Dear Aunt Nudge:
When the NJ B. circle meets again, another
dear member will be missing. Though

And friends, who'd dare to.keep hers
Let US sound no funeral knell;
But say of her life Twas blessed.
And say Of her death It's welr."
Sincere sympathy to Mr.. wyman and the
family from SISTER e.
Dear VI. BIS:

dear "Erne slime, whose death notice came
like shock, for only the day before was
thinking Of her and OF her genial DISPOSE
ton to make as ali SO happy at wyman cot
tage. How my heart went out in sympathy to
those left to mourn one who all these years
has been thoughtful for each one in the
home. May each one of their lives be blessed
in the years to come in the memory of one so
dear. We shall miss her, too.
SOMETIME,
But not to-day; then be content poor heart,
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white, un-
fold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes OF gold.
And il, through patient toll, we reach the
land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may
rest.
When we shall clearly know and understand,
I think that we will say, "God knew the
best"
