A Tribute to Ella Dillon.

There lisa reaper whose name is Death
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain with breath
And the flowers that come between.
Last Wednesday morning as the kind
ly sun was spreading his glorious beams
over the earth, one home in our midst
was overshadowed with SORROW. The
sunshine of that home was passing be-
yond our horizon and rising in a fairer
world. So bright and calm had been
her existence that after it was ended
one could behold its bright reflection on
the characters OF her loved ones.
Ella Dillon spent but a few years
with us, but those years were rife with
happiness and usefulness.
Her home was brighter on account Of
her presence and her music. Her faith
er and mother felt their cares grow
lighter under the soothing influence OF
her smile and voice. Her brothers were
happier because she was part Of their
happiness.
Her many friends we're impressed by
her cheerfulness, her devotion TO duty
and the purity of her life.
Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath
The reaper came that day,
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took that flower away.
About five months ago Ella became a
prey to disease. The washing frame,
the hectic flush and abating strength
were evidences Of the pain from which
she was seldom again free.
Her patience in suffering, her loving
consideration Of those who attended her.
her appreciation Of any kindness, and
her resignation in death were striking
qualities OF her noble character and I'M
selfishness.
While her place in the home is vacant
and her friends are sad without her,
there is Joy in the memory OF her beauti-
full life, there is solace in the thought
that she is released from pain.
There her capacity for usefulness and
happiness are increased. For "God
shall be with them and shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes and there shall
be no more death neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more
pain" "And there shall be no nigh
there; and they need no candle, neither
light OF the sun. FOR the Lord God
giveth light; and they shall reign for
ever and ever" A FRIEND.

as they might be" was read by Mr.. Chas.
Casperke and brought forth expressions
from several as to how we may improve
the existing condition. Mrs. WIN. Cain
read we'll prepared paper on Practical
Primary Methods" and should her ad-
vice be followed no doubt many precious
truths would be stored in youthful
minds. Mr.. Hugh Hardawsy gave US
some fiue results Of Sunday-school work
in the community II the Sunday-school
lived up to its highest privilege, but ask
ed sis the Sunday-school doing this ?"
The State Secretary gave US an idea OF
some OF the advanced methods of Sun
day-school work and especially empha-
sized the Home Class Department and
the Normal Department. After report
from the Secretary, the committees on
nominations and resolutions reported
The names Of the old officers were voted
