IngersoII's Tribute to Women.

1T takes a hundred men to make
an encampment. but one woman
San make a home. | not only adj
mire women as the most beautiful
object ever created, but the best
good night toddy
II reverence her as the redeem
ing glory of humanity, tie sanctu-
ary of all perfect qualities of heart
and head 1t is not right to lay
the sins of men at the feet of
women. 1t is because women is
so much better than man that her
faults are considered greater.
"The one thing in the world
which is constant, the only peak
which arises above all clouds, the
only window in which the light
forever burns, the one star which
darkness cannot quench, is woman's
love. 1t rises to the greatest
height; it sinks to the lowest depth,
it forgives the most injuries; it is
perennial of life and is found in
every cline. Neither GOODNESS or
neglect can extinguish it. A
woman's love is perfume of the
heart. This is the real love that
has wrought all miracles of art;
that gives us music all the way
from the cradle to the grand clos
ing symphony that bears the soul
away on wings of fire. A love
that is greater than power, sweeter
than power, sweeter than life, and
stronger than DEATH"

TO record the death of our young frie nd
and parishiOner, Frank S. Fairman, D,
which occurred on the 11th of November,
after brief Illness. Frank was identi-
fl d with st Pau Is church O. the years
OF his too short life. For quite q while
| he served as librarian to the lder Sunday
school and more recently rendered the
same service to the infant class. Just
previous to his removal to Paducah, Ky.,
| last August, he wrote letter to Mrs
Benton, saying that one of the sad things
conn ected with his going away was the
| leaving Of his work in her school. His
faithful labors were deeply appreciated.
AS soon as~he was settled in his new
home he ffered bis services to the Church
there, and was member OF the che ir at
the time he was taken i'll, and from let
ter received by his parents from the rec
tor Of Paducah, the Rev Mr. Reed, he had
begun to make friends there. In fact
Frank was one Of those chars cters that
inspired esteem and affection wherever he
went; he combined in the most rare de-
gree wonderfully sweet disposition with
manly straightfC rwardness. In all bis
relations in life he carried himself with
simplicity and kindliness. AS a son, as
brother, as friend, as a pupil, as
ps rishioner he was ways the same ever
true to the high standard of a pure, guile
less soul. His Treser ce was always a
welcome one to his friends. The loss
sustained by his loved ones at home has
gone Is beyond the limits of that home,
it Ia shared by | who knew him well
for to know him thus was to be irresisti-
bly, drawn to him and to love him. The
greatest consolation to his friends, next
to the assurance Of happy reunion in
CT rist's Kingdom above, must be the
memory Of a character adorned with
every CT rlstisn grace. Twenty.four
years is a short span, bat it is long as
measured by life 30 sweet, go clean,
