Thanksgiving night, 1 was asked, do
you not think Mabel Hardin and Lena
hewitt have peculiarly sweet voices?"
l do not think it, l know it. Msble's
alto is something wonderful, not harsh
tone, but clear and sweet as bird,
while Lenas voice is a range higher and
as sweet. Mabel sings soprano as well
Both girls are gifted.
If you feel disconnected, if you are
inclined TO murmer, go around on River

Mr.. Chss Dudley Warren delivers an
Advent sermon in the Christmas num-
Der OF Harper's Magazine and the begin
ming and ending OF it is that the world is
better than it was. The great preacher
is no doubt right, but human nature is
much the same in all ages, the same
elemental passions and temptations
still assail men Prejudice and selfish
ness still blind men but still the guidance
OF the Holy Spirit is not in vain
One can do so much and yet so little
towards uplifting the struggling and dis
pairing OF this world. We need not
make companions of all, but to be brave,
gentle aud sympathetic towards one who
has been unfortunate, what load we
can lift. A word OF encouragement,
an enterest manifested what a witness
for charity and kindness Sister Pate
was witness and showed that the grace
of God possessed mind and heart. She
re responded with a sweet spirit to every
touch, kind or unkind. Her influence
will long be felt and can never be for
gotten.
