FAREWELL FN PASTOR What 1 little affection the peopn may have h<1 for the King was lost by his refusal to 1 >t• reconciled to his The Princess Stephanie wa at Leopold's bedside twenty rafrillies after his death, and was greatly grieved that she was unable to see her father before he died. While Belgium is officially in nfou rnlng, and all the newspapers are j appearing with black borders, then' is only slight evidence of a personal grief. The physicians have announced that the King's death was due f.o embolism of the heart. They said; "We wen apprehensive when the operation was performed, being aware that his heart was diseased, but thr operation was absolutely necessary. Thanks to the operation thr King's death was painless."By Cnitrd Press. PKl'SSKLS Dee. IT.

Ti'««anl(Mi Mays the Li<|. nor Traffic* Witli a Venj»vaiioc.The Spirit yesterday received a cominunication from a friend in Delancey in which a temperance sermon delivered recently at Adrian is described as follows: "Last Sabbath evening the Rev. H. G. Teagarden, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Adrian, preached a temperance sermon to hip congregation which he did himself credit, and the cause he represented. His text was taken from Prov. 31st chapter, 4th and 5th verses, which gave him a witl.- range on the .subi'<i. II. availed himself of that fact, and handled his ubjeet welt «»th from an economic and social stand] mint. also showing the i-vil induence the liquor traffic had on our ilmne and Foreign Missions and Unchurch in general, which showed that he had given the subject a deep study "He drew attention to the greax waste of money to the nation, and the heavy tax laid upon it to protect the liquor traffic, coupled with the detruction of men and morals, and ad. ised his congregation to do all in their power to destroy it. He showed also where the responsibility lay in illowing such a thing to exist to curse and blight our land. Even the children are dot safe where it (the truffle) existed, and predicted its speedy oxerthrow. | am sure any one would be delighted to listen to a temperance sermon from Brother Teagarden anywhere, or on any occasion, as he preeiiLs the truth in a way that cannot be understood.

On the fatal Sunday he announced to his father and young sister, Mary, that the boat was at last ready, and in the afternoon the three of them set out for a pleasure trip, little dreaming of t he j dark cloud of mi.-fortune looming up | on the horizon of their happy lives. 1 "After a final testing, the sloop put off from Dock 13, on the old French Canal, and had proceeded but tifty feet from the whailing when a sudden puff of wind swung the boom of the sail around and swept Mary Hennigh in to the water.

The wind was carrying tinboat upstream and the powerful current was sweeping his son downstream, thus widening the distance between them. Realizing that his efforts to handle the boat successfully alone were futile, and becoming desperate at the .sight of the terrible misfortune imminent, Mr. liennigh jumped overboard himself, with the forlorn hope that he might render assistance to his son. Hut the current was so strong and the suction so great that it was impossible to reach him, and he himself narrowly escaped k drowning, and was rescued with dif\ Jleulty. \ "Immediately after the young maw, had sprung to his sister's assistance.
