ing place, hundred miles from Chicago
by steamer. We spent the first weeks of
our married life with those relatives at
Miskawakee, thirty-three years ago, and
to visit them again would recall long,
long ago, happy joyous days before the
pages OF Life had been blurred by tears
and when the leaves Of the volume we're
turned without a heart ache or sigh.
But to-day as / recall the roses, the
thorns, the tears the laughter, the clouds
the sunshine, know that in the great
"Hall OF Life" and in the orchestra led
by time," gladness and sadness are about
equally balanced and have not word
of complaint.
Poor Sam Jonesl know his left ear burns
ever since he left the city Of Irvington.
But insist that his right ear tiugle for
awhile for be assured here's one individ-

entirely original outlandish ssyings a
thought. l forgot them Immediately for
his magnificent eulogies on character, his
whitening, singing, blighting sarcasm in
dealing with Satan's auxilaries. All
honor to our pastor, Bro. Hesson for
selecting such an individual to draw
crowd to lift the church debt Bro
Overton. Bro. Cundiff, Bro. Walton, all
purely consecrsted Christians sanctioned
Just what did in his discourse. Some
of the most refined, most highly intelli-
gent and most cultured men and women
from the walks OF life have been power
fully converted under him-three young
men from my own town. He is a poweri
He is wonder He performs miracles
as it were. Long may he hive to fight
sin. l only wish every Christian in all the
world were as fearless. He has egress to
the very finest, best and most aristocratic
homes in all this broad land. Mrs. r.
NJ. Jolly, of Irvington, and Mrs DIR.
Pussy, of this place, would have never
entertained him had he been guilty of
insulting lady.
