In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of our
darling baby, William Edwin Dutton,
who departed this life six months ago,
October 18th, 1905.
The depth of our sorrow no tongue can
tell,
At the loss of the one we loved so we'll,
And while he lies in peaceful sleep
His sacred memory we shall always
keep.
The night dew that falls, though in ST.
lence it weeps,
Shall cover the grave where our dear
baby sleeps;
And the tears that we shed, though in
secret they flow,
Shall keep in memory our dear baby
wherever we go.
BY his devoted parents, Motley T. and
Emma E. Dutton.

LIS SUB JUDGE.

o Comrades live forever-do not die,
Nor sleep in darkness while tits called
today;
You should not think there is no truth
(nor y
In what they say.
They tell us in some Book Divine-Pro-
found,
That ev'ry name and ev'ry act of men,
To life or death, is justly written down
With iron pen.
We do not know, but fears our consci-
ence press,
That something must survive this NOR
tai tide.
To stand or fall in judgment sore, unless
The world has lied
We meet together at the 'poor mans
barr
We ''tip'' our glasses and together
drink
on ds5H ;,;t I ! net proceed too far
Another step beyond, nor three, nor two,
Might launch this bark of life on
hopeless wave,
And ruin bring to every captain true,
And sailor brave.
OF Brother, why should not another
warn
(Who keeps within the bounds of
studies care
His fellow-men to Slip the aat'ring
''hornn
With dreadful fear.
Tell you this thing Though we may
take our SMILE
And gloss our reasons for the deed
that's done;
Yet Alcohol is killing millions while
1t saves its one.
II bssss TO you to say which side is right;
almost,
The armies of the Living God in sight.
And Satan's host
The tug of war is on the suthing bay.
And you may sink for reasons vet un-
known
But God in everlasting love some day
viii know His own.
Think Of yon wretched mother and her
"Jo,''
Whose ray of hope lives in our ehivalry,
And maidens pure as limpid streams
that how,-
For these we'll die
Though much depends on Heavens
kindly aid,
He leaves us free our duty to fulfil
The solemn pledge in cleansing water
made
To do His will !
So oft you're told me that excess is
wrong,
And wish'd the Demon was expel,d
the land;
Now if you mean it, twill not take you
long
You UNDERSTAND
And wives and children, blasted by your
sin,
On pray'rful knees to Heay'n to break
the bond,
win bless you when you meet them
smiling in
The Great Beyond
All things, It's true, are pure to him
that's pure;
The hungry eat, the thirsty brave the
use;
But he who steps beyond this righteous
law
Has no excuse.
Far better this, to fly the victims thralI.
Than writhe in mania on your dying
day;
So if you're tasted, and too wise to fall,
Take heart,-away
Your noblest deed might save some way
ward girl,
And cause another star to shine |
above;
And though twas Jesus who redeem'd |
the world,
Your PART Is LOVE
Come to the fount that satisfies that
thirst
Dame Nature plants in ev'ry loyal
breast
And He Who saves mankind, by rebels
curid,
Will do the rest.
