In her woman's hear TT was a poem,
A'grand and tender song.
A word OF hope for the weary,
A stern rcbuke TO the wrong;
It'often pleaded for u~tterance,
For voice to reach tire world,
To be raised where NIL might heed Il,
ADanner' OF love unfurled.
But she never found the monscnt

To bresthe out the burning fcsart words

There were always household duties.
Dull rounds for every day,
And just before her. step bystep,
SOME task unfinished lay.
Her children grew up and blessed her
And horsored her sainted name:
She 'hxs gutaed'their chiidsh'footsteps,
But she had missed the road to fame.
From the many snares and pitfalls
Along their youthful way.
Her wxrchful eye had saved them
Not one had wandered astray.
The good angel wrote down her life-work-
Aapure and s~hiningtpage.
More sweet than dreams Of a poet.
More grand than seer or sage;
She has met each homely duty.
Striving not for earth's renOwn
Her life was a poem OF beauty,
Her reward I'm h~eaven-a crown.

l.. b. JAN ES

To the Members and Friends OF the
Ladies' Cemetery Association:
January, 1905, begun the eleventh
year Of the work OF the Ladies' Gene
terry Association. The past ten years
Is evidence OF the interest, earnest
effort and determination to succeed.
We have had the cordial cooperation
of most Of the good people Of Grenada
and OF some, who, while residing else
where, are still mindful OF dear ones
sleeping SO quietly in cur beautiful
city of the dead. We thank each and
every n who has helped. Every
citizen OF Grenada is, or should be,
deeply concerned i'm this work. May
we not confidently expect the mate
rial aid Of each n who ifas friendsgr
dear mes buried in either cemetery:
The dues are 80 per aunHM beginning
January; less than is charged by any
like organization. IL you do not pay
for your work you accept it from some
less able, perhaps, than yourself.
The work has grown and is more than
the sexton can do, unaided. The as
ISOLATION has promised the needed as
Sistance, but Cannot meet the expenses
unless those interested meet their
part of the responsibility.
Last September the earnest workers
of the association met, and deeply de-
ploring the condition of the cemetery,
owing to the weather and two months
illness OF the sexton, determined to
put it in its usual attractive appear
ance. They hired more than twenty
cOlored men-went early and stayed
late-and cleaned the entire cemetery
your. lot as we'll Of theirs.
From September 5 to- october 16, |
the association paid out about Sl15,
leaving in the treasury less than S15,
more depleted than at any time since
organization.
Again we publish that each lot
owner is eDpeoted to direct the work
on her lot. The executive committee
Su%perintendS the general work, but
does not beautify lots except where
the absent ones furnish the money
and request it. Some lots look better
than Others because they have the
personal attention OF the owners.
Where they look neglected the %refec-
tiOn is upon the owner and not the
association. We request those who
are not members OF the Cemetery AS
ISOLATION not to engage our sexton
while he is working for the associa-
tion.
The time to begin work is near.
Will not each and every one lend a
helping hando Cooperation, present
is what we ask Of you for
yours.

