family. A few days ago she was
taken with pneumonia fever which
caused her death. She passed a.
way Jan. 8, 1911. She leaves a
husband, six children, father,
two brothers, anda sister to mourn.
She was coverted at the age OF
twenty-five, but never united with
any church. She was help meet
indeed to her husband and a loving
and tender mother. She sent her
children to Sunday School and
church that they might learn to
love her Lord and His Christ.
The funeral services we're held
in the M. E. Church, after which,
the remains were laid to rest in the
Liberal cemetery to wait the res
direction. The town and COM
munity sympathize deeply with
the invalid husband and mother
less children.

Miss La Verne expects to continue
her studies in the Liberal high school

Here's a good motto: eff / don't

Ii the pupils in school are properly
graded and attend school regularly,
who is to blame II they do not do
the work required by the state? Or
in other words who is to blame II
they do not pass-the parents, thepu-
pills or the teacher? Last Sunday
while listening toa sermon on Love"
the greatest theme in the world.
Little Edward Strengthened himself
up and whispered to us: ''Is that
preacher trying to make me love the
people that are mean to me?" We
replied: Sure, that is what he Is
trying to have US all do" "Well,n
said he, II never can do that-love
people that are mean to me-" We
wonder how many of us older ones
can love those who despitefully use
us and prosecute u.s. and pray our
Heavenly Father to forgive them.
