Chapel services were of the usual interesting char
acter last/Sunday evening. The orchestra played a

Daly, and the choir sang “ Dead Me Gently Home,
Father” by Thompson.,' Supt. Hall was in charge
and at the conclusion of the exercises he gave a splen

Not many days ago our people were shocked to
hear that Dr. Chas. M. Buchanan, for a quarter of a
century Superintendent atT ulalip, Wash., was dead.
None of us had known of his illness until the news
of his demise reached us. From meager reports to
us it seems that the death was caused, indirectly per
haps, by an ulcerated tooth. Perhaps blood poisonr
ing. followed other complications. We have been told
that the Doctor had gone to S e attlefo r medical; aid
and that his death occurred while there. He .was a
highly gifted man, a good companion, splendidly edu
cated, and loyal to trust always. In his death his
charges will have suffered a great loss and he will
long be remembered by people of every walk of life,
both in and out of the service. Peace to his ashes!
