Just ninety years ago to- day, Mar. 29th,
in Methodist parsonage in Bolton, P. o :,
a little Iassie, Polly Thompson, first beheld
the light of day. We can well imagine the
Joy and delight that filled the hearts OF the
good minister and his wife, as they looked
upon theic only daughter. Together they
consecrated her to God and pledged their
united efforts to bring her ur in the nur-
ture and admonition of the Lord. That
they succeeded, her daily life has ever tes-
titled. Two days before she reached the
age of Is years, she gave her heart and
hand in marriage to Jonn Daley, who was
seven years her senior. Then, truly, began
her battle with life's cares. She, having
satisfied the conservation of her parents to
Gods service, with her husband also de-
voted to the same service, journeyed on.

train the five little ones committed to their
care to become useful citizens and noble
Christians. Were not those delightful
days, though full to overlooking with cares.

Here and there your mind loves to Iinger
upon some sunny spot, or even upon some
cloud that for a time seemed to Obscure
your horizon, but implicit trust in your
Heavenly Father soon led you to find the
''silver Iining," even when two of your
little ones were folded in the arms of the
Good Shepherd. Among the bright mem
cries, methinks not the least, is the remem
brance of the years in which your home
was blessed by the presence of your hus-
bands mother who, to quote from an arti
Gle written for your fiftieth wedding ami
versary, "speDt the last and best DAYS of
her life in Johns home, the son and
daughter-in-law,a and the grand daughter
ministering to her, ever patient with ner
infirmities and mindful Of her wants. till
full of years and ripe for the Harvest, she
passed on to her perfect reward" Isn't 1t
great consolation to you now in your de-
cliDing years, that you helped smooth the
pathway of the aged mother and by your
patience and self-sacrifice made her last
days happy? That you gave up your fndi-
viduaI preferences for few years TO please
and crafty the mother whom your bus-
band loved so we'll, brings sweet satisfac-
tion to vou uou Siuca 1913 her bonoo -.
