IN MEMORIUM.
N,-U'UertyRrAfro ileaT *
On the thirteenth day of this month
at a few minutes pa3t six o’clock in
in the evening. When the feathered
musicians who have warbled their
tiny notes all day tuck their heads
beneath dainty wings, and sleep, and
wake again to sing—the time when
little children wearily turn from
their play and seek solace in their
mother’s clasping arms, the pure soul
of little “Nellie Humphries, left the
poor little wasted body, and soared
away to the waiting arms of Him,
who said "Suffer little children to
come unto Me and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
For many long weeks this dear lit
tle girl had bravely battled with a
complication of diseases, and sweetly,
and patiently she bore her suffering.
There was nothing left undone that
could be done for Nellie. One of our
best physicians exhausted his skill
and remained untiring in his ef
forts to relieve her on to the last
day, and a faithful trained nurse was
in constant attendence at her bed
side for several long weeks. Kind
friends came and went, and did what
they could. The poor devoted mother
and father worked hoped, and pray
ed that their darling might be spared
to them, but to no avail for God
knows best.
Nellie was a bright pupil of the
writer for several months of last
year, and was attentive to her books,
obedient in her deportment and was
a motherly little soul to those youn
ger than herself in her family, but we
pause to think and wonder if we could
be given magic power, would we call
back to earth, this little girl who had
crept into the hearts of all who knew
her. Would we do it? With tear-wet
eyes we answer, nq, no, for the
battle of life is a hardfought battle
at best, and she is now safely housed
from every temptation. No summer's
heat can harm her. No wintry blast
call chill the fair frail little form ever
again.
There are many lovely flowers that
will not thrive in alien soil, and this
was one of them, for a while they
grow and bloom, the rare petals open
to the sun, but one day our wateful
eyes can see that our little blossom
fades, and pales, the leaves one by
one fall away and at last with an
guished hearts and heated breath we
see it turn to dust at our feel. Earth
never so fair again for us, but
heaven seems nearer.
She has caught the fair splendor
She has heard the low melodious wel
come at heavens bright gate,
And she calls back, I am waiting by
the river of life, near this
beautiful gate.

SUNSHINE AND SHADOWS.
Golden sunshine, shadows fading
Borne from the sky above,
Touching the earth with your light
and shading,
Infold it gently in love.
The evening sky the shadows drape,
Blending the colors anew,
They seem to sooth the heaving
landscape,
And calm the rolling blue.

