them 1.-The King of Love, My Shep-
herd ls," after which Mrs. w. f.
Doss conducted the devotional eX-
ercises by giving IA sketch of the

which time II little baby girl was
born to her. The disappointment to
her husband and his people at the
little baby being a girl instead of n
| boy made her life all the more miser-
/ able if possible. In short while
/ after this her hoy husband dies, and
| her little baby takes i'll with Il very
