It has been long time since have
written piece to the News, but !
have enjoyed reading the many good
letters from different correspondents.
We don't approve of Representa-
tive's" request for correspondents to
leave out the names of their neigh
bors, such rs So-and.sO is visiting So
andso. While this may not suit him
there are many which it does suit.
Those lit letters from the young
folks from different places, / think. are
enjoyed more by the people than

which he tells about. But. hurrah for
Representative" fol calling down
those low-down people who throw poor
little children into briar patches by
the wayside. There cannot be too
much said and published for such
crimes.
We are sorry to hear of 'Uncle
Tom s" trouble. We surely can SYM
pathize with him Ye writer lost his
wife and three little boys within thir-
teen months. The best way is to try
and overcome trouble and look to the
future. We are all born to die. How
sweet it is to know that our children
aud dear companions are prepared for
that world to come. Christ said, 81
will go and prepare place for you,
and will come again. The coming
of Christ is the contamination of the
christians hope. The event which
changes the christians experience
from mortality to immortality, from
the sorrows. labors and agonies of the
I 60 90 h<
felicities of the life to come. Other
hopes are set before us in the Scrip
lures, but the hope of the coming of
Christ is the GROWING hope of all, in
that it ushers in all other hopes
Christians should not only look for the
appearing of Christ but they should
love to contemplate it. There was no
man more true and devoted follower
of Christ than the Apostle Paul. To
him in life and in death the coming of
Christ was joyful theme, a blissful
hope. AS he drew near to the end of
his laborious life and was soon to stand
by the headsman's block, the thought
of the coming of his Divine Master
filled all the chambers of his soul with
gladness. Condemned to death by an
unrighteous judge, he looked forward
to the glad time when the Righteous
Judge would come to Judge the world
in righteousness. So, "Uncle Tom"
let's have that hope and 1.-Two good
christians and when death calls us we
will be prepared to meet our loved
ones where none ever die.
