WINFIELD MONTHLY HERALD, FEBRUARY AND MARCH, 1891.

Bro. A. B. Arment has returned from a trip to Denver.

---
DIED. January 16 there was great excitement in the city over the drowning of Paul Bedillion and Thomas S. Morgan. While skating on the river, Paul went down through the ice. Morgan took off his skates and coat and went in after him. Both were drowned. Morgan was urged by some companions on the shore to let Paul go and save himself, which he might have done as he was an expert swimmer, but he said "No, I'll save him or we will die together." Finding he could not save him, he told his companions to tell the folks good- bye at home and tell them I'm all right, and they went down to rise no more. It was nearly an hour before their bodies were recovered as the water was deep and they were some forty feet from the shore. The funeral services were held Sunday, Jan. 18th, at the Baptist church, of which Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, Thomas' father and mother, and Mr. and Mrs. Luce, his sister and husband were members. The pastors of the Presbyterian, M. E. and Baptist churches took part in the services. It is estimated that 2,500 people were gathered together at this time, over 1,900 by actual count viewed the remains at the church. A monument is to be erected to the memory of Thomas S. Morgan by the citizens of Winfield as a small tribute of their appreciation of a noble hero who would give his life to try and save his fellowman. The bereaved friends of both Paul and Thomas have our heartfelt sympathy and prayers in this deep affliction.

 

[MORE PERSONALS: HERALD, FEBRUARY AND MARCH, 1891.]

DIED. The sad news comes to us of the sudden death of our noble Sunday School worker, Rev. J. P. Ash. Not only our own State, but the whole Baptist denomination will mourn his loss. On whom will his mantle fall.

---
The pastor, Bro. Wright, has been helping Rev. R. S. Cook, of Arkansas City, for the last three weeks, in a series of meetings, preaching every evening, and the Lord is wonderfully blessing them. The house has been crowded and many are seeking and finding Jesus precious to their souls. Bro. Cook has already baptised a large number as the result of these meetings, and more to follow. At the last meeting held, the members of the church presented the pastor of this church with a handsome purse of money, amounting to $50.00. This was entirely unexpected as all he asked from them was to pay his railroad expenses, which were $5.00. Bro. Cook has baptized some thirty as a result of the meetings. Bro. Cook with the cooperation of the members of the church is doing a Grand work for the Master. May God continue to bless them.

MARRIED. Married by the pastor at the parsonage, February 19th, Phillip M. Kelley and Elnora B. Belveal.

[OBITUARY: JONATHAN STRETCH.]

WINFIELD MONTHLY HERALD - SEPTEMBER, 1891.

OBITUARY.
Jonathan Stretch was born in Butler County, Ohio, November 7, 1817. Here he lived until 14 years of age when his father and mother with five brothers and three sisters, moved to Battle Ground, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. When 19 years of age, upon profession of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, he united with the First Baptist Church by baptism, at the hands of Rev. D. E. French.

In February 1849 he married Miss Delila Knight, who departed this life some ten years ago. God gave them seven children to bless their married life of whom only three girls and one son remain.

Mr. Stretch, with his three daughters and one son, came to Winfield in March, 1884, and for over seven years has lived in our midst.

During his lifetime he has occupied positions of honor and trust, not only in temporal affairs but spiritual as well. He was one of the constituent members of several Baptist Churches in Indiana, and during the years of 56 to 64 he was the deacon of our brother, Rev. J. C. Post, who assisted in the funeral services. He was always very much interested in the educational work and not only subscribed the amount necessary to constitute himself a life member of Morgan Park Theological Seminary, but he also made several of his pastors life members. He has ever tried to live a consistent Christian life, and during the twelve weeks of confinement to his bed he did not murmur or complain.

Wednesday morning at 8:30, surrounded by his relatives and friends, he went to sleep in Jesus. His spirit took its flight to the God who gave it--to that happy meeting with the loved ones who had gone before.

---
Death and Funeral Services of Jonathan Stretch.
Just as we were going to press last month, June 24th, our dear brother Jonathan Stretch passed from his home below to his home above. Bro. Stretch has been sick for a long time, but has never been heard to murmur or complain. His two daughters, Mrs. Fannie Fisher and Miss Jessie Stretch, and the only son, Mr. Ethel Stretch, were with him in his last sickness and when his spirit took its flight; the other daughter, Mrs. Flora Sibbitt, of Wellington, Illinois, visited him during his last sickness, but was not permitted to be present at the last.

The funeral services were held in the Baptist Church, conducted by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Wm. Wilbur and Rev. J. C. Post, his former pastor.

The remains of a daughter, Louie, who preceded the father some four years, were exhumed and with the remains of the father, accompanied by two daughters, were taken back to the old family burying bround at Battle Ground, Indiana.

Miss Iva Crane and Miss Nellie Chase have both commenced their schools, one at New Salem and the other at Kellogg, and this will take them away from many of our services.

---
The pastor and wife expect, before another issue of the HERALD to be back in their old childhood home, in Michigan. They expect to leave Winfield October 12th, going to Atchison to attend the State Convention, and the next week go to Michigan, to be absent some five or six weeks. The pulpit will be well supplied during the pastor's absence.

In consequence of the absence of the pastor, the November issue of this paper may be a little late.

