Grave opened by Tree.

In the Gartenkirchhof, Hanover, is
a grave covered by mighty stone, on
which an inscription appears to the
effect that the grave should never be
opened by human hands. The seed of
a birch fell through a crack in the
stone, and, developing to a large tree,
opened the grave in its upward
growth. The tree has now withered
and decayed. When it is removed the
grave will again be closed.

A LETTER FROM FLORIDA
Read Before the Epworth League
at the Meeting Last Sunday
Evening.

The following letter, which was reaC
before the meeting Of the Epworth
League last Sunday night, was recently
received by Rev j. r. Wooton, from
Miss Iva Salter, a graduate Of Alma
college and former Alma girl, who il
now teaching in the Bay Ian Home at
Jacksonville, Florida
"In 1885 Miss Emerson, our present
sup't, opened school for colored girls
in a little one story cottage, in what
was then a suburb of Jacksonville.
This small beginning with only six girls,
has grown into a school of nearly four
hundred scholars in the day school and
sixty. two boarding in the home, where
they are taught 10 be home makers as
well as housekeepers They are taught
20 do every kind Of Homework, which is
entirely new to some of them A little
example will show you the kind Of homes
from which some of these girls come.
A girl was asked to wash some windows
and il would seem TO any of us that
everyone would know enough to get
soap and water, but this girl did not
zen know the first thing TO do, as in
her home windows were an unknown
luxury. They are also taught cooking,
both plain sewing and dressmaking
they are given the advantages of good
library, and in fact everything which
constitutes pure christian home.
The school of six which started in the
little cottage now occupies and owns all
the buildings, seven In NUMBER, in a
whole city block with the exception of
one which awaits repairs before being
used. These buildings consist of the
main building or home, where most of
the girls room and board, the school
house, and five large two story cottages
We are surrounded by nice dwellings
and churches. To be sure the people
who live in the surrounding neighbor-
hood care very little for us and our work,
but as whole the white people of
Jacksonville are very liberal in their
treatment OF the colored people and as a
result, they have made a great advance.

lawyers and merchants. They consti.
tute wo-thirds of the population Of the
city. Last New Years day they cele-
brated the fortieth anniversary of their
emancipation, and il is truly wonderful

made in forty years.
"The influence of such an institution
as Baylan Home is simply unknown,
beside leading many girls into purer and
more pleasant lives. The homes from
which they come have been changed
from poverty and degradation into
homes, If not actually what they should
be, yet much better than before. Some
girls who have gone from this school
are In northern colleges being trained
for missionaries, who will carry the
salvation Of our blessed Savior into
Africa's darkness.
This school also reaches and helps
