PuzZling enough to an American IS
the English fashion of spelling L name
one way and pronouncing it in quite
another. but the cities are even worse
than the individuals, since they deliber-
ately adopt some alias. The town Of
Hull. for instance, is Ningston-on-Huil.
1t has no official recognition as any
thing else, yet as Hull it is known to
nine out Of ten, who would wonder Il
Kingston -on-Hull was near the town OF
Hull should they hear it mentioned.
Even supposedly respectable cathedral
towns are not above hiding identity,
and to call New Sarum salisbury" is
to give it its alias. The royal town Of
Windsor is really New Windsor. and
the county of Hampshire popularly
shortened to Hants. is in reality the
county Of southampton. Bradford-by-
the-Sea is more correctly Morecambe,
but rightly Foulton lc Sande. while
Bridlington, sometimes called Burling.
ton. is more popularity Wakefeld-by-the-

On March 11th, Miss, Martha
Beatson died at Paxville at the
ripe age Of a years. Nothing
is more beautiful than the clos.
ing OF a we'll spent life: when
one Of Gods chosen ones lays
aside the duties, responsibilities
and cares Of q truly noble career
to answer the call of an approx
ing God to come up higher.
Hers was a life wholly dedicat.
ed to the service of her creator
and in ministering to the needs
of others. She was one who
realized fully that he who gets
most out OF life must put most
in it.
Her kind words and smiles
the burden of others lighter.
Her gentle hand cooled many
fevered brow, and her words OF
encouragement brought sunshine
to many in lonely life. Her mes,
sage Of Heavenly love breathed
into the ear of the dying carried
eternal peace to the death cham
Der.
With a hosts of Gospel grace
which attended her daily walk,
giving force to her teachings and
beauty to example, with power
born in Heaven, she dispelled
all fear and trembling from the
departing soul, and revealed to
the shrinking sinner the loving
smile of a merciful Saviour.
Why weep for "Antie," for
these are only tears of a selfish
love. Would we postpone her
heavenly bliss simply to crafty
our longing for her sanity pres
ence again, and to continue un.
der her blessed influence.
While we deeply mourn our
loss, we should render thanks to
ommipotence for her gain.
She lived for children, and led
many tender little feet safely
over the forbidding stones and
prickly thorns that beset life's
pathway: and enfold the weaker
ones in her arms of Christian
love and sympathy, ever shield
ing them from the blighting
storms of temptation, and point
| ing them to a life blessed by the
Great Lover of little children.
AS we plant tiowerr on
;.Anttie's' grave and water
them with our tears, let US
not forget her God who loves US
still, and who will send his Angel
OF mercy to kiss away our tears,
and bid US look up and behold
the beauty of Goodness, and re-
member that if she could at this
moment stand by our side, she
would again whisper as she did
on her dying bed, "a smile is
bitter than a frown," and her
Angel spirit would tell US of a
God who loves us and of a
Heaven of eternal bliss. X.
