TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
The insatiate archer, Death, respects neither age
nor condition, and spares neither rank nor sex
but, from aquiver well supplied and never exhaust
ed, he is continually hurting into our midst missiles
Of destruction, often striking where least expected
blasting human hopes and bGghting the cherished
auticipations of early youth and perfect manhood
causing grief and mourning, through the depart
ure of loved ones, and substituting sadness and
sorow for joy and rejoicing. ..-,c.. ..-.-
Our Sabbath School has not escaped this terrible
presence For more than twelve months we moved
on without experiencing the loss Of single youth
full member by death; but, at length, the blow
came; and, in way that we little thought of, one

institution, and which we beheld with 30 much
pride and affection. ....

visitation, we deem it appropriate to give express
sion to our feelings in the following preamble and
resolutions :. ....a.
