In Memory of the Late Mrs. H. E.
Truck.


We do not question the wisdom
of our Heavenly Father in remov.
ing our sister from the scenes of
earth, nor do we complain at His
dealing with us, however mysteri-
Gus it may now seem,
Trusting implicitly in His love
and knowing that He never chast-
ems His children without also rich
ly blessing them, we submit i'll
humble resignation to His will and
providence.
When first the sweet spirit, the
ideal wife of our pastor, came into
our midst several years ago, she
hastened to enlist as a member of
the Sunday School and the various
church socities conducted by the
ladies. At no time neglectful of
the duties she owed to her husband
and little children, hers was a life
of conservation and Il service Of
love in the Masters cause. Always
cheerful and gathering inspiration
from the brighter side Of life, full
of hope and charactized by a sim
pie, child-like faith in God that
never faltered in darkness or diff
Guilty, she won her happy way in
to all our hearts and rendered de-
lightful our service and sacrifices
in be half of sOul-benighted hu-
manity. She has gone from us and
her loved ones forever, in her love-
ly young wCmanhOOd, and W e
mourn sadly her departure; but
her sunny influence, her self-sacri'
ficing spirit, the memory Of hel
true devotion to her hus band ant
childr en-, her Church and her God
will ever remain as an inspiration
to grander and holier deeds in the
Savior's name.
Beyond the touch Of sin aud
suffering, beyond the power Of
death toharm, our sister is with the
Lord, enjoying an eternity Of ser
vice and praise. Let us rejoice IL
the hope that "some sweet day" W,
shall join her in that Land o
Light and Love where partings
are never known.
TO the broken h earted husband
our beloved pastor, to the dear OLE
grandmother who loved her so de
votedly and the little children VIII
cannot now realize their loss, W
extend our sincere sympathy. Ma.
God, who tempers the wind to tn

ones in tender mercy from all harl
and make them Il blessing to tn

A WESTERN TRIP.
George Kabrich, of Mexico, Tells of
Some of the Sights.

OInOud, Cul., aug. O,-DEAh
SIR: Since my letter of July Goth
l have been thru the State of
Washington, aud seen the won
derful prune orchards there, have
been in Vancouver, crossed the
Columbia river at Portland, and
went to the fair again.
This time we went in all of the
buildings, even on the Trail, which
is the same as the st. Louis Pike.
Our Missouri building is grand,
and has by far the best corn exhibit
of all the states, and Washington,
Oregon aud California lead in
grain and fruits. The next day
we visited Portland Heights and
Grand Park. This park surpasses
any on the coast for grandeur,
flowers, water animals, fowls and
fish.
The first of the month we left
Portland and went over Mount
Shasta, from where, when we
reached the summit, we could see
Mount Hood and Mount Helen.
This is the most wonderful route
in the world. We had three pow
erful engines pulling and pushing
our train of thirteen coaches over
the mountains, 10000 feet in
height; in ten miles of travel we
had gained only one mile in alti-
tude, going round and 'rou nd the
mountain and could look down
t h GUS an d of miles a II d
see two or three ira C k we
had travelled over to gain the sum-
nit. We all got out of the cars at
Shasta Springs and dipped our
bills" d" but | did not relish the
taste of the water; too much sui
phur. We then went down the
mountain and wound along the
Sacramento river to old Sacramen-
to, and then went aboard the larg-
est ferry in the world; cars and
all crossed the Sound, where 20
years ago we had to go around
by land. We soon arrived at Oak
land, where we took in the city OF
colleges. This city has improved
wonderfully since we last saw it.
On the fourth we started for Los
Angeles, ON the coast line, and
passed thru some of the most beau.
tiful country on earth; stopped al