Memory Vereee, 4, 5— Golden Text,
John vl, 35—Commentary Prepared
b> Rev. D. M. 8tearns.
When they saw a great victory they
sang unto the Lord, but when only a
few days later they cume to the bitter
waters of Marnb they murmured. A
few weeks later they murmured again
and wished themselves back In Egypt,
where they said they ate bread to the
full, and ere long they murmured ugalu
because there was no water to drink
(Ex. xv. 23-27; xvi. 2-12; xvll. 1-Si. Note
the word "murmur" at least ten times
in connection with these three Inci
dents. As It Is written In Ps. cvi, 13.
14, 21. 25: "They soon forgot His works.
They waited not for His counsel, but
lusted exceedingly In the wilderness
and tempted God In the desert. * • •
They forgot God their Saviour which
had done great things lu Egypt. • * •
They murmured In their tents and
hearkened not unto the voice of the
Lord." These things are written for
our admonition that we may not mur
mur, for when the people complained
It displeased the Lord (1 Cor. x, 10;
Nam. xl, 1).
The waters at Marah were sweetened
by a tree which the Lord shewed to
Moses and which he cast Into the wa
ters. This, to my mind, takes us back
to the tree of life in Eden and onwnrd
to the trees of Ezek. xlvli, 12, and the
tree of life of Rev. xxii, 2. 1 think also
of the tree that recovered the lost axe
ill Kings vl, 6>, and In all 1 see Him
who alone can sweeten the bitter nnd
recover the lost. Meditate upon His new
nain»-‘T am the Lord that henleth
thee”—nnd be patient till He brings
you to Elltn ixv, 20. 27).
In response to their cry for food He
brought quails and satisfied them with
the bread of heaven. They spake
against God. They said: Can God fur
nish a table in the wilderness? * * *
Can He give bread also? Can He pro
vide flesh for Ills people? Then He
rained down manna upon them to eat
nnd gave them the corn of heaven.
Man did eat angels' food. He sent
them meat to the full (Ps. cv, 40;
lxxviii, 19. 20. 24 . 25>. He said to
Moses, “Behold. 1 will rain bread from
heaven for you. and the people shall
go out nnd gather a certain rate every
day" (lesson verse 4). or, us In the mar
gin, "the portion of n day In bis day."
It came in this way: When the dew
that Iny upon the ground was gone up
It left a small round thiug. white like
coriander seed, nnd It tasted like
wafers mode with honey (verses 13. 14.
311. Moses said unto them, "This Is
the bread which the Lord hath given
you to eat" (verse 15). They were to
gatner It every morning before the sun
was hot. for then It melted, and they
were to gather It every man according
to his eating, some more, some less.
They were not to keep It over till the
morrow, for It would spoil, except on
the sixth day. for then God would care
for it that it should not spoil, for they
were not to gather It on the Sabbath
(verses 10 to 26). So perverse and des
perately wicked Is the heart of man
that some kept It over till the morning,
and it bred worms and stank, and
some went out to look for It on the
Sabbath (verses 20, 27).
When they first saw It they said.
"What is this?" Therefore it is called
manna (verse 15. margin). They ground
it In mills, or beat it in a mortar, or
baked it In pans and made cakes of
It, and It tasted like fresh oil (Num.
xl, 7-0). They did eat it forty years
until they came to the borders of
Canaan (verse 35). A golden pot of it
was placed In the ark of the covennnt
when that ark was made and kept for
a memorial (verses 33. 34; Heb. lx. 4).
He who gave them this food has also
given us Himself, the true bread from
heaven, and has said: "1 am the living
bread which came down from heaven.
If any man eat of this bread he shall
live forever. And the bread that 1
will give Is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world" (John vi, 61).
Read John vi. 47-58.
Bellovlng on Him means receiving
Him according to John i, 12. The
phrase “every man according to his
eating" (verses 18. 21) Is found also in
connection with the passover lamb
(chapter xll. 4). for whether it be the
lamb or the manna it is Himself, and
we are reminded of the words "He
that eatetb me, even be. shall Hve by
me" (John vi, 57). There la life, and
life more abundantly. The murmuring
at Rephldlm brought them water from
the smitten rock (xvii. 6), and the New
Testament comment is. “They drank
of that spiritual Rock that went with
them, and that Rock was Christ” (1
Cor. x, 4, margin).
The Incident at Rephldlm concerning
the conflict with Amalek (xvll, 8-16)
and the victory of the Israelites under
Joshua while Aaron and Hur stayed
up the hands of Moses until the going
down of the sun suggests the conflict
of flesh and spirit and that we are to
give the old sinful nature no quarter
whatever. We have one at the Fa
ther’s right hand for us who ever
liveth to make intercession and who
cannot fall, but we must be willing
to be always delivered to death, the
death of self for His sake (II Cor. iv,
10, 11).
Note the new name, Jehovah-nlssi,
the Lord my banner (xvii, 15. margin),
and remember Song 11. 4. "He brought
me to the banqueting house, and His
banner over me was love.”

On Friday morningj bright and
early we noticed a hack full and
wagon full of our folks fully equip-
ed for a day’s fishing, but the best
part of it all was the basket or box
of good dinner in the wagon. These
folks proved to be the families of H.
L. Lester and Mr. J. Thompson and u
few others. They went to Young’s
Mill for the day and report a good
draught of fishes. They enjoyed their
fish fry dinner immensely.
While we were passing along
Trursday at most dinner time, we
noticed one of our young lady neigh
bors hurriedly passing along and
looking so well pleased, say to several
of her friends, “Say, come over to
the house tonight I’ve something to
snow you. I havent time to talk
much now, as I’m invited to a dinner,
but be sure to come.” This sweet
lady was Miss Vibra Thompson and
she entertained highly a host of her
friends at a watermelon cutting that
Thursday night. This scribe heard
but did not partake.

times to have Mary with U3 at Sun
day school.
Little Nellie (Jmphries passed into
the “Great Beyond” last Thursday
afternoon. She had been sick three
months with a combination of troub
les, it seems. All that was possible
to be done, was done for the little
sufferer. A kind and good doctor
and a well trained nurse, Mrs. Grif
fith of West Point and the care of
loving parents were her attendants.
Nettie was eight years old, a bright
and 3weet little girl, loved by all who
knew her. God has seen fit to trans
plant her as a bright flower in para
dise. Maybe her angel spirit will
be a guiding star beckoning the
dear ones to come. Father and
mother and brothers, do not grieve
but be submissive to the divine will
of the Master. Your loss is her eter
nal gain.

watermelon cutting in the morning
In the afternoon the little boys and
girls jumped the rope and ran foot
races across the bridge and even the
older men joined them in racing and
jumping the rope, too, but the fun
niest of all was to see the older men
play “mumble peg” and see the one
who lost the game “root the peg”

joyed the fun. Every one seemed
to have a jolly time and were sorry
when the time came to return home.
