We stand to-day beneath the shadow of a sorrow so sacred that even the tender words of sympathy sound harsh and meaningless when spoken in its presence. The simple sentence "born and died” could truly compass the his tory of many—the sunrise and sunset of uneventful, unimportant lives. Not so with her whose memory we cherish. Her life was not only like the summer, aglow with promise, but like the au tumn, rich with golden sheaves. True to the trusts of home, open-handed to wards the unfortunate, visiting the homes of the afflicted, truly shall “many rise up and call her blessed.” "The sweetest lives are those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small. Are close-knit strands of unbroken thread Where love ennobles all: The world may sound no trumpet, ring no bells The Book of Life the shining record tells.” Whereas, it has been ordained in the wisdom of God that our sister, Mrs. C. C. Parrott, should he taken from the walks of life and her spirit called to ! up . the eternal companionship of its Au thor. Therefore, be it resolved— 1. That the Foreign Missionary Soci ety of our church has suffered the loss of a loyal and generous member.

But. then the native inter preter, plodding along behind, came up, saying: 'Pardon me, sir. Don’t you mean troglodytes?’ “The Englishman, amazed, asked where he had ever heard such a word, and ‘George’ replied placidly, 'I was reading a dictionary one day and saw it.’ "I cannot imagine myself reading a German or Kalian dictionary for pleas ure and storing in my mind for fu ture use co'.ivursa!mindly a specially unusual scientific term.
