My son has granted me space in his
paper to let those who have requested
me to write hear from me. l find it
more than l can accomplish to write
each one separate letter. We (sOn
Ed. and y arrived in Dodge City, Kan.
May 10Th, 1898, and found my relatives
here able to transact business. A trial
was at that time in session against VIC.
Shinn, for exposing mans cruel con-
duct to his daughter-in.l law who had a
helpless infant in her arms. L suppose
faithful dog would have been better
protector to that mother than the SON of
that brute of man was, for dogs do not
suffer their mistresses to be beaten and
insulted, as a general thing. But twelve

after long nights struggle, and, l was
informed, until eight O'Clock next day,
brought in a verdict of not guilty. To
God be all the glory! So little was the
spirit of fight in my son, w. g., (who

pleteiy did our Blessed Lord rid our
minds of all care aud anxiety, knowing
so well that our God had promised to
fight all our battles for us. The writer
of this has, for more than fifty years, had
this great High King for her leader and
her counselor. and never once has He
failed to do all, yea, more than all He
has promised to DO for those who love
and serve Him with their whole heart
This does not mean to serve Him in great
matters OF once in a while, but cOntinu-
ally, day and night. Some say ''Oh, this
is so hard to do" l know it would be
hard if sin dweIt in the heart, and one is
trying to serve God and Mammon; but
Christ has made the atOnement so per-
feet that, if we comply with His require
ments, and apply the shed blood to our
souls, and be willing to give up all for
the cause He died to establish, and &C

promised to send into the woodland l
know He did send that same Comforter,
for it now dwells in my heart-this life,
continually serving God, is the easiest
and happiest and most convenient of all
others. In fact, it is the only way that
we can live free of cares and trials. He

The first day got the little one to sleep
very easily. Her bright, long curls were
thrown back on the pillow and she sung
to sleep, and a long. refreshing nap was
enjoyed, both by herself and her attend
ant. But the second day. her hair was
rolled up in lunches around her head
and in vain did the little darling search an
easy resting spot for her head. She was
placed in the same position as before and
sung to as she requested: but in vain did
she try to sleep. She would turn heI
head in various ways; but no sleep did
she obtain that day for all could do fol

death; but the gift of God. eternal life :
which is all that is worth living for in
