For the sake of the parents and relatives. For the sake of the church and the town But in spite of prayers that were offered. In spite of the best care of nurses. We had to submit to Gods will For the angel of death cam- and called them. To the mansions of the best. From bed of pain and sickness. To land of peace and rest.
 While thinking of their noble, un- selfish lives, of their patient, Submis- sive, ChrlStltke spirit in their sickness and of their quiet, peaceful death, the Following verses came into my mind which l sincerely hope will be of some comfort 10 the sorely affiictei relatives and friends:
 TWO SISTERS IN HEAVEN
 Hattie and Edith are not dead.
 Rut sweetly went to sleep
 Their souls the Saviour keeps.
 I call them Hattie and Edith.
 For they were younger than'l;
 think of them not in ths silent grave,
 But far above the sky. can think how they | ok. d when little girls Engaged in their innocent play. can think how they looked when in their can think how they look o-day. O, think of those beautiful. clean white robes. O. think of the crowns they wear;
 Tn that world so bright and fair. They are not on a bed of sickness now, And they don't feel any pain And they do not need 8 parents care, or nurse or phy sician again Grandmother know you'll misslthem, And so sS S Mi theie eher aod But let me say to you, Mourn not for H att ie and Edith,
 Our loss Is all their gain. For they are safe in Heaven now, And free from every pain. Those sisters are with mother now, And with grandfather. too. And with their God and Saviour,
 Waiting to welcome you. A few more years shall Lass away, A few more SeaSonS come. Then may we meet our dear loved ones, In that bright happy home.-[J. G. D

charter, and it was never intended
 when these trust companies were chartered that they would engage in savings bank business. But they did, not because they were given the right,
 but because there was nothing in the law to prevent them from doing so.
 A few facts relative to the situation in Rhode Island in the banking mat ter may be timely. The trust compa- n1eS of Rhode Island have almost driv- en the savings banks out of business, as will be seen from the following ta- ble showing deposits: 1906 S62, 43O00 S61, 1,740,a34 1sSd 1ss5 $: $ :sssss4 sssss4 gsS ,sas sas
 The savings banks of Rhode Island have S5, 900, 900 less deposits than they had 10 years ago, and the trust com pa nleS have S53, ,0OO, 900 more deposits than they had 10 years ago. Before the trust companies opened Tn Rhode Island there were 39 mutual savings banks there. To-day there are 29 and the affairs of 12 of these are being wound up, leaving only IT mutual saw in lngs !;S banks in Rhode Island that are panies have killed off g mutual saw ings banks in about seven years and are com peting on equal terms and un- der the same laws.
 Now that is not very pleasant sit nation for Connecticut to con tenn plate, is it? But it is exactly the condition in which this state will find herself if something is not done, and if the work of the present committee on banks is futile to accomplish the en- actment of laws that are needed to protect the mutual savings banks of Connecticut, then that fact alone vii be pretty good evidence chat the lobby still controls the general assembly.
 The trust companies make the claim that they cannot live if they are put on an equality with the savings banks, as regards the savings bank deposits. If they cannot, then why don't they keep to the line of business which it was intended they would conduct, a commercial bank?
 In the state of Massachusetts the mutual savings banks and the trust companies are on an equal footing, and the reports from that State show that the average interest earned by the trust companies last year was 4.54 per cent, that of the savings banks 4.21 per cent. That is a difference in excess of earning for the trust com panieS of .35 per cent. Now, if the Connecticut trust companies are earn ing much more than the MaSsachu- setts companies, doesn't it look as if they were taking doubtful business, and doing it at risk that is too great to be safe?-[ Bridgeport Herald5

mysterious Providence in the sickness and death of two lovely young ladies, the daughters of Joel H. Atwood. For several years they were my neighbors and one of them lived only few rods from us when she died. I don't know of anything that has occurred since l have lived in the state of Connecticut, that has impressed my mind and heart as the death of those two sisters, only few days apart, cut down right in the prime of life, when they were so we'll qualified to adorn society and be a help and blessing in their homes, in the church, and in the world. It did seem as if God would, (as in the case of Hezekiah), lengthen out their lives on earth few years longer.
