That the Richardson co unty bar has suffered a profound loss in the death of Judge Martin, who for thirty-five years was one of its most distinguished and honored members.! He was an honored citizen,a:< exeni I plary husband and father, a lawyer; of solid attainments and of profes-j sional habits above reproach, llist advice to clients was to keep out of | litigation: he always .-ought to allayj family discords and to reconcile the warring factions of the home without law suits. Nobody ever sought his e muse! who did not receive honest advice and the mature judgment of • he man of affairs. It was only after such advice failed of its purpose,and Judge Martin believed his client was in tin- right, that In- been rut- an em ployee as an attorney, it was such conscientious conduct that; made Judge Martin such a formidable ad versary in the court room. As .1 public official he was up rigid and disebamed tin- duties ns member of the Constitutional Con vention of 1875. county judge and si ite senator with ability and fidelity to the1 people. As a testimonial of the high os tein in which Judge Martin was lic-l by the members of the bar, we ash ibis court that this testimonial ot his worth ns a citizen, lawyer and public official In- spread upon its i t cords. We sympathize with the family in S their bereavement and ask this court to direct its clerk to send a copy of these resolutions to tin? wife of deceased. And at some future time " li"ii his family shall have returned to tliis city, wo ask this court to set aiart one evening when members of ttie bar may be given suitable op portunity to deliver addresses upon the life and character of the de ceased.

About one hundred years ugo a French infidel declared that the Bible would soon be a discarded book; that men would cease to read it; that the light of science would dispel the darkness of superstition and men would no longer believe the myths and fnldes of that venerable volume. Whether or not men are becoming more superstitious in this scientific age, i shall not attempt to argue; but at any rate the Bible is still read and read as never before. A little1 over one hundred years ago, there was a little Weic Ii girl by the name of Mary Jones. She saw a Bible at the home of a neighbor and de siring to possess one herself, she determined to work and save until she could fulfill her desire, For more than six years she labored and at last saved the required amount. She walked twenty live mile.-:, bare footed, for she had no shoes, to the place w he re she could purchase a Bible, and to her deep disappoint ment found that thee were none on hand except such as were reserved. So manifest was her giief that the dealer wi lorn lied and said, “You must In ,e a Bible.” So she ob tained her IMbie which for the re mainder of her life was her constant, companion and guide. This little incident led to the establishment in March, 1 SOt. of tile British and For eign Bililc1 Society, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. Dur ing that time there have been cir culated through this one agency 180,000,000 copies of the scriptures, complete, or in part. We do not believe that the old gospel has lost its power. We believe in the churc h manifesting every energy to bring the world to the Christ. therefore we, as a church, desire to give you, dear readers, a special invitation lo the special revival meet ings to commence in the Oh r 1st inn Church, Sunday, January 9, 7:3b p. m The Disciples Church stands for the Bible and Bible interpretation— believing that faith and obedience will work the transformation. It Is true we stand for baptism, the Lord's supper, Christian union, but in the foregoing particulars we occup the ground common to all Christians. We bold as individuals much more that is common to a majority of Christians. Like other evangelical people, we believe that the Bible contains God’s revelation to men, and that it was given us through in spired men. The greatest doctrines ni the incarnation, reconciliation,the death, burial, resurrection and ascen-t lion of Jesus Chrict the Fatherhood of God, the personal ministry of the Holy Spirit, the change of heart, the new life in Christ, the reward of the righteous and punishment of the wicked, are of common acceptance among us. However, no particular theory of the atonement, oi inspira tion. etc., is necessary to holy living, the unity of the church, or the final a lit ation of ni’en. We th< r< fore do not consider the holding of any par ticular theory as being neeessifby to church membership; hence each man is permitted, according to the lib erty which we enjoy in Christ. to hold whatsoever theory as his own private property . If you can take thi position, come with us and we will do you good. Remember the church hits secured the help of George \V. Jones, who will he here as musical director. The writer will endeavor to do the preach ing. Gome and help us win souls to Christ. Your Brother and Friend, F. ELLSWORTH DAY. Christmas Eve Communion. Tlie midnight communion service at St. Thomas Church on Christmas eve is spoken of as one of the finest and best ever held in this city, and tunny hearty compliments have been paid the rector, George L.

The special music was a feature of the service and was well sung by the full vested choir. It was made up of beautiful anthems and hymns with a duet by Mrs. Neide and Miss Ethel Velde for the offertory. Special men \ tion might also be made of the Angus | 1 tel sung by Mrs. ('. A.

The small sum of $2 will buy a $5,000 policy, good for five years,from the Richardson County Farm Mutual Insurance Co., provided the building l has good lightning rods. Then these policies can be renewed another five years for the still smaller fee of fifty cents. Smaller policies cost the same amount. The last 22 years tuis company has. been thoroughly tried,and found re liable. We have over two million insurance in force, and constantly gaining new members. All the farm property of the county ought to be insured with us. It is folly to keep on sending money out of the county for good safe protection.
