be thankful that the Creator has set among us types of the true Christiani- ty. Led by Mr. Geer, who sang the verses of The Star Spangled Banner, the audience joined In the chorus, and after the benediction had been pro- nounced by Rev. M. S. Kaufman, D. D.. the service concluded with the national melodies played by the orchestra. Sunday morning and evening in many of the churches of the city the memory of Lincoln was honored by special sermons by the pastors. MANY CALLERS ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY.

LINCOLN’S NORWICH VISIT Recalled by Rev. George H, Ewing at First Church, At the First Congregational church Sunday morning Rev. George H. Bwing took as his toplc Abraham Lincoln, Christian President, the text being I Sam., 10: 23-24. In part Rev. Mr. Ewing said: Our own poet, Bémond Clarence Stedman, In his sonnet on the assassination called Lincoln “the whit- est soul T ever knew,” and the senti- ment I belleve finds its echo in every true heart. Abraham Lincoln was spoken of as the ambitlous, the brave and the Christian. Lincoln had the courage of his convictions. A review of the views of Lincoln with respéct to the complex problem: that confronted the state just previous to and Auring the Civil war were very Interesting. The consideration of Lin. coln’s Chrietianity was touched upon, his character being more than usually upright and Honest Abe 1s a title that Justly clings to him still. An {llustra- tion of his humility is afforded in a trip through Connecticut, during which he vieited the city of Norwich, In 1860, Rev. John P. Gulllver declared to him that he thought his the most remark- able speech he had ever heard, to which the nresident replied with evi- dent sincerity: “That {s most extra- ordinary!” At the close of the service the choir sang the Battle Hymn of the Renuhlic, the congregation joining In the chorus.
