In loving remembrance of my dear friend, Mips Ellen Tatum, who has left us to he forever with the Lord sho lov ed so well and served so faithfully. Sho was one of the old school, educat ed, cultured, refined and Bweet spirited. She was so filled with the spirit of love there was room left for nothing more. She was a great sufferer, hut support ed by His will she had power to bear all. As far as in her power she helped all who were in need, wept with those who wept, rejoiced with those who rejoiced and especially did she love little child ren. Her tenderness to the old and feeble was beautiful to see und how precious is the memory of her kindness to :ny dear old father. She would for get her own ailments and try to help him. We sorely miss her, but know where to find her when the summons comes to us, for sho mtt her “Pilot face to face to when she crossed the Bar.” C.

Life the lilv that braves the tempest and "the Alpine flower that leans its cheek on the bosom of etornal snow,” it is ex erted amid the wildest storms of life and breathes a softening spell in our bosom even when a heartless world is freezing up the fountaing of sympathy and love. It holds the empire of the heart and rules the life. Our habits, too; are formed under the moulding power of home. The “tender twig” is there bent, the spirit shaped, principles implanted, and the whole character is formed until it becomes a habet. The grav haired father who walks in the second infancy, feels the tiaces of his childhood home in his spirit, desires and habits. The most illustrious state- men and eloquent ministers owe their greatness to the fostering influence of home. Napoleon knew and felt this when he said, “What France wants is good mothers, and you may be sure then that France will have good sons.” ooo A beautiful person is thcdatural from of a beautiful soul. ooo In seeking the good of othors, we find l our own.
