In Memory of Mrs. lrollis Locke.

There is mourning In the household
And her friends, in sorrow weep;
For the Saviour called her
And she closed her eyes in sleep,
And as the glory of the eternal city
Burst upon her sight,
She heard the mighty chorus
From the multitude, enrobed in white.
Her feet had grown weary
For LIES pathway. for her. had grown
too steep;
So God called her home from suffering
And gave her rest in peaceful sleep,
But afar, in the land of glory.
Which mortals cannot behold,
Free from pain, clad in robes immor-
tai
She awoke in the city of gold.
And we might presume to say
OH why was she taken away,
From her children and husband to
whom she was necessary?
Why was she not permitted with them
to stayf
But obi we only know she was taken
from them
And has entered into her rest,
Leaving them in tears and sorrow,
Yet, still, our Father knows best,
And it is not for us to question
But know that what God does is right
And He will give us the explanation
When we reach the city of light.
And though the cup, her loved ones
are drinking, Is bitter,
With its dreges of cruel pain,
But, in heaven, it will be exchanged
for chalice of joy
And they win never know sorrow
again;
For death cannot enter heaven.
And heartache, sorrow and pain
Can never blight the joys of the in
habitants,
In that city where opr God does
reign.
Oh thank God, for His precious prom
Use of the future meeting,
How it sooths our anguish and pain,
And gives us strength to journey
along the homeward way
Which will end at our Fathers throne
Where we all shall meet again,
Where the terrible wounds which
this parting has made
Will be healed by Gods loving hand
When Ho reunites the links
OF this severed household band.

The four spelling schools that
were held at night, within the

an interest in spelling, and in cul-
tivating the social relation between
the teacher and patrons of the
school.
A. Q. Jamison, teacher at Morn.
ing Star, came over and brought
his pupils with him, and spent the
afternoon of the last day with ne.
