"Christian with desire fell sick," we read, "and Hopeful also had a fit or two of the same disease. Wherefore here they lay by it a while, crying out because of their pangs, If you see my beloved, tell him that I am sick of love." David, Paul, Bernard, Bunyan himself, Rutherford, Brainerd, M'Cheyne, and many others crowd in upon the mind. I shall but instance John Flavel and Mrs.
Councilmen 1st Ward David Clark Doan, Henry Everett, John Gill. 2d Ward John Erwin, Charles Hickox, Henry B. Payne. 3d Ward Alexander Seymour, Alexander S. Cramer, Orville Gurley. Mayor Lorenzo A.
