REV W E BRYCE HERE
Rev Bryce Comes From Ashland Ohio
to Attend Funeral of Frederick
Movers.

During the days of the pastorate of
Rev. Bryce there sprsng up a strong
friendship between the families of F.
w. Meyers ana that of the clergy
man, AZ they were close neighbors.
Rev. Bryce and wife and their child
rem seemed to appreciate little Fred
erick and it was most natural that
upon his death the dear friend should
be asked to come from Ashland, OHIO
to be with the sorrowing ones, and
say few words at the funeral. He
arrived on Monday evening and proved
the comfort which had been expected.
His words at the house and the tribute
to the life of Frederick Louis which
we publish elsewhere breath forth his
true feeling towards his little friend,
and all are so glad he could come at
this time.
We are pleased to hear that his
pastorate at Ashland is proving
happy one and that his dear wife and
the children are we'll. Rev. Bryce is

Words Of Appreciation by One of His

1T is strange that should be

Meyers was overheard saying to him.

playthings when but four years of
age. Was it that he "heard a voice
we cannot hear?" Perhaps it was
his heavenly spirit yearning for its
natural air. Those who knew Freder-
ick we'll know that he was an excep-
tional child. an exotic here on earth.
There are occasionally such children.
From very infancy they seem to bear
about with them an atmosphere not of
this world. We cannot but look on
them with awe, and humble ourselves
in their presence, and there is always
tremble in our hearts lest we might
offend them and their guardian angel
would gather them home.
Frederick was such a child. and
now he is gone. But the world is not
the same. Only eight years with US.
but there is more Of faith. more Of
love. more of sunshine with us. We
can never be the same after having
looked into those honest blue eyes
that seemed to read the in,nost

of people took advantage of the invi-
tation to step forward and view the
seemingly sleeping child. The last
parting for the parents and near rela-
tives was heartrending.
A long procession of carriages fol-
lowed the casket to the cemetery.
There the casket was tenderly carried
to the grave which had been lovingly
trimmed with ferns and flowers.
The pallbearers were fathers of play
mates of little Frederick. Messrs
Voss. Chamberlin. Mahoney and
rhos. Norris. Father Farrelly
sprinkled the casket and ground with
water sanctihed by his church. and
while the auartette sang two verses
of Lead Kindly Light" the casket
was slowly lowered to its last resting
place.
The burial service for the children
was given, the Catholic membership
present responding. Many stepped
forward to let fall a flower on the
bier. The casket was placed in an
air tight steel case. The burial was
on the Meyers family lot near the
entrance to the cemetery. The dear

Tne presence of Rev. W. E. Bryce,
who came on invitation from Ashland,
Ohio. and his remarks at the funeral
were most comforting to the friends.
The scripture readings were ap-
propriate giving assurance of life
beyond. The sermon called to mind
how David mourned and besought the
Lord for the restoration of health to
his son. but when the lad was taken.
he grieved no more. saying 81 cannot
bring him back but can go where
he is. Elsewhere we give the trib-
ute of Rev. Bryce to this dear sweet
character.
The services at the Catholic church
were of impressive character. Rev.
Father Farrelly we'll said that the
soul of Frederick Louis was pure and
unsullied and masses for the repose
of such soul were not needed. After
few ceremonials the good priest began
his remarks with voice full of feel
ing. for he too loved Frederick. In
view of the out pouring of both Cath
olics and Protestants and the fact
that Catholic priest was to accom-
pany the casket to cemetery not of
his church. Father Farrelly we'll chose

The Exhibit of Work Done by
the School Children.
GREAT INDUSTRY SHOW N
Supt Fellows and His Teachers to be
Congratulated.

Last Friday was "Exhibit Day
for the pupils of the Denison schools.
Hundreds of pupils large and small
had been doing busy work. drawing
maps. making outlines. putting arith-
metic work on paper. or working in
the manual training department for
months past, with the thought in view,
/ that the loved ones at home and the
public generally would give these in
spection. At last the day came when
the daily work of all the pupils was
placed in order ready for public view.
The entire big high school room was
not large enough to hold the exhibit.
although the greatest care was taken
to economic space. Tables stretch
ling across the entire length of the
room were placed close together. and
the walls AS high up as one could ex-
anime the work were utilized. What a
sight it was! Each teacher stood
near the work done by her pupils
ready to select out what had been
done by any particular one. when a
request was made.
OF course each parent was drawn
instinctively to the teacher who hac
in charge the work of their boy or gir
and the teacher who had any shrewd.
ness was not slow in putting the sam
pies in the hands Of the parents fo,
inspection. There was the busy work
of the tots in the kindergarten, tEs

The manual training department
came in for much attention. Some O
the best work was done by the girl
and they were very proud. Their
were chairs. writing desks. foot rest

commended for keeping up this de
