Booker Washington acknowledges with
the sincerest gratitude the liberal and eff

of Tuskegee from the commencement Of his
work among them. He says he never has
appealed to anyone Of them without a re-

Efforts made 20 withdraw the small State

uniformly and successfully resisted by the
white citizens. The school Is regarded as q
valuable contributor TO the trade Of the

American Revolution, Daughters of
the American Revolution, Colonial
Danes of America and the Spanish
War Veterans in the proper obser-

The high and gracious duty to be
obtained in the observance of Lin
coins and Washington's birthdays is
to awaken in the minds and hearts of
the youth strong and abiding faith
in the flag of our country, and an in
telligent appreciation of the lives and
deeds of great and good men.
Every right endeavor should be
made to have all citizens feel that
they have an important work to per-

In your efforts to make our country
the goodliest among the nations may
enduring qualities of justice, truth
honor and loyalty be taught in such
manner as to win the sympathetic af-

Patriotism in School.

instruction, Des Moines.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND
TEACHERS OF Iowa:
[ have been profoundly impressed
with the high character of the exercises
which have been held annually to COM
memorate the birthdays of Lincoln and
Washington, and have full confidence
that the preparation of programs
suited to the varying needs of pupils
is a work that can be safely left to
your wise discretion.
For the reason that special day leaf
lets have for several years been issued
and can be found in school libraries,
it has been decided not to issue a new
one this year.
| sincerely hope that the absence of
a new leafiet will only serve to stimu-
late you to greater zeal in the teaching
of patriotism.

Sermon at Mrs. Smiths Funeral.

A sketch of the funeral sermon
preached by Tsev. ]. r. Hinkhouse at
the funeral of Mrs. Nora Thomas
Smith in Audubon, Iowa, February 8,
1908.
Nora Susan Thomas was born in
Ames, Iowa, July %, 1874, and died
Saturday morning, Feb. Z, 1908, being
% years, 6 months and days old. She
came to Audubon with her parents
just five years, to day, previous to
hor death and has ever since resided
in our midst. On June LIST, 1900 she
was united in marriage to Mr.. Fred
w. Smith.
When young girl of sixteen years
she united with the Presbyterian church
of Sac City and on coming to Audu-
bon she brought her letter and was
reunited with the Presbyterian church
of this place. In all the days of her
health it was her delight to be found
in the house of God. She was not
one whose name was simply on the
church roll, but one whose heart and
hand was in every good work. She
was especially PROMINENT in the musical
and Endeavor circles where her pre-
sence was highly praised and her sweet
spirit was like a constant benediction.
! At no time during her stay in our
midst was she in robust health. Indeed
| it was apparent to all observers that
her stay in this world would be brief.
This, perhaps, no one realized more
clearly than Nora herself, but she
never murmured nor repined. She re.
NAMED cheerful and bouyant to the
last. She was in no haste to leave this
world, putting forth every energy to
prolong her days as far as possible,
but when the time of her departure was
at hand she was ready to go "having
a desire to depart and be with Christ
which is far BETTER She had 40 fear
as to the hereafter for she knew in
whom she believed and was persuaded
that He was able to keep that which
she had committed to Him against
that day-even the salvation of her
soul. No one who knew her intimately
will question for moment the fitness
of apprOpriating the words of pre-
ciOus hymn with reference to her. God
grant that they may also be appropri-
ate for you and me when we take our
last sleep:

Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wax es to awake;
A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus Oh how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet
With holy confidence TO sing
That death has lost his venomed sting.
Asleep in Jesus peaceful rest
Whose walking is extremely blest:
No fear, no woe shall dim that hour
That manifests the SaviOr's power.
Asleep in Jesus oh for me
May such a blissful refuge be,
Securely shall my ashes lie
Waiting the summons from on high.
