A REMARKABLE FUNERAL SERMON
The funeral service for Mrs. W. II. Odell, who died in Salem,
Friday, July 4th, was held at the First Methodist Church last Mon
day afternoon. Mrs. Odell was born in Ohio, lived a number of
years! in Kentucky, and came to Oregon twenty-five years ago
last, month. For a number of years General and Mrs. Odell made
their jhome in Salem, but the last j ears of herlife were spent in
Portland. At the church beautiful and appropriate music was ren
dered! Dr. R. N. Avison read St. Paul's statement on immortality and
offered prayer, and the memorial address was given by Rev. John
Parsons, a former pastor of First Church, now 'residing in Port-
land. 1 lie spoke without manuscript or notes, so tna'- me louowing
Rummarv of a verv remarkable funeral sermon falls snort of doing
'it full justice. Dr. Parsons said in .substance:
' St. Paul, after one of his 'great declarations on the future life
and the eternal elory said Comfort one another with these
words." It is not the body that counts in a service like-this, but
he soul. We bury the body, and it returns to the dust whenee it
came; but the soul is on high, and its possibilities will be realized
. in the presence and splendor of God.
. Human life is dmnely made and divinely endowed, jbut it is
like a tree. The roots of our life are inthe ground, in thekingdom
of death; but the branches soar toward heaven,. and lake hold on
eternity. The body ismade of minerals: sustained by vegetables
and animals, and when1 life's wdrk is done one is like a child asleep
on Nature's bosom. But is that all? Is that the goal of life? No,
no! Longfellow insured that life is real, life is earnest, and the
grave lis not its goal; and he added, "Dust thou art, to dust re
turn eth, was not spoken of the soul." -
What then is he goal of life? Consider the parable of the
Tine. (A vine puts forth its tendrils, feeling after a trellis, or a sup
port; and when the trellis is found it climbs into the light, spreads
itself inHhe sunshine, and becomes beautiful and fruitful. It has
found! the goal of its life, and it Is happy in the achievement. It
is similar with the soul. We feel after God, if happily we might
fuid Ijun. The Bible speaks of the garden of God. In that garden
jesu? is set as a lrelns, or support. Fartn and hope and love are
the tendrils of th soul, which take hold of the trellis, and the soul
is lifted Info the light and sunshine of the face of God. The result
is, beauty, the beauty of holiness, and fruit fulness, fulfilling the words
of Christ i j "Herein is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit.'
buch a soul has, reached its goal, the end for which it was made,
and itl is happy. Hope rises into certainty, and glory seems, sure.
Uod gives grace and glory. j '
." This is the tree of life in lhe midst of the world. 0 tree of
th! Endless Life! Thy flowers. are beautiful, thy fruit is delicious!
Job said to God, "Thou shait call, and I will answer. His thought
4 was of (the spring time, when the sun bids nature to rise put of its
grave, and the call is obeyed. Out of the sanctuary of sorrow Job
came, saying, I know that my redeemer liveth; and wheaJds sorrows

good to listen to God, but it isr better to see Him. "Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God,'' is a choice beatitude. Job
was at home in Gpd's tree of life, and its fruit was sweet to his
taste. What confidence in God filled his life! And what radiant
hope leaned in his soul ! j
; David is remarkable for his vision bf God, and his triumphant
hope. He saw the unseen Infinite in cloud and sky field and forest,
mountain and river all were symbols of a. present God. And he
likened Him to a shepherd, leading the souls of men into green
pastures,! and beside $till waters. Think how1 he faced the shadow
of the : valley of death! He was fearless in the assurance that God
would be with him and that the rod and staff of the Almightv
would , be his strength and support! God was a tree of life to his
soul;, he ate he fruit of the tree, and he was satisfied
What a great experience .was giv-ert to Isaiah! I see him there
-. in the death chamber of the king, where he saw the Lord hitrh and
iiiiea up. Angeis proclaimed tne splendor of God, and other celes
tiai,nosts said the whole earth is full of His glory. In the splendor
vi iuai vision everyining was cnangeci ; even death was destroyed
and victory snatched out of the hand of the grave. It was Victory
supreme. This is the fruit of the tree of life, and Isaiah found it on
tne' topmost boughs of the tree.

building of God, a place not made with hands, eternal in tlw Uot-o'n.
Indeed he told Timothy that Jesus abolished death, and brought life
and immortality to light. One of his great sayings is this: TO DIE
; IS GAIN. Why is it. gain to die! Because Death means life. And
life with no sin to stajn it, no temptations to harass it, and no
ueain to intercept its work.

and stamp out the upliftings of her spirit. Faith, hope, love, con
science,' were sacred realities in her life, and she allowed them to
come to flower and fruitage in her character. So her chief adorn
ment was what St. Paul calls the graces of the Spirit.
Besides, she kept on speaking terms with God. Her life was
a life of prayer. And in her last days when the organ of the mind

Of simply cheap old scraps of pa

hate.

When tyrants :ule upon the throne
Aad grind their subjects with the

You cannot force them to atone,
Unless you use the trusty hatchet.
A nice soft word or pleasant smile
May palliate your -senses.
But mixed with gall or purest guile,
The hatchet only clean the
trenches.
It may be badly nicked and rusteU,
The handle also broke or bent.
But when ;epaired It may be trusted
And on its ugly mission sent.

men who imoke, chew or nurf incess
antly and who are seemingly healthy
are suffering- from progressive organic
ailments. Thousands .f, them would
never have been afilirtrfd had It not
been for the use of tobadkn. and thou
sands would soon get well if they
would only slop the use of tobacco. The
chief habit forming principle of tobac
co is nicotine, a deadly poison which,
when absorbed by the system slowly
affects the nerves. memhranw. tissues,
and vital organs of the body. The
harmful effect of tobacco varies and
depends on circumstances. One will
be afflicted with general debility, oth
ers with catarrh of the throat. Indiges
tion, constipation, extreme nervousness,
sleeplessness, loss of memory, lack of
will power, mental confusion, etc. Oth
ers may suffer from heart disease,
bronchial trouble, hardening of the ar
teries, tuberculosis, blindness or even
cancer or the common affliction known
as tobacco heart. If you use tobacco
in any form you can easily detect the
harmful effects by making the follow
ing simple tests: Read aloud one fufl
page from a book. If. in the, course of
reading your voice becomes muffled,
hoarse and indistinct, and you must
frequently clear your throat. the
chances are that yout tnroat is affect
ed by catarrh and it may be the begin
ning of more serious trouble. Next, in
the mvrninr before taking your usual
smoke, walk up three flights of stairs
at a regular pace then stop. If yoa
rind that you are out of breath. oor
heart bvat Is forced, trembling or Ir
regular, you . may be victim of tunc-'
tional or organic heart trouble. If you
feel that you must smoke, chew or
snuff to quiet your nerves, you are a
slave to the tobacco' habit, and are po-
itiveley poisoning - yourself with tae
deadly drug.-' nicotine. In either case
you have Just two alternatives keep
on with the self-poisoning process Ir
respective of the dangers and suffer
the coasequencese. or give up the habit
Snd escape the dangers. You ran over
come the craving and stop the habit la
a very short time by using the follow
ing inexpensive formula. Oo to any
drug store and ask for Nicotol tablet,
take one tablet after each meat, and
in a comparatively short time you will v
have no desire for tobacco, the craving
will have left you. With the" aicotioe
poison out of your system your general
health wilt quickly improve. -
Note When asked about Nicotol tab
lets, one of our leading druggists said:
"It Is truly a wonderful remedy for the -tobacco
habit; away ahead of anything
