make that their home. Mr.. Kerr
came among us about eighteen
months agOsas a stranger, but by
his upright christian department
he soon won our respect, our friend
ship; and not only was he IN
willing to stop there, nor did he
stop until he had won the love of
one of Marshall's fair daughters.
Now he has gone west with his af-
fectionate bride perhaps never to
return. May their lives be crown
ed with success and happiness and
after a we'll spent life in the Mas
ter's cause may they go home to re-
ceive the crown that will be pre-
pared for them where they may
dwell with bright angels throughout
all eternity.
