Train Passes Over Burning
Bridge.

The disastrous wrecking of train
No. 1S on the Columbia and Green
vile line, due here at 1O:45, but which
was several hours late, was narrowly
averted at Aston last night. The
long approach to the bridge over the
Broad river at Aston was burning at
the time the train swept over it, but
fortunately the fire had just started,
and though five ties were burning
briskly along with the supports just
under them the fire had not been in
progress long enough to weaken the
support sufficient for it to give way
under the train. e..
When the train had passed over the
place some distance the engineer sue
ceeded in bringing it to halt, when
the crew went back and extinguished
the flames with the water from the
tubs set at intervals along the trestle.
The bridge was fired = it is thought,
by an engine that had passed over it
a short time before the passenger
train came along.
Had the passenger train come ten
minutes later it is likely many lives
would have been lost.-Record %.

t In the early morn of June 2Sth, 1905.
Julia A.. Bradford, beloved wife of c..
S. Bradford, departed this life.
God is love; Through these brief
words shines the highest truth of
Christianity. Amid all the blazing
consultations of truth, this is the
central sun. Quench it, and night,
starlit perhaps, but appalling, would
settle upon the universe. IL is this
truth, which, more than any other,
glorifes nature, brightens the pathway
of humanity, sweetens individual life,
and discloses a future ever radiant
with promise-signs. 1t solves our
darkest problems, ightens our heavi-
est burdens, and assuages our greatest
griefs. Blessed is she who lived in it's
glow, and who, dying went home by
it's light.
Home is where the heart is. But
we could not keep our dear one here;
our arms could not hold her. There
is an empty chair in the home; and a
voice we loved to hear is silent. In
the churchyard is a grave fragrant
with flowers, and dewey with tears
do you think she sleeps there? No,
No. The body to dust, the spirit to
God who gave it. But the home circle
will be filled again: We shall meet
her in heaven. With arms extended
wide she will greet us. Beyond the
rushing waters we catch the cleaning
of her white robes as they beckon
from the other shore. Do we not
catch the ringing of her joyous well
come? Lo! she is at the river watch
ing for US as we may cross.
Think of US dearest one, while DER
life's waters we seek the land,
Missing thy voice, thy touch, and the
true helping of thy pure hand,
Till, through the storm and tempest,
safely anchored just on the other
side,
We find thy dear face looking through
deaths shadows, not changed, but
glorifed. G. S. B.
