MORRIS CANFIELD.

Seldom does the death of child fill 8 community with grief ss has that of Morris Garfield. Before Him who ''knoweth the end from the beginning" we bow with huehed voices. Thursday, October 12, surrounded by beautiful flowers and loving hearts, he was laid to rest, the sunlight falling ke benedic- tiOn over all. An only child, few lives are shielded by the love of pRrents, grandparents and relatives as was that of Morris. Love too powerless, skill svails not in the presence of that que t before whom all others sink into insig- nifcance. Endeared to his schoolmates, duubly so to his teacher, sweet memorie, will ever hC Id him fast. His greetir R awaits us ''just beyond" "We shall know each other over there." May the shadow that has fallen upon 80 many hearts prove but the tender gloom of s Fathers sheltering hand. From Voice bending low, above whose everla stiuR arms are round about and underneath us comes the benediction of peace. "As one whom his mother comfor 5eth so will comfort you."-[S. K.

 MT Editor: For rea l, h. If of a century l have expeIiL enfally known what it as to be farmer, but l wasn't aware that was an uIator, and above all poet. But am very much obliged to my good brother for such an honoea- Die title, for 1t is something not often found in farmers to be both orators and poets. In reading over my brothers comments I am in about-~the same condition that the good old lady was when she left her dictionary at home and took her Bible to church. The minister used so much higtflown language that she couldn't understand it, so the next Sabbath she took he I dictionary and left her Bible. But I haven't any time to consult the dictionary, so 1 am going to cling to the old family Bible and the little red schoolhouse and try to save the mortgage-bound farmer. There ft re will say to my good brother what the Lord Jesus Christ said to the great enemy of our souls, 'sGet thee behind me Satan." And in conclusion I sincerely hope his prayer will be answered, for 1 want to walk the streets of the thew Jerusalem" and hope the white winged angel of peace l escort nay immortal SO0t M IhC ObCAbaA O1 pt Ipcbudl joy and felicity.
