SHIFFERLY "There Is no prison for the soul That, dwells within God’s boundless peace; And sickness builds no dungeon walls For one who knoeth sin’s sursease; He soars on tireless opinions high And lives heneath the open sky.” John W. Shifferly, son of John and Christina Shifferly was born at Beaver Dam. Allen county, Ohio, January 14, 1852, and departed this life to be | with God, Oct. 21. 1924. having attain- 1 ed the ripe age of 72 years, 9 months' 1 and 7 days. . His parents were farmers, and it was on the farm in the "little red school house.” that he received his » education. His was a Christian; and .at the age of eighteen, Brother ShifIferly was converted to God, rordaint ing true to the faith and to his God i through life. At the time of his coni ( version, he united with the Methodist > Episcopal church at Beaver Dam. i On Dec. 16. 1880. he was united in I marriage to Fanny A. Standifbrd. - Shortly there after he came to Adams County, Indiana and purchas- ; ed a tract of land in St. Mary’s town- > ship just east of Boho. About two years later he sold out and purchased I the tract of land in Union township, t which was his homo until the time of - death. | On June 3, 1883, Mr. Shifferly and >. his wife united with *he Calvary r Evangelical church, where he remain!(ed a valubale and highly esteemed ? member until death. •| The first great sorrow came to him J ( that fall when his beloved wife went *I to God. Sept. 14.—He then took his » youthful son Otis and returned to his [parents in Ohio where he lived over 5 a year. ' ' Returning to Indiana, he was married February 25, 1885 to Lydia ■ E. Fuhrman of Preble township. ■ Adams county. For two years he t farmed in Preble township, after which he moved back on his own farm in Union township; his home to the time of the decease of his dear I companion of full forty years, she preceding hint in death only last February, the 29th. Mr. Shifferly was a man of splendid Christian character, highly esteemed ■ by his entire community. He stood 1 for the things of righteousness at all times and he stood squarely and positively. He was very active in the ' battle for prohibition and was a staunch supporter of the Prohibition Party. He was a good farmer, a splendid neighbor and friends, and above all a faithful consistent Christian. Seldom, if ever, was his seat vacant at prayer meeting, Sunday school, or preaching services. His home was a Christian home where the children were taught the tme principals of righteousness. The family alter was an unfailing institution of the home. The greatest heritage that can be bequeathed children a Christian home thus fell to the children of this home. Today they rise up to bless and hallow the memory of a Godly father and mother. Mr. Shifferly filled practically all the positions of trust in the church and with marked ability and faithfulness. The Evangelical Messenger, the church paper was a weeklyvisitor throughout practically all the years of his identity with Jhe church. He stood for those things his church stressed; a genuine and thorough conversion, and a life of vital Godliness. A man of God has fallen! Who will close in the rank? Who will take his place in the church of Jesus Christ? The following children survive: Otis Shifferly, of St. Mary’s township; Vernon G. Shifferly, of Sturgis, Mich.; Mrs. Wildus Brown, of Convoy, Ohio, and Ivan D. Shifferly of St. Mary's township, and one daughter, Gertrude, preceded him in death. Seven grandchildren survive: Doris, Eldred, Ermel Dale and Mildred Shifferly; Lois, Aria and 110 Brown. Two brothers, Gideon and Jacob, are deceased. The following brothers [ and sisters are still living: Fred Shif-1 ferly, of Winlock, Washington; William Shifferly, of Canada, and Mrs. Mary Lugibilk of Bluffton, Ohio; Mrs.

Sadie Moore, of Lima. Ohio, and Mrs. Maggie Fuhrman, of Decatur. A great moment in the eternal career of this righteous man has just pass- i ed. In the words of the poet we may express It; 1 "O change—stupendous change! There Iles the soulless clod! The sun eternal breaks; The new Immortal wakes— Wakes with his God.” Just a little stronger faith ami 1 think we can hear the Soldier of God singing; "The stars shall shine for a thousand years, A thousand years and a day; But God and I will love and live When the stars are passed away.” Funeral.

SHIPLEY, Pastor. Ralph Krill Is Second Lieutenant At I. U. Bloomington. Ind., Oct. 27—Ralph Krill, a Decatur student attending Indiana university, is a newly appointed second lieutenant of the reserve ofllicers’ training corps. He is one of ninety-six cadet officers in the university's regiment of more than one thousand men amt has worked up to his position as second lieutenant by virtue of meritorious performaces on the drill field and in the class room. The enrollment of the Indiana university R. O. T. C., now in its ninth year, hreaks all records with 1.034 stuincluding 625 freshmen, 300 sophomores, 57 juniors and 39 seniors. The juniors and seniors make up the enrollment of the advanced courses. The substantial increase in enroll- ‘ inent in these courses over last year. ] it is hoped, will be sufficient to counteract the unsatisfactory impression gained hy army inspectors last year on account of the small numbers doing advanced work. After losing “distinguish college” rating from the War Department last year for the first time in five years, chances look good for the Hoosier state university soldiers to regain their prestige this j year.

When a man runs for office he wants his best personalities promoted—but it is the wise man who knows that the wise voters are not influenced by perfumed promises and “how is the wife this morning?” “Be Yourself” in Politics is good merchandising the same as it is in mens clothing—and because we come out each season with the truth —the goods—the values—and without exaggeration—we are winning, man by man, men who are going to elect the best man Nov.
