IN MEMORY OF LITLLE JOSEPH,!
Infant son of Mr. arid Mrs. R. H. I
Howard, near Kathleen. !
Written for the homk journal. (
“Suffer little children to come unto Me,”
Oar blessed Savior said,
\s His loving, tender hands were laid
Upon each youthful head.
Ax,d from the Lord the promise came
To all who bear no sin,
A borne in glory, love and joy
With saint and cherubim.
And Thou hast said that “such as these”
Thy face in Heaven shall see
In bright realms, and with Thee dwell
Throughout all eternity.
jesus to our earthly keeping
Once a jewel kindly gave,
But our joy was turned to weeping,
For we lost it in the grave.
(No, not lost.)
Mourning for our vanished treasure,
Then we heard our Savior say:
“Cease to sorrow; for My pleasure
I have borne thy gem away.
“Is thy spirit filled with anguish?
Have thine eyes with tears grown dim?
Cease, oh,grieved ones, thus to languish;
Cease, for I had need of him.
“Purer than the dews of morning,
Brighter than the stars of nighty
See the gem My crown adorning,
In a world of Heavenly light.
“There, in loveliness unfading,
Shines the jewel lost by thee;
Not a stain of sorrow fading;
Beauty purified by Me.
“Let thy faith and loye be stronger,
Though the tide of grief overwhelm;
Thou must wait a little longer
Ere I gile thee ba k thy gem.
“Where the flowers of Eden blossom,
Where no tears of grief are known,
I will place it in thy bosom;
Thou slialt wear it near My thrown.”
Then let your souls forbear theirweepiDg,
Lay the weight of sorrow down,
Leave your gem in Jesus’keeping;
Lend it to adorn His crown. /
Meekly, I pray you, journeylfchither,
Where loved Joseph has gone before;
Christ will whisper, ‘‘Come up- thither;
I will never part thee more.” t
His Great Uncle.
In Fond Remembrance.
For eighteen months God entrust
ed to the care of Mr. and Mrs. R. H.
Howard little Joseph Redding, born
November 25th, 1899, and died June
16th, 1901, a precious treasure, who
grew to be a perfect little sunbeam
in our home. Truly he was one of
God’s little flowers, allowed to re
main only for a season, when pluck
ed from earth to live forever in the
beautiful garden of Heaven.
On June 16th, 1901, after an ill
ness of nine days, and after all had
been dene for his relief that loving
hands could do, and while those who
loved him still watched with anx
ious, bleeding hearts by bis bed, the
messenger of eternal life came and
bore the sweet, pure little spirit
back to the God who gave it, just as
the noon-time hour was being pass
ed on an idea,l Sabbath day.
We cannot know why God thus
deals with His children, but we do
know He can make no mistake; then
let us humbly bow to the dispensa
tions of His providence and in our
hearts say: Thy will be done.
One Who Loved Him.

Cuba’s Agricultural Resources.
The island of Cuba is a gigantic
farm of 28,000,000 acres of mar
velously fertile soil. Thirteen
million acres remain as virgin
forest. Her present population is
a little above one and a half mil
lions.
Were Cuba as densely populat
ed as Massachusetts, her census
would show 11,000,000 inhabi
tants, An equal density with
that of England would give her
upward of 22,000,000. Her abilU
ty to support a population per
square mile equivalent to that of
England,' so large a percentage of
which is dependent upon manu
facturing interests, is somewhat
doughtful, from the fact that
Cuba presents little or no possi
bility of ever becoming a manu
facturing center. In a measure,
the comparison with Massachu
setts is also faulty, for the same
reason. Yet, in the latter case,
the vastly greater fertility of Cu
ban soil would offset the manu
facturing feature, and there is lit
tle doubt that Cuba, along the
line of her particular agricultural
advantages, can provide a com
fortable and reasonably profit
able living for a. population of
10,000,000 of moderately indus
trious citizens.—From “Cuba’s
Industrious possibilities,” by Al
bert G. Robinson, in the Ameri
can Monthly Review of Reviews
for August.
When Mr. Carnegie’s parents
left Scotland for this country
they had not money enough to
pay the fares, and Mrs. CarnegifU
borrowed $2 from a friend in Dun-
fermiline. The debt was lost
sight of and never paid. The
other day, upon the matter com
ing to the attention of Mr. Car
negie, he looked up the descen
dants of his mother's friend, of
whom he found two, both in poor
circumstances. Upon these two
he settled incomes that will make
them independant for life The
$2 had, after all, been drawing
big interest during the time it
was unpaid.—Ex.

The editor and his wife, says an
exchange, disagree with each other
very materially. She sets things
to rights and he writes things to
set- She reads what others write,
and he writes what others read.
She keeps the devil out of the
house as much as possible; while
he detains him and couldn’t go to
press without him. She knows
more things than he writes, and
he writes more things .than she
knows.
Don’t be satisfied with tempo
rary relief from indigestion. Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure permanently
and completely removes the com
plaint. It relieves permanently
because it allows the tired stom
ach perfect rest. Dieting won’t
rest the stomach. Nature receiv
es supplies from the food we eat.
The sensible way to help the
stomach is to use Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure, which digests what you
eat and can’t help but do you
good.

—Down in Thomas county an
experiment is being made by us
ing pine straw upon the public
-roads, and it is said to work like
a charm, especialy on sandy
roads. If it works charmingly in
Thomas, it should also work well
in Dooly, where there is an abun
dance of pine straw. But a step
in this direction will not be taken
as'long as the present system of
road working prevails.—Cordele
Sentinel.

A German professor recently
gave a lecture on “Hypnotism”
to a scientific audience in Ask-

The Boys Wanted.
Montreal Witness. j
“I want a young man to go into j
my office,” said a busy man of af- j
fairs to the head of a business i
high school not long ago, /‘audj
my requirements are very simple. I
I want an earnest, industrious}
boy, who can spell, write a good!
hand, possess at least a fair
knowledge, and who can carry out
intelligently the directions that
are given to him.”
“Your requirements are too
hard to meet,” replied the teach
er. “Plenty of boys are looking
for positions, but few of them like
the conditions you impose. They
■do not think it worth while to
learn to .spell; we do everything
to persuade them of the import
ance of the accomplishment, but
the boys hear of great and suc
cessful men who cannot spell, and
many of them are led to think
they may get along in the world
without that accomplishment.
Others do not relish the persistent
work of acquiring a good hand
writing, or of learning to run the
typewriter skillfully, which is now
so necessary in many lines of
work. They want easier roads to
success.
It is to be hoped that this teach
er fakes an unnecessarily gloomy
view of the boys of the present
generation. He doubtless does. It
is the testimony, however, of all
employers that only a small part
of the young men seeking posi
tions compehend the real serious
ness of life’s competition, and the
necessity of preparation m these
seeming trifles which count to
ward perfection.
