Jessies gone beyond our calling,
She has left her home below,

In that city all aglow.
Scarce twelve years God lent her to us.
And we loved her. ali, too well,
She is planted now in heaven,
Evemore with Him to dwell.
Little Jessie, how we miss you,
AS the hours drag slowly by,
Bow our hearts are crushed with sorrow,
Thou art gone, we know not why.
How, no more we hear thy footsteps,
Or the music of thy tongue,
How thy little room is vacant,
God hath called. and thou hast gone.
Thou art gone from earth forever,
We may call. but call in vain;
But thou art only gone before us,
We shall meet in heaven again.

1t seems impossible for the INDEX
and Cresset to get together on single
proposition. To date there are no Wis.
ible signs Of violence but the fact Is EN-
phasized that different individuals see
things IN a different light. The latest
controversy arises oyer the move
ments Of Judge Jasper Napoleon
Tincher. As usual the INDEX is on
the right track. In matters political
we may be adludged wrong by those
who bold different political views, but
In this instance there Is no chance fol
mistake.
