hance the value of its private property at

council contracted for the well to be

by the last quarterly conference Of Ehr-

week. This committee happened to meet
on the day before the town council de-
cided on location for the arteSian well. "

lected by the council on the 18th of June.
Now listen: "This committee knew
nothing of the well until the location had
been decided on, and then their only re-

RiuhteOus Grief.

Dedicated to sorrowing mothers.
Out from the Gates of the City of light,
An angel was sent to this lowly Earth,
And ere he winged his Heavenly flight,
Carried with him one of immortal birth.
He is mine, the heart-broken mother
screams,
Hard, oh, yes, very hard indeed it seems
To thus be robbed of my precious prize,
Leave him, little while longer she cries
"Peace be STILL" and the angel smiles and
Soul, can you not regard your Masters
ways?
This child was placed in your care-not
giy'n,
That some day you would follow him to
Heay'n.
NV God I cannot give him up she cries,
land around her the twilight slowly dies
How can I bear this grief? My God
My God!
Then She hears voice "Pass under the
rod"
Silence now reigns! the mother softly
weeps,
While into her heart Gods grace gently
I will obey, "'tis the voice of my God"
Dear Master, let me pass under thy rod!
