Aintab, Asia Minor, April Is, 1898.
To the Editor:
our experience at Kills was comical
Brother Lund had Il camera along and
as the crowd here was mixed indeed
made up of men. women and children,
camels, horses and donkeys, and not
forgetting the everlasting dog OF Tur-
key. the scene seemed perfect for the
occasion and we got the lieutenant to
go down on the market, which was
just under our window to quiet the
crowd. He succeeded, and after a
successful attempt 10 take their pic
lures had been made, we were aston>
ished to find, in few minutes, n
large crowd at our door wishing to
see the pictures. We had to explain
to them that this was out of the ques-
tlon, as 1t took time to develop them.
Later on we found one man shivering
with fear because he was told his pics
ture had been taken and would be sent
to America and would probably be sold
for money. The poor fellow was found
by your correspondent in some
uncertainty as to whether or not he
would be a prisoner or what would
become OF him. He was comforted

jured: hence to save the situation and
be sure that no one would hear OF his
misfortunes and thus refuse to buy
his load at the usual prices, he moved
to another place.
At Kills the weather was very cold
and during the night a heavy frost
proved quite injurious. In the low
places great many fine olive trees
were winter killed. olives and grapes
and figs seem to flourish here, and in
the immediate nelghborhood of this
town a great denl OF fine fruit Is
grown. The road from Killes to

Reports from the high mountains of
Asia Minor stated that many had
frozen to death, and that even babies
in many places had died with cold in
the cradles. This seems awful Of
course, but 1t Is possible, as the peo-
pie have no stoves. Their houses are
often poor and the cold walls and damp

Lo! II is our physician.

Behold! He says come dwell with me,
And he bids all pain depart.
And though we sadly miss her here,
We of her safety have no fear
God took her home to live with him,
Who by his blood doth cleanse from sin.
We miss her happy cheering word.
He sweet footsteps no more are heard,
The ever ready, willing hand,
Has struck the harp in better land.

Weary with months of rackng pain,
Farewell ill in that happy place,
We shall behold thy dear face again.

In MenOriam,

DIED-July 25, 1893, Mt the home OF his
parents, Joseph Elmer, youngest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Columbus Kaufman, in the
twelfth year of his age.
1t is with painful regret that We are called
upon to record the death of this young dis
ciplc Of Christ. Elmer was Of such an ami
able and kindly disposition, as to cndear him
to all who knew him.
His amiablitv, the best natural quality in
any life, prepared him for the awful ordeal
through which he was to pass, for when the
dreaded disease Of pertonitis laid hold on
his apparently strong and healthy body, he
bore the intense pain and suffering with the
greatest christian fortiludc and patience for
almost two weeks.
The skillful medical attention which he
received at the hands Of Or. Kefauver, the
family physician, held out the hope through
all those weary days OF suffering. that he
would recover, but we hoped against hope,
even when other medical skill was brought
to bear upon the case, all was without avail.
God had wiser purpose in view. He
seemed to say, will do the best for him, I
will take him out of this world Of sin, and
give him place with me in the mansions
which have prepared for them that love
me. Accordingly few days after he had
fallen sick, Elmer expressed the desire to be
confirmed, which was Immediately done, and
what a calm, solemn scene that was, when
. nd I,,tiE n nj; w
himself 10 God, and all the family gathered
around his bedside to receive the Holy Com
munlon with HIM for the first and last time
on earth May they all so live MS to be able
to cat 1t anew with him again in the king.

A sweet message they bring me.
Hark! hear them swectly sing,
Come and live with Christ your King,
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
The warm, true heart is still,
And on thy young and innocent brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We have kissed thy lovely brow,
And in our aching hearts We know
We have no darling now.