Resolutions on the payment of the church debt
by the women of the church.
Whereas, Our church has been burdened with debt which has seriously embarrassed us, and

Whereas, Our pastor, one year ago, devised a way by which said debt has been paid off in full and we are now free to prosecute the church work unhindered by debt, and

Whereas, We realize this has been accomplished by the indomitable energy as well as the prayerful and faithful work of our pastor and Mrs. Wright, and

Whereas, We as women of the church especially desire to show our sincere appreciation of their untiring zeal in this direction, therefore:

Resolved, That we tender them our heartfelt thanks for their noble and self-sacrificing effort in our behalf.

Resolved, 2. That our pastor be requested to use his utmost endeavor to keep us from incurring any debts in the future.

Resolved, 3. That Mr. and Mrs. Wright are now on the eve of departure to enjoy a vacation of several weeks that we send with them many wishes for a pleasant journey and safe return.

Committee: MRS. H. E. SILLIMAN, MRS. J. S. MANN, MISS IDA BYERS.

---
JUBILEE held at the Baptist Church in honor of having all debts paid. Thirty-five of our ladies pledged a certain amount, providing the mortgage could be cancelled and all debts paid. They completed their task, and as a compliment to them other members provided a splendid oyster supper Friday eve., Oct. 9th, at which time they made their report. Prof. L. M. Gordan pro-vided the music, the other pastors were present, beside some of our prominent citizens adding much to the occasion.

The reports were listened to with profound interest as each one gave her experience in raising her pledge. If we only had the space, it would be interesting to give a full account of each one. Some of them paid the full amount in cash. Others paid a part, and sold milk or rented rooms or organs; knitting hoods and creepers; making bread, working in offices and sewing for neighbors; selling tickets for entertainments, writing out warrants for the arrest of people; giving concerts, Japanese weddings, socials, etc.

[PERSONALS.]

The pastor and wife have returned from their vacation. Many pleasant gatherings were held at the "old home" in Michigan. The friends from the East and the West gathered for the reunion.

There was one vacant chair in each home since last we met. "When shall we meet again?" Perhaps never on earth, but we trust in Heaven, where we shall meet to part no more.

While the son and grandson, Fred M. Wright and family from Minnesota, were visiting at the old home, a telegram came, saying his house and contents, together with his barn, sheds, etc., were burned to the ground. There was only a small insurance on the house.

The pastor and members are planning to train the new members for the Master's service.

We want to have a general roll call in the church the last of April or the first of May, and we want EVERY ABSENT MEMBER to write a letter to be read when their name is called. Do not forget it. We hope each member of the church will make a free-will offering for the Lord's Treasury, just what they feel willing to give, but give something.

[GOLD FIELDS: CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORADO.]

Wonderful New Mining District.
Gold Fields at Cripple Creek, Colorado.
Reliable experts claim this is today the richest camp in Colorado. Assays average $100 per ton, and have run as high as $5,000. Placer and quartz mining can be profitably carried on. These new gold fields are well worth investigating. They are about 18 miles from Florissant, Colorado, on Colorado Midland Railway. Great numbers of people are now rushing to Fremont, the chief town of the district. Daily stages between Florissant and Fremont. You can reach Florissant, the nearest railroad station, quickly and comfortably by taking the Frisco Line and Santa Fe Route.

For full particulars about this wonderful camp, address Chas. L. Lee, General Passenger Agent, Colorado Midland R'y, Denver, Col.

WILL SOON BE READY.
Another One of Uncle Sam's Farm Patches Opened.
FOUR MILION ACRES IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
It is expected that President Harrison by proclamation will open the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands that adjoin Oklahoma on the west, by or before the first of May this year. People looking for a nice quarter-section of land can here secure it, and they should be prepared to make selection.

Everyone should remember that there is only one railroad that runs into these lands, and that is the CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND & PACITIC, and its wide range of termini gives excellent facilities for the people of the United States to go by that route and file their claim. Its eastern termini is Chicago; its northern, Minneapolis and St. Paul; its wester, Denver and Pueblo.

Another eastern termini is Kansas City, and all parties from the south-eastern States arriving at this great Missouri River metropolis secure through cars via the "ROCK ISLAND."

Write at once for maps and folder, that gives correctly each piece of land opened for settlement, and it will be mailed to you and on your request to your friends, free, by addressing

JOHN SEBASTIAN, G. T. & P. A.,
C., R. I. & P. R'y, Chicago.

We commence the third year with some 400 members, free of debt, and a balance on the Treasurer's books in favor of the church, and as we have some of the best financial and businessmen in the church, and very small expenses compared to the other churches, he will now leave the management of the finances in their hands, and devote his energies to the spiritual work of the church.

 

[MORE PERSONALS: WINFIELD MONTHLY HERALD - JUNE, 1892.]

Our brother, H. T. Trice, met the pastor last week and asked about the finances of the church. When told the treasury was overdrawn, he asked the pastor to go home with him, when he gave him a check for $50 and said, "We don't want you to be bothered about the finances." This was in addition to what brother Trice had given before. He is very benevolent in his contributions, and yet "one should not be burdened and another eased," each member should help according to his or her ability, "as the Lord hath prospered," at least one tenth. Those who find fault about collections, and with the pastor for speaking of finances, are always the ones who give little or nothing. The next time you hear one finding fault about these matters, just ask the

treasurer how much they are contributing, and I will venture that you will find their last year's subscription is not paid.

---
The church was well filled Friday evening, June 3rd, at our roll call. The music and the responses were most excellent.
