In Memory ofonr Mother.

Ann +. Borton departed this life Tenth
Mo, 10Th, 1887, in the list year of her age.
Patiently and uncomplainingl she bore the
trials and disappolntments which beset her
from early in life to its close. Often she
would say in seasons of encouragement,
II live in hope She was a consistent
member Of the Society of Friends and en-
joyed attending their meetings. Never an
unkind word did she utter against any one,
but rejoiced with them that rejoice and
wept with them that weep. At last, weary
and worn by the too bnrdensoine cares and
anxieties of life, she one day expressed the
wish that she was nearer Home Soon
afterward We noticed a marked change.
Tearfully We watched her rapid decline,
and did the best we knew to ease her suf-
lerings, until finally her soul quietly
winged its flight 10 the Better Land. where
in peaceful rest she shares the unveiled
gIories of a Home in Heaven, whose maker
and builder is God.
To-day in our home is a vacant chair,
Sometime there win be another;
But gone before from this world Of care
To one above and n crown to wear
Has gone our dear, Kind mother
To-day ia our home we miss face,
As We have never missed another:
We may go and search in every place
Find many a comely, friendly face
But never the face OF mother
To-day in our home voice Is stfled.
Here, like it there is no other
II never our love or feelings chilled.
But sweet was the JOY our hearts il flied
That loving voice Of mother
To-day In cur home we miss a smile
From one that never another
Can sweeter give-as free freIn grille
such pleasant, cheerful. grateful smile,
As thesunny smile OF mother.
We see no more those lst autifnl hands,
Now folded in death together;
Bat FAR away on golden strands
BE yond the river bright angel bands
Clasp now the hands OF onr mother.
We weep for the loved one gone before,
Who has gone from our side forever;
We think Of the trials and troubles she bore
We think OF her now ON the shining shore,
In our home without mother.
Ana when with US all, life's work + done.
Aud we leave this world for another:
As the Master calls US one By one,
And all are beyond the setting sun.
May we be nj Home with mother

In looking over the Miscellaneous Re-
ligious Notices" in the Ledger Of 18th inst.
our attention was drawn to the announce
ment Of lecture to be delivered by Mr..
5. Il. Weston at Natatorium Hall on Broad
street below Walnut, on "I1he Society of
Friends and the Ethical Movement"
Being altogether ignorant of what the
Ethical movement meant, other than
Webster's definition of the word ethical
the subject as a whole seemed to possess
much interest for MS, and we resolved to
be in attendance at II o'clock Sabbath
morning.
The lecturer began by speaking very APP
provingly Of the aims aad works of the
early Friends, mentioning the names of
Fox, Barclay and others, and of the won
derful influence their teachings had had
upon the ethical or moral world, teaching
large numbers of people to lead purer,
simpler, moral lives, &C., &c. We found
as he proceeded in his discouse that the
chief aim of this ethical movement is for
every one to look to the light within them
selves alone, following its headings into
purer paths OF morality. But as we fol
lowed on ia the lessons this society would
teach, we We're much troubled to discover
That the idea of morality seemed to be as
far as its doctrines would lead us, the rest
being left with each individual, whether
they wished to accept anything higher
than the teachings within ones self.
Jesus was spoken of simply s a man, and
as possessing no more Of Divine power
than Fox or :. Barclay. The members of
this society are at liberty to believe in the
power Of prayer or not, as they choose. but
the lecturer thought that if the members
were questioned as to their belief upon tie
subject the larger part Of them would not
be believers in this power In short. they
seem to ignore to an alarming extent the
existence of Heavenly powers. and look so
much to the power within themselves,
vet they profess to be nearer like unto the
Friends than to any other people. Their
aims (not creed or doetrine-they entertain
none,) as far as they GO, seem good, bat
it seems to those of us who have been born
and bred in the Society of Friends and
