The Lord gave and the Lord ia
keith away. blessed be the name o:
the Lord"
Just as the old year was slowl,
dying, and many homes were rejoi
cling because New Year was being
born, in Heaven there was rejoicing
Angels were standing on the balcony
Of Heaven eagerly watching and
waiting for the return Of angels
with the little soul.
Not quite four years in the home
Of her parents, but in that time her
little life was so woven into their
ives that their very heart strings
were rent in twain. when God took
her.
A little sunbeam in the home, her
mothers little comforter, her faith
er's joy, the pet of her older broth
ars.
On Christmas day she was play
ing around the fire, her clothing
caught and she was seriously burn
ed. her first words were Papa send
for 4 doctor.''
Every thing that human skill could
10 was done, but Of no avail. Death
had marked her for his own. Not
:nurmur escaped her lips during her
Illness, SO peacefully and quietly did
she fall asleep that not even the
watchers by her cradle knew when
God reached down with His great,
loving arms and laid her safe in the
arms Of Jesus.
A little bud transplanted to Heav-
ems garden to grow and blossom in
purified beauty through all eternity,
where the frosts and chill of earth
cannot blight or wither.
$50 like lilly rare
So fragile and so fair
But dearest to the angels of all. !"
To the loved ones, | would say,
God makes no mistakes. He doeth
all things well, while your hearts
are broken now, He will bind up the
wounds. He knows just how to ap-
ply the healing balm to our poor
bruised hearts, and to Him we must
apply if we would have any allevia-
ton Of our sorrow, only he can lift
it.
Little Muriel -affectionately called
doll baby" is now looking from
the windows Of Heaven, reckoning
her loved ones there.
May God give them grace that
will enable them to bow il humble
submission to his will and say.

Il took Skovgaard, the famous
Danish violinist, thirty years to
make this hand.
To the ordinary eye it is not
very different from other well de-
veloped hands. Yet it has the
power almost automatically to ex-
press through the violin the ex-
quisite beauty and marvellous tone
pictures which the player feels and
sees as he interprets the work of
the masters.
As an investment it represents a
mans life-work. But it represents
too the Unborn gift which no mon
ey can buy. Without that no
work could mould a hand like this
hand of a master.
That is why it is insured for
fifty thousand dollars.-At Opera
House May 18th.
