MI. and Mrs. Wellman travelled through
the South seeking a desirable climate.
They spent some time in New Iberia,
where they made many friends. Later on
they found charming spot in the noun

A number of cultured English people
from the old college town of Rugby had
settled there The climate proved bene-
fetal in many respects. Mrs. Wellman at
once interested herself in the church and
sunday school. sowing seeds of kindness
and blessing all who came within her
influence. And so, when like tired

all the people seemed to vie with each
other in showing their affection and hon
oring her memory The town bell was
muilled and tolled to express public sof

of roses, and all that loving hearts and
hands could do, was done to comfort the
sorlowing hearts of her dear ones, who
stood, as il were, still gazing up into
Heaven into which she had passed out of
their sight There was no drapery of

which the very heart and center of all its

mother always emphasized the fact 'fhat
to put on immortality and be received
into the Fathers house, into the place
prepared for us, was the blessed privilege
of Gods children" SO those to whom
she was dearest, will not sorrow as those
who have no hope, but rather strive to
walk closely in her footsteps, preparing to
meet her in "the land not very far off.

''What il tomonows cares were here
Without its rests
I'd rather He'd unlock the day,
And as the hours swing open say,
"My will is best"
The very dimness of my sight

For what cannot He can see,
And in His care we safe shall be,
Forever blessed
