IN MEMOKI \>f. On Friday night of February 17, our beloved friend and classmate, Erie Fouehe, passed on angel's wings, from this world of sorrow and disappointment to ever be with his Lord and Savior. Erie gave his heart to Christ and united with the church in child hood, and was ever after loyal to the Master’s cause, always in his place at Sunday School, prayer meetings and church, always ready in his quiet way, to do what his hands found to do. It was a bless ing to his associates and the pride of his parents. But now, that God has seen fit to call him home, we can live in the sweet hope, that when we sweep through the pearly gates, we shall behold him, in his garments of white, at the right hand of oui* blessed Lord Be it resolved, first. That as our Heavenly Father has deemed it best to call on our loved friend and as sociate from among us on earth to be with him and his angels around the throne, that we be submissive to his will, knowing that He doeth all things well. 2nd, That we will ever cherish his memory and strive to emulate his virtues and noble Christian character. 3rd, That we extend to his Sun day School teacher and classmates our heartfelt sympathy, and though you miss him in the class, yet you know that Heaven is made brighter by his presence, that he is being taught at the feet of Jesus. . 4th, That we extend our deepest sympathy to his father, mother, sis ter, and brother and bid them to re member that loss is his eter nal gain.

MISS BERTHA BUNN, Mrs. S. S. Speer. IN MEMORY OE LITTLE LEILA BOWDEN. The Death Angel has again come and taken from a happy father, a fond mother, their precious baby girl. It seems hard for them to give her up so early in life, but ’twas not too early to make heaven fairer and sweeter with her immor tal presence to the eye uf Faith, nothing is fairer,than the death of Children. We are stricken with sore an guish when we find the flower, which filled the home and hearts with so much sunshine and delight, broken from its stern and the blos som gone, but unto Faith even this is lovely. Lila’s earthly ministry w T as done. She has helped to sanc tify and lift heavenward the Very hearts that broke at her farewell and has gone from this trouble some sphere. She has gone to the house of many mansions where she will have no experience of a wearied mind and chilled affections but will be raptured as a blessed babe through the gates of Paradise. Ah ! this is tetter than to live to a ripe old age and inherit all the riches of tarth. You have given Leila ■ back to Him who lent her, but think a moment dear mother and father. t Have you given back all? No, you cannot give back to God those springs of new and deeper affection which were awakened at her com ing. Yon cannot give back to Him all the pleasures yon have had in dwelling with your darling. You are better, riper, richer in this hour of bereavement than before God has only taken the outward form jof your baby. He has taken her : only to keep, to watch, to love, and he will give her back some sweet day when you too have crossed over and can enjoy the heavenly rest ! with her. Her presence in the spirit land will lead you to enjoy daily the peace and pleasure of that blest | above. Such thoughts make you 1 better, purer, and gentler. 1 We cannot keep society with our ’ sainted dead and with the great God with whom they dwell with out feeling a nobler life throbbing through ns. Oh ! if we could only walk always in the light of celestial companion ship. Loved ones, weep not for Leila. Through your tears you ; saw her gently cradled in the arms of the radiant spirit throng, and pass triumphantly through the shining gates and hear the sweet echoes. “Suffer them to come,” almost caught a glimpse of that fair dwelling to which she was going. Knowing this, how can we grieve? May God help these afflicted ones to bear this trial and when they meet at His right hand, ’twill be their heaven to find that—she is there! Dear parents remember, “Tis a blessing to live, but a greater to die ; And the best of the world is its path to the sky.” It wont be long perhaps till you will wend your way along this nar row path to Leila’s home, but the way will be bright, made so by her guiding spirit. Oh, how glad she will bo to see “papa and mamma” coining. The pure white lily God has plucked from your garden on earth he has placed in a mansion on high to beautify and shed its per fume there to make it ready and more welcome for your home— coming. “She may not return, but to her thou shall go, When thy days are numbered and fin ished below; And it may to thy angel child be given. First to meet and welcome “mamma” to heaven; And there, reunited to part never more; One song shall ye sing, and one Savior adore.” A. L. P. RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF RALEIGH \ GLASS. Whereas. God has found growing in our midst a flower fit for his gardens of the good, and has transplanted from the earth to the fair fields of heaven, the life of our loved friend and class mate, Raleigh V. Glass. Therefore he it resolved by the members of Mrs. Julia McDonald’s class of the Pres byterian Sunday School. That we are grateful to God for the beautiful life that he allowed and helped to live in our friend who has just left us, and we thank Him that to Him she gave the glory for it all. That though we miss her here in our class and daily walks; though her bright smile and happy laugh no longer cheer our ways, she has left us in the memory of her sweet Christian character a deeper sense of the grace that brightens every countenance and hightens every labor of “God’s children here below;” and in her going away we know she makes those mansions of the blest seem to us more home-like and nearer to us than before. That we remember with joy the beauty am} sweetnt ss of her companionship and the still lingering fragrance of Christ’s love that filled her life and often wafted into our own. That we pray to him that gives and takes away and whose name is ever ♦ glor. ious, that we shall ever have such strength of grace divine that, as she now dwells in Christ we may ever be in Him and He in us, as llis word promises, and thus eve”* now our friend and \\y shall still dwell to gether in the Spirit. That we enter into heart-felt sympathy with those of her dear ones who yet linger with us, Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Glass, her uncle and aunt, and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Glass, her mother, father, sisters, and brother, and pray God’s blessing upon them always. That copies of these resolutions be fur nished the family of Mr. and Mrs. X. A.' Glass and Mr. and Mrs J. L. Glass. Miss Lucy Reagan.

LITTLI) NELL BROWN How sad our home seems now, since “Nell has been taken from us. She was a little boardar in onr home, but oh! how we did love her. She was the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brown. She was born May 23, 1906, died July 15,1907. Her stay with us on earth was short, but oh ! liovv sweet and beautiful. How we did enjoy hav ing her with us. Each one trying to he first to minister to her little wishes, as she made signs by pointing her little fingers, being able to utter only a few baby words, such “bye-bye” and “pie” (peep eye.) She was just learning to walk, and when I would coax her to walk she would come with little arms outstretched until she was near enough to put them about my neck and want me to take her up and carry her. It seems that I can almost feel the little arms aronnd me now. There is nothing about the home that does not remind us of her, she was so bright and plavfnl. How I wish we could get a glimpse of her in heaven, for if she was so beautiful and sweet here oft earth, how much more beautiful she must be in heaven, where all is joy and love. She was too pure and good for this world, so I think God was good to us in letting us have her for a while. And then He was good to Nell in taking her to heaven, where she will never know sorrow and suffering. But will be a shining light to lead ns on our way. I know she is happy playing with the children, for she seemed to enjoy it so much here. And the streets of the city shall be full of bovs and girls plaving in the streets thereof.—Zacli. 8-5. How we miss you, precious baby, . Is more than tongue or pen can tell, Yet we can try to ls‘ submissive To him who (loeth all things well. Hew we long to have you with us, But this we know can never be, You would not come back if you could. Only beckon us to go to thee. \Ye will try to meet you, darling, On that bright and happy shore, There we will live with Jesus, And we will have to part no more. Carrie Knott. Mrs H. E.
