CLAIMED as its victim Robena Leggate
GIideweil, aged % years, 9 months and
II days She fell victim of that
dread d disease consumption. but bore
suffering with christian fortitude
aud bowling in humble submission to
the will of Him who doeth all things
well"
Word, are inadequate to express our
sorrow in this sad affection but we
grieve not as those who have no hope,
in the resurrection morning we shall
meet.
We have covered her face with tears,
we have called her name, without any
reply, Ah!-we did not know we
loved her so, there is vacant chair at
the tireside, there is new made grave
in the cemetery. there is an aching void
in our hearts all these belong to Miss
Bena. "Out of the shadow land into
the sunshine
Cloudless, eternal, that fades not
away; softly and tenderly Jesus hath
called her Home, where the ransomed
are gathering today.
But God knoweth best;
Twas He who gave the call,
He took the gentle soul to rest,
He careth for US all
She leaves an aged father and
mother, husband, two children and a
host of friends and relatives to mourn
her loss. One who loved her.

ne killing of men under the me
OF war. Is the fCulest blot upon human
ity today. We see much discussion as
to what IL Is or what is not permissib e
under civil warfare NV view l. that
tins Is contradiction Of terms. There
can be no such thing as civilized war
fare. We have made little progress in
the path OF genuine ciyiliz riion as long
as We can find no better substitute for
he settling of international disputes
than the brutal murder of one another.
As general proposition it may be
stated that the nation which refuses
peaceful arbitration is responsible for
the war which ensues Britain, having
done this in dispute with the Trans
vaal Republic. is responsiblefor the ex-
termination of brave and herolc
Christian people.
But let us also remember that we
are today engaged in shooting down
Christian Filipinos, whose only crime
IS that they believe in the declaration
OF independence. Sad that both
branches of the so called most highly
civilized race should be guilty of the
most uncivilized crimes. Let us all
pray that this disgrace is soon TO pass
away"
