Society Adopts Memorial.
The “Woman’s Foreign Mission¬

Friday afternoon, Sept, lsr, moved
and adopted that the following res¬
olutions should be given as a mem¬
orial to one of their most beloved
members:—
That in the death of Mrs. Sallie
P. Weaver, who, while on a visit
at the home of her youth, was call¬
ed to lie down “To that long,
dreamless sleep that separates
Time’s evening from Eternity’s
fair morning-” we have lost one of
our oldest and most devoted mem¬
bers.
In spite of her approaching age
she was active, energetic, cheerful,
always ready to occupy her place
in church, or at her society.
Strangers or those who did not
know well, often thought her
brusque, but those who knew her
were aware that it was only can¬
dor of soul that never wore a mask
or uttered a deceitful word.
She was as true to conscience as
a needle to its pole. Therefore be it
1. Resolved, That we bow in
humble submission to the will of
God, who, although his ways are
often mysterious, yet doeth all
things well.
2. Resolved,—That we send to
her bereaved relatives this testi¬
monial of our affection for her.
3. Resolved further, That a
copy of the same shall be inscribed
in our book ot minutes, that her
memory may be kept fresh as the
odor of sweet smelling flowers for
th6 years to come.

Mrs. Sam Thompson.

Some one has wisely said that
society’s “brow” needs to be dec¬
orated with women’s jewels who
are not too highly educated or cul¬
tured to love their husbands and
to be faithful to them ; not too
brilliant to be good mothers and
wise counsellors for their children,
and not too progressive to wear
their husband’s names and reflect
credit upon themselves.

Actions die—sometimes; words
Jive “Be sure you are right, then
go ahead,” was Davy Crocket’s
motto in life. Have a purpose in
life a right purpose—then press
on! Success will finally crown
your efforts. If the world des¬
pises you because you do not fol¬
low its way, if you are right show
it by your life, and finally the
world will turn to your way of
thinking and give you credit.
“Girls, yon cheapen yourselves
by lack of purpose in life,” says
Rena L. Miller. “You show com¬
mendable zeal in pursuing your
studies; your alertnss in compre¬
hending and ability in surmount¬
ing difficult problems have become
poverbial; nine times out’of every
ten you outrank your brothers
thus far; but when the end is at¬
tained, the goal reached, whether
it be the graduating certificate
from a graded school, or a college
diploma, for nine out of every ten
it might as well be added thereto,
‘dead to further activity,’ or,
‘sleeping until marriage shall res
urrect her. y n
If my boy should leave school
with his head full of history and
grammer and the classics and
modern languages, and all the
other studies of the curriculum,
and yet should not have in his
heart to yield a willing obedience
to law—the law of the school, the
law of the community in which he
lives, the law of the State aud na¬
tion—we should feel that his time
had been thrown away. We need
in all our schools insistence upon
obedience to proper authority, for
these boys of today are the citi¬
zens of tomorrow and everywhere
throughout the length and bredth
of the land we must have more
prompt and willing obedience to
law.

Fathers now basking in the sun¬
set of life may not readily recall
all their early experience in life,
their struggles aud triumphs of
their childhood, but every feature
of their childhood home, the play¬
houses they helped their sisters
build are photographed upon the
heart’s tablet and will never fade
away. The golden light of eterni¬
ty will not dim the brightness of
this picture. One will never for¬
get the place of his birth, the lit¬
tle broken cart, the sled and kite,
and the older brother who led the
way to the hillside where the fair¬
est wild flowers bloomed. These
sacred memories will never grow
less bright, or dim with age.

Weather Reports Save Money.
In spite of the standing jokes
about the weather man, it is pro¬
bable that for every dollar spent
on the Weather Bureau $10 are
saved. At the time of the Miss¬
issippi flood of 1897 $15,000,000
worth of live stock and other pro¬
perty were saved as a result of
warnings issued a week ahead.
Signals displayed for a single hur¬
ricane have detained in port ves
sel valued, with their cargoes, at
$20,000,000. 1 he West Indian
