Julian was a sweet, fair lad, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burnett, of near Red Oak, and he was the darling and comfort and hope of his fond parents’ hearts. Even though at the ten der f.ge of two years, those who watched the little rose-bud as it began to open and bloom into conciousness, could tell that he was a child of unusual promise, with a bright, precious mind and a sweet, sunny, winsome dispo sition, bidding lair to flower into youth and mandood, that under the c..re and-training of a Christ ian home woulu h ye meant much in usefulness for uod and hu manity. No better comparison could be made than to say that Julian was a rosebud of surpassing and deli cate beauty; but God saw that it was ’oo fair for this sad world of sin and sorrows, so He sent His angels down to pluck this tender, fair creation of His own hands and transplant it to heaven that ittflight bloom and flower and fruit in an atmosphere that. forever free from care and trouble, from sin and sorrow. It would be so sweet to have little Julian with us, but we cheerfully submit to our Fathers will, w). o> is too good to do wrong and too Thirtieth Anniversary.

In the afternoon tennis con tests were engaged in, after which the guests departed, each thinking in their hearts that this was the end of a perfect day.
