A Tribute to Mrs. David Il. Stem.

One year ago, March -, 1910, our
dearly beloved friend, Mrs. David T.
Stem, of Sans Crsek, Md, passed
from our midst
Though absent from us in the body
yet we have felt a presence when
in her home, that made III think OF
the cloud of Witnesses, and fondIy
hope that she was near
We have missed her kind ministra-
tions, her loving words and the ready
smile that accompanied them.
Her mantle, though, has fallen on
those whom she left in the home, for
during the past year, they emulated
her in many ways, doing the things
which she did when among them, en-
tertaining the same friends whom she
received, thinking OF the poor and
supplying their needs, contributing
to the church and missionary cause
in her name. They work in unison,
remembering as she remembered.
"lnasmuch as We have done 1t unto
one Of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me-"
In the Sabbath School of Bethel
Church, where Mrs. Stem taught a
class Of girls, her place has been fill
ed by Mrs. Edward Carlisle, an in
tellectual and faithful worker, who,
while feeling the responsibility of
such charge, prayerfully and joy
fully takes up the work, following in
her friends footsteps.
Once, while sitting with Mrs. Stem
around the family board, we convers-
ed on good deeds accomplished dur
ing life; and the remembrance of
them after death. A guest said to
Mrs. Stem, You will be remembered
by whatyou have done" She respond
ed, IF I have done good deeds, / do
not remember them" Another said,
why your name will be a monument
to you" To which she replied with
a radiant countenance, "Oh, do you
think so?" During the past year, this
has been verified and our beloved,
though dead, vet speaketh'.
mo life can be pure in its purpose
and strong in its strife,
And all life not be purer and strong
er thereby"
MRS. EVELYN TIMANUS.

A Most Pleasant and Interesting
EvnRt
For the Advocate.

FOR tne Advocate
At the pleasant and hospitable home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. G. Wantz, near
Fountain Valley, a most enjoyable
and interesting event took place on
the night Of Saturday, March e5, 1t
being birthday surprise party, splen-
didly arranged by Mrs. Wantz, and
given by her in honor Of her husbands
birthday, March 26, which fell this
year on Sunday.
The Pleasant Valley Band, Of which
Mr. Wantz is a prominent and active
member was specially invited. lit was
ranged, to have the band give Mr..
Wantz a serenade before entering the
house, in order to make the surprise
more complete, if possible. Accord
ingly, the advance portion OF the large
company of guests gathered at the
barn and at the proper time approach
ed the house in body to the martial
music of the band. Happily, the "old
man. was caught mapping, and he af-
! terward said, I'm my sleep | heard
the drums and as | slowly awaken
ed realized what was going on and
said to myself, Well, the old man is
caught this time, | must say" it GER
tainly was complete surprise. The
fieeting hours were pleasantly spent
in all manner of indulgences, games,
social chat, listening to the excellent
selections by the band, also the graph
ophone, hut least of all partaking of
the many good things with which the
banquet board was laden, and beyond
the capacity of anyone. Mr.. WantZ
received number of post cards and
useful presents. At late hour the
company dispersed very evidently
much pleased with the event, but re
gretful that the evening was so short,
and wishing and hoping that Mr..
Wantz may live to enjoy many more
happy birthdays.

SILENT GRIEF OF A
REMOTE COMMUNITY
Awful Sorrow That Has Befalen
Aqua caliente Hot Springs

a pail of the deepest sorrow hung
over the little community of Agu,
Caliente Hot Springs a hundred
miles west Of Phoenix. all day yes
terday When the guests of tbs
Hotel Modesti arose in the morning
each lady donned a tie or bow oi
crepe and each gentleman tied a
ribbon OF the same fabric around his
sleeve
In the dining room at the breakfast
hour there was one chair draped in
the somber shades Of mourning
Deity twined about it were those rib
bons Of black. universal emblem OF
human grief. reverenced by prince
and peasant as the outward mani
festation Of the hearts most sacred
emotions
Adown the long corridor Of the
hotel an unwonted silence reigned.
while the open doorway OF vacant
room was draped in black Even
the voice Of the canary bird in the
cage that hangs at its entrance was
strangely stilled The dogs that
erstwhile dance about the feet Of Wis
itors To- the famous resort and lap the
hands that fondle them. lay torpid on
"A rug near the door. while the stage
driver who daily traverses the sandy
trail to Sentinel, went about his
morning duties perfunctorily and in
gloom.
An unnatural mist seemed to throw
a haze over the usual brilliance Of
the sun as it peeped above the east
ern hills and the matin songs Of the
desert birds were less clearly and
less frequently heard than on other
days when morning breaks. The
timorous cottontail and the scurrying
chipmunk seemed to have lost their
nervousness in their close environ
ment to human habitation, as though
approaching that for the time there
was naught in the soul of man that
should give them fright Even the
prospector built the fire in his near
by camp in but a desultory sort of
way while his patient burro stretching
his limbs in the gray dawn, for once
forgot to bray.
It was sad and pensive hour in
Aqua Caliente.
George Mintz was about to leave
for Phoenix after stay of ten days.
There are times when only silence
can portray poignant grief
