The Child Labor Bill-What It
Will Mean.
The child labor bill, passed by
the Lower House, provides that
noxjhild under 10 years of age
shall be employed in any factory
within the state under any circum¬
stances; that after Jan. 1, 1907, no
chib of 12 years shall be so em¬
ployed unless such child is an or¬
phan and has no other means of
support, or unless a widowed moth¬
er or aged or disabled father is de¬
pendent upon the labor of such
child, in which event such parent
shall file in the factory a certifi¬
cate from the county Ordinary.
It is further provided that after
Jan. 1, 1909, no child under 14
years of age shall be employed ip
any factory between the hours of
7 p. m. and 6 a. m.
The compulsory education fea¬
ture of the law provides that after
Jan. 1, 1908, no child under 14
years of age shall be employed in
a factory unless he or she can
write simple sentences and shall
have attended school for three
months each year until after pub¬
lic school age, six weeks of school
attendance to be consecutive. It
provides that certificates of birth
of child employees shall be filed in
the factories, and it names a pen¬
alty for furnishing false certifi¬
cates. Agents or representatives
of the factories hiring such chil¬
dren as are under age are liable
for penalties, as are parents or
guardians who hire out children
in violation of the law.

Resolution Adopted by the Cov¬
ington Methodist Sunday
School inmemory of Mrs. R.
C. Clecklen
M hereas, in the Providence of
God Mrs. Lizbeth Moss Cleckler
has been called from our midst to
that abiding place “not madejwith
hands, eternal in the heavens,” Be
it resolved by the Covington Meth¬
odist Sunday School,
That while we are saddened and
made heavy-hearted by our irrepa¬
rable loss, we thank God for hal¬
lowed me mores of the deceased,
for the gracious influence of her
beautiful, unselfish Christian life
—an iniluence felt not only within
the circle of this immediate Sun¬
day Sunday school, but throghout
the entire community.
“For every soul that touched
hers be it the slightest contact
got Some therefrom little some good, aj kindly
grace,
thought,
An inspiration not unfelt, a bit
of courage
For tde darkening sky, a gleam
of faith
To brave the thickening ills of
life,
A glimpse of blighter skies be¬
yond the gathering mists,
To make this life worth while
And Heaven a surer heritage.”
So wondrously had she caught
the spirit of the master that “not
to be ministered unto, but to min¬
ister” epitomized the whole mo¬
tion of her unselfish life.
Possessing in such full measure
the “faith that .makes faithful”,
the highest type ot Christian con
secation, her life was one cf per¬
sonal sacrifice glad service, unsel¬
fish helpfulness. With a heart
fiill°d the word, and spirit and
love of Christ, truly she|interpret
ed in her daily walk the beauty of
Christ, for “t,he dear Lord’s best
in* , prefers a)re consecrated souls
tfiu gospel of a life is more than
books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the
light goes out
The saintly fact survives,
The blessed Master none can
doubt
Revealed in holy lives.”
Be it further resolved
1. That we extend to the be¬
reaved ones our deepest sympathy
and assure Jthem that we share
their grief, for we have lost a loyal
friend, a faithful teacher, a conse¬
crated worker.
“Thou knowest not”, saith th*
Master. The veiling however is
but for a time, for He hastens to
us the assurance “but thou shalt
understand hereafter.”
2. That a copy ot these resolu¬
tions be furnished the family of
the deceased, another engrossed in
our record book, and a third he
prepared for publication in the lo¬
cal piper.
Mrs. C. A. Harwell. )
Miss Mr. A. Carrie H. Foster. Davis. ^Committee.
)
The superintendent, Mr. R. P.
Lester spake in earnest words the
the loss he sustained, in the £pas c -
ing away of this earnest, willing,
and efficient Christian worker.
Dr. M. J.Cofera life long friend
added words ot her faithfulness,
from girhood to the chnrch.
The above resolutions were unan
imously adopted.
