To the Editor Of the Rich. Dispatch !.
DEAR SIa.-The following beautiful
poem, written by G. X. Hervey, am
informed was first published about the
year 1920 in the Penny Magazine. 1t
is now reproduced from memory, as
recited by the late Littleton w. Taze-
well. b. L. A.
In MemOriGm.
know thou art gone to the home of the blest
Then why should nay soul be 50 sad
I know thoU art gone where the weary ones rest.
And the mourner looks up and is glad
Where love hath put of in the land Of its birtl
The stain il had gathered in this.
And Hope, the sweet singer that saddened the
earth.
Lies asleep on the bosom Of bliss.
know ihou art gone where thy forehead is starrd
with the beauty that dwell in thy soul,
where the light of thy loneliness cannot be mar
Nor thy heart be turned back from its goal,
| know thou hast drunk OF the Lethe that flows
Through land where they do not forget,
That sheds over memory Oirly repose,
And takes from it only regret.
In thy far-away dwelling, wherever it be,
believe chou hast visions of mine,
And the love that mad al things music to me,
have not yet learned TO resign.
never look up with vow to the sky
Bur light like thy beauty is there;
And hear "A low murmur like thine in reply
When pour out ny piriI ia prayer.
These eyes must be dark that long have been dim
Ere again they may gaze upon thine,
But my heart hath revealings Of thee and thy home
In many a token and sign.
In the hash of the n ght, when abroad on the
or alone on the desOlate hill,
have ever pr sence hat whispers Of thee,
And my spirIt lies down and is still
and though like mourner that sits by tomb,
am rapid in a mantle Of care,
Y et the grief of my bosOm-oh, call 1t not gloom
Is not the black grief OF despair
By sorrow revealed, ss the stars are by night,
FIR of 4 bright vision appears:
And hope like the rainbow, being OF light,
Is born, like the rainbow, In tears.

The Bulls Crap Convention,
composed of the colored Republic
cans of the 1st District, was not
the triumph for Gillcnwaters which
his friends had predicted. The
Convention it seems was organized
II the interest of Butler, and the
GillenwatcrS men withdrew and
orglnizeC All opposition one Of their
own The Gillenwaters faction say
they had the numbers, but the
Butler men deny the proposition.
LIN this case it seems that the man
who holds on to the bench could
not get the chair, and thus it will
DE next fall. The man who holds
llis iudgeship will fail to snatch the
seat in Congress. Butler has lots
OF aces in his sieve and on his fin
gers more wax than has Gillenwa-
ters on the seat of his brooches.

brim with choice flowers of art and
literature. John S. Davis opens the
number with a full-page picture,

spiritedly drawn pictures of scenes

deliciously cool view of the famous
Silver Spring; the second picture is a
handsome iull,page illustration of
the St. johns River, showing the
ruins Of the old lighthouse, a grove
of palm trees, ETC. the third picture
is wild and dreamy view of Flori-

emerald islands in the midst of a
desert of sands. Two other hand

Emphatic DisapprOyal Of Dane
ing-Church Conferences.

LOUISVILLE, May 4-But little of
general importance was done in the
conference o-day, except the presen-
tatiop of the address signed by all
the Bishops. This address is very
long and begins with congratulations
on the peace and prosperity of the
Church. On this point it says :
While the world is all astir with
advancing thought, great enterprises
ard momentous events, social, pOliti-
cal and eclcs astical, our preachers
abide steadfast in Wesleyan theOl-
ogy, and our people give TO truth a
reverent welcome, There is no
agitation as to the doctrine, or OF
discipline, to disturb the, quiet Of
our Zion. This state Of things is
largely due TO the broad liberty OF
our system. giving full range to
though and expression. and thus re-
moving provocation to dissent and
resistance by the consciousness OF
recognized freedom. A general ap-
pealS IS made Tor the spread OF
MISSIONARY Work,
domestic and foreign. As to the
increase of church buildings, the
address says: We are glad to rpeort
to you wonderful progress in
CHURCH BUILDING,
both as to number of houses, style of
architecture and accommodations for
comfort at all seasons. The consoli>
dation of feeble societies has enlarg-
ed congregations, secured a more
uniform administration Of ordinances,
given stability and permanent form
to Sunday-Schools, and made the ar
raus ement of circuit work more
convenient and affective, Discuss

leading functions of the Church, and
that she cannot abdlcate in favor OF
State without infdelity to her trust
and irreparable damage to the socie
ty. The relations of the children to
the Church are all intensified by the
antagonisms of modern science, and
Outcasting of all religious element
from all schools, system fostered
by State legislation. 1t is NOT ours
to dispute jurisdiction with Caesar;
but, fully persuaded that the salt of
religious truth can alone preserve
education from abuse and mischievous
results, we feel that the RESPONSE
bilities of the Church grow with the
progress Of society and the demands
of the age. In the SINE connection
the address continues: We antici-
pate in the near future a complete
system Of universities. colleges,
district school academies, sustained
by our people and manned by our
people and manned by our own
graduates, al Il o:ough!y equipped,
a rounded plan reaching from the
lowest to the highest. safeguards of a
Christian education to all the rising
generation committed to our charge
As to the tendency of worldIinesS in
the young. the address says the silence
of the discipline in terms is a plea
with some. Expunging the para
graph in which
DANCING
was specified as amorg things Cor
hidden, has been construed by 9th
ers into a relaxation of TIE law
equivalent TO license. We think
the rule is plain. and, we know the
last general conference expressed
itself strongly in condemnation of
this evil. Nevertheless the pleas
are made so that the Church is en-
feebled in her remonstrancc. and the
preacher parai;zed in his PASTORAL
government Both parties look to
you for relief We hope YOU will be
able to furnish it. You cannot make
a new law, but you can enforce an

On Church cofercnce the address

press advertises the locality-is the
centre Of ITS moral. political and
social influence, and does more, per
haps than any gency to attract the
organized industry of its near and

Springfield in Massachusetts. is per-
haps as good an ILLUSTRATION Of the
power of TIC press to central &c trade
and manufactures as the country
offers. We wonder whether TIE resi-
dents Of Tat city know how much
they owe to their papers for their
constantly increasing numbers and
growing prosperity. For enty-tive
years they have had a press whose
enterprise, industry, intelligence. and
influence are supposed TO have been
