for Aberdeen, South Dakota.
1t is with great regret that the people
Of the Baptist church are called upon to
relinquish Rev. c. d. r. Meacham as
pastor Mr.. Meacham has felt for some
time that, not being in robust health, the
duties were greater than he was able to
discharge, and has decided to resign the
pastorate and he will preach his last
sermon next Sunday, April 1. When Mr.
Meacham returned here about six months
ago, all were glad to welcome him as an
old friend, as during his pastorate Of
seven years several years ago he en-
deared himself to all who made his ac-
quaintance and were privileged to be as
ISOLATED with him in church work. 1t is
with feeling Of loss that he leaves the
church and town.

Der when her dream first came to her
1t must have begun when she was y
child. for the hOuse-her dream house
was clear and distinct among hel
earliest memories.
1t was an old gray gabled place with
snOwdrOp bush beside the door
steps and cottage roses over the back
porch, and a row of blackheart cherry
trees behind. Year by year she had
seen the cherries white with bloom
and watched the tiny pink blossoms

had seen happy faces at the windows
and children running in and out.
The faces changed, for people came
aud went i'm the house, but always
there were happy eyes and always
there was the gay laughter OF children
down the wind.
All through her lonely childhood
Hester had lived in the house. She
never had played much with other
rhildren-her mother did not approve
Of it. As she grew older her MOTHER
exacting lnvalidism claimed all her
time. and after her mother died there
was still a crippled father whose tenn

Through all the prIsoned years she
worked with cheerful patience. sure
that some time her hour would come.
But 1t was SO long In coming! She
could not invite nelghbors in for 1t

leave him to 60 to other places. she
could not even take n Sunday school
class-she who loved girls so. She
could only waylay the doctor some
times and send n little soup or jelly To
his patients. or give n few flowers to
somebody or write note now and
then. She never guessed-how coul,,
she?-that her dream had already
come true in her own heart.
One day complete encouragement
fell upon her. The years stretched out

house had vanished; 1t had all been
