OBITUARY
az arly, Bright, transient,
Chaste rs morning dew,
She Sparkled, was eXhaled


"E arly, Bright. transient,
Chaste rs morning dew,
She sparkled was eXhaled,
And went to heaven"
Thus Is Is said Of Miss Virnie NJ. Reed, Of
Lincoln, one or the most lovable and respec-
ted young ladies OF our vast acquaintance.
She lived a life that leaves its hallowed in
nuence upon this, a sorrowing community
aud all think the world Is better for her hav.
ing lived. Her virtues were numerous, and
among the most prominent was the virtue OF
love;
ayes, love indeed, is light from heaven,
a spark OF that immortal fire
With angels shared, by Alla given,
To lift from earth our low desire.
Devotion watts the mind above,
But heaven itself descends in love"
And religion: 81 venerate the man whose
heart is warm, whose hands are pure, whose
doctrine and whose life coincident, exhibit
lucid proof that he is honest In the Sacred
Cause.
And heavenly work ''rhe generous who is
always just, and the Just who is always gem
erous, may, unannouneed, approach the
throne Of heaven"
isshe looked at death as the crown oflife,
Were death deny'd, poor men would live In
Were death deny'd, to live would not be life
Were death deny'd, ev'n fools would wish 70
die"
No words that / might add could portray
the beauty ofsuch lie She lived for home
friends, and her God. VII. W.

ted the thirteenth anniversary Of that

Prayer, Mercy and Help Work, The

ments was represented by a member
Of the League who gave brief hiS-
tory of its work. The singing was led
by a chorus choir, and a very pretty
quartette was rendered by Miss Mary
Little Mrs. Edward Atkins, NJ. G. Lof-
land and J. Hall Anderson.
One Of the features the programme
was selection given by four Junior
Epworth Leaguers entitled ''Ibe Rain
bow Treasure" They had heard that
at the foot Of the rainbow was buried
great treasures Of diamonds and gold,
and after consultation decided to iuves-
tigate for themselves So with picks
and shovels they began TO dig at the
rainbow's end and unearshed the great
est treasure in the world, the Holy
Bible
The closing address was delivered by
the pastor, Rev. S. NJ Morgan, who
urged the young people to unite with
this organization, as it is the training
school for christian work, and that all
workers who would be skillful must
receive training.
