But oh, l wonder if any one knows

Jan. u, 1905
Mrs. Jane Shambly wife of
Russell Shambly, after ten days
suffering of pneumonia, pass
ed to her reward having lived a
devoted christian life from the
age of early childhood. She
leaves a husband, four children,
one brother and one sister, with
other relatives and friends to
mourne their loss. Though great
their loss is her great gain, to be
with Christ is better.
Brother and sister let us Try to
do more for our Master by trying
to do good to others. for in so do
ing we help ourselves.
Yes, Sister Shambly is sweetIy
resting today. 1t will not not be
long until we shall hear the voice
of Jesus, calling us, saying,
come home dear children, and
then we will lay our arms down
and we will go to the place where
God has prepared for them that
serve Him.
We shall see her again but not
suffering as she suffered here.
May the dear Lord bless and COM
fort Brother Shambly and chill
dren in this sad hour. We sym
pathise with her family bat to
know she has gone to wait our
coming, let's all strive to meet
Sister Shambly in heaven where
there will be no sorrow.
Oh! how sweet to die a chris
tan. They say she is dead but
she is not, she is Just waiting for
judgment day with outstretched
arms to beckon us home.
We loved her, yes, we loved
her, but angels loved her more
and they have sweetly called her
home
The golden gates We're open
A gentle voice said come
And with farewell unspoke,
She calmly entered home.

Virginia Wants Immigrants.

The commissioner of agriculture of
Virginia has a novel scheme in which.
it is said. the Governor OF the state and
the legislature will support him. 1t is
that OF getting 10000 to 10000 of Lon
don's unemployed to come to Virginia
where they will be given work on the
farms. The idea is not To colonize these
Immigrants. rs was done there in the
old times. but distribute them through
the state of Virginia wherever their
services are needed by the farmers.
over million immigrants arrived in
the United States last year. but only 4
very small part of them sought the
Southern states. Those who did not
continue on to the West remained
mainly in the large cities of the East
where the annual influx is presenting
one of the greatest problems of our
times.
But the South is not suffering from
any embarrassment of riches in the
matter of newcomers as are the North
and West. On the contrary it wants
therl so badly that this Virginia plan
is net only seriously considered but
seems likely to be adopted and similar
projects are on foot III other Southern
states. The negro labor upon which the
South has always depended for its farm
and plantation work has become in re-
cent years less desirable and more diff
cult to obtain. 1t is said that thou
sands and thousands of negroes have
recently left Virginia to work in the
coal mines of West Virginia and Penn
sylVania.

the same great heart. tho same vigor-
Gus intellect. and the same splendid
courage and independence that have

There is simply no measuring our
debt to DR.. Parker either as individuals
or as a community. and there is no
thought of trying to pay it and square
accounts. 1t is not an affair of the
balance sheet. The only return is the
trust placed in him. the leadership so
cheerfully accorded to him. and. most
of all. the love for him which warns
so many hearts in this city We have
no idea that he realizes the unique pO-

may jar his modest sensibilities to
have such public reference made to it,

that very reason. May many another

Bowdoin Boys in Labrador.

Bowdoin Boys in Labrador.
In 1891 an exploring expedition under
The leadership Of Prof. Leslie A. Lee Of
Bowdoin College, and made up largely
of students and young alumni of that
institution, pushed far into the interior
Of Labrador, and by its important
gcograp hical and scientific discoveries
turned the attention of the world in a
marked degree to that vast region con-
corning which little or nothing had
earlier been known. This expedition
was the beginning of a large number of
explorations which have since been car
ric,i on there, but none Of these later
expeditions has brought about more
valuable scientific results or revealed
greater natural wonders than that led
by the man who has been Bowdoin's
professor of geology and biology for 80
years. Ruwdoin Canyon and the Great
Falls of Labrador are among the great
est natural wonders of America. The
Great Falls, which are SIG feet in
height are of greater volume than
Niagara itself, and had never been
looked upon by white men until two
members of the Bowdoin expedition
reached it after many privations and
peris. This expedition though at
tended with many hardships and dis
astcrs which tested to the utmost the
endurance Of the best athletes in the
party, returned safely and without loss
of life.
This famous Labrador expedition is
now recalled by the publication of L
dom Boys in Labrador" 1t is an ex-
tended account o. the party's adven-
lures ami discoveries written immedi-
atciy after the return by Jonathan
Prince Cilley. Jr., of Rockland. who
was a member of the party and who
has since died. General J. Z. Cillcy of
Rockland has brought out the volume
as fitting memorial to the memory Of
his son and it will doubtless have a
wide reading. 1t is written in Il vivid
style which is fully up to the level of
the brilliant achievements which the
writer narratts, and the intrinsic inter-
est of the story which 50 closely con-
meets our State and our oldest college
=
ter Of c"ngratuation that the journal
Of young Cillcy has been given to the
public.
The author is Il member of one of
Names best old families. being Il son,
as St.tcG above. of General Cillcy and
n grandson of the Congressman Cillcy
of Maine who was shot in the famous
duel with Graves in the exciting ante
b"lum days. Congressman Cillcy
graduated from Eowdoin in the famous
class Of -, General Cillcy in '5S and
the younger Cilley in 81. When IL
freshman In college he won fame by
climbing to the top of the spir. of King
chapel and fastening his class flag to
the lighting rod. $50 feet from the
ground. 1t was the first time this
hazardous feat had been accomplished
though it has several times been dupi-
Gated since. After graduation he went
on the expedition to Labrador with
Prof. Lee and party. a few years ago
he died. and in his death u most prom
Using life was cut short. The spirit
which led him to the top of the King
chapel spire and to the side of the Won
dcrful Great Falls which no white man
had ever viewed before was one which
the world could i'll afford to lose.
