The Wife
Of Lafayette

America, though revering the name
of Lafayette, has perhaps known too
little of the noble woman who became
his wife before her fifteenth birthday,
the groom himself being but sixteen
years old.
This match, according to the French
custom, was arranged by relatives,
but it proved to be one of the most
ideally happy marriages known to
history When ''the inspired boy ran
away from France and crossed the
ocean to aid our struggling young coun-.

wrote:

The Home for Orphaned Children at

81 Years Ago.

Twenty-one years ago Rev. J. G.
uemen, pastor of a large church at
Council Bluffs, Ia, took into his home
three orphaned children in need of
such a refuge. Learning of other
homeless little ones he soon filed is
house with them, until his own re-
sources were exhausted, and he saw
the necessity for larger quarters, which
