1t is our painful duty to record the de-
cease OF Mrs. Luthera Eaton. She was
born in the year 1909, and married in 1881,
and was the mother OF eleven children,
Ave of whom are left to mourn their loss.
Still they think, and console themselves
with the thought, that their loss is her
gain. She was long a member OF the u nj
versalst church and was an ardent be
lever in the Fatherhood of God and was
a practical exponent of "Do unto Others
as We would that others should do unto
YOU" She was wise and devoted moth
er, often sacrificing herself for the good
OF her children. She had childlike trust
in the divins presence and her inner life
was swayed by the consciousness OF the su.
preme goodness OF God. In her exempla-
ry life we had the proof of the truth that
righteousness is crowned with length of
days" for she lived to the ripe age OF so
years. She then quietly YIELDED up the
body and took up the sceptre of the high
err life.

tn most interesting manner Among
those present were Mr.. A. L. ErIanger,

The discussion was a lively one, the mum.
ber of farces, comedies, and comic operas

foundation for the subject. Mr.. Lederer
contended that the spring of the year was
always productive of lighter ENTERTAINMENT,
lighter clothes, lighter food, and light

weary winter-w oTked brain demanded
a change, and ii was this demand that the
theaters aimed to satisfy. Mr. Erlanger
