Subdued adult has ceased to know how to
obey;-Rey. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst

bles to dust can the flower lift its beauti-
ful face to the smiling sun. Through the
chambers of seeming death lies the path to
the larger. richer and fuller life Death

the possibilities with which God in love
has enriched our lives. The white faces of
