his brother enlisted In Co. O, In the
4th Iowa regiment. He served his
country for two years and saw ac
tive service. On account of brok
en health ho received an honor
able discharge from the army for
disability and came to his home in
fowa and his brother who bane
him farewell at the front, never
expected tc see him alive again, as
he was so weak and emaciated in
body. But he recovered hie health
and strength lived to be much old

like him for the valiant service
rendered the nation In an hour of
need. He was willing to put his
life on the altar of his country. In
the defense of the flag and to pro
serve the Union, ho took up arms
and did his part in sacrificial ser
vice. It is very pppropriato that his
comrades bring their tribute to him
today and have, part In this.
Brother Leabo was a friend to
everybody and was highly respect
ed by all who knew him. His life
was one of kindness and love and
exemplary habits. He was a life
long membei of the Methodist
church. When a young man he was
converted on September 6, 1858
and from that experience In his
life he counted the years of his
Christian life. In 1874 he was
licensed as an exhorter in the
church and later given a local
preachers license. He preached In
Iowa, Nebraska', Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon. In all he hnd
proclaimed the gospel truth In 71
different places and had supplied
one circuit 7 months and another
for 2 months. He always purpos
ed to let his light shine and do
his duty as a faithful follower of
Christ.
Brother Leabo was active and
hard working and devoted to good
works. Ho died In the faith. He
was a good church member, a
prayer meeting and class meeting
Christian. He waa strong In his
convictions and not easily drifted
about by every wind of doctrine.
He had built the house of hie faith
on the rock and In tho time of
winds and storms, It stood firm.
His end came peacefully and tri
umphantly in God. Early In the
morning ho quietly slept in death.
Before the sun in all hij state
Illumed the eastern sky,
He passed tl.ru glorys morning gate
And walked in Paradise,
Brother Leabo'B last service in
tho church was on Sunday when
he led the class meeting. He told
us of his experience and sudden
attack he had the week before.
Then ho said, "I am ready."
Those three words may form our
text today. They are taken from
script. Paul used them as the
motto of his life. Ho said he was
ready to preach, ready to seok,
ready to suffer, ready to sacrifice
and ready to die.

One of the
MOTORMATES

The real test of a motor oil is the super
test where the character of the "job"
calls for super-lubricating properties. The
consistent way in which Cycol Motor Oil
meets these heavy-duty requirements is
an absolute assurance of Cycol's depen
dability in every kind of motor-service.
There's a correct grade of Cycol for every type of motor but only
one quality Cycol sustained quality. Use the right grade regularly
for protection against motor troubles, for economical operation, for
longer car life.
"Sustained Quality" as ap
plied to Associated Gasoline
and Cycol Motor Oil means
that these two products con
stantly and successfully meet
the most rigid operative tests.
