There is no merit in seeing the sun
light at MONDAY. We cannot doubt
the existence of light when it blazes in
our eyes. But when the gloom and
chill of night are about Us, it requires
faith to believe that there is just as
much light in the universe as ever, and
that God will bring us again into its
cheer. If We have faith, we shall have
hope. We can walk in the light in the
darkest hour, while seeing Hun who is
invisible. This is the cheer Of faith
and hope when sorrow is in our heart
and tears in our eyes

Personal lovelImess is not lOveliness

LONG HILL.
DEATH OF MRS J. W. SMITH.

Mrs J. W. Smith, mother of Mrs
 Charles ". Boylston, died at the rectory
 on Wednesday, January 9. Her illness
 was of long duration, and for the last three months of her life she had been
 great sufferer, So that the end came to her as a blessed release from hopeless pain and sickness, and found her more than willing to ssenter into rest.'' Mrs Smith was the wife of J. Wesley Smith and daughter of David Bates of South Glastonbury In this state, where her home had always been, until about 10 years ago she came to live with her daughter. As member of the family at the rectory she made large number of friends and acquaintances in this com munity, and before her death was very careful to express her recognition of, and gratitude for the many kindnesses and attentions she received from them. A short funeral service was held at the rec tory in Long Hill on Friday afternoon, Rev H. M. Sherman of St Paul's church, Bridgeport, officiating, when many of her friends in this vicinity were present, ard xpressed thei 'egard for her iu a number of beautiful floral tributes. On
