Anderson, and to him we know the Heavenly Father has given one of the very choicest of the beautiful mansions, for his life life was one long reflection of the Christ in whom he had implicit faith and trust.

Mr. Anderson was born near Miam-isburg, Ohio, April 12. ls.44. and for til! years, 3 months and 17 days lived a noble man among men. He was united in marriage June 2.1th.

lsvs, to Mary Elizabeth Rush, and while no children came to bless this union, they lived as two children, trustful, happy ami obedient to the heavenly message "Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter the kingdom of Their devotion to each other made their home life truly beautiful, and even more, their home was blest by the abiding presence of the Saviour whom they both learned to worship early in life. John Anderson was a christian gentleman in religion, business and politics, always standing on the side of righteousness and truth. His friends he numbered by the score and his neighbors can testify to his never failing help in time of sickness and need. Mr. Anderson united wit the Methodist Episcopal church at Ogden, Indiana, more than thirty years ago and had been a faithful, consistent member.

Years ago he transferred his membership to the Methodist Episcopal church at Greenfield and served on the official board up to the time he left for Florida, where he again transferred his membership, always believing he could do more good by being a member of his resident church. Mr. Anderson was one of the loval sons who wore the blue, being a mem- her of Company B. Sth Indiana Volunteers, in the Civil War. No one could have been more proud than he of the little button he always wore, which told the heroic struggle of a brave man for the country he loved.

He was a loval member of Samuel II. Dunbar Post, No. 92 A. R. until he went south, when he joined the St.

Petersburg Post. They are all mourn-! ing with us today. As a tribute to his patriotism the Ladies' Circle of the G. A. R.

of St. Petersburg- placed on his breast the Hag he loved and de- fended. Three years ago his health began to fail and he had been a constant suf- ferer ever since. Although the agony l.if no one ever heard him complain or question why; and only those who watched by him can know the perfect trust and sweet content and peace of his daily communion with the One who was helping him bear his burdens bravely even unto the Valley of the Shadow. They spent one year in Florida, one in jsoutnern lexas ana tnen returned to Florida, hoping the change would benefit him, but to no avail, for the Father needed this saint below to join the Innumerable Host of the redeemed above.

For "Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of His Saints." And while today we mourn with his wTife, his brothers, sisters and relatives and friends, we must look be-vond the cloud to the silver lining for John Anderson wouid have us see not the hand of affliction, but look up into the face of his blessed Lord and say I "Thy will be Yea, even sav wtn ne Poef I shall one day stand cold. And list for the sound by the water i of the boat- man oar. And perchance the well known hail gain shall echo along the strand. I shall know the loved who have gone before, And joyfully sweet will the meeting be. When o'er the river, the peaceful river The angel of death shall carry me."
