the old home continue as in the days of
her parents-the home of the preacher.
She lived the Christ-life, and all who
knew her caught the radiance of her
faith and hope and love, for the Divine
benediction rested upon her. OF her
children, only one preceded her to the
Heavenly home-a daughter, leaving
little daughter, whom Mrs. Lawrence
took to her home and motherly heart
one daughter and the little girl remain
ing with her, filling in great measure
the life made lonely by the marriage of
other children, who have made for
themselves homes and are filling trust
worthy positions as the children of
Christian parents, treading the upward
path where their mother placed their
feet in childhood.
In this home where Mrs. Lawrence first
opened her eyes on the riot of roses and
honeysuckels she spent her childhood
and happy girlhood days after the man.
ner usual in the old Southern plantation
home, where hospitality abounded and
the string ever hung on the out
side" There her husband won her shy,
sweet love; here she became a bride;
here she made home happy till failing
health, pain and suffering made her their
victim for months before she passed be-
You'd the swelling flood" and entered
one of those many mansions builded in
the infinite meadows Of Heaven.
Not dead, not lost; but waiting in
joyous anticipation of happy reunion
in that glorious country "where flowers
immortal bloom"
She passed away in her sublime faith
in Jesus. Her last words to her sister,
in-law, "Mary, I am ready to go, thank
God" echo from the farther shore to this
like peon of victory. During all the
months when agony and pain laid their
pallid hands upon her brow, she patiently
bore it all till one by one her grasp on
earthly things was released.
Let us think, as her dying eyes rested
on the serene and shining pathway of
stars, she read mystic meaning which
only the rapt and parting soul may
know
With sad hearts we robed her in inn
maculate white, placed flowers which
she loved, and these tenderly, reverently
sorrowing as we will forever, the short
absence OF one so loved. With an i'm
pressive service we laid her in that
chamber facing the sun-rising, "and
the name Of the chamber is Peace"

Almost a Creation.

During Governor Rollins administra-
ton representative of the legislature
of New Hampshire from one Of the ru-
raj districts in the northern section Of
the state was presented to the gov
ernor for the first time. Being some
what unfamiliar with "statehouse ETH
quette,'' he addressed his excellency
as most high"
The governor Informed the gentle
man from the rural district that there
was but one most high, he who had
made everything from nothing
well, governor" replied the country
legislator, "Ill give you credit for
making justice of the peace out of a
man up in my town that is about as
near to nothing us ever walked on two
legs"

In MemOriam.

With consciousness of my inability to
describe in manner worthy of the sub
ject, at length submit to Importantly
in order to put together some memorials
of this noble woman, Mrs. Lula K.
Roucher, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. D.
Rogers Of Carterville, La.
She wos born September q, 1880,
which period Of time occupies con-
spicuous place in the heart Of sacred
memories. Lula was raised in a Christian
home where the gathering around the
family altar forms picture in the mind
which swiftly passing years and rapidly
increasing cares do not dim, but clarity.
During the year 1904 she became men,
Der Of the Methodist Protestant Church,
and among noble members she stands
clear in memory's view, and, the majes-
tic and reverent manner in which she
worshipped forms another picture which
for interest and impressiveness deserves
central position in the hall Of sacred
memories.
On November 18, 1905, with the full
appreciation of all her friends, she was
married to Mr.. Robert Boucher, who
rendered his judicious care to her with
the greatest of respect. Her manner Of
life during the short time that she and
her husband lived together was most
satisfactory to all who knew them. Thus
it is no little grief to me to announce
that the dearly beloved one departed this
life September22, 1909, leavinga husband
and one sweet little child, father,
mother, six sisters, two brothers and a
host of friends to grieve over her de-
parture.
To say that it grieved us to see her 90,
cannot be fully and adequately expressed
in human language. But, thanks be to
God, we can say that it was an unspeak-
able calmness and serenity of spirit, a
tranquility in the blood of Christ which
kept her soul when pressing dying pill
low. Thus it will be adequate to say,
81 nothing have, I nothing am, only my
treasures are in the bleeding Lamb"
The thought enhvens my faith. Lord
give me to walk in her steps. Then shall
l see again, and my heart shall rejoice
as we shall eternally behold the Lamb
together. Faith brings near the welcome
moment! and now she beckons me away
and Jesus bids me come.
On the 23d her dear remains were de-
posted in the Walker Cemetery, amid
the tears and lamentations of a host of
friends. The service was performed by
the Rev. MryHolt, whom God enabled
to speak in pathetic manner to his
weeping flock. HER BROTHER, I'D.

A Soft Answer.

During one Of the national political
conventions an orchestra was playing
in popular restaurant The place
was crowded with delegates, and the
diners were talking loudly so they
might hear and be heard. At one ia
BILE sat beautiful woman and her es-
cort and at the next table a number
of New York men.
Suddenly the orchestra stopped
bing!-and a New York mans voice
rang out: "By George, that's good
looking woman! I'd like to meet her.
The man at the next table. who was
with the lady, came over. tapped the
New Yorker on the shoulder and said
frigidiy, '.Sir, that lady is ms wife.''
Shaker said the New York man
I'm glad to meet you. You certainly
are good picker"
And hostilities were averted.
