For elin chemistries that yield
The green fires of the April field;
For all the foam and surge of bloom
For leaves gone glorious to their doom
All the wild loveliness that can
Touch tho immortal In a man.
Father Of Life, thank Thee, too,
For old acquaintance. near and true
For friends who came into my day
And took the loneliness away;
For faith that held on to the last;
For all sweet memories of the past
Dear memories Of my dead that send
Long thoughts Of life, and of life's end
That make me know the light oonceals
A deeper world than It reveals.

and has been started by the Woman's Branch of
the Brooklyn City Mission Society. a fund has
been established for that purpose. and call for
aid issued all organizations which are engaged
in similar work. Following is a part of the reso-
lutions adopted:
Whereas of late years there has been a startling
increase In immortality at Coney Island with the
addition of established schools of vice. so that
affairs seem TO have reached a climax which calls
for united and determined action; therefore.
Resolved, That the Woman's Branch of the City
Mission Society invite the Committee OF Fifteen
the Woman's Anti-Nice Committee, all kindred
ganizations and all respecting citizens, TO
unite with IT for the purpose of putting an end to
existing conditions. which have not only virtually
destroyed the only summer resort of thousands Of
respectable families, but have accomplished the
temptations offered TO the young.
The society desires to awaken a public sentiment
against the denominations at Coney Island, to urge
respectable people to keep themselves and their
children away from II. and to offer protection and
aid to the many innocent victims of the schools of
vice at Corey Island. Mrs E. r. Chivers, of No
$50 Carrollst. Brooklyn. has consented to receive
all subscriptions to the rescue fund. A number of
well known men have indorsed the movement.
