Whereas, the great and
supreme ruler of the universe
has in his infinite wisdom
removed from among us one
of our worthy and esteemed
fellow-laborers David A.

and intimate rela. lion held
with him in the faithful
discharge of his duties in
this society makes 1t emil

record our appreciation OF
him.
Therefore be it resolved,
That the wisdom and abb lity
which he has exercised in
the aid of our organization
ov service and counsel will
be held in grateful remem-
berance.
Resolved, That the sud
den removal Of such a life
from among our midst leaves
a vacancy and a shadow that
will be deeply realized by all
the members and friends Of
this organization and will
prove a serionS loss to the
community and the public.
Resolved, That with deep
sympathy with the bereaved
relatives of the deceased We
express our hope that even

be overruled for good by him

Some of our exchanges are
making themselves merry

duel. Considering what a
terrible tragedy it was, and
the untold misery entailed
upon two desolated homes,
the old Spanish proverb;

One reason why so many
girls and boys are uninter-
esting is because they try to
be like somebody else, some
acquaintance whom they look
upon as a beau ideal, rather
than to remain simply them,
selves. In nature we never
see an oak tree posing as a
willow, or a horse as a COW,
or a lily as a rose, or a dog
as a cat. Be natural, and
you will possess the charm
of individuality; try to pose
as something different from
what nature intended you tC
be, and you will sink to the
level of the commonplace. -
Exchange.