THE BOY WHO Il

Do you feel, young fellow, that yo
'have a hard time? Your hours ar
long. Your task is hard and tn,
wages are small. The contents @
your weekly pay envelope will scarel.
carry you over the week. Sometime
you must wear patched trousers or
frayed coat. Your employer expect
a great deal from you. Other fellow
dress we'll and always have money
They have coddling fathers and moth
ers while you toll six days a week t.
make a living.
Never mind, young man. You are
ahead Of the boy, who has every luxury
at home. You are getting experience
that he must get somehow later on.
Because, sooner or later he must fight
the real battle Of life himself. AND
you have the advantage. While life
has been made easy for him, he lacks
drill and discipline which every life
soldier must go through. You are
preparing yourself. He may 60 ia
without preparation and fall.
FOR EACH TO DECIDE.
Life seems full Of new possibilities
in the opening of a new year: The
question for each girl to decide is how
to meet the opportunities which are
offered to her, and how to make the
most Of them. There is knowledge to
be gained because it is a pearl beyond
price to the pOSSeSSOr, there are tai
ents to be developed, because it is a
duty to cultivate ones gifts; there is
work to be done, because work means
usefulness and cOntentment. There
are always virtues to be striven for,
because they help to make strong, no
BILE characters. The great thing is to
aim at a true and noble womanhood.
To be honest, to be truthful and to
do what is right and to keep a clear
conscience would seem very simple
rules for conduct in life, yet if these
are followed, happiness will come, for
that depends more on ones self than
on circumstances or surroundings.
Life may be full of beauty and USE
fulneSS il one is unSelfish. Ordinary
everyday life affords 81 many oppor-
tunities for doing some good service.
. gentle word spoken to one who is
angry, an encouraging Or a sympa-
thetic word to a respondent or sad
an earnest word Of warning to
any one who may be in danger of fol-
y, all these little things are very
helpful. A cheerful manner hasa
effect on others: a sunny
brightens the home. Every
me has, at times, known the bracing,
feeling that comes when
into a face which reflects a
noble, pure soul, or a brave, strong
me. 1t may be the face of a stranger,
)ut the unconscious influence of that
inc character is not lost on the pass
r-by. 1t is a character which counts
n life, noble motives and high
thoughts which are worth having.
With these possessions and that sweet
1aid only reserve, mOdesty and deli
.cy which 20 with refinement, a girl
1ill not only be nor charming, but
,ill have an influence e all her as

SOCIETY.

Society is full Of failures that need
never have been made; full of men
who have never succeeded; full o:
women, who in the first half of their
days did nothing but eat and sleep
and shipper, and in the last half have
done nothing but perpetuatc their
follieS and weakness. The world is
full, we say, of people; full of men in
every trade and profession, who do
not amount to anything, and we do
not speak %irrevently and we trust
not without due charity, without
making due allowance for the newt
able in life, when we say that God
and thoughtful men are weary Of their
presence. Every boy ought to i'm
prove on his father; every girl grow
into a nobler, gentler, more self deny
ing womanhood than the mother. No.
production of former types will give
the world the perfect types. We
kn0w not where the Millennium is. as
measured by distance of time, but we
do know. and so do you. that 1t is a
great way 0tf. as measured by human
growth aud expansion. We have no
men and women yet no age has
ever had any. as shall stand on the
earth in that age OF peace that will
not come until men are worthy of it.
Young men, young women, don't let
your lives be failures. Make the best
3f what God has given you. Let your
gratitude to Him for life and its no.
Die endowments be exerted In a full
devotion Of will and thought and

And remember, that It is only good
aud useful work that He provides.
Si,uu evil Woodwork that harms

RESIGNATION OF cRAPsEY.
VIII Likely Broaden and LIbsraII1
Tenets Of Church.

New York, Nov. 28.--The Tribune
says indications are that the resig-
nation Of Rev. DR., Algernon s. Crap
sey, of Rochester, after his convic-
ton of heresy by an ecclesiastical
court, will set in motion a movement
in the Episcopal church to broaden
and liberalize its tenets.
Rev. FosSer Peabody is quoted as
saying that while no steps had been
taken in that direction yet, a meeting
Of men who desired a more liberal
church faith was likely to discuss the
sentence pronounced on DR.. Crapsey
and its bearingg on themselves and
the general situation within the
church.
A Rochester, n. Y, special TO the
TrlNune says that in talk with the
Rev. Algernon s. Crapsey Monday
It developed that after thirty years OF
service in the Episcopal church and
after having built up church prop
erty valued at $3.50, 900, he withdraws
from the priesthood practically penni-
less and with not even home to go
to-. His personal charities, added
to what he has given directly to his
church. have been many and large,
and have deplNted HIS resources.
DR.. Crapsey,A is stated, will now
devote himself 10 disseminating his
views on the platform and through
the medium of the press and reviews.
