The God that touches us is a present God. The present God prescribes our duties, and determines our religion. The re ward that God will hereafter bestow on those who love him is not in our hands. The present religion is our immediate concern. * Our human lives are threads which are being woven into the fabric of infinity. Let us see to it that our work shall be worthy of being inserted in the great web that is the garment of Deity. Nathan Arnold. Nathan Arnold, who died at his residence on the Arnold ranch north west of O’Neill, last Thursday morn ing, was born in Monroe, Missouri, on July 3, 1885, and was thirty-three years and three months old at the time of his death. In the spring of 1906 the family came to this county and Nathan had made his home here since that time with the exception of two years that he was employed in the stock yards ir South Omaha. On May 29, 1912, he was united in marriage to Miss Clara Ball, who with one daughter, Mary Estelle, his father and mother, Mr and Mrs. L. W. Arnold and daughter Miss Gladys, of this city, are left tc mourn the death of a kind and af ’»*" fectionate husband, father, son and brother. Deceased had been engaged in the stock business with his father for the past eight years and the firm oi Arnold & Son is recognized as one oi the largest dealers in live stock ir this section of the state. Besides their large ranch northwest of this city they have large feed yards ir Neligh and last year handled aboul $200,000 worth of cattle, and in look ing after this immense business Nathan was the right hand of his father. Their association was sc close that they were more like brothers than father and son. Nathan was an energetic and industrious young man and by his close applica tion to business was rapidly forging to the front in his chosen line of work. He had hundreds of friends scattered through Holt and adjoining counties and it was a shock to his many acquaintances last Thursday to learn of his death, as he was ill but a few days being taken with Spanish Influenza, which developed into pneu monia and although all that medical skill and loving hearts and hands could do was done he passed to the great beyond. The funeral was held last Sunday afternoon, the remains being interred in the cemetery at Spencer, Rev. Fagan, Methodist pastor at Page, an old time friend of the deceased, of ficiating. The funeral was a large one, many people going out from this city to pay their last respects to the memory of their departed friend. - I Card of Thanks. We desire to eppress our heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness, death and burial of our beloved husband, father, son and brother, and for the many beautiful floral offerings received.

Gallagher died at the i home of his son, Thomas Gallagher, ■ eight miles north of this city, at 3:45 i this morning, after an illness of eight • months, at the age of seventy-four , years, four months and ten days. The , funeral will be held Saturday morn i ing, leaving the residence of his son ■ at 9:15. I Deceased was born in Ireland on June 7, 1844. As soon as he reached ! manhood’s estate he came to America : and located at Pittsburg, Pennsylva ' nia, where he resided until he came ' to this county in the summer of 1875, i the year after the colony was located by General O’Neill, and took a home , stead three and a half miles north of i this city where he lived until the ; kpirng of 1883 when he sold his farm and located on another ten miles i northwest of this city, where he lived i until he retired about eight years ago ■ and moved to this city where he re ! mained until after he suffered a paralytic stroke last February, when he was taken to the home of his son north of O’Neill, where he lived up to the time of his death. In January, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Swift, who passed away in 1882. He leaves three sons and two daughters to mourn the death of a kind and loving father. The children are: Mrs. James O’Donnell, Atkinson; John, Thomas and Warren Sparks, and Mrs. James Connolly, O’Neill. Mr. Gallagher was one of the early band of pioneers that came to this county and endured all the hardships and privations of frontier life to in sure a home and happiness for those he loved. He encountered more than his share of adversity, being deprived of his loving companion and left with a family of small children, but he bore up bravely through it all and by thrift and unceasing labor built up a competency and was able to spend his declining years happy in the thought that fortune had finally smiled upon him. He was a good citizen and while he had been bedfast many months was able to retain all his faculties up to the last and he passed . to the beyond surrounded by his loved ones, contented and ready for the call. Dies on the Field of Honor. Gaylor Simonson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Loren Simonson, living fourteen miles northeast of this city, and pioneer residents of this county, was severely wounded in action on the western front the latter part of last month and last Friday his parents received word from the war depart ment that he had died of his wounds. Gaylor is the first O’Neill boy who has sacrificed all that he had to give, his life, on the field of battle and those who knew him know that he gave a good account of himself be fore he received the wounds that re sulted in his death. Gaylor was a native of Holt county, and prior to his induction into the service of his country, lived at the home of his parents northeast of this city. He was a fine gentlemanly young man, popular among the young people and his death is a severe blow to his parents, brother and sisters, but they can be happy in the thought that he died a glorious death, on the field of battle in defense of his country and the rights of humanity.
