Thomas, who had not been seen by his brothers and sisters for nearly thirty years, arrived in Little Germany home weeks ago. So changed was he that his relatives at first did not recognize him. He was believed to have been dead as he had not been heard from for many years. He has been in twenty States and is now located at Norwalk, Ohio, where he is working at a furnace. He left Tuesday of last week on his return home. Many friends in this place will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. F. B.

At a meeting of a committee of his Sabbath school class held Friday evening, Sept. 30, 1904, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted, to wit: WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God in His wise providence, to remove from our midst our dearly beloved teacher and wise counselor, the Hon. J. B. Garber, we deem it our duty as a class to unite with the Sabbath school and the community in general, in hearing testimony of his character and worth as a teacher, exponent of God's word and Christian gentleman. Resolved, That in the death of Hon. J. B. Garber, our class has lost an estimable shepherd, a fond and efficient teacher, a perfect man, upright and faithful as a leader, full of honesty and truth. Resolved, That in the death of this good man, St. Paul's Sabbath school has suffered an irreparable loss, as by his smiling godly countenance, which during his long years of service as superintendent and teacher, his absence from the Master's service was scarcely ever noticed. Resolved, That this community has lost an ardent citizen and a most faithful and earnest member of his church, full of Christian walk and conversation which goes to characterize a life spotless and that by so living he has earned for himself our highest regard, and may we long cherish his memory. Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with his beloved children, sisters, brother, grandchildren and relatives in their sad bereavement, and commending them to Him who doeth all things well, and realizing that father has gone to meet a cherished mother and wife as portrayed in these appended lines: "Wife, we've been long together, Through pleasant and through stormy weather; "Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps it may cause a sigh or tear. Then steal away, give little warning, Choose thine own time, Say not "good-bye,' but in a brighter clime, bid me "good morning.'" Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of St. Paul's Sabbath school, and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family, and that they be published in the county papers. Mrs. J. C.
