Resolutions of Respect.

On Wednesday morning, November
1st, word was borne from one to an
other, Mrs. Emma Hall is dead.
Dead?
There is no death: what seems so is transition;
This life of Mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call Death:
Or shall we say, Gods tender hand
Touched her and she slept.
We, the undersigned. a committee
of officers of the Ladies Mite Society
of Asbury M. E. Church, for ourselves,
and for those whom we represent,
hereby record our high appreciation of
her beautiful and consistent christian
character. We shall miss her in our
Society. A voice is hushed; seat is
vacant. We count one less.
Resolved I:-That while we who still
remain, will miss her presence and ef-
ficient aid in the general work of our
Society, we will remember the beauti-
full example of faithfulness to duty,
she has placed before us, and we will
draw continual inspiration for cur owr
work therefrom.
Resolved 2:-In her diligent and
faithful service for Christ, in all the
spheres in which her willing spirit ex
ercised its activities, she was evel
helpful, ready and cheerful, and leaves
to us legacy, an example of fidelit,
worthy of imitation. She has gone be
fore us, to see the King in His beauty
and to dwell in the City, who's
Builder and Maker is God.

What would Christmas be without
the traditional dinner with the good,
old fashioned plum pudding and tie
numerous other seasonable dainties?
But something new in this line is the
practice, coming into favor of includ-
ing various forms of cookery among
ones Christmas gifts. In the Decem-

wife," by Isabel Gordon Curtis, Civ
ing many useful hints to this purpose.

Harmonious Sauces." and Quaint Lit
tie Cakes for Holiday Occasions"

new to add to ones menus, and "Home
Made Holiday beverages" and liable

Parties" close this very valuable de-
partment of the magazine.

strong, including stories by Eleanor
Harley, Edwin Carlife Litsey, Homer
