Backward through the years were
looking
Backward through the vanished years
Two hearts bound in loves sweet
bondage
Share each others JOY and tears
Heart and hand in one united
Walking ever in the light
Called to high and holy service
Grded by the Spirits might,
And the Master leads you onward
Out into his ripened fields
Whence you'll come anon rejoicing
Bringing sheaves his harvest yields.
And your home he fills with blessing
Children crown your mutual love;
They are lent you for season
Yours to train for joy above.
And we come with JOY to greet you
Come with hearts. both warm and true
Bringing tokens of our friendship
OF our lasting love for you.
May the year on which you enter
Enter with this festive hour
Bring rich tokens of Gods favor
Show the hidings of his power.
And when earthly tolls are finished
When the last glad sheaf you bring
May we then clasp hands in glory
In the presence of our King.

OUR MANUFACTURER IN EUROPE.
what the Furniture Men Find They Can
Do and Are Doing-The Reasons for 1t.

The American Furniture Manufac-
turers' Exposition sent delegation
over to England several months ago to
, discover what the chance was for in
Producing American goods on the other
side. The trip was tiippantly regarded
by some members of the association as
a junketing tour for the sole enjoyment
of the visiting committee: but we re-
gard it as quite the most important
work yet done by any body of American
furniture manufacturers vastly more
beneficial than any entertainment fund
for the feeding and dining of the
ubiquitous buyer, who isn't at all
affected by that sort of treatment.
The committee went in perfunctory
spirit and in no way enthusiastic, but
guided by business considerati ons.
When they returned they told a great
deal that is interesting.
They claim that we can send furni-
ture to England and meet them in
matters of style. quality and price.
and that the old bugaboo of cheap
English labor needn't worry us little
bit.
They deny that the English work for
such little money. They say that the
finisher gets 81 day here and 81. 30
In England; that the wood carver gets
% per cent. more wages than we give, |
simply because he is Indispensable in I
an English workshop. They saw every
dealer of any consequence in the most |
prominent English cities, and they all |
admitted that our furniture was equal |
in style, equal in finish and in many |
cases one half the price of the English |
article. They saw American chairs
in London, boxed and marked for Ger
many, at which point they would be
offered for sale. after three landings,
