While my little boy at play
Beguiles my thoughts from hem and seam
AS he frolics the livelong day;
But time and again he comes to me
With a sorrowful tale to tell.
Ana mother must look at the scratch or
bump,
Then kiss it and make it well.
So 1 kiss his head. and his knee, and his
arm,
And the dear little grimy hand:
And who can fathom the magic charm
And who can understand?
For l even kiss when he bites his tongue
And love works its mystic SPELL
a bump,
But mother can kiss it well.
It's foolish whim, do you say? All, yesi
But the foolish things of earth
Have taught the wise, since a little Child
In Bethlehem had His birth
And we know that many an older heart
We know, but we do not tell
Will never be free from its bitter smart
Till kisses have made it well.

eral must be procured.

ENDS WITH OLD-TIME HYMNS
AND A GENERAL OLD-TIME
HANDSHAKING.

meeting at midnight last night with a
grand walk-around Of tenters, but the
formal closing took place this morn
ing at o'clock After the promenade
the assemblage serenaded the various
ministers, and superintendent Vande-
grift made an address.

time handshaking.
Already there is talk OF improve
ments to be made before camp next
year. The association has been making
strenuous efforts to remove all finan-
cial burdens. and It is believed this
has been done this year. II the main
tabernacle or auditorium is not en-.
larged. the trustees at least will pro-
vide about fifty new benches. 1t was
proposed to enlarge the tabernacle this
year, but a lack OF available funds pre-
vented. and il the way can be found
clear it will be done before next camp
There also has been talk of providing
light fence about the circle, with
gates. to be closed during services
thus preventing promenading, which
seemed to annoy Rev. DR.. McBerney
on Sunday afternoon. The association
